Has any body taken a renwal at Top Gun? In the next few months I will need to take a renwal class and not sure where to go yet. Right now Top Gun is the closest to me.

I took my orginal class at Texas Shooters Range, but not sure if they are still around or not. Website and numbers I have do not work for them any more.

I'm open for suggestions on where to go as I have a few months to figure it all all. I am pretty central in Houston, so I can go just around any where.

Thanks!

I just saw the PSC schedule...

They have a class for new licenses this next weekend...

I don't know if they'll do a renewal...I don't see why they wouldn't, if you ask real nicely...

David Swan is giving the class...

The details are in a word document linked to a post in the "Ranges" portion of the website here...

I hope that works out for you...

Thanks. I still have a few months before I can even do this, but I will keep PSC in mind. Do you have to be a member to take/renew classes there?

Preference is given to members, but as long as there is room in the class, non-members can attend. I don't know if there is a difference in the fee, but I don't believe so.

I did my last renewal at Top Gun and it went fine - instructor was good - but they made us buy "no-lead" ammo there; regular white box Winchester was not "clean" enough, let alone reloads.

The place has changed hands since then and I don't know the new owners. Got a postcard from them - might need to stop by if I ever get into the city again.

I go to Top Gun monthly. They no longer require " no lead" ammo. Still do not like Blazer or Wolf. Would not expect them to require no lead for CHL. Give them a phone call and ask.

I actually take the cheapest "ball" ammo I can find to a renewal...

If I come across Mr T's stuff you see mostly at the local gunshows around here, and its close to renewal time, I'll grab a box...Its either that or PMC...

I have never had a problem with either through any firearm I own...zero...

I know (to some) it may be a fashion "faux pau" not to shoot a qualifier course of fire with a load you don't carry on the street...

But the stuff I carry on the street is expensive, about $2 a pop...So I'd rather use that stuff for the real deal...

Does anybody have any other suggestions for places to take the renewal at?

Thanks,
Seth

The Cat posts on this foreum regularly and teaches down at Texas City.

Probably every range in town has instructors.

Also 'near' Top Gun:
Bailey's House of Guns (5 minutes South of the Astro Dome)
Hot Wells Range (On US 290 about 20 minutes from the loop.)

Still do not like Blazer or Wolf

OOPS!! I fired off a box of Wolf at their range this past Sunday

A little off topic but why don't they like Blazer and Wolf ammo?

Just a guess, but much Wolf is steel-cased, and Blazer is aluminum-cased.

If they sweep up the spent brass and sell it to a commercial reloader, they don't want non-reloadable cases mixed in with the brass ones.

I don't allow Wolf in my classes because I don't have the time to deal with all the misfeeds and jams. I have not experienced any problems with Blazer.
