Did you go to Hotwells?
I’ve actually been there quite a few times. It’s okay if you’re just sighting in a rifle or something but not exactly the best place to shoot. They don’t allow anyone to go downrange except the range personel, so they cease fire every 30 to 40 minutes and it can take quite a while for them to change everyones’ target.
I think they have a couple of pistol bays they use for CHL classes. I don’t know if they let private groups use those or not.
We did go to Hotwells and agree with your assessment that it is not a good place for the shoot.
I’m trying to come up with alternatives, but doesn’t look like the shoot will be in the Houston area ~ all the outdoor ranges around here suck.
