I used to go to Dietz between New Braunfels and Gruene. It's a good range, but a bit of a drive. Nice folks, standard range rules. They do give discounts for NRA members.
I now go to Lone Star Gun Range in Lockhart and have a membership there. Matt is continuously making upgrades, and currently has two pistol bays and a 100y rifle range. Last visit, he'd made a shotgunning range for shooting clays. Controlled rapid fire is allowed, and if the right pistol bay is free, you can draw, move, and shoot there. All of their rifle and pistol positions are covered, as well. I like it a lot.
I don't particularly like indoor ranges, and both listed above are outdoor. I've been to both Red's locations. The one in Pflugerville is nicer, IMO, but still suffers with the same issues most indoor ranges do - lots of noise, either too hot or too cold, and expensive range fees ($13/hour). The outdoor ranges above have about the same price for outdoor shooting that you'll pay for an hour of shooting at Red's.
People have mentioned Eagle Peak above. Their fees are reasonable, but I do not go there because I cannot afford to shoot rifles there. They restrict rifle ammo to SP or HP ammo only, and I cannot afford to buy and feed my milsurp rifles with the kind of ammo they require. Their policies on shooting and handling are also relatively restrictive, like most other public ranges. They do have a shotgun setup, but my understanding is that it is rudimentary at best, and clay throwers are manually operated.
