Quality CHL Instruction Matters!

Handgun ownership is a serious responsibility and you should know that your training at Patriot Range is provided by a highly qualified instructor who is a professional educator. We don't cut corners either in classroom instruction or in the shooting exam, and if you take your course from us you can be confident that you are well versed in your rights and responsibilities as a Concealed Handgun License holder.

We have a superbly qualified instructor and we have posted his resume on the CHL page.

Yes, we do the shooting exam and photographs right here as part of the package! Due to a change in State regulations, you must now contact the State for fingerprints - see the CHL link above for instructions.

Student Discount

College students with a valid ID can shoot for $12 per day. You must be 21 to rent a gun or buy ammo.

Free Gun Rental And Lower Range Fee For Women On Sunday

This is a great deal. Women can come in on Sunday, pay a just a $12 range fee plus tax and use a rental gun for free. Like all persons who desire to rent handguns at Patriot, women wishing to participate in the Sunday special must be proficient with a handgun (see information in the right hand column of this page regarding handgun rentals). Women who are beginners or novices are also welcome with arrangements for range-approved instruction (additional instructional fees may apply).


IDPA

International Defensive Pistol Association is a fun way to learn to use your pistol for self defense. We stress safety and eveyone has a good time. You are welcome to stop by and watch, or just come a bit early and shoot with us. Coffee and donuts are provided. Please call us for details and an explanation of our safe gunhandling considerations. IDPA begins at 9:00 am Saturday morning.

The Benefits of Membership

Members can shoot all day, every day if they wish. Yearly rates are $350 for an individual or $450 for a family. If you plan to shoot more than twice a month, a membership is the more economical way to go. Members only need to pay for the targets they shoot. There are no extra hidden fees. Also, members can use any of our rent guns at no cost (although they still have to use our ammunition).

Gift Certificates

Yes, we are once again featuring our popular gift certificates. These are available in any amount and can be used for anything we sell or offer. Many people give Concealed Handgun Courses or a day of shooting. Stop by to get a great gift for the shooter (or new shooter) in your life.

 
Yes we are open!
With the recent passing of Rick Mosley, one of the business partners here at the range, we have received many telephone calls and some inquiries as to the the current status and future of the range. First we would like to thank everyone for their messages of sympathy and support. We would also like to assure the Lubbock community that Patriot Range is open and will continue to provide all of the services for which we have become known.

2013: NEW RESTRICTIONS ON INEXPERIENCED SHOOTERS


     Safety is our primary concern at the range and the recent closure of the shooting range in Slaton has meant a drastic increase in the number of shooters here. As a result we have had to institute a new policy. We cannot allow novice (new, inexperienced) shooters to shoot here, and we will not allow them to be instructed by family members, friends or outside instructors at this range. This is a matter of safety and there will be no exceptions made. We do have an excellent instructor and, after one lesson with him, novice shooters will be allowed to shoot here. We realize that this may pose an inconvenience for some people, but safety is paramount at Patriot Range.


NO BLACK POWDER

This is a PISTOL RANGE (and rimfire rifles like .22). No centerfire rifles are permitted.


We are a Class II Manufacturer and a dealer of Class III weapons.


LAW ENFORCEMENT AND MILITARY DISCOUNT

Active duty military and law enforcement personnel can shoot for $12 per day. This includes Police, Sheriff's Office, FBI, ATF, U.S. Marshals, DPS and Game Wardens. Please be prepared to present your credentials. We understand that IRS is currently arming their agents, and they are excluded.



Dillon Reloaders

We would be happy to demonstrate our Dillon 1050, 650, and 550 models for you. (It is really no trouble since we use them every day.) We will configure your Dillon loader for one caliber before it leaves our store.


MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD

If you have been dismayed by the scarcity of ammunition and/or firearms at your local retailers, please contact our local representatives to let them know you support the Second Amendment.

AMMUNITION AVAILABILITY

We have ammunition.
Here is the list of our current ammunition supply as of 6/15/13


AMMUNITION SALE POLICY

     Due to the shortage of pistol ammunition and the fact that we want our shooters to be able to purchase the ammunition they need to shoot while at our range, we will only sell ammunition to people who are actively shooting here and need ammunition to begin or finish their shooting session. This means that, for the time being, we won't sell ammunition to be carried out the door.


Read This About Gun Rental

Our rental guns offer an excellent selection of Glocks, some 1911s, Springfield XDMs, Ruger .380s and other pistols. You must be at least 21 years old and proficient with a handgun to rent a pistol at the range. Be prepared to demonstrate your proficiency before rental. And please don't take offense at the questions; we want everyone to be safe at the range. For those people who are not proficient, we highly recommend a two-hour session with our excellent instructor. You will learn the shoot the right way and the safe way and you will have confidence in what you are doing.

EXPANDED SELECTION OF RENT GUNS

Due to customers asking about more concealed carry options, we are expanding our rent gun collection to include smaller pistols like .380 caliber. We are also have a .22 magnum revolver which is an option for those who want a lower recoil revolver for self defense. Additionally, now have an AR-15 style rifle in .22 long rifle caliber.

Here is a list of rent guns available (PDF file, June 2013)

Range Brass for Sale

We sell high-quality range brass for 3 to 10 cents per piece depending on caliber.


Only Patriot Instructors Allowed

The Patriot instructors for Concealed Handgun Licensing, Basic Handgun and Competition classes have decades of combined experience which encompasses law enforcement and military small arms and/or Expert Classifications in IDPA and USPSA and/or winners of state, national and international defensive pistol championships. Not to mention National Rifle Association (NRA) instructor certifications in Basic Pistol, Personal Protection in the Home and Range  Safety Officer. While we could go on and on, let it suffice to say that the instructors employed by Patriot are credentialed professionals with proven track records and years of experience. While all positions are currently filled, any applicants with credentials that meet or exceed those of our current staff of instructors are welcome to apply.

Patriot Family Shooting Center embraces the concept that safe and enjoyable shooting occurs only as the result of competent instruction, proper training and practice. Because Patriot Family Shooting Center cannot and will not assume any liability for instruction provided by unauthorzed and/or non-range-approved persons or instructors, any such instruction is strictly prohibited in this facility.
