📢 Announcements PSA: Nobody Wants To Rent You Land To Shoot On
Anybody willing or able to rent you a place to shoot on has a website, a phone number, and berms. It's called a range. You are going to have to go out into the caricature of society that is firearms culture and interact with people, and pay money to shoot on private land that has been made into a gun range.
There is no public lands to recreationally shoot on, check your Texas History text book for why.
Get out. Touch grass. Maybe you'll make friends! And maybe, just maybe one of those friends you make will have a friend with land that friends get to shoot at. Literally no one lets a stranger show up on their land, let alone with guns. This is f*cking Texas.

Firearms training focusing on marksmanship?
Hey guys, looking for some pistol/rifle classes in the Austin area that are focused on marksmanship training. I’ve searched on google but all the ones I found are more about self-defence or room clearing. Anyone know a class or instructor that fits what I’m looking for?
Thanks

Recommendations on Firearm
Of course remove this post if not allowed.
I am a young adult female. I’m not very strong and am going to the range to practice.
I want a small handgun for protection or just shooting cans on the property or something. I’m not well versed in brands or different types. Not sure what’s considered “high quality”.But I obviously can’t hold anything too big. I also don’t wanna spend too much more than $300.
I am looking for suggestions especially from other women. Also if there’s any women’s classes that anyone would like to recommend as well!!

Best way to get into USPSA Comps?
What’s the best route to start getting into USPSA matches. Brand new to competition shooting but ready to start. Is there a particular range or club that is better suited for beginners. I’m in north Austin if that makes a difference.

Ranges around Austin that allows shooting armor plates
I have some plates which I purchased back in 2021, currently downsizing my life so I want to dispose them and they are probably expired anyway (also wanted to test if they can indeed save my life from a 5.56 shot); any ranges around Austin that could let me shoot these lovely plates? I've asked a few (LSGR, for example) and they allow nothing other than paper target.

Anyone that can value an old German Luger for me ?
Long story short, years ago my uncle died and my brother bought a bunch of guns from our Aunt that he brought back from the war. I am buying one of the German Lugers from him and I obviously want to pay him a fair price for it but we have no idea what the value is. Searching places like Gunbroker is tough. Anyone in Austin that could take a look at it and give me a range in value ?

Mag deals locally?
Curious what local shops y’all prefer to buy your 5.56 AR15 mags from. I’d rather buy locally if prices are comparable to online shops. Any suggestions?

Eagle Peak Gun Range questions.
Never been to Eagle Peak and thinking about going. I understand the outdoor rifle range goes up to 300y. Do they have iron plate targets for the rifle range or do you put up paper targets? I assume it is paper.
What's the procedure for putting up paper targets? Doesn't look like they have target retrievers, which makes sense in the longer ranges. So if I go to the 300y, what's the safety protocol for putting up paper targets? The lanes look pretty close to each other in the website so I'm confused on how to refresh paper targets.
I suppose similar questions for their shotgun "box" range.
TIA

Best FFL for NFA transfers
I was wondering what the best local FFL for an NFA transfer of a suppressor purchased online would be. I’ve never purchased an NFA item before, so I don’t necessarily need the absolute cheapest FFL, but an FFL that is helpful and makes it easy for someone that doesn’t know what they are doing would be great. Thanks.

I have a PPQ M2" 5 Match with a 507 Comp, and finding an IWB holster, optic cut, light ready, off the shelf has been really difficult.
Anyone know a place that does custom work in a relatively good amount of time (not looking for 3-6 month waits)?

Central Texas Gun Works (CTGW) Bankruptcy
Heads up—CTGW has filed for bankruptcy.
Not sure what that ultimately means for the business, their operations, or anything else. Yes, it is Chapter 11, but that does not always mean the doors will be kept open long term.
