    Are any members in the Houston area interested in meeting up and having a group recoil therapy session the weekend of Aug 8? I'm in the Magnolia/Tomball area and typically go to Saddle River on 1488 but am up to shoot guns and the $h!t anywhere in the Houston area (air conditioning preferred).

    Good on you for setting this up. If I can get time away I’ll be there. I think [mention]Dad_Roman [/mention]and [mention]Dead Roman [/mention] are nearby and they’re both good people.
    Thanks, I'll try... I've never attempted anything like this so I hope it works out. I have only met a few of y'all through ftf deals and would like to meet more. For the most part we're all riding the same wave. First member I met was @EZ-E (still loving that Night Defender bro, thanks!!) and since he moved I haven't seen much in way of this type of deal down here.

    I am fishing on the 7th. I can make the 8th.
    I'm down for Sunday-Funday; we'll see what the general consensus is and go from there. This weekend just happens to be the best for me, I get home from offshore a couple of days before and it's not my weekend with my kids so...

    Would love to be there but that is also the weekend for the Texas Trophy Hunters Extravaganza. I usually take my best friend for his birthday and this year will, for the first time have both sons and the grandson along as well. We all go both days, spending the night with my oldest son in Conroe. My best friend and I have attended this show for the last 10 years. Y'all have a fun and safe time at the range day. I'll try to make the next one!

    Unless I have to deal with illness at home (which hasn't been the case for several months, knock on wood and thank God), I'm in.

    I'd really like to get a solid 25-yard zero with my AK and shoot it one last time before I sell it, so this meetup is happening at the perfect time for me. I assume the indoor ranges you're considering have 25-yard ranges, at least?

    Yep, that's what I was thinking. If we can get a good count ahead of time, it would go a long way for allocating lanes and even a classroom if necessary.

    OK, I called the SPB in Cypress (290&1960) and here's the skinny
    -Will take a reservation
    -Max pistol .500S&W :peace:
    -Max rifle .308
    -No green tips or tracers
    -Slug only for shotgun (no scatter at all, including buck)
    -No full auto (I forgot to ask about binary)
    -All lanes 25yd
    -Can use a class room with table and chairs (possible fee)
    -$22/hr per lane, per person +$5 liability waiver good for 12 months (for those that don't have one on file)

    At this moment (unless you out right said you can't make it I'm counting you for now) we're looking at:
    @toddnjoyce / @Dred / @Brains / @1911'S 4 Me / @Daley_G / @benenglish / @Waldotallboy64 / & me on the 8th.

    We'll let 'er ride for a bit, I reckon more will want to come over the next week or so and I'll do some calling around checking on other venue options.

    If anyone has any suggestions at all throw 'em on the table. Thanks and I look forwarded to meeting y'all!

    Huge congrats on getting this ball rolling in your area. Thank you! This could be the start of something great.

    The prices of that place, do seem a bit steep though. I'm hoping some other options open up that are much better priced.

    Wishing you all the good luck.

    PS: When this happens, pictures are required! As in, obligatory!
