Moving to Houston. Any ranges that let me shoot my own steel plates?

    Im going to be moving to the free state of Texas come 2021 from commiefornia and own quite a few steel sillouettes and plates (AR500). We had this nifty thing called BLM land (public land) where you could drive to and set up and shoot to your hearts content as long as it was safe and didnt cause fires. I shoot steel there all the time at 100-150 yards. Looked online and i couldnt find anything within 2 hours of Houston that allowed me to bring my own targets much less shoot steel. Any help fellas?

    You're going to be in for a disappointment I fear. BLM is the awesome part about shooting out west.

    There are a few potential options.


    https://brazosriversportsmansclub.com/ might accommodate you. Worth a call.

    I am pretty sure there is at least one private club where you can.

    The Ranch in Eagle Lake. But it is pricey.

    thanks for the reply. The Ranch is quite pricey but considering the ranges and the options they give you, it just might be worth it. Im used to spending 30-40 dollars per trip excluding ammo so 70 a month aint to shabby

    No problem. Make sure you verify what I've said. I've never been there myself but did peruse the website and they seem pretty permissive but it's worth checking first.

    its kinda ironic that the western states have some of the most strict gun laws yet they have BLM land which allows for some of the most unrestricted (but relatively safe) shooting opportunities. will be researching this in depth before my move. thanks to all.

    Leigh John at Brazos River Sportsman's Club in Fulshear is one of my closest friends. I RSO out there periodically. Give him a shout. The range is likely pretty muddy right now, but will work fine for your steel. The range isn't fancy, but so long as you kept it safe, you'll find it's very accommodating. Call to make certain that the rifle range is available if you're wanting 100-150 yds. There are also some three gun ranges that can do 50 yards if that works & rifles isn't open.

    thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely check them out once im in the area.

    Hey there Stevie,

    I’ll be moving north of Fort Worth around April from Rosamond, Ca. Here, I am surrounded by BLM land. I’ll be bringing my steel targets as well. Hope all is well from the recent weather. Donn
