Houston Shoot - When and Where?

[thorkyl]

Ok guys, I would love to see a Houston BBQ & Shoot.
Pot-Luck style

Just don't know where to do it or when.

Thinking the 9th or 23rd of January.

Next is where?

My place is too muddy this time of year, any suggestions?

Some place that allows FMJ rifle and magnum rifle

 

[jordanmills]

I wouldn't mind meeting a few more of you, if you'll have me.

 

[DCortez]

We need to find a range like Elm in Dallas or Lone Star in Lockhart. So far, Carter's Country in Spring is the closest thing. Shiloh, a forum sponsor, is a great indoor range, but I think we need something outdoor.

 

[thorkyl]

I only know of 5 outdoor ranges in the area
3 are member only
1 I will not waste the fuel to drive by
1 I know nothing about other than its location
--> The one in George Bush Park on the west side

 

[IXLR8]

American Shooting Center in George Bush Park, is both large enough to accommodate a gaggle of shooters. Plus 7yd pistol to 300 yd, (allows .50 BMG)

I can't think of any better place that offers such a wide variety of challenges.

 

[Dcav]

We are having a group shoot there on the 9th at 1100hrs

 

[smittyb]

Can someone post up a link to a location, or at least an addy so I can find it myself?

 

[Dcav]

Info from one of the other threads on same topic. Not sure how many of us are going. Jordan Mills, Ret Army Sgt., Thorkyl, and myself have confirmed. Come on out will be good to meet up, and put rounds down range.

I would love to go, but that is pretty far for me. Maybe if we have one on the other side of town sometime.

 

[Dcav]

It is about 45 min for me as well. Not sure how far it is from you though. I am still realizing how big of a city Houston is.

 

[Fast Frank]

I would love to go out there and meet you guys, but my job requires that I work every Saturday.

(It's OK, I'm off every Monday)

Maybe we can do another meet on a Sunday some time.

Probably about an Hour and 45 for me. I don't really live in the city.

 

[thorkyl]

Ya, it will take me an hour myself but its worth it.

 

[Dcav]

Ya, it will take me an hour myself but its worth it.

Agreed, looking foward to it. Ever find someone with a TGT flag?

 

[RetArmySgt]

Sorry guys but this RetArmySgt here is going to have to take a rain check, got a email from the State Guard, i have to be at a meeting on the 9th here is Austin so i can get back in uniform but this time for the state of Texas. It not the National Guard but the state of Texas has its on military force known as the State Guard. Hope yall can forgive me for missing this one.

 

[Dcav]

Duty calls bud, so not a problem.

 

[Dcav]

First meet, was some good cold fun. Thanks to Thor for helping me out with my scope issues, good to meet his father as well. Got to meet 308Nato, and DCortez and family also. Good people. A cold day of shooting is better than a day with no shooting at all. The Crew at American Shooting centers were great as well, the gunsmith even gave me a deal for bore-sighting and remounting my scope for me.

 

[jordanmills]

I was out. Too cold, and the truck needed help. I need to meet you guys one day.

 

[Dcav]

Stay tuned for the next meet.

warmer weather will increase the turnout :-)
