How long has the shooting range been a part of Full Armor? Seven years ago we started this amazing shooting gun range & shooting club for the Houston Texas area! How did you first in this location & what was your vision for starting a shooting range? James originally invested in the gun store. And when the space became available, we seized it for our shooting range area expansion. Our goal was to create the top indoor pistol & rifle shooting area in Houston, Texas. We catered to a tactical shooter, while providing a shooting range for Houston beginners. What was your experience growing up with guns? Did you shoot them at the gun range or in an indoor range? I grew up out in TX learning to hunt deer from my father. He started me shooting when I was very young, probably about five years old or so. We lived near Houston in a pretty outdoor situation, and we shot guns out the back door, at trees, since we were basically in the country (of Fort Bend county). A great Texas upbringing for men filled with gun training experiences! Did you shoot at other ranges in the Houston area as you got older? No, not really. I had never really shot at a range growing up. My parents had a ranch with a lot of outdoor space. With all that property there wasn’t really a need to go anywhere else. But you recognize the challenge for city dwellers who may not have access to country property. They need a place to shoot. Oh yeah, totally. Plus, you eliminate a lot of factors with an indoor range, like situation deterioration. The weather is a factor in outdoor ranges. Safety can also be an issue because there aren’t barriers. Can you tell us about the safety factors and differences? In our indoor range, when someone is shooting beside you, they can’t inflict any harm to you at all. Each lane is completely isolated from the others at Full Armor indoor range. Outdoor ranges often just have a wooden shelf or something in between each lane. That’s not going to stop a firearm. We have two layers of glass. Someone could put a gun down, and it can go off. In those cases, you want to have that safety divider or else you have to hope the gun was pointed straight and not cockeyed. Some places will make the lanes very narrow to fit more people in their range to get more business. We decided to only do ten to keep the lanes wider and safer. That’s fascinating. Thank you for explaining the building material choices that your partnership made. It’s nice that you were willing to incur additional construction costs in order to design the range for maximum safety and so that small groups could be together in a comfortable setting.
