reds indoor range in austin

[blackgold]

Oh, I was pretty excited to find some sig magazines I have been unable to find anywhere else. No prices but wanted them. Came out to 104. Probably a little higher than other places but I guess it's a convenience thing.

Blackgold what area do you live? Because there are better ranges than reds. Every time I go to check zero on my rifles there tends to be a guy with an ak or ar variant that has no problem emptying that evil 30 round mag in about 30 seconds... I personally have no issue with that if they would keep the bullets on their target... Weather and time permitting I prefer to drive a bit fartherand go to a range where I can have an enjoyable experience.

I'm in Killeen. We're going to Stan's this weekend I think. Been to Texas Star. Heard about the one in Lockhart. That won't be a bad trip and work in some Black's BBQ. One good thing out of yesterday was I finally got to take another BBQ place off my list of places to go. Went to LA BBQ down on 1st. It was pretty darn good.

It was better when Mr. Mueller was still there wreaking havoc! No more pepper crust on the ribs and brisket.

Yes, I did not get there before He was ousted. :/ He's had a pretty troubled time with things though it seems. I will say though the brisket was some of the best I've had. I usually order lean brisket to avoid all the gristle and crap. The trade off often times is moisture. It tends to be a little dryer. This brisket was awesome. Ribs were pretty good too (Not a fan of spare ribs but they were pretty good for spares).

You know your BBQ!

[blackgold]

I'm known for BBQ. Many think my BBQ is pretty good (I'm more critical of mine than anyone else is). So I've talked to 2 other people since I replied to this and feel I should add the other thing that annoyed me about Reds. I was pretty upset but didn't react or say anything. (friends say they would have reacted). As I said, we had 3 people on one lane. As one shot, the other 2 were behind the line waiting (reloading off to the side). My mother wanted to shoot my P290 to see how it was compared to her LCP. I had the extended mag in it and shot a few rounds. I set it down loaded and walked to my mother (about 10 feet and within sight). She was getting ready to walk up to shoot it and the range guy walks up to my lane, picked up my gun and cleared it, then tells me that I can't leave a gun loaded unattended. I felt I was close enough to it and that was unwarranted. Inside, I was pretty irritated the guy picked up my gun, my friends stated that would have put them over the top pretty much (I know a lot of people are more talk than anything else, I just try to stay level headed). How would you feel in that situation? Were my actions that reckless?
Thanks,
Brian

I've had that happen as well "1911" loaded and locked... Sat it on the counter of the shooting bay motioned a friend over to shoot it... "Range safety officer" comes in between us while I am in the bay steps behind me takes off the safety drops the mag and clears the chamber while I am still inside the yellow marked shooting area. I packed my stuff up went inside and made my opinion heard by the entire staff and all customers inside. Basically stating that I have been coming here for the last x# of years and I have never ever had a safety officer gently move me out of the way grab my firearm off the counter when another shooter was within 3 feet of picking it up... Not to mention while dropping the magazine pointed the firearm at the wall of the shooting stall (where another shooter was engaging their target) and I'm the reckless one in this place for placing a firearm on the counter with the safety on.

The RO on the day I went came out of the range to ask the counter a guy a question, TWICE, while leaving the range unattended. Is this not a major screw up? By the look on the counter guy's face it sure seemed to be.

Glad I'm not the only one with these experiences!

I've had too many bad experiences at reds in pflugervile... The only time I go is requalification for my state security licenses... 20 minutes(tops) on the range 50 rounds in and out because my company pays for it...

Gunshop spec ops (customer in black bdus and skin tight black tshirt wearing a black webbing load bearing vest stacked with ar15 and glock mags)telling his girlfriend(I assume) that the take down switches on a glock are the safety..." If you pull this up you cannot fire the weapon" and this glock 19 takes this 32 round magazine of 40 caliber cartridges that is just as fast as 9mm and hits harder than a 45...

Another guy shooting his ar15 with a bump fire stock....lets loose a volley of fire that put 4 lanes out of commission for the day with no reprimand and I get scolded for double taps at 15 yds from a mkII ruger pistol(with a nice ragged hole that could have been covered with a coffee cup with space inside to spare)

PFLUGERVILLE -- Pflugerville police are investigating after a man shot himself at a Red's indoor gun range Friday night.
Police said the man is being treated at a local hospital.
No word yet whether it was an accident nor whether any employees or customers witnessed the shooting.
The gun range isn't commenting.

Ok that's what 3 or 4 shootings in 2-3 years...

News later said accident at Reds (not intentional... probably negligent)

I've never been there. I go as a guest often to outdoor range (you won't find it in a phone book or anywhere- closed membership-that's why I'm a guest, one member close friend of mine just had a stroke and passed away-perhaps I might get a membership and pay the $12.00 a year, but I go as a guest of another member free, and they hesitate to sell more memberships so ...) This one kinda doesn't exist "technically" -probably has no liability Insurance etc? ... that's why it's a closed organization by the land owner.
Or it could be ...
For $12.00 a year you get a key to the gate; perhaps he ran out of keys ...

[packa45]

Accidental... Negligent... Intended... It's still a shooting with injury or death...

I know of one death (parking lot negligent discharge guy apparently shot himself in the chest inside his car) at reds north... A lady died at reds south(if memory serves correctly)

If you look at the stalls (countertops are dented from visible bullet impacts some still have projectiles loges in them or possibly a ballpien hammer) small chunks are taken out of the concrete walls and floor(I can understand bullet impacts on the side walls 15-20 ft/yds down range but 4-6 feet or less from the firing line???)I personally don't feel safe with all the idiots out there.

I wish I could find a private range/club that wasn't so expensive and was close to Austin
