Range day. Feb 10th. Lonestar Handguns

[TipBledsoe]

Rimmed cartridges only? Asking for a friend.

Loaded up a pile of .357 mags while my wife hosted a bridal shower.

If you're asking if the range allows semi-autos, or brass scattered on the ground - yes and I recall that they have brooms available to sweep away the brass.

I was a member of Lonestar from 2022-2023. I liked it, but didn't renew because I did not enjoy shooting outdoors in the heat for most of the year. I've been taking it indoors lately, which has its own things not to like.

What I liked about Lonestar is there is no oppressive range master. Staff seems to watch from afar. Since the targets are several rows of steel gongs along the length of the long pistol line, the line was rarely stopped for things like checking or changing targets. The downside is you may not know exactly where you hit the gong but can estimate based on how it swings. I would go in the morning when it was cool, and might not have a neighbor for five or six stalls. This made it easy to pick up brass if I wanted to. You had overhead cover for the sun, but light came in from behind to help illuminate your sights for contrast with your targets. At the store, I also liked their bargain bin box and large morale patch wall. I never shot at the rifle side, and the specialty ranges have an upcharge.

Wish I could go--its nice and cool--but I signed up to help with breakfast at a neighborhood social event.

Agreed.
I've never had an issue with the RSO's there.
I have had one shoot my cowboy guns every time I go. Ha!
Fingers crossed the weather stays nice.

Somewhere off to the right of that is a place you can sight stuff in, but I really don't know anything about it.

The sight in area has 1) 15 yard, about 4) 25 yard, 6) 50 yard, and 6) 100 yard.

Down side, damn school lunch room metal chairs are too damn low, by about 4".
I bring a shooting stool.
Could also bring s booster cushion.

Thanks for the info - might bring a rifle I need to zero.

I imagine it's no bueno - but are pistol caliber carbines allowed on the pistol range?

Well poop. I was looking forward to seeing you again - it's been a long time. I'm thinking I'll just bring along some BP stuff, just 'cause. Probably bringing a Hi-Power, an EMP (Thanks @Hoji ), GP100, and ..... For rifles, probably my Howa 6.5 Grendel mini-action and a Rossi 92.

Anybody who's coming - throw your wish list out there about stuff you want to shoot. You never know...

I've never been there but it looks like the main ranges have a roof over them.

 

[Gordo]

They are.

You can shoot some rounds out of that powder you sold me.
