NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, has awarded the Texas Gun Club in Stafford its coveted Five-Star rating for range excellence. Five stars is the highest rating in NSSF’s star-rating system, which evaluates shooting facilities based on appearance, management and shooting sports development and amenities.

Texas Gun Club has locations in League City and Stafford, and the Stafford facility is the recipient of the Five-Star rating. Located southwest of Houston, Stafford receives high marks for family living, and it’s not surprising that family is a focus at Texas Gun Club.

Texas Gun Club is all about community. The partners of Texas Gun Club value being good neighbors, growing the shooting sports and promoting responsible gun ownership coupled with providing exceptional customer service. Fun, friendly and safe is the range’s motto.

“You can tell from the moment you walk in that Texas Gun Club-Stafford puts the attention on the customer, whether they’re experienced or new to shooting,” said Zach Snow, NSSF Director, Member Development. “Texas Gun Club has a lot to offer its customers, from training to retail shopping to memberships that suit all needs. Texas Gun Club-Stafford is deserving of NSSF’s Five-Star rating.”

At the core of the facility are a top-notch target-shooting range and a retail store.

The range features spacious, wide lanes with a temperature-controlled environment. There are digital displays for accurate target distance placement, daily usage specials and a wide range of firearm rentals. It’s the perfect place to try out a firearm to see what make and model suits you best.

Texas Gun Club places a premium on safety. Guests must be able to demonstrate safe firearm handling skills prior to shooting on the range, but if you need to learn the basic safety rules or need a refresher, you must take a short, inexpensive range familiarization and etiquette class.

Memberships provide guests great value. There are monthly and yearly range memberships, and premier members have access to the beautiful Independence Lounge. It’s the place to relax with friends before and after visiting the range, taking a class or participating in other range activities.

Daily specials are a fun part of Texas Gun Club’s offerings. On Mondays, show your carry license and get a range discount. Defender Tuesdays provide first responders with discounts and free handgun rentals, and it’s the same for Ladies Wednesdays. Seniors are the focus on Thursdays, and those who wear a Texas Gun Club t-shirt on Fridays receive specials.

Training class offerings are extensive. From introductory courses including NSSF’s First Shots, to the “next-step” Academy Prep course that gets you ready for the three-course Academy (Marksman, Gunslinger and Gunfighter), you can progress in your skills and confidence. There are youth courses and carry courses covering what you need to know from classroom to range. If you’re interested in competition, Texas Gun Club has you covered here as well.

There’s an active calendar of special events. A recurring one is the U.S. Concealed Carry Association’s Women’s Personal Safety Workshop. Or schedule a private event for team building, meetings or parties.

The retail shop is fully stocked with firearms for sale—new and previously owned—as well as ammunition, gun parts, shooting supplies and accessories—everything customers need to enjoy their time on the firing line. Gunsmithing services are offered too.

“NSSF’s Five-Star Rating is the recognition that every range seeks, and we’re proud to receive this recognition. We’re dedicated to making our customers feel welcome, supported and leaving having had a great experience every time they come to Texas Gun Club,” said Craig Davis, Texas Gun Club VP & COO.
