The closest outdoor ranges to Round Rock, that I know of, still involve a good 20 or 30 mile drive or so from there. The Firing Line, North of Georgetown, is probably the closest. Best of the West in Liberty Hill, and Lonestar Range and Academy a few miles past Liberty Hill on 183 N. Also Eagle Peak in Leander.
the most accessable one around here (Carter's Country) is very unfriendly to shooters (wants you to load one round at a time, even if from a magazine).

I prefer outdoor ranges except for one thing, buffalo gnats!! They eat me alive at my range and treat 99% DEET buy spray like marinade on a t-bone.
What round for horseflies?
We called them Bull Gnats when I was kid.Never heard of buffalo gnats, and I’ve been bitten by quite a lot of different bugs in my life. Are those the same as the little biting gnats? They use to drive me crazy around this time of year when I lived in FL and along the MS Gulf Coast. Avon Skin So Soft worked great against those little demons, but not so great against deer fly, mosquitoes, and chiggers, though.
I don't know too many outdoor ranges that are easy for wheelchair-bound folks to use. Placing targets out for long-range rifle just isn't going to happen. But having access to a nice indoor range makes shooting possible for me again.Definitely outdoors, as Mother Nature intended. Firing a gun indoors just ain't natural. Brass bouncing off the walls of the cubby. You can't see what any of the other shooters are doing. Way too loud. But if that's all you got....
I definitely intend to!I always double-dip on ear protection at an indoor range. Muffs over plugs.
