Re: friendswood range
OldSchool, the best bet is to call. The road is paved, but a little bumpy. The range is looking better everytime I visit. They are working hard to get the range upgraded and they've been friendly & helpful with any questions. They are going to have a grand opening pretty soon.
In the meantime silverbear and some others have had a really fun time doing some action pistol shooting Sunday evenings.

Re: friendswood range
Do you guys know if they allow .22 rifles? I dropped by once before I had anyplace to shoot, but never came back (the ventilation seemed non-existent, and I prefer outdoor anyways). Glad to hear it is being improved, the more and better ranges there are the merrier.
Re: friendswood range
Yes, .22 rifles are okay.

Re: friendswood range
We are going to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex Friday morning and being bussed to the NASA Causeway to view the launch. We have a 9:30 AM arrival time at the Visitor Complex then taking the NASA transportation to the view site.OldSchool wrote:Where will you be tomorrow?silverbear wrote:In Florida this week watching the launch of Atlantis - you guys have fun!

Is that the Indian River site? You'll have to let me know how the view is from there!

ETA: Well, not really off-topic: We're at PSC today taking a class during launch....

Re: friendswood range
Wow, what a fantastic day, I can not thank fm2 and ElGato enough for helping me, 2 of the nicest people in the world,
I have complete faith in my 642, learnt a whole lot today, I am ready to head to the range on my own, have so much to work on
I also brought a 9mm that I had some issues with, it is brand new and I guess we just need to spend a lot of time together and see who gets worn out first
My girlfriend will be back from Florida on Tuesday, she has her CHL but no gun yet, so I have 3 guns and with some help I now have the correct ammo and plenty of it.
Everybody I met tonight was nice, Jason was there and he is as nice in person as he is on this board.
The scenarios were a lot of fun, I think everybody had a great time, big thanks to fm2 for organizing this, big success

Re: friendswood range
I wasn't able to go today, but did go 2 weeks ago. FM2 has a lot of knowledge to pass on, and I am grateful for his wanting to share.Ldy AlliDu wrote:fm2 and ElGato
ElGato was my CHL instructor in March, he is just GREAT!! Anyone that has a chance to work with him, will go away with a lot of knowledge and as he instilled in me, a greater want to learn!

Re: friendswood range
Thank you for coming out and shooting with us. I think with a little practice you'll have the 9mm working for you. But, you did really well with your revolver, so you could use that as well.Ldy AlliDu wrote:I have complete faith in my 642, learnt a whole lot today, I am ready to head to the range on my own, have so much to work on

I'm glad you liked the scenarios and had fun at the range.

Re: friendswood range
When is the next exercise?
Re: friendswood range
Larry, we will be at Best Shot Shooting range @ 5:00 again this Sunday.
Bring a holster, couple of mags., and about 100 rounds of ammo in addition to your regular range gear.
