It looks like a ghetto bowling alley.

That's the place

That's sad but pretty funny! Like I said, I felt like I needed a gun to walk into the place! :)

This morning I decided to go try out the two new toys I bought yesterday and since it was raining I decided to try out a different place that the usal indoor range I use (Sportsman's Outlet in Humble), the new place i tried is call the 59 Gun Range on Hwy 59 close to Little York road.

Here is my experience... Upon driving up into the parking lot I kinda questioned the place but hey, you know, you can't judge a book by it's cover (so it's said). Anyway, I decided, what the heck, I'll give it a try! When I walked in I was kinda glad I had a gun, it felt like I needed a gun just walking in the door (if my wife had of been with me I would have turned around and walked out). I completed the paperwork and decided to use the restroom before going to the firing line. When I walked into the restroom I thought "MAN! It's cold and damp in here...then I felt a water drop hit the top of my head! DANG! The ceiling was almost completly collapsed and it was RAIN dripping down on me! Again I thought, what the heck I'm here, I'll make the best of it! I went to the firing line (I was the only person there) and could barely stumble to my assigned lane...many, many spent cases cluttering the ground along with tons of other trash and 55 gallon barrelles full of spent brass. When i walked up to the bench at my lane I noticed that the bench itself was warped and looked as though it may fall at any moment. So I went ahead and loaded my magazines (after sweeping at clean spot to stand in), and put on my electronic hearing protection, as soon as I turned on the earmuffs I thought "what the heck is that noise"...it turned out to be the sound of raindrops falling about 12 feet from where I was standing!!! I am pretty sure the only ventalation was the holes in the roof!!

Overall I would give this place an F-, I will never step foot into this place again! AS a matter of fact I think I will write a letter to the NRA advising them of the conditions of this place and maybe they will remove it from their range listings
