Re: Best of the West near Austin
Go there at least once a week (usually on Saturdays) for long range rifle shooting. Prices are resonable, the staff is friendly, they have bays for short range pistol and rifle, trap and skeet ranges for the shot gun crowd, and my favorate, a 1000 yard rifle range. Paper at 50, 100 and 250 with steel at 250, 500, 750 and 1000 yards. However, there is a qualification requirement to shoot beyond 500 yards. The firing line is covered and shooting is not limited to just bench. You can stand, lay down, sit, kneel, etc., when shooting. Best shooting facility in central Texas.

Re: Best of the West near Austin
I plan to be there Saturday morning. Great range, and the membership is great if you live close enough to go 2-3 times a month.

Re: Best of the West near Austin
What's the crowd like on the weekends? Been meaning to go, but it's a two hour drive from San Antonio and I don't really care for the crowded lanes. the only place I have is over an hour south, but it's only out to 500
good for load development but boring as hell with a GAP Hospitaller. And what do you have to do to "qual?"

Re: Best of the West near Austin
There are 30 plus shooting positions on the rifle range and even on weekends I've never not been able to get a position on the firing line. Qual is simple, under the observation of the RO you must be able to hit a 250 and 500 yard steel target 3 times. The steel at both ranges is aprox 16" X 18". Piece of cake if you know the drop data for your rifle/ammo combination.
