I find myself mainly shooting in the desert not too far from my house. This saves me a drive across town to the range and lets me do spur of the moment plinking when I have some free time.

I like it because I can set up targets at various distances and engage them as fast as I want. I can plink to my hearts content, and I don't need to worry about the range going cold just as I hit "the zone."

Occasionally I'll head over to the Ft. Bliss Rod and Gun Club when I want a more formal shooting environment or want to shoot clay pigeons.

When I'm in Houston, I shoot at ASC but one of the ROs has an attitude that has me reluctant to return.

When I'm in Waco I go to Chandlers Gun Range (Valley Mills/China Spring area), the atmosphere there is better than any gun range I've been to, and with my membership I can buy guns at whatever their cost is plus shipping & tax.

usually at The Bullet Trap, as it's on my way home from work, and it's never crowded when I go in (usually afternoons after work)

I've only shot at the Garland Public Shooting Range. I'll have to give the Bullet Trap a try soon. I need to get the range more often.

ASC in Houston... It's close and I just got a membership there. Been shooting there for a while, but my son wanted to start going, so i joined.

Top Gun Range (Houston), Sportsman's Outlet (Humble) and the occasional visit to 59 Gun Range (Houston). All are along my path from home to work.

Used to visit Carter's Country in Spring several years ago, but got tired of spending so much time waiting for the next opportunity to change my target. Seems like I always walked onto the line as they were going hot, and would have to spend my first 30 minutes watching everyone else shoot.

Wow....people still have indoor ranges w/o automatic target systems?

Texas City Municipal shooting range for me....I visit others, but this is definitely my favorite. I will hopefully add PSC to my favorite list soon. I need to practice my holster work!

That range is Outdoor. But the benches and targets are numbered to keep people from shooting others targets (it still happens though).

American Shooting Centers (ASC) is the same way with cease fires every half hour on the Half hour. It's alright if you plan your trip. If I know I'm going to miss the next cease fire I'll stop and grab lunch or ammo on the way or if you're taking someone shooting for the first time it's a good time to review the rules and cover some of the rules specific to that range. Like ASC does allow you to touch any firearm during the cease fire not even to leave. And they have some other rules like not standing on the black top. And heaven forbid you try to barrow sand bags from the closed end of the 100yard to use on the 200-300yard.

Well it was DFW until Sunday. I hope they rebuild quickly.

Like Plink, mainly in the desert not too far from home. (Good rabbit country!) Occasionally we go up to Butterfield Range near Las Cruces when we're having a range day with my dad.

And, when I want to get out of the wind, the indoor range at the Community College is on my way home from the office.
