About Us
Griffith Switch Range was established in 2005 with a clear mission: to provide a safe, accessible place for Texans to train and grow in their knowledge of firearms. Our range operates with a commitment to professionalism and education, offering support to first-time shooters and experienced marksmen alike.
What makes us different? We prioritize practical instruction, flexible scheduling, and affordability. Our instructors are focused on helping students understand the law, improve their accuracy, and carry responsibly. Many LTC classes today are rushed or impersonal — we take the time to ensure you leave feeling prepared and confident.
We believe every Texan deserves access to quality firearms training and range time, without having to deal with the red tape and inflated prices found at large corporate ranges. That's why we keep things simple, clear, and fair.
Personalized, Law-Focused Instruction
We take the time to explain legal responsibilities and situational awareness — not just how to shoot. Every class is tailored to real-world application and personal improvement.
Affordable, Accessible Range Time
No inflated fees or hidden charges — just fair pricing and flexible options for shooters of all experience levels. Train at your pace, on your terms.
