I go to the Sportsman Outlet in Humble quite often. I think when I was there last weekend they charged me $10.86.

Nice place in my opinion.

DO they charge extra for each additional gun and shooter?

Any other places? :grin:

I go to Hot Wells...it's on 290 about 5 miles north of FM1960/Hwy 6.

Not the nicest range but they charge $6 per gun and you can shoot all day. Additional targets are $1 per pair. There is no "per-person" charge.

They charge for extra shooters but you can take as many guns as you want for no extra charge.

Thanks, I'm going to check out both of them. Does either one offer handgun rentals? Prices? I hope I'm not bugging ya'll. That's my last question.

What do you think of Carter's Country in Spring? I was there a while back and found it to be really crowded. I wasn't too keen on everyone having to hand carry their weapons in the store, un-cased, either. Fellow behind me dropped his pistol in the floor. :oops: Others were coming in with multiple rifles in one arm and multiple pistols attached to the fingers of the other hand. Also, I wasn't used to seeing folks handle their pistols during the cease fire (seems it is allowed as long as the action is open). Maybe I am being too cautious?

I went and shot at Carter's Country around noon. So there were few people there. I brought my gun in my range bag and they didn't have a problem with it, they just had to see it to put a pink tag on it.

I put my gun down during cease fire. Everyone that I saw at the time put theirs down as well.

I think it's because it's a public range. Some people have been thought the etiquette ;I'm sure some have not.

I was lucky enough to have someone teach me ( 60 year old, raised around guns).

I may not have known that etiquette if I bought my first gun on my own and took it to the range. I guess we could just nicely tell them =)

The dude that had a bunch of pistols on his fingers need to be informed not to do that.
