Anybody know where to find one of these in or around Houston?
Anyone know a shop that sells them?
Started piecing together a home range, and it’s been a fun but challenging ride. I’m aiming for a practical setup to run drills efficiently without needing to travel too far. So far, I’ve set up 10 yards for pistol work, added a 50-yard target for rifles, and created a few barricades for cover training. The highlight so far has been building a small tower for elevation shots—nothing crazy, but it’s been a game changer for the variety of drills I can run.
My questions for the community are:
What are some “must-have” training tools I might be missing?
How do you manage targets efficiently without a huge budget?
Would love some advice from seasoned shooters on how to optimize space and keep everything safe. Always looking to improve my setup!
Been searching for a solid outdoor range in the Houston area where I don’t have to break the bank or pay extra for each gun I bring. I’m looking for something with good open space, no need for range officers breathing down my neck. No interest in high-end places like the Athena Gun Club – just want to shoot without all the extra fees. Do any of you know a spot that’s decent for a casual weekend range day?
So new to Houston never bought my own gun but wanting to. Want something simple maybe just a Glock 19 with a suppressor too...
With that said I am a veteran I know how to safely use and handle a gun just don’t know where to buy one at or the whole procedure out here on getting one …
Also, I know it’s legal to carry in tx but what’s the disqualifications? I’m just trying to excerise my second amendment.😁
I have a full size PDP Pro and interested on checking out a compact PDP or PDP F series to carry but want to feel it out first. With the exception of primary arms or Athena, does anyone know a place? Primary arms has a selection of them but I don't think they have a store front that will let us take a look at them
Has anyone been to the range since they reopened? I'm thinking about becoming a member. Do you still need a truck or SUV to access the bays?
I’m new to Texas just got my ID I am 18 years old I am wondering where I can go to buy a handgun or what are the local laws
Got another pistol recently which has motivated to start shooting again at ranges. I live down the street from Athena gun club so I've been going there recently. Love the facility but can be pricey at $18 weekdays and $20 weekends... Half off on Thursday though. I didn't mind the cost when It was once in a while, but been going frequently lately.
I may just end up sticking to Athena since it's literally down the street from me but anyone have a preferred spot west Houston?
Ps. Also been to full armor.
Hello - I’ve never owned a shotgun, or any gun, for that matter. I am interested in getting into clays/skeet.
I play a ton of golf and could direct a beginner to a solid set of clubs that would not be bottom tier/awful but also not something so nice it wouldn’t help them get started enjoying the game.
Any suggestion for me in regard to brand or type of shotgun that would fit this sort of description?
Thanks!
Looking to get a lower cerakoted to match upper, anyone have a recommendation for good place to get it done? Prefer closer to Katy but doesn’t have to be
Any ranges open today/this evening
Looking for info on who has good prices on transfers for normal firearms. Have been going to carters country spring.

Edit: I just found out about the FFL locator on gun broker
So this might be a silly question… but I’m pretty new to Houston and I just saw in academy that we can buy a pound of tannerite???
Is there really any place to go shoot it, just for a cool wow factor? Or is there some other use case for it?
Which places have the best deals?
Ordered a griffin armament mk2 lower but sounds like it’ll take a month to ship minimum…
so I’m looking for something like the aero precision m4e1 lower (currently priced at $100) for the mean time / start of the next build I guess :p
already received all other parts just need the lower now! Please help 🥲 I’m getting too impatient to build my first rifle
Good morning! Can anyone point me in the right direction for Houston locations that host these types of events regularly. Would like to go see one and possibly compete. Thanks!
Has anyone heard or seen the new Larue Tactical Siete? It has a magpul style chassis. supposedly it has the same accuracy as the siete. I cant seem to find any pictures of it. Has around a $1700 price tag.
Huge shout out to top-gun range under 600 out the door!
It's that time of year again, post your or your favorite stores Black Friday Deals.
I went a little nuts and bought a BFR in 45-70. Is there an indoor range that would let me shoot it? I live close to you @topgunkyle
I have about 720 (20ct boxes) rounds for 7.62x39. where can I sell it ? mostly Monarch , brown bear , and wolf.
Looking to get my 1911 barrel DLC coated black and have a recessed crown done. Does any place locally do this work?
Hey everyone, a month ago I posted about an idea I have for an outdoor shooting range 30 miles southwest of Katy. I’ve done a lot in preparation for it, the last thing I need to break ground is the funding so I’m currently taking a list of interested members to show proof of interest to investors. Some of you have already signed up, thank you! We are getting pretty close to having the number of members pre-registered needed to move forward.
For anyone else interested in becoming a member at $50/month all I need for now is your name and email address sent to the email on the website. The website is linked below.
I’m thinking about shooting skeet/clay/trap as a hobby and was wondering what’s the cost monthly.
What’s the price of a decent/budget semi shotgun? Over-under are too expensive for me unfortunately.
And what would be a reasonable amount of money to set aside if I wanted to shoot once a month?
I used to go to Boyert in Katy but they closed down a few months back They allowed rapid fire and didn’t charge per gun That’s kind of what I’m looking for indoor or outdoor. I prefer outdoor but not a dealbreaker. Also not trying to spend Athena gun club money lol Anyone know of anything?
Is there any gunsmith in Houston that can get ride of the internal lock on my J-frame S&W? I can provide parts.
