I don't mean to offend anyone here but I have to tell you about this range. I have only been to it twice. I will probably not be going back. Well, not at least until they put some money into it.

Although I have no criticism about the safety aspects of that range I do take issue with the firing line on the handgun side.
At the far left side of the range, I believe at the seven yard target fixture, the supports at the bottom have reebar(sp) showing? Now I'll agree it's underneath the target, and for the people that shoot well it's not a problem. The day I was there it was closed off. I asked the lady there what's up with that and she agreed she felt it was unsafe and that's why she had closed it down. Actually, you couldn't have got to those positions anyway because to my left was about eight inches of water. I had a buddy who was out there that day and he said when he went to retrieve his target on the rifle side his ankles were deep in water?

We had a lot of rain them few previous days I'll grant you, but, c'mon guys put some money into the place so I don't have to drive all the way down to Texas City. Which I might add is an awesome range. Speaking of which....I was out there shooting about eleven years ago and a lightning bolt came down and hit a guy not one hundred yards from me in the top of his head. The bolt came out of his foot and blew his shoe right off. Amazingly the guy lived.

Anyway, I've heard there is a gun range closer to me in Pearland. I here you have to be a member or be introduced or something. Anyone know anything about that? I've also heard there's an indoor range up on highway 3 near Ellington field somewhere. Anyone been to that one? Input please.

Thanks in advance

Update....I've just found the info about Pearland.

There's an indoor pistol range on 2351 just west of 45. It's not too bad if it's close to you, but you will be swabbing powder from your nose for a week. No ventilation, but at least he restricts lead usage.

If your close to Leage City your close to PSC in Friendswood.

PSC is a membership range and we take all the money left over from taxes and insurance and spend it on the range and it shows.


Did I mention that I am membership director?

If membership is an option, I would highly recommend PSC. Great facilities and even greater people.

Thanks guys. I was leaning more to PSC as I think it would be closer. I would like a try of an indoor but don't relish the though of powder up the nose for a week, lol.

Be safe, Manc...

Mancunian,

If you're looking for an indoor range you might want to try Marksman Indoor Range in South Houston. The address is 507 Nebraska right off of Hiway 3 (Old Galveston Road). I took my CHL there & the range is well ventilated & the folks behind the counter are good people; no gun store ninjas in other words.

As far as outdoor ranges you really have to go some to beat PSC & Texas City.

Good shootin'.

Thanks Bones. I believe I'll give that one on Nebraska a shot (pun intended) when I get a chance. I'll keep y'all posted....oooh, another pun, lol.

As previously said, Marksman and PSC are nice ranges.

You may want to check out Pasadena Gun Center also.

Personally, I think the owners of the League City range are just waiting for developers to buy them out.

Many of us were at the Pearland Sportsmans Club in Friendswood for CHL day. It's really a nice range--very well kept. It offers a lot too.
If I lived in that area, I'd join.

But once a month its worth the drive for the IDPA day on the fourth Saturday of the month, right?

I'll do my best to make it.

I try to drive once a month to Conroe to shoot IDPA there, and also Eastex almost every week. You can say I'm everywhere. lol. Once a month to PSC isn't bad.

Heck, I drive further than that for coffee every week......Defensive skills are worth more than the price of a cup of coffee!

I live just a couple miles south of you in Highlands and make the drive to PSC every month I have the 4th Saturday free. You need to drive up to Thunder on the 2nd Saturday as well Almost exactly same time to travel.

I would offer to carpool but ...
