I spoke with Shane Savage regarding what the outdoor range renting process is and he was super friendly and patient with my questions and guided me through it. It is super simple. You reserve a date and time and hopefully it's open, he sends you a confirmation text and you simply show up. He met with me, gave me a wagon with a fold-up table, free paper target (per person), a staple gun, a bucket to collect your brass, and fold-up chairs. It was a smaller range, but perfect for us, There were both wooden target stands to hang your targets (free to use) and steel targets (for $5 extra or $1 extra for more paper targets). My sons and I were the only ones there so it was nice and private. We signed a waiver, setup our own station, put up targets, and had fun safely shooting your weapon(s). The range is about 50yds, but I specifically brought my kids here so they'd get used to a few of our home defense additions at a realistic distance. He does ask that you pick up and collect your trash and brass. I'd recommend bringing water to drink and a trash bag for your convenience. There is a restroom available. It's a field, so there's really enough parking for you. Shane sits in his truck for the duration of your stay and for any questions or requests that you may have later on. The range is $20 to rent for 2 hours per person, but if you come with more people, there's a discounted price. It was $45 for the 3 of us. I know Shane also teaches classes on safety and other courses, but we've never used those services, but according to the numerous 5 star Google reviews that I've read, it's safe to assume he's an amazing instructor. Very friendly and professional. We will definitely be back in the near future. Mahalo Shane!

Visited my parents this past weekend for July 4th so I wanted to check out a range I heard about…read morenear College Station. All of the other rifle ranges I've been to in the North Houston area have been absolutely dreadful so I was hoping for a change of pace. The Cawthon Cartridge Club (CCC) is located near Navasota, TX and about 20 miles from Aggieland. The range is on a huge swath of land, I reckon about +800 acres. They have a 200 yard range, numerous uncovered tactical bays with just a few steel targets, several pistol bays and a 5-stand area for shotgun. The entire area (including berms) was covered in a lush green grass that was freshly mowed. The roads were crushed limestone. The owner roves the grounds in a John Deere Gator UTV but other than that there were no Range Safety Officers. I was only interested in shooting long distance so proceeded to the rifle range. Newcomers are restricted to 500 yards and below until they quality with the owner. There were steel hanger targets every 50 yards and at the 500 yard line, there were about 8 different steel targets of varying sizes. The grass was very neatly trimmed and gently sloped downward. Beyond the 500 yard line were targets every 100 yards until 1200. The shooting area was up on a hill with a nice metal shade structure. There were some rickety old benches but I chose to shoot prone. There was a nice breeze blowing into our faces which really helped to beat the brutal heat and humidity. Out beyond the 1200 yard target was a farmer working a field in his tractor. The owner advised us of this beforehand and asked us to hold fire until he was out of sight. This was annoying as the farmer was constantly behind the target area; fortunately I had two people with me, one to spot my targets and the other to keep an eye on the farmer. Hopefully this is not a regular occurrence. I've never shot at a range this nice before. They didn't have as many steel targets as ETTS in Waxahachie but the grounds were much nicer. Membership is $750/yr but they let me pay only for the remainder of 2016. Guests are $25 each and you are normally restricted to two.

There's a metal folding chair and a bench that's too high for it at the 100 so I just went prone instead. So if you're not a member don't expect much. Otherwise, I understand there's some decent long shots to be had there with covered shelters and such. I don't recall the membership dues but it's several hundred dollars.

This is my experience and as these things go, your mileage may vary. It was easy to get to, well marked, good hours, and open hours I like. The prices are not cheap but this is definitely a sellers market, so I thought it was a deal. The person working the range office/check in/store was superb. He alone was going for a 5 star review. Personable, knowledgeable, patient with newbies. I only tried out the 25 yard range and the 22 range. This is a public range with no range officer, the world's dumbest people will be here. We started with the pistol range. While shooting with three students at the pistol range two deputy Barney Fife's came up and walked right up to the stands they wanted to shoot and then started setting up. They either have a lot more confidence in humanity or have no common sense. I'm confident of the later. Then whenever they wanted they would walk up to their target to do their deeds or stand 3' from their targets to shoot. I'm surprised some law enforcement agency signed off to give them shooting privileges. The tables, trash can and other furnishings were well shot up. The berms looked good but had seen some rough use. I'm thinking they need new furnishings and some cameras to keep up on the idiocy. Next we went to the 22 range to do some plinking. Much better on the range manners, but we were the only ones with a 22. It's more of a short range (25 yards) than a .22 range. Many of those black rifles were awesome hog shooters or tactical firearms, I'm hoping the berms were designed for the use. The tables, cover and trash cans here were far less shot up. We finished up with a round of skeet for everyone. They had two of them and they were in great shape. No one cleans up after themselves so lots of shotgun shells everywhere. Also, we had to refill the traps mid-way so I'm not sure if they take care of that (likely not) or expect you to (obviously). I'm thinking the place is minimally cared for and saving on the staffing. Basically, come and shoot whatever and don't get hurt. Or hope no one hurts you. I'd definitely come again, but likely not on beautiful weekend afternoon with all the brain dead.

From the owner: What makes us different? Let's start with our approach to…read moreteaching. We believe in using the term coaching compared to instructing. We know that not everyone performs at the same level or learns at the same speed. To us, the old term "Firearm Instructors" brings to mind the guy in the red shirt with "Instructor" across the back barking out instructions out on the range. Training is usually run at a set pace, regardless of progression, and students train to pass a qualification based on someone elses standards. While this has it's place, it's anything but helpful when working with new students who generally are already nervous. Coaching means working with students on an individual basis as much as possible to help them learn. Why choose us? With our performance-based training methods we can help develop and expand the abilities of virtually any level of firearms user from beginners to the most experienced. This approach to working with students provides us the ability to coach nearly every discipline, creating an un-intimidating environment, helping to prepare for practically any situation.
