Shameless Plug

OK shameless plug here:

Looking for a place to shoot long distance in the Texas Hill Country--Kerrville, Fredericksburg, Bandera area.

Almost 29 years in the Military, wounded in Iraq, I'm a very disiplined shooter, always keeping safety first.

Don't know a lot of people in the area, moved here because of the Military/VA hospitals.

Would like 300 yards to 1000 yards, I have to use a wheelchair, but I have a 4x4 ATV type chair and I can haul it in a 4x4 truck so some rough terrain is OK.

I'm a member, and regularly shoot at the Bandera Gun Club, but the range is limited to 100 yards -- JM and crew run a great place....

Kerrville has a 300 yard range but that distance only opens about 1 x per month and I think it costs over $10.00 an hour....

I'm unable to travel far without assistance.

Need a place to spend time loading/testing ammo

Wiling to sign a release.

Thanks for any leads/help,

Andy
 
I don't know the Hill Country that well.

You might try to back into the information by doing an internet search for silluetta shooting clubs. They have 500 m ranges (and closer targets too).
 
I'm in Ohio so I can't help you with shooting in Texas.

You get to Ohio, different story.

I would like to take the opportunity to Thank You for your sacrifices for me and country.

And by the way, NOTHING shameless about your request. ;)
 
On the spelling.

There is a club somewhere in Freestone or Limestone county. I don't recall which. That's how they spell their club name. I know it's not the correct English spelling (silhouette) and I don't even think it's the right Spanish spelling. But they say the sport originated in Mexico and the club spells it the way they spell it.
 
The club I mentioned above is called the Heart of Texas Silluetta Association. Their range is a couple of miles northwest of Mexia. That's well east of Waco so it is probably out of your driving zone.

Their website is http://hotsa.org/.

You might contact them and ask what they know about long distance ranges because the members travel around Texas to compete.
 
FUBAR- You might try contacting Camp Bullis. Last time I was there, I read a placard that said the Sportsmans Range was open to folks with DOD-ID cards. You might check with them and see if your retired PIV card will get you on.

Edit- I think the 600 yd range has pits, which might not be the most user friendly.
 
I checked with a friend who does long range bench rest. Dietz has a 550 yard range. However:

1. It may not be wheelchair friendly given its configuration
2. You have to be a member of the sihouette club to use it.
