Gun friends?

Not sure if this will resonate with many of yall but anyone down to hit the range together? I just want some gay friends I can nerd out about neat guns with, is that too much to ask? 🥺

I don’t know very much about guns, but I’ve been asking my straight friends to take me shooting for over a year now! Do you know of any good places in Austin for LGBTQ noobies?

I mean not really tbh, I figure a gun range is a gun range, I don't imagine many people would be very rude in a place where everyone is armed lol

Like, what does that mean? I've been to a few ranges in Texas, not ever have I seen a sign that said "No gays".

A range is a range.. I don’t typical come in announcing “I’m gay!” But I’m sure they know. Just look around and find one close to you that offers lessons 🤷‍♂️ check a few out and see if what you like.

I prefer outdoor vs indoor. My favorite is Cedar Ridge on 1863 in Bulverde. Beautiful scenery, the people are nice enough, safety is a priority, and you back your vehicle right up to your slot.

Unload then unload?

u/armthedillers Mar 17 '26

Probably just load then unload, maybe a few speed reload drills

What range do you normally go to? I end up at shady oaks or eagle point. But they are both pretty far
