About Willow Hole
Multi-discipline shooting club in North Zulch, Texas

We're a shooting club located in North Zulch, Texas, serving the Bryan/College Station area.

Membership & Visiting
Visitors are always welcome! You don't need to be a member to come out and watch, or even to shoot a match. Match fees are discounted for members — see each discipline page for current pricing.
Consider becomming a member of WHC. Memberships help support the club and allow us to do more for our shooters, such as range maintenance, or putting on larger matches so we all enjoy our time at the range that much more.
What to Bring
- Your firearm(s) and ammunition (see discipline page for requirements)
- Eye and ear protection (required for all shooters and spectators)
- A hat — preferably wide brim for cowboy action, but any hat helps with the Texas sun
- Water and snacks (there's no concession stand — we're out in the country!)
- Camp chairs if you'd like to sit and watch between stages
- A camera — the range is beautiful, especially at sunrise
