Poetry Shooting Club in Terrell, Texas, is a private 700-yard known-distance rifle range built for independent precision shooting, load testing, and private appointment-based range sessions.


Wide-open North Texas pastureland and uninterrupted sightlines give Poetry Shooting Club a stripped-back, independent long-range shooting environment focused on self-managed precision rifle work. The rifle range extends to 700 yards, with berms and target holders spaced every 100 yards, creating a clean, known-distance setup suited to load development, scope tracking, and DOPE confirmation. Unlike most modern long-range facilities, steel targets are completely prohibited, with shooters instead using paper, clay pigeons, balloons, and approved binary targets across the range.
Heavy steel tables, portable benches, and optional Lead Sled rentals support traditional bench shooting, while prone, free-standing, and stick shooting are permitted with manager approval. The appointment-only format keeps the rifle line private and quiet, allowing shooters to run their own range session without active range officers or crowded firing lines. The overall atmosphere leans practical and old-school rather than competition-oriented or tactical.
Key Features:
Poetry Shooting Club is best suited to independent precision rifle shooters, reloaders, and hunters who want private long-range time for data gathering and rifle tuning without the structure of crowded public or competition-focused facilities.
