Thanks for the info on the building. Wanted something a little closer to Tomball, but then again that would be closer to the house. Just dread the thought of 1488 traffic every day! Im looking at a few places off 2978 about half way between Tomball and 1488, on two on 249 just north of Tomball.

As far as area goes, I am looking for something just north of Tomball 249 or 2978. Price and zoneing are going to be major factors But probally something close to Hardin Store Road or that general area. I have been talking to several friends that shoot a lot about prices and will probally offer discounted monthly and yearly memberships. I want this to be a good deal for everyone but at the same time I dont have a trust fund to live off so I do have to make a little profit.

I have shot at several places that want you to shoot so slow that I would have been faster with a muzzle loader. It was sad. Sportsmans was great but it is almost a hour drive. Shilo has a nice setup but if you dont shoot a glock the guys behind the counter talked trash the two times I went. Shooters Station is also another great place but still 30 to 45 minute drive. I grew up and live in the area and want somewhere nice for people to go shoot at a reasonable price. Carters has gotten out of sight and I have almost been shot twice by idiots on the pistol range by with a short barrel shotgun. And nothing against the Marines (God bless them) but the last range officer that I say at carters was a cook in the Marines.

I would have no problem with double tap or rapid fire. Unless you practice it 1 you will never be any good at it and 2 will not be able to do it if you need it.

I dont consider "double tap" anything special. Specail use. Group renting one side, CHL & instructional / traning classes. Im probally not going to go as far as allowing full auto. But it would be considered if there would be enought busisness. As far as hours goes. Im still thinking about that. Probally stay open maybe to 7:30 or 8. That is the one thing that will be tough. Im a single dad of a 3 years old and he comes first. But more than likley It will be somethign like 9 or 10 am to around 8 pm.

Will definatly have a two range setup. One for general use and another for LE / Competitions / and special use. I see no reason that we wouldnt be able to accomadate shotguns. I plan on it being able to handle 223/5.56 rounds so buck shot and slugs should be no problem.

My Dad and I are looking into opening an indoor range in the Tomball / Magnolia area, and would like some feedback from anyone, espically from those in the area. We have been thinking about this for a few years and have decided to finally pull the trigger. And advise or suggestions would be a great help.
