Hi All,

Looks like there are several people here from Houston. I live on the west side of town and was wondering about places to shoot.

I've been to the American Shooting Center in George Bush park, but am looking for a different place.

Any suggestions?

there is a new place north of Brookshire called "the Impact Zone". havent been there, but talked to one of the owners friends and he said it was real laidback. they let you work on movement/fire, draw/fire ect. its also where the local IDPA meets.

Thanks for the input and the link. Checked out the map and it's a little bit of a hike, but really not too bad (something like 35 miles from my place).

 

[therooster]

yeah... i grew up south of brookshire, now i live at hw6 and 10 so its a little far for me too.

 

[Lumberjack98]

Your close to me. I'm out towards 1093 and Grand Parkway.

sorry didnt get back to you sooner, been gone a couple of days. i go to Bailey's House of Guns, a little ways off Almeda and the Beltway, close to the Humane Society building. its a "mom-n-pop" shop, but its a good outdoor range, have a USPSA/ rapid fire range, 25 yard shotgun/pistol range, 100-yard range, and a clay pigeon range. went just yesterday, enjoyed myself. cheap, too, $6 per gun (everybody you can cram in your truck can shoot your gun, as long as its paid for), 16 bucks for the clay range, but thats with a box of clays, and the $6 gun charge is included. they also have CHL classes there.

Went to Top Gun yesterday. The have eliminated a lot of their ammo restrictions. Brought and shot my own UMC yellow box.

 

[PoSSoM]

Thats good to hear.

They recently went under new management and at that time I was told they were going to be restricting the ammo shot.

Still a little expensive for my taste. I do believe LEO shoots half price there though.

I will definately need to check out Bailey's. Shooting in dark indoor ranges gets old.

 

[damonk]

No kidding, i used to go to Marksman in Pasadena, and it does get old, pay per person (not per gun), and its always loud, crowded. I like being outdoors.

 

[PoSSoM]

Im heading to Bailey's this weekend.

Anyone else up for a shooting party? At 6 per gun we can fondle each others.

 

[XD_Dan]

I know what has been written about indoor ranges, but here's two other places to consider...
Texas Shooters Range
Lone Oak Indoor Pistol Range

The first one is really close to Lumberjack and rooster

 

[Lumberjack98]

PoSSoM - Bailey's this weekend sounds good.

Let me know what time y'all want to meet. I'll probably have to work this weekend, but I can probably work around a shoot.

I don't have an XD yet, but would love the opportunity to try one out. I'll bring my Beretta 96 and S&W 908.

Sounds fun. Hopefully we can get several people to join.

 

[damonk]

if its Saturday morning, im up for it. i can try to shoot for Sunday(pun not intended) whats good for everybody?

 

[Lumberjack98]

Anyone else up for a shoot this weekend?

 

[Brickboy240]

I am shooting Friday afternoon/early evening at Pasadena Gun Center. Its an OK range, but its close to my office and convenient. Besides, I don't have time to shoot on Saturday, otherwise I'd join you guys.

I'll be shooting my XD-40, Belgian Hi-Power and might even bring the 1918 WWI German Luger along. Look for a blue Volvo 240 outside...thats me.

(I might let you try out the Luger...if you ask)

[PoSSoM]

Bump!

I'm not a morning person but... what time is good?

I am planning on going and probably bringing my father and a friend with a shotgun so might get some skeet in.

 

[damonk]

sorry guys, im out, store manager wont let me out to play...

 

[Lumberjack98]

PoSSuM - I'm a morning person, but can work around that. Slight possibility of having to work this weekend, but won't know until tomorrow.

therooster, one-eyed-fatman, either of y'all coming?
