Austin Rifle Club
Austin Rifle Club is one of Texas's oldest shooting institutions, founded in 1894 and incorporated in 1928. The non-profit, all-volunteer club operates a sprawling 120-acre facility outside Austin in Manor with multiple ranges supporting Highpower Rifle, Conventional Pistol (2700), Pistol Silhouette, Hunter Pistol/Lever Action Silhouette, Smallbore 3-Position, Black Powder, and USPSA Pistol disciplines. Per a 2021 TargetTalk community thread, ARC also runs a member-only indoor airgun program on Thursday evenings — a tradition documented by active member Dr. Don. This positions ARC among the rare Texas multi-discipline clubs with venue-confirmed airgun infrastructure, though access requires full membership (1,500+ member roster). The club's youth shooting program runs through both ARC and the UT Rifle Club partnership.

Restrictive — confirm rules carefully
EXPLICITLY airgun-positive — TX Local Gov Code groups "firearms or air guns"
Evidence Texas Local Government Code 229.001 statutorily groups "firearms or air guns" throughout, including discharge regulations and sport-shooting-range rules. TPWD authorizes airguns for big game hunting since 2018 (.30+ caliber, 215 ft-lbs minimum). Private TX ranges (Texas Gun Club) explicitly permit "Air Guns/Rifles."
State-level restrictions Standard range rules; TPWD-managed range hours and access vary by site.
This describes Texas state-level airgun law. Rules at this specific range may be stricter — always confirm with the range directly before traveling.

Range policies change — sometimes mid-season. Indoor lanes update caliber rules, clubs revise membership requirements, and public ranges suspend airgun access without warning. Confirm current policy by phone or website before you make the trip.
