Howdy everybody,
You guys and gals ready to hit the gun range and practice your shooting skills? We hope so because the Houston Viper Club has rescheduled its 2014 Snake Pit Shootout to Sunday, October 19th at the Athena Gun Club located in the Beltway 8 and I-10 West area from 10a-12n. Then we will be heading across the freeway to Pappadeaux for lunch. We have arranged for an entire range just for our group. And the best thing is that you can shoot anything from a handgun to an assault rifle so please be sure to bring your favorite weapon to practice your aim with. Whether you are a beginner or and experienced marksman, this event has everything you need. For beginners, they do offer private instruction (for an additional cost) if you need it. Otherwise, the range is open!!! There are only 6 bays on this range, so we will be taking turns. Targets are included in our rental.
Don't own a gun? No problem, as you can see by the attachment they have plenty of firearms for you to rent. You will have to pass a quick and simple proficiency test (dropping the magazine and slide & lock the chamber) before they will allow you to rent the gun.
Rentals and ammo are extra and you can pay for those when you get there. We couldn't get that included in our rental fee. But we did have them include the action simulator for our use for those not on the range. It is a giant video screen and they give you a real 9mm converted into a light gun with a CO2 cartridge and you run thru real life scenarios to escape from. Each simulator session runs about 5 min or so. Multiple people can do the simulator at once. With the amount of people we are planning on having we need to regulate the time so that everyone gets a chance. They also have a lounge area where people can sit and relax as well. See some extra guidelines/rules below.
After the range, we have arranged for Pappadeaux located on the other side of the Beltway and I-10 (next to The Taste of Texas) and arranged some reserved parking and a space for us to eat lunch. Lunch will be at 12:30 following the gun range event. Lunch is not included in the cost.
Details for the event are as follows:
The cost to join us at the range is $60 per person payable in advance so please mail your check payable to Houston Viper Club to 12305 Old Huffmeister Road, Cypress, TX 77429 or you can pay via PayPal to president@houstonviperclub.com - be sure to note it as a gift so we don't get charged a processing fee :-).
