I don't know where you are in Houston, but Memorial Shooting Center, (just north of Memorial Center Mall) used to allow outside instructors to qualify. They were very nice. I just qualified a class at Tactical Firearms in Katy. They told me during their grand opening I could even use one of their classrooms. I'm sure they would charge for the room and I didn't ask how much.

Memorial Shooting Center is about the same distance from me so I am going to look into that...thanks.

I had to qualify 4 students this past Friday. I went to TopGun in Houston. Now in the past, I have gone there and with the exception of having to pay twice the amount per student ($37.50...the hourly price is only $15.00 normally), I was never charged anything else. That has now changed, they charged me the same price just to administer the exam!

Three of the students I brought with me had never been to Top Gun, so in my mind, I was bringing in ongoing business to them so why charge me? (rhetorical question) Add to that the continual snarky attitudes I have encountered there, and I am just going to have to find somewhere else to get my students qualified.

I really don't get it.
