    I don't build them but I like to shoot. I go to Clear Creek gun range. It's the only one down here with a 200yd range.

      I don't build them but I love to shoot handguns... both semi-autos and revolvers.  I have a particular interest in combat and practical/self-defense scenarios.  I haven't started reloading yet but I've thought about it pretty seriously.

          Well I go to carter's country most of the time but they have become liberal almost and they shut down there 200 yd due to the outbreak of homes and stuff around there.. American shooting center is the place to go now for long range shooting and impact zone for all out fun!! Impact zone allows full auto, suppresed and basically all the fun that the other ranges frown upon.

          I have built multiple ar15's and do most to all the custon work to all my other guns. I don't feel comfortable reloading but would really like to try, the only problem is not knowing someone to help guide what to buy and what not to buy.

          I think some tactical courses would be awesome but there's rarely anything good near here, mostly private land stuff.

              I am in high school now, I like to play paintball and airsoft (fading out of paintball becouse its so expensive but we made about 6 acres of our pasture into a paintball course).we own eleven acres and in winter I hunt squirrel and rabbit. Just so you know my dad is Ken/mark and I made a new profile when we got a new computer.

                I have spent some fun time beating the Mesquite bush and shooting the Skeet birds on the fly.  
                But I'm considering bullseye pistol.... Anyone know of a local range ?

                'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
                He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

                  That's sounds like some fun!

                  I never heard of it though and from what I see at the ranges in and around houston I doubt there's a place here.

                  I'm a team member over at ar15.com and the local guys hold shoots/get togethers and they usually open to suggestions of little friendly matches when we do get out, maybe see what they think. Think there's going to be a labor day shoot coming up.

                    I don't know of a local range that has a bullseye course. My best bud is a gunsmith in Lamarque. I'll ask if he's heard of one. His shop is called Williams Gunsmith. He loads all my rounds and is the only smith that I'll let work on my guns.

                        I have 2 AR's that I have built and an AK that I rebuilt. I'll post pictures of those later, but here are a few of my handguns:

                              I'm too scared of the loud noise.
