I found this place on Craigslist post. I bought a quail hunt for a Christmas present for me and my son. Hoped to go out in January. Well all the rain and my schedule kept pushing it out. Walter was great to work with and text communication was excellent!!

Finally got out February 15 and it was a perfect day. His dogs made all the difference in a successful hunt. We will do this again for sure. Thanks Walter!

I love the privacy of this range! When we reserve range-time, we are usually the only shootets on the property. Plus, the land is beautiful!

The rifle range has berms in a straight line every 100 yards, from 100 to 600 - plus a way to shoot diagonally st 700 yards. The concrete benches are adjustable and sturdy, although the bench on the right needs to be re-anchored to the ground.

Range-owner Walter is very friendly and easy to work with. He provides one blank target-board per visit, and you can attach any number of targets to it. If you want to shoot at different ranges without moving targets, you can buy additional cardboard target-backing.
Very casual and easy to shoot here, and as I said earlier - the land is beautiful! My son & I love it!

Great place to shoot by yourself. You reserve time slots in 2 hour increments and can shoot up to 600 yards. Would highly recommend.

I am preparing for an elk hunt & was looking for a range where I could shoot out to 600 yards. I found Poetry on the internet, called the number & spoke with Walter. He was very accommodating & scheduled me for a 2 hour time slot. The range is one shooter at a time, & must be scheduled. I absolutely love the privacy & safety of being the only one on the range. There are two concrete shooting benches that provide very sturdy platform. There is no cover so take some type of portable shade & water. I look forward to visiting regularly!

I booked a time to go out to Poetry Shooting Club. And I'm glad I did. A man named Mr. Walter Patton is the owner. There's a 700 yard shooting range. You can book hunting with a guide if you Lille. There's a bird dog training facility. Pistol and rifle range. Quail Hunting Preserve. Deer are everywhere. A Family Style Private Club. I have been looking for a real shooting and hunting club for quite a while. I found it! Beautiful lakes. Great location. Just on the other side of Terrell. I don't have their address but you can find it on their web site. Entry just off of the highway with a 1 1/2 mile entry driveway.

Just went back after not shooting for a while. Walter has made some amazing improvements to the place! Loved the battery operated skeet thrower (foot control so you can shoot solo too). It was really nice to be able to shoot skeet, then handgun, then rifle all the way out as far as you would ever want to take a shot at an animal. I can't think of another range nearby where you can do all 3. Best shooting experience in the area and I highly recommend.

Talk about middle of nowhere! This property is really nice. 56 acres off TX 34 and over a mile inside the property to the office. If you are someone who likes the quiet and stars at night OR if you like hunting small game, this is a great place. They have dogs on the property that looked like hunting dogs and land as far as the eye could see. They have long ranges here for shooting and the owners couldn't be nicer.

If you wanted to bring a camper and hang out a bit I'm sure they would rent some space for that too.

This place is great! Been coming here to train our dog on birds and the guy who owns it is always ready for us when we get there (even though we're often a few minutes late from our commute from Dallas.) You can't beat the price or the distance from Dallas, but on top of that, he's always available and helpful every time we go out to train our dog. Couldn't ask for anything better!

Beautiful open land with plenty of private space to hang out with friends and family to enjoy shooting pistols, rifles and shotguns. Walter was very nice and gave us instructions on house rules and policy. The kids shot their first guns and loved the experience. We’ll definitely be back for more.

Took my daughter to PSC last week to shoot on the rifle range. We had a great time. Will definitely be going back soon.

A very nice property owned by a very friendly man. Walter's prices are great and the range is huge and beautiful. I got to shoot in comfort and privacy and also bumped a doe on the way in - if I am going to hunt whitetail on private land in Texas this is the first place that will pop into my mind.
It was very nice to meet Walter and I'm glad I was introduced to the club! Don't forget to say hi to the Good Dogs!

Thanks Walter. Tanner and I had a great time. This is a great drive from DFW.

It is an informal place located on a good sized property and was quite lovely the day I was there as some native plant with white blossoms was in bloom.. Very nice.
I think there were about three shooters when I was there, all on different ranges and I liked being alone.. The range that I was on was in a field so it was not fancy like a citified range.. The owner, Walter, was quite helpful and friendly.
And in case you like to graze after shooting, I can recommend Jungle. Burger in Terrell.. It was excellent.

I took my 4 year old daughter (Walters granddaughter) hunting a while back and it was her first bird hunt ever. She enjoyed the whole experience! Unfortunately my belly didn't enjoy the experience as much due to my poor shooting abilities but that will improve. Great times. Thanks for opening up a new adventure for us

Great place! Can't wait to get back out there. The 700 yard rifle range is awesome.

My puppy Jaeger and I had a great time with Walter. My pup was 11 weeks old so we explored the large field on a long lead and waded in the ponds. Then I hid a couple homing pigeons in a smaller field. Mr. Patton showed me how to lock the wings. Jaeger managed to find them all and bring them to me just in time for the wings to come unlocked and fly out of his mouth. It was hilarious and I'll be back. My dog was happy to get out of our manicured neighborhood.

What a fantastic place! I first took my Shorthair pup down to Poetry this summer to get some basic help from Walter, the owner of the club. Walter gave me some great practical advice, and it definitely helped me a lot. I've gone back several times now to rent Walter's homing pigeons for dog training, and this weekend to hunt quail for the first time with my pup. If you want a great place to hunt, train a dog, or shoot, I strongly recommend Poetry Shooting Club, and its owner Walter Patton!
