TEXAS’ OLDEST & LARGEST GUN DEALER

I had a great experience at Carter's range today. I shot skeet and I had the professional assistance of Keith he was very helpful and I recommend anyone to visit this range and they have tons of Shooting Supplies overall a very good experience! Ask for Keith when you're there he was very knowledgeable and gave me tips that helped me and I've been shooting for years already.

I have enjoyed using the Carters Country's Treaschwig location for over 40 years. My wife, daughters and I have all completed our CHL classes at Carters Country and these were some of the best classes I have ever attended. As a certified handgun instructor and an NRA, National Range Officer I understand the rules and guidelines that Carters Country is trying to enforce on their ranges. I must applaud the high level of safety they maintain for all of their customers as this is a huge undertaking. In several instances I have witnessed a number of in experienced gun owners coming into Carters Country with a passion to learn how to shoot. The staff has bent over backwards in working with new shooters or inexperienced shooters trying to teach them gun safety and the correct way to handle a loaded gun while on the range. I have never felt uneasy shooting on any of the ranges as their range officers have always been professional and operated with our safety in mind.Thank you Carters Country for a great place to enjoy shooting!

I've been a Carter's Country client for several years. Have bought firearms at the Spring store and I've hunted on their whitetail ranches in Laredo and Kerrville. Always great people to be with. I'm going to Cotton Mesa for an elk hunt this year so I went to the Spring location for advice on ammo and to fine tune my rifle. This was my first time to use the shooting range. Was a great experience. Nice facility and helpful range guides.

Good outdoor range and I like the fact they pause every 20min to clear the range and allow people to change their targets. I also took the CHL class and the instructor was good.

First class operation! I've been buying guns From Carter's Country since 1995. It's always been a pleasure doing business with them. I Iook forward to buying more guns from them (as long as my wife doesn't find out) in the future.

Staff mistakenly made offers that they shouldn't have. In an act of good faith owner honored what was originally offered. You can't beat that for customer service. I've been a satisfied customer for 23years.

When I want an outdoor range, this is where I go. It's somewhat far from my house, but the place is good. The rangemasters are always on top of things making sure everyone is safe. The costs for shooting are okay, but it seems the gun prices are a little high (I haven't checked them out in a few years though). I got my CHL here a few years back.

The safest outdoor shooting range in the north Houston area. All rifle stations are outfitted with spotting scopes. Helpful staff too. You may want to bring a staple gun if you don't like clothes pins.

Huge selection of guns, ammunition and accessories. The staff is knowledgeable and happy to help you and answer any questions you may have. The shooting range is outdoors and accommodates shooters at 25, 50 and 100 yards for target practice. They're committed to safety and treat you the same whether you're a novice or war veteran.

Love this place! I really like how tucked away it is, had a buddy and I not been in the area just scouting around we never woulda found it! Staff is always friendly and never gave me any problems! Great atmosphere and you feel like you really are the staff's number one priority!!! Check it out!!

Just want to know if this place buys firearms? I have 2 pistols I want to sell 1 is a smith and Wesson 45 and the other is a sig 380. Both only used for fundamental class and then put up in their cases. Brand new pistols.

Been shooting here since 1987. I tend to prefer outdoor gun ranges. Staff has always been helpful and they maintain proper safety techniques on the firing line. When I was a beginner with handguns, Billy Carter was very helpful & patient when he taught me the basics of shooting a pistol within a few minutes.I'm now an Executive Protection Officer and I still practice my shooting skills here to this day in 2020. God Bless The Carter Fam!

I went in yesterday to purchase my first gun. As a woman and beginner, I was pretty intimidated by the huge selection however Don/Doc (sorry can’t remember) was a huge help. He was very friendly, explained everything to me, and helped me choose the right gun for me. He was very patient and his customer service was impeccable.

