Yup, that's about the best you can do. Indoor ranges definitely have issues with "boomers" - there's just no room for the compression wave to expand, so if you're too close, you feel it in your bones. A few days ago, I was taking some Canadian friends shooting at Red's North. They were shooting my GSG-5 as a "warm up." Unfortunately, next to them was a guy shooting an old Mosin-Nagant. Sounded like a cannon going off. Best thing to do is use foam inserts PLUS over the ear protectors.knljr wrote:My biggest complaint about the indoor ranges is that if someone is in there shooting something heavy - it's brutal. I've been the next stall over to guys shooting carbine's and .44 mags and god knows what else...but it's pure misery. I have had no issues asking the RO's to move when their are stalls available in those situations.

We should fix that one day and have a Texas CHL Forum Meet-n-Shootmreavis wrote:
I work at the north location. It doesn't surprise me that some of the forum members here shoot there; but I suppose I wouldn't know who you were even if I saw you.

She doesn't need a CHL to shoot with the ladies, just sayin.Soldiernurse wrote:If, my step-daughter ever sends in her completed docs for CHL application I'll let her know about the Austin Sure Shot's.

They tend to have younger guys working there on the line, and sometimes they can seem a bit cocky. I always recommend saying hi to the RSO whenever you go into the range area.
As for prices, they're pretty typical for an indoor range.
Speaking of Reds: The Austin Sure Shots, a women's only pistol league, meets bi-weekly at alternating Reds locations. They're a fun bunch of ladies -- so if you're of the fairer sex, it's a GREAT social group to hang out with!
