Alpine Shooting Range has served the Fort Worth area since 1968. It is an outdoor facility at 5482 Shelby Rd, about 16 miles south of downtown Fort Worth, with rifle, pistol, steel-target and shotgun/clay-target ranges plus a full-line gun and shooting-supply store. It is open daily from 9am to 6pm.
The rifle area has 100, 50 and 30 yard ranges. Centerfire rifles can be fired at all three distances and rimfire rifles at 50 and 30 yards; all calibers up to but not including .50 BMG are allowed as long as the ammunition is not FMJ. The handgun area has 60 lanes with target boards adjustable from 3 to 15 yards, and a couple of lanes in the pistol bays are set aside for shotgun use. A separate reactive steel range for non-magnum handguns has plate racks, dueling trees, hostage targets and silhouettes, with no rate-of-fire restriction unless a range officer says otherwise. A concealed-carry training bay can be reserved by instructors or groups, and a 50-foot pistol range is available by reservation.
Shotgun shooters can choose skeet, trap, 5-stand, sporting clays and manual traps. Manual traps are a lower-structure way to start clay shooting, and the only fee is the cost of the clays bought from the range. Golf carts can be rented for $20, and punch cards are sold for the range, for skeet/trap/5-stand rounds and for sporting clays.
Instruction includes the Texas License to Carry (LTC) course, a 5-hour class that includes the shooting qualification, and an NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting course (7 hours of classroom time and 1 hour of private range time). Alpine also offers customized group courses for corporate, professional, community and club groups, and LEO and security training using its classroom, clubhouse, pavilion and range. A Draw-from-the-Holster qualification lets shooters who pass reserve the concealed carry range in one-hour blocks for practice.
Rental guns are available for shooters without their own firearms: roughly twenty handgun models, ten rifle models and over twenty shotgun models, with shotguns at $15 for the day. The store sells firearms, ammunition, magazines, silencers, reloading supplies, knives, optics, gun safes and hunting clothing, scents, blinds and decoys, and it also handles collector long guns and revolvers.
