Hey everybody
I am an IDPA member in California. Prado Olympic Shooting Park to be exact. Lately my wife and I have been thinking about moving to San Antonio Texas. The first thing i wanted to know of course, is there an IDPA shooting range?
Two, I'm in the IT field (computers) and was wondering if theres any need for guys like me out there? I will never be able to afford buying a house in California, so I'm looking at Texas. The prices are just right. Any advice out there?

IDPA no clue, I'd like to get into that but lack of free time really hurts. For an IT job Valero would be the first place I'd look. Homes are still going at a fairly reasonable price, I still see signs up that advertise homes from the 90's

The Bullet Hole.

Welcome from San Antonio! The Bullet Hole Shooting range- the only one I go to is USPSA and AASA steel plate. They are great out there. Homes here are from $80's to $300+. As far as IT jobs, ATT head quarters is here as well as Valero oil. We also have a couple of credit unions with HQ here as well. Dell has HQ just up the road at Round Rock, Texas outside of Austin. PM me if you want more info about the area.

I plan on visiting San Antonio in June. Just to check it out, houses, schools, Little Leagues, and of course The Bullet Hole.

Thanks Fellas!

Just don't tell any of your friends. We don't want the Texas housing market to end up like the one in Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado.
