Yep, got their email a day or two ago as well.
I believe it opens this weekend.

Are you sure about that? IIRC, the initial "no rapid fire rules" were posted on the center walls a couple of years after they opened. When they were first trying to get their business plan in order, they did a bunch of lane rentals to "instructors" giving private lessons. ("Instructors" is in quotes because I've seen some of those guys who were completely incompetent to teach. Or even shoot, if the standard for competence is "be able to hit the target".) During those lessons, mag dump demos seemed to be a common feature. For a long, long while, I never saw a single person tapped for rapid fire, no matter how incompetently they were doing it.That's been their rule since day one.

When my membership runs out, I'm leaning that way.I think I'm done going to SGA for shooting.
If it's the same guy (and I suspect it is) he takes way too much interest in my shooting, too. I'm usually shooting a single shot or a revolver (with which I'm no speed demon) so I don't get the same warnings you do. I do, however, get lots of attention. I mean, right on up there to the "this guy is so interested in what I'm doing it's creepin' me out" level. I really do hate that.A newer (4 months? now) RO ...
Jimmy is the saving grace of the place. When I need to rent an entire range for a class or just a get-together, I deal with him. I remind him (usually show him on my phone) that I have current NRA RSO and Pistol Instructor credentials and ask that we not be disturbed. He makes that happen. The one time I had rented the entire back range and an RSO walked in, I stopped everything, asked him if I could be of any help, and we didn't proceed until he left.Kinda upset with this because I've built a good relationship with Jimmy who does with all the NFA items.
Yes. Yes, it is. Every other hometown that has their own section on TGT should be doing exactly the same.... I'm impressed! This is an outstanding resource...

It's an expensive proposition but if I need an entire range, I'll still use SGA as long as I can set it up with Jimmy. If they ever start insisting I use their RSOs, I won't ever use them again.
I wish there were enoigh gun ranges open to the public around Killeen to do that. There are a ton of ranges between Temple and Marble Falls, but the vast majority are private by invitation only.Yes. Yes, it is. Every other hometown that has their own section on TGT should be doing exactly the same.
For all you guys who live elsewhere, that's a challenge.
Yesterday when I looked at it there was a picture of Houston with flag on it and names in the post. Now it says broken link
I don't think the picture was ever a link. Use the link just above it (posted here for your convenience as well).

I can't speak for any others but I know ASC allows for standing, kneeling, and prone as long as you've claimed one of the benches. Unfortunately they still have flooding issues so I don't know when they will be open again.
