description

Built on a portion of the historic Camp Howze Army Training Base, Red River West in Cooke County, TX, delivers a structured and highly regulated environment for long-range shooting.

Precision-focused shooters can access targets out to 1,050 yards, but only after passing the facility’s Long Range Safety Vetting Course—a mandatory, in-depth evaluation covering rifle handling, SOPs, gear inspection, and marksmanship testing (5 hits per distance, 100-yard increments).

Key details:

  • Long Range (3–1,050 yards): Access beyond 300 requires qualification. Targets are positioned at intervals for incremental progression.
  • Flat Deck Range (3–300 yards): Open to vetted and non-vetted shooters for zeroing, carbine, and handgun work.
  • Strict Ammo Policy: Only brass-cased, American-made ammunition from an approved list (e.g., Federal, Hornady, Black Hills). No steel, green tip, remanufactured, or foreign ammo permitted.
  • Velocity Cap: Max of 3,200 fps. .338 and .50 BMG are prohibited.
  • Appointment Only: The facility is open Tuesday through Thursday, with limited weekend access depending on training ops. Reservations are required 24–72 hours in advance.

It is ideal for serious long-range practitioners, hunters, or military/LEO shooters seeking a safe, structured place to validate gear and refine their precision craft under controlled supervision.
