Shooting Ranges
Open to the public:
Bullz-I Sports provides public shooting ranges as well as a gun, hunting and shooting supply store all on one site. If you are in the market for a gun, you may purchase or rent it here and try it out immediately on the range. Few other gun stores allow you that option.
About 80% of our range customers are experienced shooters. They also accompany most of the remaining 20% who are not. If you are an unaccompanied, inexperienced shooter you must inform us before you enter the range. We will assign an experienced volunteer to assist you. If you don’t, we'll know soon enough and your stay with us will be brief. A volunteer is not the equivalent of a gun safety and handling class. Volunteers are experienced customers willing to assist and supervise those making a first gun purchase and wish to shoot it to see how it handles. If you are inexperienced and plan to shoot for any length of time, we suggest you bring an experienced shooter with you.
Our ranges are outdoors with covered shooter stations.
Age requirement:
The minimum age requirement for the range is 8 and children, by definition are inexperienced. They must be accompanied and supervised by an experienced adult at all times while on our premises. This includes all areas of the store, the property as well as the range. When your child shoots, you don't.
Hours of operation:
Our ranges are open 7 days a week from 9 AM to 5 PM. At times we may have to shut one down for maintenance or class instruction during these hours. In such cases we will give advanced notice when possible.
Skeet range discontinued:
We no longer offer skeet shooting at our site.
Shotgun range:
We do not allow shotguns on the rifle range. It is located at the extreme left end of the pistol range and primarily used to set shot patterns at approximately 27 yards. It has its own backstop and no shotshells are to be fired on the pistol backstops. You must notify the staff if you intend to use this range since there is only one station available.
Revolvers firing the 410 shotshell must be approved before firing on the pistol backstop.
Fees:
Adults pay $10.00 for 2 hours on any and all ranges. An all-day pass is $20.00. Children between the ages of 8 and 13 are half price.
If you shoot frequently, you may want to consider an annual membership for a fee of $200.00. Immediate family members may be added for $180.00 each. This allows the member unlimited access to all ranges as well as the 500 yard range.
Shooting supplies:
Unless you are attending a class, we do not require any shooting supply purchases from us to use the range other than the range fee. However, we do stock everything you’ll need in shooting supplies.

Gun Rentals
There aren't many places you can try it before you buy it but you can do that here. Comfort level is very important, especially with hand guns and you just can't get that by feel alone. You have to shoot to complete the experience.
We offer you the opportunity to "test drive" your choice of many of our guns in stock. Here's how it works:
Rent the gun for $15.00. Pay the minimum range fee on $10.00, buy the appropriate ammo and go shoot. If it doesn't suit your need, or for any reason you don't feel comfortable with it in action, all you have done is spent a little money and had some fun. You may have saved quite a bit of money knowing that the gun that had a good feel to it when you held it in that big box store doesn't feel so good to you when you fire it. In other words, you don't take a hit on the purchase when you trade it in for something you will actually shoot.
However, if that gun you rented from us is a keeper, then buy it. Since it will be your gun, there is no reason to charge you to rent it. And any gun purchased at our store comes with a 2 hour range pass so the rental and range fees are deducted from your purchase price.
So what could be more risk free in making a gun purchase, especially if you're a first time buyer or unfamiliar with a new manufacturer?

