1k would be nice. I have 500 at the Orange Gun Club. 600 if I shut down the north side and close the road.


The two most dangerous places in today's world:
1.) a gun free zone
2.) your comfort zone

To apply to Bayou Rifles, keep a watch on their web site here: https://www.bayourifles.org/index.php/how-to-become-member

Protip - Go here: https://www.bayourifles.org/index.php/competitions/high-power-rifle-division Visit and compete in the matches before becoming a member. In the course of doing so, you'll get put on the mailing list for competitors. The person maintaining that list might (no guarantees, but usually) give you a heads-up a couple of days before the opening of the waiting list is announced on the web site. They tend to encourage active competitors to become members, so if you're competing there regularly, you can catch a break.

However you learn that the waiting list has re-opened, drop whatever you're doing and apply for membership right then. Whenever the waiting list opens, it gets filled in ~3 days then immediately closes again.

Riflesonly is close to Houston but I don't know if they open it as just a range or are strictly for training and competition.

They go out to 1400 yards and I've heard really good things about them.

OTOH, is there another facility called "Rifles Only" besides the one near Kingsville? That's ~250 miles from Houston, sort of an interesting definition of "close to Houston."

I'm sorry the one I was thinking of is in Kingsville so not exactly close.

Kingsville?
That's my Hometown!

Interesting first post,

Welcome to the forum, tell us more about what you want to do and who you are.

While I wouldn't call it "near Houston", Best of the West in Liberty Hill is closer than Kingsville and has a 1,000 yard range.

benenglish - Do you know if Bayou Rifles does any pre-match range time? I'd love to do some competitions but I just moved down to Pearland from Wyoming and need desperately to rezero my AR10 and build a proper drop chart for it (only had it a couple weeks before the move so it's not well established yet). So I'd rather not be shooting in a competition without it dialed in.

Most (if not all) matches at BRI have a 30-60 minute warm-up/practice period before the match. However, according to the club calendar there is a "HP Squadded Practice, 1000 yards" on Saturday the 5th then the "HP 1000 Yards - 60 shots" match the next day. That's the only match that seems to have an extended practice prior to the match.

You can probably get some clarification on that by emailing the club's HP guy: Ben Brooks at highpower@bayourifles.org.

benenglish - Do you know ...

In both this and the other thread, acorneau has provided a better answer than I ever could. Many thanks to him for looking that stuff up.
