I found a new shooting range in the Tomball/Hockley area. "Shooting Sports & Training Center of Texas" - Owner is Joe Daigle, former LEO and NRA Instructor. I have only (sadly) been there once, but I hooked up one of my friends, who has been there numerous times. Joe is a great, down to earth kinda fella! Prices are good, sells guns and ammo too. Visit him and let him know that I sent you.

Now I will probably have to fight tooth and nail to get in!

I saw an ad on Craig's List. I haven't visited (yet); they charge $15 for range use.

Re: New Gun Range in Hockley/Tomball
Within easy distance of my home, so I was interested and curious right up until I read the range rules.
"9. Collection of spent cartridges is not allowed in this range."
That seals the deal for me. No thanks.

Re: New Gun Range in Hockley/Tomball
Hmmm...
Only six lanes. Tiny. And the staff hangs the targets after someone shoots? So everybody gets what appears to be a shortened B27 target? Hope they're not using those for CHL testing.
If you're shooting a revolver, do you HAVE to dump the brass?
I got a chuckle out of rule #1 "1. ALWAYS - Keep firearms pointed in a safe direction (usually downrange)." Soooo... in unusual situations, there might be another safe direction?

Range Rule: "The front gate lock is not an acceptable target."
Never Forget.

I might go and check it out, but its unlikely I would be a regular where I can't pick up my brass. I'm sick of going to Hot Springs just to put 300rds at 1 target or waiting around for an hour plus for them to change the targets. I reload lead so I don't really like going down to Shiloh.
