I'll answer you questions about this range by pasting in something I posted in another forum some time back. We're currently looking to increase membership. More info
here.
I've been a member of Bayou Rifles for ten years or so and have done my shooting at their ranges exclusively for all practical purposes. There have been some ups and downs but things seem to be getting better all the time lately. On Sept 4 we reopened the remodeled Juliff range with a new 600 and 1000 yard high power range. I went out and looked it over this weekend and all I can say is that 1000 yards is a real long shot. This range is near Pearland. You can shoot most anything here and there are ranges for most any purpose. It's unsupervised and open any day.
The Addicks range is off Eldridge and just north of I-10. Most pistols and muzzle loaders up to 50 cal and rimfire rifles can be used here. No centerfire rifles are allowed. There are four ranges...rifle silhouette, pistol bullseye, casual pistol, and pistol silhouette. This range is open on Friday afternoons, all day Saturday, Sunday, and most holidays when we have a volunteer Range Safety Officer on duty as required by the Corps of Engineers. Volunteer RSOs (like me) can shoot there any time as a perk for spending half a day on duty every couple of months. The club provides and pays for training necessary to get the NRA RSO certs. The addicks range is in the Addicks Resoirvoir and does flood occasionally.
Both ranges are nice well kept properties with locked gates. It's not unusual to be alone or nearly alone there.
Bayou Rifles is mostly run by serious competitive shooters. I'm just a plinker and a person who wants to stay competent with my CCW and get along with them just fine. I like the fact that I frequently go to a range and have it to myself.
Bayou Rifles was established in 1936. The ranges are available only to members and their guests. Membership requires a background check and orientation class. Annual dues are $140 and there is a first time sign up fee of about that much. I shot at ASC for a few years but have been there only once since joining Bayou Rifles
