Bayou Rifles

Bayou Rifles Inc. started when a group of shooters meeting along Buffalo Bayou decided to form a club dedicated to competitive and casual shooting with safety as the foundation. Nearly 90 years later, they operate as a private, members-only facility hosting sanctioned competitions across multiple disciplines.

Bayou Rifles manages two shooting venues:

• •Juliff Range (George R. Huffman Memorial Range) - Acquired from the Huffman family in 1948, this former National Guard training facility expanded over decades to include NRA-approved 300, 600, and 1,000-yard rifle ranges. The 1,000-yard range is unique to the Gulf Coast region.

• •Addicks Range - Built around 1952 in the Addicks Reservoir, this facility focuses on silhouette shooting sports and operates through cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Bayou Rifles is well known in Texas and the nation for its metallic silhouette program in smallbore rifle, air rifle, and lever action rifle disciplines

In the 1960s, the Addicks Range and Ben Avery Range in Phoenix alternated hosting national silhouette championships, drawing up to 2,000 competitors. The club maintains this reputation and also hosts high power rifle competitions year-round.

The club organizes regular matches across: - High Power Rifle - Pistol (Bulls-Eye) - Smallbore Rifle - Metallic Silhouette (BRASS)

The 2026 waitlist to join is now open. New members go through orientation before full participation. This is a members-only facility not open to the public except during official matches.
