About Coyote Arms Shooting Center
Coyote Arms Shooting Center stands as one of South Texas’s premier shooting destinations, offering a comprehensive range of facilities and services designed to accommodate shooters of all skill levels and backgrounds. Located in Edinburg at 8600 Big Five Road, this modern facility has earned a solid reputation among both casual shooters and competitive marksmen throughout the Rio Grande Valley. With a 4.4-star rating from over 320 reviews, the center reflects strong community appreciation for its diverse offerings and professional operations.
The facility boasts an impressive array of shooting ranges and disciplines. Visitors have access to dedicated pistol ranges, precision rifle ranges stretching to 100 yards, a well-maintained trap field, clay shooting areas for skeet and sporting clays, and a dedicated archery range. This versatility means shooters can work on anything from handgun fundamentals to long-range rifle precision and clay target techniques without leaving the property. The outdoor setup provides spacious, safe shooting bays that prevent overcrowding and allow shooters to focus on their practice without feeling rushed or pressured.
Coyote Arms distinguishes itself through its commitment to accessibility and community engagement. The facility requires no membership for basic shooting - visitors can simply pay a $25 day pass and begin their session. However, annual memberships ranging from $125 to $250 offer convenient access for regular shooters, plus special discounted rates for law enforcement, veterans, and first responders, reflecting the facility’s appreciation for those who serve. The center actively hosts competitive events including ‘Nite Owl Run N Gun’ matches, defensive pistol competitions, carbine matches, 2-gun events, and the distinctive ‘Predator Challenge,’ a 24-hour hunting event held each March that draws participants from across the region.
Training and professional development are core to the Coyote Arms mission. The facility partners with Operation Shield TX to offer comprehensive licensing and safety courses, including Texas License to Carry classes and home defense instruction. Beyond shooting, the center provides FFL transfer services, NFA/SOT paperwork handling, and premium Cerakote firearm customization services. The staff consistently receives praise for their professionalism, friendliness, and willingness to help shooters of all experience levels get comfortable with range safety protocols and operational procedures. Whether it’s a first-time visitor needing range orientation or an experienced competitor preparing for an event, the Coyote Arms team creates an welcoming environment while maintaining the safety standards essential to responsible shooting.
