Re: Anyone been to Hotwells Shooting Range in Cypress?

Good morning, first may I say thanks for the kind words and support. Lets see if i can answer all questions. Range opens at 9a Mon. thru Sat.- 1P on Sun.. closes @ 8P Mon. thru Thurs.- 6P Fri. thru Sun. If you have the option I would come during the week as the weekends can be crazy. If you are coming to shoot skeet on a weekday call if you are coming before 1p as I do not always have a puller, also you need to be signed up by 4:30p in order to clear the fields by the time league starts or closing time. Please remember to bring 8 or 9 shot, no super speeds. Pistol and rifle we ask for 2 to 3 seconds between shots. We are located between Skinner and Barker-Cypress on 290 on the inbound side in Cypress. p.s. this Sat. there is a league shoot-off on the skeet ranges would not come after 11:00a.
Again, Thank-you. cheryl 832-279-0145

Re: Anyone been to Hotwells Shooting Range in Cypress?

Hey Guys, Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Cheryl, my Mom, Dallas and I run Hot Wells, and I thought I would take a few moments to answer questions and explain a few things. We sell ear protection for a $1.00 a pair, safety glasses for $3.00 to $5.00. Our pistol ammo prices (when we can get them) are very competitive. We buy our shotgun shells from Walmart or Academy, prices are decent but not the best, and frankly our rifle ammo price as a rule stinks, we just don’t have a good supplier so I always suggest Walmart or Academy. Thanks for your kind words Jed, am glad you enjoy shooting out here, but I wanted to let you know that the guards you think of as sun guards are actually there to keep people from shooting over the berm. As you folks know it is really building up out here and we take all possible precautions to make sure all shots stay on our property, that is the reason Carter’s, American and us have gone to the no double-taps or rapid-fire rules. Too many people just do not have control enough of their weapons and quite frankly we are fighting for our very survival. Indoor ranges still allow it as they have more control where that bullet is going. TD, I took a little offense at the way you spoke of my Range Officer, I understand your need to double-tap as I fuss at my concealed students all the time to learn how to do it, which is why we offer tactical classes or recommend that they go to Shiloh at least occasionally. However, there are at least 10 signs stating no doubles or rapid on the range before you even start shooting. The fact that you said he had to tell you twice, I feel, says you had no respect for him. I have 24 of the finest young men in Cypress working for me instead of sitting on their butts at home, three of them just this year have become Marines or will be one in the next 2 months. And I am willing to bet that when he talked to you he treated you respectfully and said Sir (although generally we can be testy on the second reminder). So I do not look at them as teenage “rangemasters” I look at them as fine young men whose first job is to keep my customers safe and they do an excellent job and I could not be prouder if they were my own. Believe me when I say we wish we did not have to put these restrictions, we love this business and wish only to have happy customers, and I think we have enough enemies to the gun world without tearing up each other. Thank-you to those that have supported us and anytime you have a complaint I hope you will bring it to me, I will do my best to fix it or explain why I can’t. Thanks for your time.
