Actually it looks like they don’t charge initiation and the price isn’t bad when compared to many private ranges.
Place is sweet tho...plus they allow NODs and thermal. Want to try an organize a nodz match.

Eh it’s worth the juice to me, they got steel galore in like 10 bays, some of the bays are 360, AC lounge areas at the 1k that are stocked with water and soda and best of all I shit you not free beer at the larger club house when your done. It’s nice to be able to take clients ect.....my 1k range cost 150 a year but we can shoot after sunset
If anyone else wants to link up out there holler, it’s 20 mins from the house we’re building
I shoot and am a member down at 7foxtrot in Pearsall but wouldn’t mind checking that place out some time because it sounds awesome!
Im from MA.
I haven't a clue about that club.
Im just saying some smart accountant figured the cost of membership to include so many beverages to each member.
The only way you get free beer or soda is if you drink beyond the actuarial estimate and consume the beverages of some non drinking member. He is paying for your beer than.
Nothing in life is free.
It's more expensive than most clubs but cheap compared to the money my family pays to use a pool for three months in the year.
The mile range is open but you are only allowed to shoot it with the owner present or with prior approval when shooting it. It’s fair game out to 1260yds and he’s added another steel range with more props like a car, cargo net and bus you can practice from. He is also in the works on building more shooting bays and some buildings.
I just relocated to Texas from So Cal. I’ve been looking for a place to shoot on a regular basis. I currently shoot with a friend who is a member of a private club down in Crosby. It’s nice enough but I can only go when I’m with him. He and I have gone to CCC on several occasions but it’s a 4 hour round trip and membership is something like $800 per year which is nearly on par with this place. I’m in Pearland now and it’s a shorter drive to this place for sure. I’d love to check it out especially if you can shoot around the clock. I don’t have NV yet but it’s in the near future.
Lol. Ya man good to link up, I’m gonna go Friday morning at 8. August 3rd is the next full moon, be cool to book up a few bays for some fun with lasers. A buddy of mine is Steiner rep and we could get him to bring out some goodies.
For those of us here in the Texas area, do you find it best shoot very early in the AM or later in the afternoon/evening? Or are you guys just shooting through the scorching sun all day lol?
Mornings with the sun at your back is preferable, but that mirage is always fun to train in. I came off the range at 2 and it was boiling pretty good...shows the wind’s hand pretty well if your shooting from an elevated position like we were.
Most of us who grew up here or been here a while, just go out and shoot. Just carry plenty of water with you. It's not called scorching Heat... It's called welcome to Texas...lol.
I was definitely interested in looking at this place since it's pretty close to me ...sealy, unemployment do to covif nixed that idea... hopefully things will pick up soon, I'll start working again and maybe be able to join.

I've lived in south Texas all my life. I still think it's hot AF. Was just curious how others were doing it...
I think the correct term is it feels like we're four blocks from the Sun ... but today is a nice day, it only feels like we're 5 blocks from the Sun
Haha nice one, never heard it that way before. Yeah, I manage to get accustomed to it and since my work is outdoors, you learn to deal with it anyways.
I've got some brothers in saudi Arabia though, I hear it's hotter over there!
Anyways, didn't mean to sidetrack the thread. If I'm understanding correctly, this range is just west and a slightly south of Houston right? It sounds like a kickass place. If I can find myself working around the Edna, Bay city, Freeport area again, I'd check it out.
Its a Texas thread, of course it involves discussion of how hot it is
It’s just west of Eagle Lake on Highway 90
Definitely miss the Bay City area. A lifetime ago I spent about a year-and-a-half working title and getting leases down there... Great people.
My favorite part of the membership thus far (only been a member for two weeks) is being able to book a range/spot up to two weeks in advance, online. Not saying that you have to book way in advance just to get a spot on the weekend at one of the many ranges by any means. But it is nice to know that if i'm going to pack up all my shit that I will be able to shoot where/when I want to and not wait around for people to be finished.
I live in Conroe (1hr 40 min drive) and its worth the drive.
Everything is covered in the membership that you could think of, besides paper targets. As mentioned they have mini lodges at the various ranges with bathrooms, stocked fridges, and wifi. The 1k range has a golf cart and spray paint for the targets. It may seem like a lot of money but you have to take into consideration your time etc. To me, its worth it and I'm a cheap ass.

Can verify, have seen him purchase a metal detector and dig up his backyard Caddy Shack style for about two weeks to avoid paying someone to fix the sprinkler system.
No tools, but some nails and other random shit. Metal detector let me down so back to Amazon it went!
If you mean american shooting centers. Then definitely. Definitely
I’ve always found it hard to find pvc pipe with metal detectors
Looking for the electronic valve on the system. I may do some dumb shit, but not that dumb!
