Shooters in Houston area.

Every weekend I go to the range and run a couple of hundred rounds through my .45 and sometime I also go on over to the trap range and shoot a couple of rounds ( 25 clays ) of trap. Interestingly while there are always plenty of people out there I rarely see the same people twice. So I was wondering if there are any here who live in my area who would be interested in making the acquaintance of other members of the “TFL” board and perhaps establishing a semi regular time at the range. Common interest and all that stuff. The nearest range to me is in the Spring area just north of Houston called Carter Country. Hey for all I know there are already TFL people out there. Maybe I should put a sign on my bag “TFL” so others could recognize me.
 
When I shoot pistols (9mm, .45, .22, .357) which I mainly do, I go to an indoor range close to me. (Top Gun) I usually just spend an hour in there once a week or two and finish off a couple of boxes of ammo, on maybe two of my pistols (mainly my .45).

When I shoot rifles, I usually go to the Addicks firing range.
They also have a trap and skeet range, but have never shot there.

Wouldn't have a problem meeting some time though.

Hmmm, I live in the Woodlands, I have heard of Top Gun and in fact one of the guys where I work goes there. I have as yet not made the drive in to go there.
 
I can't afford Top Gun very often, and I don't particularly like indoor ranges. I go to Hot Wells outdoor range on 290 just past Barker-Cypress. Maybe I'll just get a "Glockamolie" shirt, since that's who I am on TFL and THR. :)

Its not too bad.
I like it (and indoor ranges) when you only have an hour or two to shoot. No down time on the range with the electric targets.
I wouldn't mind trying some place new one time, if a group of us got together.
 
Top Gun and Marksman

I shoot defensive pistol shooting on Thurdays at Top Gun and regular targets on the weekend at Marksman Range.
 
Me and the wife normally go to Marksman (8 bucks to shoot all you want for as long as you want) on Thursday. If anyone plans on going out there on a Thursday just give me a shout. 281*827*7026

my name is Mike in case you call.
 
It would probably help if we all knew where all of these places are.

There seems to be quite a few places and quite a few of us.
I usually go to Carter Country although I didn’t make this last weekend I will most certainly make it this coming weekend.

Since I come in from the west side of town, ASC is great for me. I would like to try several of the other ranges though. Is the Carter Country, the chain store with a range as well. I used to live at the corner of Kuykendahl and Louetta but never heard of that range. I used to go and shoot at the old Pasadena Gun Center years ago.

Carter country also has a store off of I-10 but the one on Treshwig is quite a bit bigger plus they have rifle and pistol range as well as trap and skeet.
 
There used to be an indoor pistol range off of Aldine Westfield close to Little York. George Foreman had a youth center at the corner of the street that it was on. It was a really good range because it was about 50 yards and it had an electric conveyer system for the target. You know, where you clip your target on the little thing and then push the button and it takes your target down range until you let go of the button. I haven’t been over there in years so I don’t even know if it’s still there. It was popular with police officers.
 
I'll be up for a shoot, but it will have to be after the first of the year.
I'm spending all my free time in the wood right now, looking for Bambi's father.
 
I wanna play too! I'm over by the space center and either go to the Pearland Shooting Club, Pasadena Gun Center, Marksman Range or Bailey's House of Guns.

I'm up for any though if there's gonna be a crowd having fun.

(I'm pretty under-impressed with Top Gun though. You have to be rich and put up with being treated like a rookie at shooting)
 
Well It looks like I may be going to Carter country Monday. It seems that me and my dad and my little brother and possibly my nephews are all off this week and so I think the plan is to all go to Carter Country. I’m not sure what time we will be there. One of the main problems with these kind of family group things is that you usually can’t get everyone to get their act together at the same time and very often the entire day is wasted putsing about waiting on this person or that person. If that doesn’t come together I will just go by myself some other day this week. I just went and bought a couple hundred rounds for my .45 and a hundred more for my .357 I’ll make some kind of sign for my bag that says TFL on it just in case any of you make it up there.
 
Wow that would be great. I went to Top Gun the other week and rented the Glock's I complained about in another post :-) It's a great place but you sure can run through some cash while your there.
I use American Shooting Center off of Hyw 6 / Westheimer in "George Bush Park" all the time for Rifle and occasionally for clays. It would be great to have TFL people meet out there.

Anyway, URL's for all: American Shootign Center & Top Gun Range
