Howdy guys,
     Now that the weather has finally cooled off a bit, a buddy of mine wants to go shoot M14/M16 automatic rifles & a 9MM SMG. Much prefer an outdoor range. The only NFA/MG friendly outdoor range I have used in the Houston area was the Impact Zone over in Brenham. Are there any others a bit closer to the Kingwood/Conroe area?
TIA!

That's one of the reasons I got rid of my M16 a couple years ago.  I really didn't have many places I could shoot it (at least in 5.56mm).

Also to clarify, Thunder will allow full auto, but only if you're a cop with one of the agencies who's contracted with Thunder, and you're shooting in the non-public LE bays way in the back.  I've heard short full-auto bursts from back there occasionally.

Thats dumb. Public ranges are one reason why im not selling my place out here. I only have a 100 yards but we've had everything you can think of out here with no issues.

People use to do shoots, the one near dayton was always great, but insurance and people not wanting to deal with some dude shooting himself has dried that all up. I miss those old days and meeting the guys that went.

Hell Houston Armory only did what 2 shoots up in Centerville before some guy started the shit.

Hope ya find a place close OP. Id say go down to the river in the back of kingwood but im sure you'd have swat on ya in no time now a days.

The range in Magnolia (Magnolia Misfits) might allow it. (Private, but takes new members).

Alternately, once deer season is over, PM me. I’m on a lease in Splendora (off Plum Grove Road) and we can go out there and mag dump (there are some huge berms to use as backstops).

I do appreciate the offer. We have our own range 400 miles northeast over in MS but nowhere to shoot auto around Kingwood/Conroe.

Saddle River Range on FM 1488 (just south of Conroe) allows full auto after a quick brief with the RSO.

ETA, Saddle River is an indoor range...