The Gun Grab
Tell Us What You Know
While the ammo shortage continues, we have been able to obtain a little more stock than has been available in the past 6 months. This includes a large stock of reloading supplies and materials. We still cannot get everything we order. It comes in sporadically. However, the DHS continues to requisition ammo over and above the 2 billion rounds it has already acquired. Our research has been thorough enough to where we can say the data seems purposely confusing.
Some of you have tipped us off to sources that we've followed up. Unfortunately, much of this information cannot be confirmed independently. Without that extra boost of credibility, we cannot publish some of the information we've received. We need independent confirmation from additional reliable sources. Generally speaking, that information fits the pattern of what we do know.
And what we do know is that the official DHS reason for the purchase of such an enormous amount of ammunition this past year is absolutely ridiculous. They claim that this ammunition is for training purposes and the purchases of such large quantities is to save money. However, they are not buying ball ammunition. They are buying hollow points.
While the average cop show may include dozens of shootouts, the average real cop rarely, if ever fires his weapon in the line of duty. A box of 25 hollow points ought to last an average, armed officer an entire career. DHS seems to be directing their reasoning to cop show consumers rather than informed gun owners.
But ridiculous answers to alarming actions are standard for this administration. The Benghazi excuse that is now being unraveled in Congress is just the latest bizarre and blatant lie we have been told. The major news outlets are also suspect, not only in the accuracy of what they report, but more importantly in what they chose not to report. This is especially true for the 2nd Amendment issue where many news outlets appear to be advocates for gun control.
We get a lot of information from the NRA and The Blaze as well as reliable blogs and youtube videos. But so can you. However, the purpose of The Gun Grab section is to condense the important information from all sources to present to our customers. We need verifiable information from you.
We have Alabama residents working on information from their Senators and Congressmen. I have been in contact with our Senators and Congressman Palazzo in Mississippi. We are still waiting for replies after two months. Congressman Palazzo's office responded saying that DHS is telling him what it is telling everyone else about their ammo purchases. That's not good enough. A congressman is not everyone else.
We urge you to contact these representatives and get real answers. Then report them to us for follow-up.
Excellent sources are law enforcement, ammo manufacturer's reps and other industry insiders which you may know or know of that can shed some light on the gun grab. Most of these sources will wish to remain anonymous and that is acceptable so long as you ask where to look to confirm the information. I cannot report hearsay without back-up confirmation.
Currently, the gun grab is still on-going in spite of the recent set backs in Congress. The issue is diluted among the other scandals and freedom grabs by the current administration. The corruption is obvious. The avenues to gun restriction or confiscation are many, from ObamaCare to state and city laws. A well regulated armed militia, which is nothing more than citizens united to maintain their freedom, is necessary for the security of a free state. That is the essence of the 2nd Amendment. We have already allowed some states and localities to disarm their citizens. The current atmosphere is exactly why we have that Amendment. Tyranny feels emboldened when its opposition is weakened. That is what appears to be happening now.
If we had a right to drive a vehicle and the oligarchy objected, what avenue would they seek to circumvent that right without appearing to do so? Well, they might buy up all the tires. Your right to drive a vehicle is not infringed. But you would not get far on the rims.
Help us keep you informed. Contact me with any verifiable information pertaining to the gun grab.
U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe and Congressman Frank Lucas each introduced the Ammunition Management for More Obtainability Act of 2013.
The legislation would require the Government Accountability Office to conduct a report on the purchasing of ammunition by federal agencies, except the Department of Defense, and its effect on the supply of ammunition available to the public. The AMMO Act would restrict agencies from obtaining additional ammunition for a six-month period if current agency stockpiles are higher than its monthly averages prior to the Obama Administration.
"President Obama has been adamant about curbing law-abiding Americans’ access and opportunities to exercise their Second Amendment rights," said Inhofe. "One way the Obama Administration is able to do this is by limiting what’s available in the market with federal agencies purchasing unnecessary stockpiles of ammunition. As the public learned in a House committee hearing this week, the Department of Homeland Security has two years worth of ammo on hand and allots nearly 1,000 more rounds of ammunition for DHS officers than is used on average by our Army officers. The AMMO Act of 2013 will enforce transparency and accountability of federal agencies’ ammunition supply while also protecting law-abiding citizens access to these resources.”
“After hearing from my constituents about the shortage of ammunition in Oklahoma and the Department of Homeland Security’s profligate purchases of ammunition,” said Lucas. “We have introduced the AMMO Act of 2013 to curtail these purchases so Americans can exercise their Second Amendment rights without being encumbered by the federal government. I was surprised to find out the DHS has the right to buy up to 750 million rounds of ammunition over the next five years, while it already has two years worth of ammo already. This is an issue that must be addressed, and I am pleased this legislation provides us the opportunity to do so.”

Reps challenge DHS ammo buys, say agency using 1,000 more rounds per person than Army
Published April 26, 2013

Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz said Thursday that the Department of Homeland Security is using roughly 1,000 rounds of ammunition more per person than the U.S. Army, as he and other lawmakers sharply questioned DHS officials on their "massive" bullet buys.
"It is entirely ... inexplicable why the Department of Homeland Security needs so much ammunition," Chaffetz, R-Utah, said at a hearing.
The hearing itself was unusual, as questions about the department's ammunition purchases until recently had bubbled largely under the radar -- on blogs and in the occasional news article. But as the Department of Homeland Security found itself publicly defending the purchases, lawmakers gradually showed more interest in the issue.
Democratic Rep. John Tierney, D-Mass., at the opening of the hearing, ridiculed the concerns as "conspiracy theories" which have "no place" in the committee room.
But Republicans said the purchases raise "serious" questions about waste and accountability.
Chaffetz, who chairs one of the House oversight subcommittees holding the hearing Thursday, revealed that the department currently has more than 260 million rounds in stock. He said the department bought more than 103 million rounds in 2012 and used 116 million that same year -- among roughly 70,000 agents.
Comparing that with the small-arms purchases procured by the U.S. Army, he said the DHS is churning through between 1,300 and 1,600 rounds per officer, while the U.S. Army goes through roughly 350 rounds per soldier.
He noted that is "roughly 1,000 rounds more per person."
"Their officers use what seems to be an exorbitant amount of ammunition," he said.
Nick Nayak, chief procurement officer for the Department of Homeland Security, did not challenge Chaffetz's numbers.
However, Nayak sought to counter what he described as several misconceptions about the bullet buys.
Despite reports that the department was trying to buy up to 1.6 billion rounds over five years, he said that is not true. He later clarified that the number is closer to 750 million.
He said the department, on average, buys roughly 100 million rounds per year.
He also said claims that the department is stockpiling ammo are "simply not true." Further, he countered claims that the purchases are helping create broader ammunition shortages in the U.S.
The department has long said it needs the bullets for agents in training and on duty, and buys in bulk to save money.
While Democrats likened concerns about the purchases to conspiracy theories, Republicans raised concern about the sheer cost of the ammunition.
"This is not about conspiracy theories, this is about good government," Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said.
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., who chairs the full Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said he suspects rounds are being stockpiled, and then either "disposed of," passed to non-federal agencies, or shot "indiscriminately."
If that is the case, he said, "then shame on you."
Women and Guns: Why Female Gun Ownership Is Rising and Why Many Are Taking Notice
By Erica Ritz | The Blaze – 4/7/13
Many people assume that "every shooter in the United States is a 50-year-old white guy," quips Natalie Foster of the website "The Girl's Guide to Guns."
Many people are wrong.
The number of women who owned guns spiked to 23% in 2011, compared to 13% in a 2005 Gallup poll. While the organization hasn't released updated statistics yet, most think the rates will continue to rise.
But who are these women, and why are they choosing to arm themselves?

