Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

Yeah, I'll probably just end up spraying them. Cost isn't the factor, but trying to get any "repairs" to match the powder coat would be impossible.

 

[QUOTEmipawlus;8010918]clear creek gun range over off of 646 is like that. i think $5 a gun. and they are all outdoor which means after about 5-10 min of shooting they call a cease fire so everyone can go check/replace targets. good for sighting in rifles.

best shot is meh. they were like 14$/person but it's a very small and SHORT range. they have 3 rifle lanes and a dedicated 22 LR lane on the long gun side and 9 or 10 lanes in the pistol side. you cannot shoot rifles on the pistol lanes and you can't shoot pistols in the rifle lanes. and it seems there's always a wait. they're also really expensive. lower end/cheaply made AR platforms for 1200? fuck you, i can get a decent sig for that price.

arms room is moderately priced, i think it's 16/person or so, and it's a lot more lenient towards any kind of shuooting. they host a lot of shooting courses and what not. their facilities are nice, and their staff is pretty helpful and knowledgable, but never shop in their pro-shop. they are ungodly expensive and should you absolutely need to sell a gun, they give you about half of the value (based on the gun bible) but it's only store credit. you also cannot post your guns for sale in there.[/QUOTE]

There Is one outdoor closer to you. Still don't know the name. Think it's on the east side of 45 by league city?

clear creek.

 

I think you're thinking of the Clear Lake Public Gun Range. I've been there a couple of times and it's as good as it gets for an outdoor range.

 

it's not a bad range, i just like being able to shoot when i want to shoot and not have to wait for everyone else.

Sure is quite in here tonight.

 

I've been outside playing with fire. I was testing to see if oak pellets were sufficient to charge the phone without using a huge quantity.

 

nice. i'm playing ghosts if anyone wants to join in

 

That's a Biolite stove. It has a thermocouple in it that converts the heat to electricity. I was charging my cell phone.

 

Yes. Yes it is.

 

Isn't an outlet easier? Or your truck outlet? Or a solar panel?

 

This is more of a SHTF type device.

 

That is so cool, I wanna buy one. Which model do you have?

 

I here ya, but wouldn't the solar panel be more portable and less conspicuous? Especially WHEN we have a complete break-down and folks have fallen back to defensive postures?

 

Can you generate enough power to boil water and cook your dinner using solar? I'm sure you can charge a battery and use that to power a stove, but how long will that take? I was able to start a fire without any smoke and charge my phone this evening and I could have been cooking dinner as well.

Oh, and I fully expect this to be a toy.

 

They only have one model of stove, but several different accessories. I plan on getting the kettle at some point.

 

Okay
