About Us

The Armed Texans facility offers a wide array of ranges and target variations. This design is a refinement from Kelly’s experience in local, state and federal law enforcement training facilities and NRA range development certification.

The facility features a campus that incorporates a 2400 sq ft class room facility and six outdoor shooting ranges, covering 20 acres. The ranges include a 100 yard multi use range with a 20 position covered shooter pavilion, four 50 yard pistol ranges set up in a variety of challenging layouts which include IDPA layouts, reactive and non-reactive steel targets. We also feature a 200 yard long range rifle bay.

Taking the best aspects of design and function, Kelly has designed this facility to be efficient in use and movement to and from the ranges in order to maximize training time. Armed Texans offers dual and multi-use ranges that incorporate various different target platforms.
