    Hi all - Moved here about four years ago. Used to take my son to shoot steel plates at Thunder Gun Range in Porter, but some yahoo tore up the targets with an AR and they shut the range down.

    Anyone know of any other range in the Woodlands, Spring, Conroe, or N Houston area that has a .22 rifle steel plates range?

    My son is high functioning autistic, and he gets bored shooting paper very quickly. Steel reactive targets work much better for his needs.

    I did search for similar threads, but all I found seemed dated.

    TIA

    Actually, I believe American Shooting Center has steel targets for pistols.
    At least they used to
    But it's a bit of a drive for you.

    ETA: Sorry, just reread your post, you want rifle.

    Thanks. It's a drive, but they have a "varmint village" for .22 rifles listed on their website. May go check it out.

    The targets I shot were. I was out there in late December.
    Interesting. What were they? Falling plates? Spinners? Trees?

    What distances?

    The guy I spoke to said they just had plates at 50, 100, 150 yards. Nothing reactive. And if they are heavy plates to withstand center fire rifles then a .22 wouldn't move them at that range.

    Trinity is a nice range. They have plates for rifle from either 100 or 150 out to 300. They are not going to move for a 22.

    Their pistol side has 25 to 50 yard steel shilloutes and dueling trees. 22s won't knock them around tho

    Went to Trinity today with a 9mm carbine. Person on the phone said I couldn't shoot it on the pistol side, but the RSO said I could. They had several steel plates, and a swinging gong. Lots of fun.

    Next time I will bring my son and our 10/22.

    Thanks everyone for the tip.
