Hill Country Rifle Range

It's been ages since I have been out to the Range,I was just checking to see if it was still there. Richard has always been a little on the strange side,well maybe a just a little more than just a little.But that said it was a good place to shoot if you knew the regulars and I did ,being in the Austin gun trade for years.The rules seemed to change depending on Richards state of mind at the time. No rapid firing was a given,That seemed to set him off,but Hill country had the longest distance of any of the three area ranges at the time and was the the least crowded.And as long as you paid for each gun you brought you were pretty much left alone.And best I remember you didn't let your brass hit the ground if you wanted to keep it.selling used brass was a sideline I believe. more

I used to live here and never once have had anything but the highest respect for the owner. I learned how to shoot anything and everything. I had options to observe and even participate in competitions. The technique here is Darwinism or survival of the fittest. Richard also has a high moral code and work ethic. I believe in the comradery of working towards an evolution, nothing less than through absorbance and observation of religious holy days and his personal attention and blunt advisement of spiritual text. Pros: Awesome opportunities for education fulfillment Cons: We are closer than ever to 2012 more

Going to this range requires 2 people... one for the shooting, the other to watch the shooters 6. The owner is beyond crazy. went a couple of weeks ago and saw that the place was closed due to the future end of the earth. Another time i went it was closed again due to caucasian anglo saxon jewish new year. ya cant make this stuff up. when i actually got to shoot one day, the rifle range is actually pretty good. The targets varry at distances and the furthest is at 400 yds. but after my shooting mr. owner comes back saying that i didnt pay for a gun. I asked him what he was talking about and he said that one gun sounded different from the actual one i was shooting. after almost getting punched in the face by this man, he demanded that i pay him 10 dollars for sneaking in a gun. i unwillingly paid and left. DO NOT GO TO THIS RANGE! Pros: decent range Cons: bad service, crazy man. more

I wasnt there 10 minutes before i decided to leave and never come back to this place. Cons: Everything more

Advantages: Pros: metal targets Cons: no restrooms, no pistol faiclities, crazed owner, never certain when open more

Richard is ok, he's a little ecentric though. You just go and follow the rules and shoot. more

Took my son to this range on 7/25/2006 after calling and calling, then finally getting a ""yeah"" answer around 10am. After arriving at the range we waited at least 15 minutes for the owner to stagger down the hill, smelling strongly of stale alcohol. I gave him $20 for the $16 charge, he said he didn't have any change, so I told him to keep the change. He told us ""you might want to fire your glock over at this other range, you can shoot at the metal targets from the table"". We thanked him and he then stagged back up the hill to his hut. Pros: Was close Cons: terrible management, poor communication skills more

This place is literilly a dump. The first time I went there i thought it was the county dump. The guy who runs it is a real ""eccentric"". Roumer has it that he lost 100 acers in a court case with the IRS. I do not know if this is true or not, just be informed. more
