Good ranges in the Waco/Temple area of Texas?

[MatthewVanitas]

I may be meeting up with some DFW friends to go shooting, and we thought the Temple/Waco would be a good halfway meeting point to go shooting.

I was under the impression that there are several good ranges in the area, but not sure which would be best for us. Looking at a relatively informal shoot, so just somewhere that hopefully doesn't have too many idiots or too strict of rules ("only one round in the mag at a time") would be great.

Not a deal-breaker, but if one of the good ranges allows full-auto on a portion of the range, that'd be cool too, as I'll have a MAC by then if the ATF ever gets around to approving my stamp.

There's a range at Tiger Valley in Waco but I don't know if it's open for general shooting or just during their classes.

Range list

A pretty good .pdf off of the Texas state site of approved chl ranges. It should give you a few choices

Matt, The Copperas Cove Pistol Club and the Temple Gun Club have IDPA shoots on the weekends if you were interested. CCPC is a private owned range and not open to public. The Temple Gun Club is member only and you have to be voted in. Dues are $45 a year with a one time $15 processing fee. Of course you don't have to be a member to shoot IDPA, just pay to shoot the match. No full auto allowed in any of the ranges that I know around here.

Other private, but open to the public ranges are:
Weber's on I35 north of Troy/Temple
Stan's Range and Astro Village Range on Hwy 183 North about 2.5 miles apart in Williamson Co.
These are the only public ranges that I know of right now.

That's just wrong, I didn’t say it was wasn't funny.

I know I was thinking it, you just beat me to it.

Waco gun range

Chandler's is a good spot to go and will let you shoot full auto. Its between China Spring and Valley Mills. 254 772 0000 give them a call.
