So I finally got a chance to make it out to the range today!!! I was able to check out The Best In the West shooting range, and let me tell you, its a favorite!!!
Shooting
Today we shot an AR-15 chambered in 5.56, a 1911 in 45 and a .380. All guns functioned reliably with no mechanical issues to speak of. The 45 was shooting very low and we are trying to diagnose the issue. We were able to sight in a new optic for the AR. It’s 3x magnification with a illuminated optic. We had no issues using it on small targets out to 100 yards once sighted in correctly. We burned through a bunch of ammo and had a ton of fun doing so.
The Range
Now here is the part that I am most excited about. The range!!! Best of the west is a large sized outdoor shooting range located just west of Liberty Hill Texas. It features skeet and trap shooting, up to 1,000 yard rifle range, a static pistol range, and most importantly several tactical bays. The prices were very reasonable and the staff was very friendly. We rented a 100 yard tactical bay for our shooting and it was very nice. The berms around the bay were tall enough to promote comfort and the ground was manicured and clean. We were able to sight in the AR all the way out to 100 yards in comfort without having to worry about other people, and we also were able to take some longer ranged shots with the pistols. This range has turned into my favorite range to go to, and I will be surprised if I willingly go anywhere else around here.
