Fossil Pointe

Great staff! Awesome place to shoot! I highly recommend this place to all shooters!

Fossil Pointe is a great place to shoot and all of their staff were very nice and helpful. Pops got us setup and made sure that we were safe and enjoyed our rounds. If you’re in the area and enjoy sporting clays, drop by; you’ll be glad you did.

I have hosted corporate events, attended fundraisers for some great charities, taken high school shooting teams to practice, and enjoyed shooting myself at this venue many times. One of the best Texas Country views from a Skeet Course in Texas!
The crew at Fossil Pointe is awesome, helpful and friendly!

I would not base anything off the single poor review about Fossil Pointe Shooting Sports.
Everything thing about Fossil Pointe is amazing. Our local chapter of Ducks Unlimited held our annual charity sporting clay shoot there last weekend. Our event was a great success in very large part to Fossil Pointe, its incredible staff and its owners Maryam and David.
We had nearly 130 people at our event and due to the wet weather, we were in danger of having to cancel the event. Maryam did an amazing job of calming people down during the rain delay and after about an hour wait we resumed shooting.
The maintenance staff had their hands full due to the rain keeping the machines running. They did an incredible job of keeping things moving.
Lastly, Fossil Point, and Maryam and David in particular bent over backwards to accommodate us. They gave us free reign of the clubhouse to set it up like we needed for our event and provide all the tables and table cloths for out use.
This is a first rate facility with an incredibly friendly and professional staff.
If you get a chance to go shoot there, jump at it.

My son and I have been going there for several months now and have yet to have a problem with Fossil Pointe. They seem committed to customer service. A case in point, we happened to ask if they had a 5-​stand setup. As they had just had the State Finals onsite, they were not quite set up but asked me to let them know the next time I would be there and they would have it ready. Another case in point, while at the pistol range I was trying to no avail to help my son alleviate an issue of limp-​wristing that was leading to stove piping. Randy, the RSO, noticed our issue and stopped to give a few pointers that not only alleviated the stove piping but also greatly improved his grouping!
Sporting Clays
I believe they have 3 course of different difficulties though I have only tried one of them. Each station is set up to give you a different challenge with clay pigeons flying ways you might encounter them in the field. There is even one set up to roll them like a rabbit running (a personal favorite). The number of clays you throw is kept track of by a magnetic card. If you don’t feel like walking they also have golf carts available for rent. The location is also a benefit. It is far enough out that you feel you are alone (e.g. no planes flying overhead).
Pistol/​Rifle Range
My first impression was that Randy wasn’t like the usual RSOs one meets. He was very personable and friendly. The pistol range was only about 10 yard but have a variety of steel you could shoot or you could place your own paper targets. The rifle range had both 100 and 200 yards available. Imagine the excitement of ringing steel for the first time at 200 yards! Both were open air but had a covered awning the helped block the sun but also amplifies even the intermediate caliber rifles.
Clubhouse
I can’t say much about this but that it certainly looks comfortable and there is always a game on the television on the weekends.
Fossil Pointe is definitely a place I would recommend to others. My only complaint is that it is a good hour from DFW but worth the drive!

Fossil pointe told us that we could shoot at there range today until 4 PM so we arrived at 2:45 to shoot after making the hour drive out they told us we can’t shoot today because they were hosting a wedding. However the calendar on their website showed no events going on today. Absolutely nothing. It’s the only reason we picked this weekend to come out and shoot. Oh Ya it was for a bachelor party I should probably mention that. I will never be back out to this shooting club or advise anyone else to do the same, these people showed no empathy for paying customers that drove all the way out to Decatur. I can’t attest to the quality of the course but I wouldn’t give it a chance if I got to shoot for free so if you really want to make the drive call ahead of time and be very specific about what you want to do and when you want to do it.
