Re: In Houston: can someone convert a portion of their garage as a PRIVATE indoor shooting lane?
There was an old story I saw some time back about a big warehouse near Downtown Houston. The owner was into bench rest shooting and he had several hundred yards of indoor space to shoot with no wind. I think even at night, they had to be careful as cops might come by about the noise. I think it was just something he occasionally did by himself or with a small number of invited guests but it not legal. If memory serves, it was back in the 80's.

Maybe contact a lawyer to help you navigate/investigate any possible legal loopholes/hurdles you need to overcome or if its even possible to do legally?

Ready range is pretty sweet... but looks super expensive!
Thank the Lord that I live out of town and can shoot out back!

I recently saw a company that built premade slide in garage ranges. Think they called them READY RANGE. They didnt advertise price though. (I expect because that would scare everyone away.)

Houston's city ordinances: https://library.municode.com/tx/houston ... ordinances
I'm not in Houston, but my small town doesn't allow >300 fps within 1000 yds of a residence.
Which is pretty lame, because even a Red Ryder BB gun potentially exceeds that @ 350 fps.
Thanks,
Scott

One article I read about this Ready Range stated Base price is $132,000 and they went up quickly from there...
And the Main showcase video for their 40ft'er had two Super cars and two expensive motorcycles as part of the shoot..
Im thinking these ready ranges are for those that drop $200k on a long weekend in Spain on a whim,
not folks that take a second mortgage to due home upgrades.

Don't forget the short-skirted supermodel. I agree, these aren't intended for the regular Joe wanting a place to shoot. They are for the insecure wealthy dude looking to show off how much money he has and is willing to waste.E.Marquez wrote:One article I read about this Ready Range stated Base price is $132,000 and they went up quickly from there...

I wouldn't mind giving that whole "wealthy dude looking to show off how much money he has and is willing to waste", thing a try. This is why the Good Lord, doesn't allow me to win the lottery.mojo84 wrote:Don't forget the short-skirted supermodel. I agree, these aren't intended for the regular Joe wanting a place to shoot.

Well, if you want to keep the garage, you could buy a mobile range that you park in your driveway. That way you could take it to work for a lunch shoot too.jmra wrote:Forget the ready range, I’d love to have the garage.RPBrown wrote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okq6VIckNQY
