My favorite range for indoors.
I'm from Spring, at least a 40 minute drive for me.

Re: Marksman Range Report
I took my CHL class at this location. The range was very clean and well-lit, and the ventilation was excellent, even with a whole line of us simultaneously lighting up our targets. The bullet-proof glass between the fining line and the "waiting room" is a nice touch. There is lots of airport-style seating, a TV, and a huge table (actually a pool table with a tabletop on it) to prep yourself before going onto the line. The staff was friendly, although I didn't talk to them much.
The classroom in the same building is much nicer than I expected (especially for a gun range!). In all, it is definitely the nicest indoor range I've been to, and I absolutely will be back.

No! Thankfully it went away after a week. But I DID get some interrogation from my wife when I got home! She said it was a hickey!USA1 wrote:Joe , don't you still have a "hot brass scar" on the back of your neck?joe817 wrote:Undoubtedly one of the funniest movie series I've ever seen!That reminds me of this classic scene from the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy:![]()

Re: Marksman Range Report
I called as well and owner said they will allow shotguns (lead free shells only) which is quite good . Only a few indoor range s allow this.

Re: Marksman Range Report
Having read such good things about the range and meeting Jim Hogue at Collectors Firearms this afternoon, I stopped by Marksman range today after work. Like Toadstone wrote previously, the place is clean, well lit, nicely ventilated and hosted by friendly folks. I have to say, this is now my favorite range. ![thumbs2 :thumbs2:](./images/smilies/thumbsup2.gif)

We might want to kick around some dates and times to see what works best for all. With my work and family schedule, I'm thinking Friday nights through the weekends works best. I think there a few other trouble makers around here we could round up as well.
