Howdy. Can anyone tell me about Champion Firearms, specifically their indoor range and training programs? Would you recommend them? Thank you

Yes, you can shoot a pistol caliber carbine in their range.Rapier108 said:
I can't speak on their training program, but their range is fine. Shot there many times.
It's pistol calibers only and to .44 Special. IIRC, you can shoot a carbine indoors so as long as it is a pistol caliber, but I'd confirm that with them to be sure.
What other indoor ranges are there in BCS?BattleGrackle said:

They used to be open until 6pm, but that changed when covid started.AgTrip said:
My only complaint is I wished the range stayed open later than 5 so I shoot after work. Have bought several times with them. They're good people, nice and helpful.
Before the Read Building, it was simply under the stands on the student side, out in the open (different time and place, as no way that would fly in this day and age).AggiePhil said:
Used to have a small range in the Read Bldg. under Kyle Field but that's long gone now.

That's why I go right when they open. Usually only 1 or 2 people there and maybe 1-2 more by the time I leave. Most who are there early tend to be experienced shooters rather than people who probably don't know which end of the gun is the business end. Often when I'm there, one of the other shooters is working with an instructor which is always good to see.BQ_90 said:
I like the range, but if it's full I can't take more than about 30 minutes, the air quality just isn't good.
also pay attention to who's around you, there was a guy several years back kill himself. But I hate being in the middle lanes. I'd rather not have people I don't know shooting on each side of me.
But pay attention to noobies, I left one time when this group of students showed up with their girl friends. I didn't like how they where handling the firearms.

Quick, easy, and usually don't have to have someone shooting right next to me.

I seem to recall at least one suicide by rented handgun there. Maybe that was in Houston?
There was a guy that committed suicide there a few years ago. I was there about 30 minutes before it occured.Hornbeck said:
