The pistol range at HW Training Center has been completely renovated. The outdoor lighting allows for night-time shooting. The lanes currently accommodates 44 shooters at distances ranging from 7 to 25 yards.
HW can accommodate both novice and advanced shooters. Eye and ear protection is required at all times. Both may be purchased at the Range House if you are in need of some.
Our Range Officers are on site to monitor safety and make target changes for you (15 and 45 after each hour). This means you will never have to walk down range! At this time we do not allow rapid fire or certain targets (targets must be no smaller than 12×18 inches, NO FACES, and non-offensive). You are welcome to bring your own targets. Just let the Range Officer know you’d like them posted during the next target change.

Miscellaneous Rules for Uncommon Firearms
We’re seeing more and more unique firearms that require very detailed rules to be made. If you have an “uncommon” firearm that test the traditional definitions and have questions about bringing them to the range please give us a call and speak with one of our managers for details specific to your situation, 281-373-0232. Here are some general range rules for the safest way we can accommodate many “uncommon” firearms.
-AR Pistols, AK Pistols, Mossberg Shockwave Shotguns (and the like) must have 3 reasonable points of contact with the shooter to be fired on our rifle range.
-Some caliber specific platforms will have different restrictions.
– Rifles can be fired off hand (standing) on our pistol range during Monday -Thursday
