Traveling to Houston and San Antonio

[dirtyharry]

Hello,

we are college students traveling to Houston and San Antonio in January to visit some companies in the oil business. We are really interested in trying out a shooting range, but there is such a vast of opportunities out there! We are looking for a place where we can do a little bit of fun shooting with guns and fully automatic weapons. We are very serious when it comes to gun and treat it with the outmost care, so we are not looking to play Rambo. However, we are attracted to more powerful weapons and we have never tried anything except a handgun.

Where can one find such a place in Houston or San Antonio that rents out these kind of weapons to amateurs?

Thank you

Welcome to TGT and the USA.

I am not familiar with those areas but I am sure someone will come along to help. Good luck and enjoy.

Yep, still do according to their website (look under 'Gun Rentals')...

Let us know when you're in town, maybe a few of us can come out to the range and help out!

Cheers! M2

One (1) post.

Norway.

Do we have another Anders Behring Breivik looking for access to more than a Mini-14?

I don't know about your last line but one post by 'dirtyharry' from another country and an amateur wanting to shoot FA were red flags to me too.
If I knew the area ranges, I wouldn't make a recommendation.

...I wouldn't make a recommendation.

I, on the other hand, am a trusting soul.

dirtyharry from Norway, drop me a PM a couple of weeks before you arrive. If you'll be conveniently close to me, I'll be happy to act as your host.

The guy is only trying to shoot these guns, not buy them. Some people are too paranoid.

Agreed, I know a lot of people from other countries that like to shoot when they come to the States. Hell, Waikiki has several indoor gun ranges near my hotel that catered to mainly Japanese tourists.

There is nothing wrong or illegal for a visitor to come to this country to want to shoot FA firearms.

And accusing them of being another Anders Behring Breivik is a bit much. How would someone from Texas like to be accused of being Charles Joseph Whitman if they visited Norway?

Pasadena Gun Center (just south of Houston) rents full autos as well.

The Bullet Hole in San Antonio for fully auto, not sure but I think they are the only ones that rent that tyke of hardware.

In San Antonio I'll agree it is definitely Bullet Hole (here's the website for you, go to the gun rental tab and you'll see their prices and charge per magazine, The Bullet Hole Shooting Complex San Antonio's Best Range and Concealed Carry Resource). And I can understand where they're coming from, if you don't have the opportunity to do it there why not try it in a place that you can legally try it. I remember talking to some British Royal Marines in Afghanistan and we got on the subject of guns and one of the guys was talking about when he had gone to the states to go to Vegas they went to a range out there that rented a lot of cool things.

Oh, if it was FTF that would be completely different! If I trusted his (their) safety manners, it would be on!
Of course I have no FA toys so ....

Have any of you rented a full auto before? I am near bullet hole. Just not sure if $$$ is worth the 5 min of shooting (if that).
