A Place To Shoot is an outdoor gun range and retail gun store at 13250 Pleasanton Rd in San Antonio, Texas, about 10 miles south of downtown. The facility is open to the public seven days a week and operates first come, first served, with no reservations needed for the ranges.
The range complex includes a 23-bay pistol range (gravity-fed system with steel dividers) and a standard rifle range with 100-yard lanes, 25 & 100 yard combo lanes, and 50-yard lanes. A separate precision range has 100, 200 and 300 yard targets, with a camera system at 200 and 300 yards that lets shooters view their targets on a smartphone through the TargetVision app. Shooters on the precision range must first make a 6-inch group at 100 yards before moving out to 200 and 300. The archery field has foam target stands at 20, 30, 40 and 50 yards with covered shooting positions, arrow holders and bow hangers. Shotgun fields offer skeet, trap, country doubles and crazy quail. A full-time range safety officer is on duty every day, with three on weekends.
Training includes the Texas License to Carry (LTC) course, beginner classes, advanced classes and private instruction tailored to the firearm and need. LTC instructors are Texas DPS-certified LTC instructors, NRA firearms instructors and NRA range safety officers, all current or former law enforcement and/or military. Classes are held on a private training range and are scheduled through the online scheduler.
The store stocks over 700 guns, plus scopes and optics with mounting, suppressors, ammunition, holsters, magazines, apparel, cases, cleaning supplies and reloading supplies. It also offers special orders, a consignment program, buying and selling of new and used guns, a 60-day layaway program, FFL and NFA transfers, and limited gunsmithing (cleanings, sight-ins, scope mounting and AR builds). A rental program covers handguns, semi-auto rifles, bolt-action rifles and 12-gauge shotguns.
