Re: Outside Shooting Ranges in Houston

They installed heavy pipe barricades blocking the entrance to the area.

This is on or near the road where the Russian gymnastics coach has his retreat, so the roads themselves are reasonably well traveled. But the vehicle path that went into the woods to the clearing was not that difficult to barricade.

Re: Outside Shooting Ranges in Houston

Not any more!!

There used to be an area near Coldspring, another northeast of New Waverly, one off of FM1725 near FM3081, and then a really nice area that actually resembled a range west of I45 off of either FM1374 or FM1375.

All were barricaded and permanently shut down by the USFS except for the nicer one. It was posted as being open from the end of September through deer season, but I understand that it too has been permanently closed.

The first three sites were primitive clearings with small berms and no supervision. They were popular with class III folks.
