Yessir, the family's been here since '86-ish.

Ever been to the Mission del Paso indoor range?

Lately I have been shooting at Hot Wells on the south side feeder of Hwy 290 just east of Skinner Rd. That's just because it's on my way home from work. I am in search of a good range to shoot at in the Tomball area. Carter's Country on Treachwig is o.k., but too many people that don't know how to handle a gun. For those that want to rent a few different guns before spending the money on buying one, I recommend Texas Shooters. Their site seems to be down, but here is a map to their location on Witte Rd. West of Houston.

There's a place about 15 minutes north of Bellville I go to. $50.00 a year to join. Bout a 50 minute drive for me but I like it up there.

Anyone been there recently? (Like in the last week or two)

They were closed "Permanently" last time drove by there. And, the signs had changed to Memorial Shooting Range (or Memorial something or other). Although, when I was home last I noticed a little sign on the side of the road in my neighborhood advertising it, so maybe they were just remodeling, change of ownership or something. I've never shot there; cigarette smoke annoys the heck out of me. The few times I’ve been in there, it was like getting hit with pepper spray.

Edit: I did some browsing and found it's now "Memorial Oaks Shooting Club" I haven't been able to find a website for them yet, I did find an IDPA club that meets there on some tuesdays. I'll have to check 'em out next time I'm in Houston. Here's the PDO info on them

one eyed fatman,

Please say more about the place near Bellville. Is it pistol only or rifle too? What ranges (distances) do they have? Is it a member club (sounds like it - $50 to join - but that is cheap if it is a safe facility).

Do you know the name of the club, and do they have a web site or any other way to get more information?

I still like Bayou Rifles - the Juliff range is great, and has ranges from 15 to 1,000 yards - but Bellville is closer to where I live.

Thanks in advance for any info you provide.

Regards,
Andrew

We held one of our monthly matches there about a month ago.
As far as I know....they had no guns to rent.

Our match was moved to Memorial Oaks indoor range due to inclement weather (we usually hold matches outdoors).

The place was OK. I spoke with one of the owners (who also teaches self-defense classes, CHL, and body guard training there). He said they are still in the process of remodeling, and have big plans for the place. The range is wide, with several bays, and about 15 yds deep. The targets are held on overhead trolleys with the old-school style hand-crank to run them in and out. I will give the place a solid recommendation when they get the ventilation system worked out. When we were there, the ventilation system wasn't working at all. I'm sure you can imagine what that would be like with 22 shooters and 100+ rounds each.

I would recommend you call before you haul to see if they have the air filters up and running yet.

No way dude. This a a top secret organzation. Only the good the bad and the ugly can be accepted as members there. But for 19.95 I'll send you the secret handshake and rules of engagement. But wait! If you call now I'll include free targets and a lifetime membership to Joe's bar and grill.

Or I could just tell you who to contact. Secret PM sent.

I used to shoot at Backwoods Trap just N. of Frisco & Little Elm on Hwy 380. Went there yesterday and it had been sold to a developer. The last day open was Saturday, 15th of April. I'm really gonna miss that place since it"s only 10 minutes from my house.

Now it will be Collin County Gun Range in McKinney or The Bullet Trap in Plano. Shot at C.C.G. R. with Reysc and Leo ( Reysc's bro. in law that he bounced a ricochet off his head) yesterday. Had a great time.

TERRELL RIFLE AND PISTOL CLUB

http://www.tr-pc.com/

Private club but well worth the drive. 25,50,100,200 yard range with a clubhouse. Skeet and trap as well.

Welcome to the forum. See this is your 1st post. Give us one in the General Gun Section under Introduce yourself. YOu will get a lot of welcomes & we will get acquainted faster. Welcome aboard.

Winchester Gallery in east Fort Worth.
The Shooters Club in north/central Fort Worth.
Elk Castle Range in west Fort Worth.
On Target in Benbrook (south west Fort Worth).

Looks like you have a range for whichever part of FW you happen to be.

I'm in the mid-cities also. I live in Arlington, work in Fort Worth.

On my lunch hour, I head to Alpine for shotgun stuff. Usually will buy a box of clays and hit the practice fields. For pistols, I head up to Shooter's Club indoor, just north of downtown FW.

Weekends, I head to TDSA. It's a private shooting range 20 minutes south of Dallas. It takes me 45 minutes to get there, but it's a great place to run drills.
Carbine, shotguns, and pistols.
