It was apparently owned by a "colorful" character and is no longer in business. I'm in San Antonio a couple of times a week - my best bet may be Bass Pro Shop. $10 per half hour, but $100/year. I don't know how hard it is to get range time though.

I'm not sure where you're talking about, but it sure isn't the Austin Rifle Club. There's no skeet or trap there. Perhaps you're thinking Capitol City Trap & Skeet Club? It's a few miles away but it not affiliated with the ARC.

The ARC has seen many changes recently, and it's an outstanding value, but you can't walk up to any range and shoot the way you want to (Sheesh...if we had that, we'd have loads of 20-somethings out there trying to play "curve the bullet" like in that awful movie "Wanted").

You stated that Bass Pro/San Antonio charges $10 for a HALF hour.

I shoot at the Bass Pro/Grapevine and they charge $10 for a FULL hour.
Plus, if there's no one waiting for the range, they let me shoot for as
long as I want, and have ammo!

Just checked my records, and the last time I shot there was October
2009, so it's possible they could have jacked up their rate since then.

Thats my retirement plan right there.

If you're a study of signs, you'll note their rules changed from "no rapid fire, one second per round" to "rapid fire on approval of range officer" recently. I haven't heard "Who's the Cowboy!" yelled in quite some time.

Near 290 somwewhere there's also this which you might strongly consider

OH yeah! Always forget about ARC. Have never been there, but that wouldn't be a bad drive at all from Dripping Springs.

Never been a big fan of indoor ranges. Inhaling all the lead/smoke/ect cant be good for you

Stand at the firing line and look down, to the side and behind you for all the stray bullet holes. I do not feel safe from other people's negligence there. It's a shame because it's indoors and 10 min away.

I have however heard Good things of the South location. But I have not been there.