I’ve been to this location twice now; once to shoot and train with a new pistol I purchased elsewhere (which had to be sent in for defect repair), and a second time yesterday to purchase a replacement FOR that pistol! There was one in particukar I was looking at and the staff there was more than helpful each time I went, answering questions and giving me tips on handling, aiming, and licensing. I will definitely return to them for my gun needs from now on, and recommend all to go there for your gun needs as well if you’re in the Spring, TX area!

Looks really nice, has a woodsy feel to it that I appreciated. Plenty of amenities free to use such as a spotting scope, sandbags, and rifle rests. The bench was comfortable enough. I have two major gripes here though:1. The method used to hang targets is not stable at all. It works fine for people blasting away with semi autos, but for people shooting groups it just doesn't cut it. Having to wait for the target to sway back from being blown by the wind to take my next shot only to have it be blow forward again was frustrating and ruined what would have been the smallest group I've ever shot.2. The targets are overpriced and you can't bring your own. There's no excuse for this. Never been to a gun range that wouldn't let you bring your own targets. This is an anti-consumer practice and an obvious money grab. I'm sure people (including myself) just deal with it because it's the closest range in the area, but it's really not cool. The range I went to before moving to Spring charged $1 for 3 targets, whereas Carter's Country charges 75 cents per single target. Outrageous, considering I can buy bulk packs at Academy for way cheaper. I'd rather pay a slightly higher range fee and use my own targets.Other than those issues, my time spent there was great and was treated nicely and respectfully by all the employees I interacted with. Would recommend.

Facilities are nice enough, though I wish they would keep the chicken wire they use to post targets in a little better condition. Sometimes it's so shot up and warped that it's difficult to attach my target on straight. It'd also be nice if handgun fees weren't so much, especially since they charge either per gun or per person (whichever is greater). $30 for 2 people + targets or I can easily go over to Hotwells, who charges $10/gun flat rate with nicer handgun facilities.RSO's all come off as knowledgeable and do a great job at keeping everyone safe and enforcing the rules.I haven't purchased any firearms here, but they have a great selection and the ammo prices are pretty fair compared to other places around.

Typical of knowledgeable firearms enthusiasts - "hold it like this, sight like that, and proper...". I'm not a gun Smith, nor do I shoot in competition, but I know them inside & out, for the most part. That said, these guys are good - very knowledgeable of firearms & their inventory. Quick visit, but wish to probably buy soon. Prices are at & just below the retails I've watched.God Bless Mr. Carter. I just heard we lost him - he was a great guy. Sorry for your loss! *11/16/18

It looks to be about 36 yds. Again, for the average guy just blasting away it’s not a big deal...but people shooting for groups will be frustrated when their scopes with a 50 yd. parallax setting that shoot half MOA or MOA at an actual 50 yard range open up to 1.5 - 2 MOA at this range. It’s advertised as 50 yds. on the website, so this would constitute false advertisement. Other than those issues, my time spent there was great and was treated nicely and respectfully by all the employees I interacted with. Would recommend.

I’ve purchased a few guns from here. The range is the good. I gave Carter’s another shot and it was and enjoyable experience.

I shot 50 yards on the rifle range on Sunday afternoon. I thought the staff were all friendly. The frequent ceasefires and the crowded range lent to overlooked safety factors such as handling of rifles while people were changing targets. I also failed to understand why I can not post my own paper target. I have specific targets I like to use to keep track of my shooting. I do believe in rules but this one is plain silly.

Carter’s Country History

THANKS HOUSTON FOR 57 GREAT YEARS!

Bill Carter was born in a small North Carolina town in 1934, and his wife Ellen was born in New York City. Bill’s love of firearms began at age eleven when he purchased his first gun, a used Winchester 22 pump, with paper route money. His love for guns and hunting continued to grow from there!

A veteran of the North Carolina National Guard and the Marine Corps reconnaissance unit, he was sent to Korea about the time of the cease-fire and end to the conflict. He liked the marines and considered a career there. But he couldn’t become an officer because of his lack of education. So he left the Marine Corps in 1956 to get a couple years of college, but he never went back. Read More →
