New to area, outdoor range for....

[GeauxLSU]

Use to have my own place now trapped in suburbia, in Alamo Ranch. Want to get into rimfire benchrest and just looking for a decent place for 50 yd benchrest shooting. Limited to weekends.
A Place to Shoot, or Lone Star? Or someplace else? The Bullet Hole is obviously infinitely more convenient. Went once, that's a no return....
TIA for suggestions.

What happened at Bullet Hole. I went once and they were allright. I prefer A Place to shoot as this location is closer to where my in laws live and range although outdated is still doable and okay.

You can try Dietz (https://www.dietzgunshop.com/). It's not much to look at compared to other places, but it's a range.

Lonestar is way better than Dietz, and probably easier to get to.

@GeauxLSU

Isn't 50 yards a bit short for benchrest?
I used to shoot .22 pistol at 50 yards with a custom Ruger auto with 12" barrel.
Will have to dig out the one picture I have of it.

It's various ranges (50-100-200) but 50 is sort of the default.

Cedar Ridge just up 281 in Bulverde is great. https://cedarridgerange.com/

They have bays with benches.

I have memberships at both Lone Star and Cedar Ridge and I believe Cedar Ridge would fit the bill for what you are looking for over Lone Star.

I can't find the ranges on their website, do they have a 50 yard range?

Dietz hosts monthly centerfire benchrest competitions (100 and 200 yds). They have concrete benches, and a few lanes for 25 and 50 yd targets. The annual Bluebonnet benchrest championship is held at Dietz.

OP, don't know if your previous response to the Dietz suggestion (chaos?) was actually intended to reference The Bullet Hole, but Dietz has an annual membership option that would allow you to shoot when the business is "closed" to the public.

Too long to type out. I'll just say it was controlled chaos, absent the control.

Yes, I misquoted. (Glad it's Friday!) Corrected, thanks!

They do, they just sent out an email about some new set ups including steel out to 70 yards. I believe they have bays that go out to 100.

Thanks for the rec Brix. I went this morning and it worked out perfectly. Appreciate there was only four benches in the bay I was assigned to and you can back your truck basically up to the bench so you're not having to lug gear all over creation and back. May still try a place to shoot since it would be a good bit quicker / closer but I'm ready to sign up for a match now after today's session, so thanks again.

Concur, learned that many years ago and avoid the Bullet Hole like an invitation to Joe Biden's White House!

By the way, Go Gators!!

If you have a DoD ID, check out the Sportsman's Range at Camp Bullis. Its only downside is it's only open on weekends...

Check out mission ridge. It’s right off 1604 loop. Here is the address:

4507 N Loop 1604 West

San Antonio, Texas 78249
