I'm moving out to Waco Texas in July to start a new job. For me this is a total uprooting, no friends no family within 500 Miles more or less. So I'm very much starting over again.
I was wondering if we had any forum members in the area that could help me get a lay of the land and show me the local ranges. Maybe you'll get a new shooting buddy out of it!
I know we have quite a few Texans here. You might want to also post in off-topic or some other section, so more may see your question.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
No friends, well the girls at baylor should be able to keep your attention. lol
Sorry buddy I am on the opposite side of the state from where you are going. As was said there are a few of us lone star shooters around though.

Yes I can be long winded. Yes I follow rabbit trails. Yes I admit when I am wrong. Your mileage may vary.
Keep your powder dry. Watch yer Top knot.

I have a buddy inthe area but im a bit over an hour from there. Surely somebody on the forum lives up that way.
I live in the area. As far as local ranges, there is the Central Texas Pistol and Rifle Club near China Spring, and there is a waiting list. If you are a member there, you also have member privileges at the skeet range by the airport just east of China Spring. For not much more money, there is Chandlers out west of China Spring run by a delightful lady named Alice. Member "Whipple" also helps out at that range but he hasn't been on the site in a while. It's only 100 yards max but they do have an ffl and members get a discount for firearms transfers, at least they used to.Originally Posted by Comrade Mike
As you can see, China Spring is the epicenter of known shooting ranges in this area. The only other one I know of is south of town a ways and I hear it is pricey. Of course, I don't know everything or so my wife keeps telling me, so there may be some other options.

I live south of you down in New Braunfels. Lots of shooting ranges if you are willing to drive a bit. Will PM with information. Centex Bill
