Bandera Gun Club

If you've never been to the Bandera Gun Club shooting range. DON'T! It's the worst run gun range I've ever seen. Very run down. Disorganized too! Don't waste your time. It's a pitiful excuse for a gun range. Double the prices if you need to in order to update the facilities. Bad bad bad!

Big disappointment for ranges. Not a good first impression at all. Very poorly ran business. This gun club needs work, lots of work! We were guests of a lifetime member, were looking forward to sending rounds down range and once you rebuild, if possible target backboards, you might get to shoot. But look out for other shooters as everyone seems to only focus on what they're doing and not what or where other shooters are. Older gentlemen working the office isn't friendly and wouldn't even speak to us, the customer.

1. Target backings/boards are all in severely bad shape, if even still standing and need replacing, rebuild or build.
2. Surprised to see they don't make you clean up your own brass. Lazy management or ownership?
3. Trap shooting was next to the one rifle range and they kept shooting into the range making it difficult to go down range to retrieve or look at our targets.
4. Zero range control and observed several unsafe acts from other shooters.

We don't enjoy ranges where the control is so strict or tight that you get yelled at or kicked off, but this place needs something safety wise.

This could be a well run and established gun club and range, but lots need to be improved upon.

This is a family owned business. A simple friendly facility that promotes youth shooting sports, home to the seven time state champion Bandera County 4H Shotgun Team. Great skeet and trap fields with lots of pistol and rifle ranges. Reasonable prices and quality facilities.

Many reviews here about the man being rude there. However, this is exactly my type of range. They leave you alone and you go about your business. You are your own Range Master. $15 a head (no time limit) and it even comes with a target.

Simple bare bones range. Don't have to walk over people to get a spot. It's a place to shoot not a restaurant or social club, people working are straight forward and told me everything i needed to know. If you need your hand held and a conversion go somewhere else. I'll definitely be back.

Great place to shoot, family owned and operated. One staff member is laconic, so don't expect him to engage in a conversation on Whitman, tort law or micro-brewing. He knows his stuff. That he works there speaks extremely well of the owner. If you want a comfortable place to enjoy espresso & stimulating conversation, there is a Starbucks only 24 miles away in Boerne.

Bottom line is I would rather shoot here than other ranges that are closer.

Oh, and if you are really put off by conservative politics, well look in the mirror and tell yourself "I need to learn to be tolerant, just like I tell all those other people I don't agree with. "

I decided to bring out my family to shoot even after reading the negative reviews. Save yourself the $20 per person and go shoot anywhere else. I live 15 minutes away and will never go back.
The place is trashy and unkept. The guy who works there is extremely rude. It’s like an imposition that you are there. Learn from my mistake and go to a legitimate range.

Impolite staff. Seriously didn’t care at all. We are from out of town and brought our family while we are together. We made the most of it but beware and choose a different place if you want a place to shoot.
