They ask you how many guns (and would prefer that you don't handle any weapons, that you're not about to buy, in the pro shop), give you a copy of the rules to read over, take your money, give you your targets and a wrist band, and wish you a nice day. FYI, anyone on the firing line must have a wristband regardless if they're shooting or not. So if some of your buddies want to go to just hang out & watch, they'll have to do it from outside the range area.

Thanks for details. That's a much nicer setup than Carter's Country. They make you take out every gun so they can put a tag on it that proves you paid to bring it in. So you get pull out, lock back the slide, hand it to them, take it back, and put back each gun you bring.

How does ACS handle the check in process, do they make you pull out all the guns for tagging like Carter's Country?

The whole per gun thing drives me nuts. Seems like a lot of ranges in Houston do this. I've never come across one in Dallas like that.

I'll probably do ASC and I just be a little more picky about what I bring. Last time we did a big range visit up here we brought so many guns and ammo that we bottomed out the suspension in my friend's ford taurus

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm hoping you guys can give me some suggestions. I'm looking for a gun range in the Houston and North Houston areas. I'll be coming into town this weekend to throw a party for a friend and I'm planning to take him and a couple other guys to a range. I'll be in the Spring area and my friend is near Westpark Tollway and Beltway 8. So lots of ground to cover.

I'm hoping I can find a range that does pistols, rifles (300 Blackout), and shotguns (clays or skeet) and that wont break the bank in range fees. If this was going on in Dallas I would just go to Elm Fork. Is there a Houston equivalent? Bonus points if there is a steak house nearby.
