Any good gun ranges in Houston friendly to the AR crowd? Preferably allow m855 ammo etc. Thank you!
I believe Shiloh Shooting, up in the NW, allows ARs when it’s not too busy; they try to limit long gun usage when it’s busy mostly due to noise concerns to other patrons. Call ahead, and they should usually be able give you an answer for that time of day.
I haven’t had problems at any of the outdoor ranges I’ve been to -
Carter’s Country - off of Treaschwig in Spring
Clear Creek gun range - League City
Pasadena Shooting Club - Friendswood (I believe you must be or know a member) - http://www.psc-range.com/
American Shooting Centers (http://www.amshootcenters.com) is okay. None I have found in the Houston area are what I would consider good, but all things considered, this is the best I’ve found.
Agreed. Of all the listed above (except Pasadena Shooting Club, never been) ASC is the best.
I just wish I could find an outdoor range that would let me shoot my AR standing up.
Get a membership at Pasadena Shooting Center!!
Can you not at ASC anymore?! I always have at the 50 yard line.
Last time I went, was October 2014. I assume no standing, but honestly the last time I asked was a couple years ago. I get grief wanting to go prone between the benches.
Maybe the RO was a FNG. I once had one try to tell me I couldn’t carry my concealed pistol at the range. (He saw the muzzle when my shirt slipped up a little while picking up brass) Thankfully I knew the head RO and manager at the time so the problem was quickly corrected.
Or maybe they’ve had a problem with idiots shooting over the berms and changed the rules. Years ago you could double tap at the rifle line but not anymore.
Pasadena gun center?
next question is idpa matches? Anything in the area?
I shoot here all the time. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I use them as my FFL as well. Been going there since I was kid.
Yes and Pasadena Gun Center is not an expensive place to shoot, either. Never really very crowded and fun on a rainy weekend as well.
I also appreciate the fact that they’re not range nazis and don’t mind if you feel like ripping a mag every once in awhile.
Definitely one of the most laid back places to shoot. When I have to punch paper, they’re definitely one of my first choices.
Anyone else been to Hotwell’s in Cypress? Went there last weekend it wasn’t expensive at all-- only $10 per gun (doesn’t matter how many folks you bring) and you can stay for however long you would like. Rifle ranges at 25, 50, and 100 yards. Offer skeet, too, if you’re into that. Haven’t checked out the pistol range yet.
Avoid. Fudd central, teenage RSOs who power trip. Not a fun place

Hate that place. I would never go back if it was free.
Holy cow, didn’t know there was that much hate about that place. The RSOs did all look quite young…
Will give ASC a look next time I head out.
When I was zeroing my first AR, I was having some short-stroking issues, which eventually turned out to be a gas block misalignment issue. The range staff’s diagnosis when I asked off-hand was that I had put too much lube in the gun.
LOL. Makes you want to take a bottle of motor oil, do the Larry Vickers test, then fire it next time. Would love to see their expression.
