Lake Highlands Shooting Center (LHSC) is a family-owned and managed indoor shooting range in central Dallas, Texas, located a block south of LBJ and a block east of Plano Rd. It is open to the public and membership is not required. The facility has climate control, bullet traps and acoustical sound prevention.
The range has 12 lanes in three bays, all at 15 yards. The first two bays have five lanes each and are used for general shooting and for License to Carry (LTC) and basic training classes. The third bay has two lanes used for the MILO scenario training system, small private parties of up to eight shooters, and AR-15 and AK-47 rifles. LHSC is primarily a pistol range; all pistol and revolver calibers are accepted, along with rifles with projectile velocities up to 3,500 fps. Shotguns are allowed only for security qualifications with an instructor.
The MILO Live Fire projection targeting system offers up to 800 scenarios, including shoot/don't-shoot situations, zombies, balloons and other moving and stationary targets. Shooters can use their own firearm, a rental, or laser-equipped Glock training pistols. An instructor can use the "Branching" feature to change a scenario in real time. LHSC states it is the only public range in the Dallas Metroplex with MILO Live Fire.
Training is taught by contractor instructors and includes License to Carry, Basic Defensive Handgun, Defensive Handgun I, II and III, Intro to Defensive Shotgun, Intro to AR weapons, Hunter Education, NRA Basic Pistol, NRA Basic Rifle, Range Safety Officer Certification, security courses (Levels II, III commissioned, IV Bodyguard) and a School Safety Officer/Guardian certification course. Qualified, insured independent instructors may bring their own classes. Three classrooms are on site and can also host birthday, bachelor and group events for 6 to 25 people.
The retail side carries a small selection of firearms, with five wholesale suppliers able to ship in two to three days, plus range ammunition from .22 to .45-70, eye and ear protection, and gun cases. FFL transfers are handled Wednesday through Sunday, and there is no transfer fee on firearms purchased from LHSC. Rental guns, a privacy lounge with two adjoining private lanes, memberships, punch cards and gift cards are also available.
