Re: Any Austin Rifle Club members?

I've been a member for 15 years. For the price it can't be beat.

Pros:
All outdoor ranges, no indoor lead breathing and magnum concussion reflection.
11 different ranges, from 17 yards to 200 yards.
You can draw from the holster, no time limit between shots.
Ranges are open sunrise to 30 min before sunset, 365 days. (unless there is a special event)
IDPA, USPSA, Benchrest, Silhouette, Service Rifle and Bullseye Pistol matches regularly.
Video surveillance and electronic key card access.
Club has been in existence in one form or another since around 1910.

Cons:
You must bring your own targets and on some ranges target backers, stands and sticks.
You can't shoot on the move or setup stages in the action bays unless it is a match or scheduled practice with certified safety officers,
Only certain firearms can be shot on certain ranges. This is safety related and understandable but it means you must do a bit of range juggling.
The process to join the club is a bit involved and lengthy. ( I see this as a PRO because it keeps out the thugs and most of the dirt shooters.)

Come out and join.
