I believe Shiloh Shooting, up in the NW, allows ARs when it's not too busy; they try to limit long gun usage when it's busy mostly due to noise concerns to other patrons. Call ahead, and they should usually be able give you an answer for that time of day.
I haven't had problems at any of the outdoor ranges I've been to -
Carter's Country - off of Treaschwig in Spring
Clear Creek gun range - League City
Pasadena Shooting Club - Friendswood (I believe you must be or know a member) - http://www.psc-range.com/
American Shooting Centers (http://www.amshootcenters.com) is okay. None I have found in the Houston area are what I would consider good, but all things considered, this is the best I've found.
Get a membership at Pasadena Shooting Center!!
Last time I went, was October 2014. I assume no standing, but honestly the last time I asked was a couple years ago. I get grief wanting to go prone between the benches.
Maybe the RO was a FNG. I once had one try to tell me I couldn't carry my concealed pistol at the range. (He saw the muzzle when my shirt slipped up a little while picking up brass) Thankfully I knew the head RO and manager at the time so the problem was quickly corrected.
Or maybe they've had a problem with idiots shooting over the berms and changed the rules. Years ago you could double tap at the rifle line but not anymore.
next question is idpa matches? Anything in the area?
Yes and Pasadena Gun Center is not an expensive place to shoot, either. Never really very crowded and fun on a rainy weekend as well.
Anyone else been to Hotwell's in Cypress? Went there last weekend it wasn't expensive at all-- only $10 per gun (doesn't matter how many folks you bring) and you can stay for however long you would like. Rifle ranges at 25, 50, and 100 yards. Offer skeet, too, if you're into that. Haven't checked out the pistol range yet.
Holy cow, didn't know there was that much hate about that place. The RSOs did all look quite young...
Will give ASC a look next time I head out.
I'm in Pasadena. I usually go to the Texas City Municipal range. I'm looking for something beyond 100 yards. Does anyone know of a range that is good for 200 - 500 yards (or meters) ... ???
Not too far away in the MARKSMAN indoor gun range in South Houston. Pistol and pistol carbine only. I've been going there for years and years. Pretty nice place and if you do an FFL transfer there (ask for Jason) you get a free range day. Once you pay you shoot all you want all day. Your lane is yours until you're done.
Bringing this back up, I'm more than likely moving to the Houston area this summer. Where I am at now in central Texas we have a couple of ranges with "free range" bays, steel, you can set up barricades, what ever you want to work on. My question is are there any ranges within 100 miles with a similar set up? All I've been seeing are traditional 100 yard range "lane" type set ups. I'm open to memberships too.

Checking for active members in the Houston area. Looking for someone to go shooting with on a more regular basis.
I'm an active member in the Houston area (southeast Harris County / Galveston county) and I'll be shooting at the Texas City municipal range this next week.