Self-Defense and Independence
The average woman is not as strong as the average man. In a hand-to-hand struggle, even if she goes to the gym five times a week, the woman is probably going to lose.
Unless she has a gun, and knows how to use it.
"There's a famous quote...[that] goes, 'God made men, but Sam Colt made [them] equal,'" Jason Hanson, a former CIA Officer and the author of "The Covert Guide to Concealed Carry," told TheBlaze. "A great example of this is when a few months back, [an] 18-year girl in Oklahoma used a shotgun to stop a home intruder who had a knife. The bottom line is, a gun is without a doubt the best way for a woman to defend herself in a worst-case scenario."
Kirsten C. Tynan, who describes herself as a "pro-self defense feminist," added in an email:
Whether I am in a high crime area, car camping alone on a road trip, or hiking solo in bear country, carrying a firearm gives me another tool to ensure my own safety without having to depend on someone else. It opens up more opportunities for me because I don't feel I have to have a partner by my side for my protection.
And Foster of "A Girl's Guide to Guns" summarizes the mentality of "the emerging female shooter":
...Shooting gives us a sense of equality, a sense of safety, a sense of being in control of ourselves. That sense of control is empowering, and is something we should seek in other aspects of our life. This, along with the "tough woman" image of shooting guns, gives us a more positive self-image, which is a powerful thing.
...Since I started shooting I've taken up weight-lifting and started studying nutrition and trying to eat right. It has made a huge difference in my self-esteem and helped me to realize the extent of control I have over myself, much as shooting does. I would encourage every woman shooter not to stop there, but to continue to step outside of her comfort zone and find other activities that energize and empower her to be the best she can.
But why now? It makes sense that more women seek to be individually armed as they become increasingly independent, but the number of female shooters has skyrocketed within just the past decade.
There isn't recent comprehensive polling data on the motivations behind the spike, but a number of experts believe current events are also a factor. The foundering economy and proposed gun control legislation are referenced, in particular.
Hanson told TheBlaze: "In the past, it would be a lot of wives with their husbands, but now a lot of single women are buying guns and taking training. Like many things, this uptick occurred as the economy soured over the last few years."
And a recent article written by Genie Jennings, the contributing editor of the long-running "Women and Guns" magazine, sought to rally women in support of gun ownership in response to proposed legislation.
She urged:
There is much we can do. First, if you are not a member, join! Join your local gun club; join national organizations: Second Amendment Foundation (the folks who brought you Heller and McDonald), Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, Gun Owners of America, National Rifle Association; join your state gun protection group, and, if you can, join those in other states, such as Illinois State Rifle Association.
Go public. Let your friends and coworkers know you are a gunowner. There is nothing belligerent about owning firearms. Rather, for years I have been advocating that women show that they own and use guns, because women are not threatening. It softens the face of the gunowner to the general public when they learn that the sweet little old ladies and the charming young women are part of that group that the media tries so hard to demonize.
Use social media. You can find lots of people and sites on Facebook (and other newer cooler places, I am sure). Share the information with your public friends. If you need a start go to me on Facebook and poach. (Caution: not all my friends, even my political friends, are gunnies. But I "like" many good gun sites.)
On top of current events and the growing need women feel to protect themselves, the gun industry has aggressively pursued the millions of new customers women represent. From girly pink products to shooting groups for women only, it's now easier than ever for women to get involved.
"The industry is really letting us have a lot of fun with our firearms, and women are owning it in a really cool way," Foster said on ABC Nightline News.
Destinee of the Special Operations Forces Situation Report (she does not use a full name) told TheBlaze about a number of specific firearms geared toward women, including Ruger's "polymer framed .380 pistol, the LC380." Not only that, she said, but at SHOT Show 2013 -- between the women's roundtable discussion and the featured female speakers -- it became clear that "gun manufacturers are trying to find the angle in their product line that will turn a predominately male-focused industry toward females with options so far including smaller sizes, color options, and elements that reduce user fatigue."
The Flashbang bra holster, in particular, seems to be a popular item. It was even featured on an episode of NCIS: LA.
