Hi Guys, need some help. My best friend is moving to Longview at the end of March. But I'm trying to get as much info as I can for him.
1. Gun clubs and ranges. We shoot IPSC/USPSA and 3-Gun. What is around a 45 min, hour drive?
2. Gun Stores.
3. He Has a Wife, cool things to do?
4. Good places to eat? You can say what you want about B'ham, but we have some very good places to eat.
5. any info?
Thanks!
And he's from Alabama so he's ok.

I spent some time working out there, but didn't get to go out too much.  Bodacious BBQ is fantastic for a chopped beef sandwich, sweet tea, and a cheese wheel.  There's a few in the Longview/Big Sandy/Gladewater area.

Check out ETRPC I'm a member and its a nice range they have IDPA shoots, and others but no 3-gun.  If he is pretty good at 3-gun I hear Shreveport is the place to go, other than that I'm not really sure.
