Spring or Conroe Ranges

[tsuperflash]

I am in Spring, TX and would love to find a membership range that isn't a huge drive. Somewhere you can join for a monthly fee that allows metal targets, dealing trees, etc. Just generally more variety of shooting. Is anyone aware of something along those lines in the Houston area?

Tomball Gun Club is in the right location but two current members must vouch for you, no steel, and the wait time to get a slot is years since, basically, one of the current members has to die for a slot to open up.

The Madisonville Gun and Archery Club has basically the facilities you want but it's a long drive. It's also oriented so that you shoot straight east meaning that it bugs the hell out of me to try to shoot in the mornings, looking into the sun.

I suggest you look at all the links for private/club ranges shown in this post. That post marks all the private/club ranges as such so you can easily find them.

If you can give up the requirement for a membership range (which I'm interpreting as a private gun club), there may be commercial ranges close(r) to you that have the facilities you want and give you a discount to become a member. I'm not plugged in to that scene but their websites should give you a good idea of whether they meet your needs or not.

If you have questions, post them here and folks will answer what they can.

Awesome, this is very helpful. Thank you for the detailed response.

No, thank you.

You prompted me to look back at that thread and make sure I didn't see any errors. Well, Renaissance says on their web site that they aren't open to the public, only members. That makes them a private club. But they're very different from most private clubs in that they have somewhat commercial-range-style facilities. I guess that's why we hadn't listed them as a private club before now.

So I'm going to go correct that page to note Renaissance as a private range. It's probably the closest to what you're seeking.

ETA - I'm going to have to get up there to check them out. Their Youtube channel is pretty threadbare and it's difficult to find photos of just what's there. Their Facebook seems a bit more active. So take the paragraphs above with a grain of salt until you've personally verified the place meets your needs.

ETA2 - Sheesh, I forgot to say why I went off on a tangent talking about Renaissance. It's because it's probably the closest to you that might meet your needs. Depending on exactly where you are, Thunder Gun might be closer but from personal experience, I strongly suggest you read about that range and the various adventures that TGT members have had there before you go. The search function on this board is your friend.

Copendero Range best

Got a location or link or something? If it's within 50 miles of downtown Houston, I need to add it to the range directory.

Thank you very, very much. Copendero has been added to the first post in the Greater Houston Gun Ranges thread. Looks like nice facilities.

Looks like nice facilities.

Wow, looks downright posh.100-yard, fully indoor rifle range, like BTO. They'll even clean your gun for you...Vip Lounge..VIP bar. VIP gets free rentals- even full auto, free ffl transfers. link

Times are a changing....

I've never seen a range that rents full auto that didn't also require purchasing your ammo at the range. Free full auto loaners sounds to me like a great way to sell tons of ammo.

Honestly the best range I've found that's within reason is CCC shooting complex.

Thanks for the pointer but that's ~70 miles from Spring and ~85 miles from downtown Houston so I can't add it to the ranges map for the Houston area.

Their website is down atm. I strongly suggest people read their Facebook page before going. It's a particular kind of range and for folks who like it, it looks great.

Copendero has only been open for 5 or 6 months. I found it accidentally, as they don't seem to have advertised much. I stopped in and got the grand tour. Nice facility, especially the pistol range.

Yeah it's a little bit of a drive but it has rapid fire, you're allowed to move and shoot, etc. I haven't been able to find a range in Houston area that allows either so if you're willing to drive a little bit outside of Houston and it's something you're looking for, it's the closest range I've found that allows that as well as full auto firearms.
