b"As we were gearing up for a pretty long discussion on modern slavery, we accidentally found ourselves amidst a discussion of local Austin shooting ranges. This is probably because Kevin had recently purchased a new weapon and had been at a shooting range prior to the recording.\\n\\nWe essentially advertise for a few local Austin shooting ranges, discuss our observations of various gun range sightings, and even discuss getting comfortable with the idea of shooting ranges.\\n\\nMaterial from Podcast\\nMusic\\n\\nPumped up Kicks by Foster the People\\n\\n\\nMaterial\\n\\nEagle Peak Shooting Range\\nBest of the West Shooting Range\\nRed's Indoor Range\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nTranscript of Podcast\\n\\nKevin: Hello, and welcome back to another episode of the JK Podcast. If you haven't yet noticed, we do have a website setup at www.JKPod.com, where we host all of our episodes. Please pass that link around as you see fit to do. This week is a little different from previous episodes. Jad and I wound up getting into a discussion about shooting ranges, namely as I had just returned from one before our show. \\n\\nI've been killing stuff all day, so you know. \\n\\nJad: Killing paper targets? \\n\\nKevin: And clay pigeons. \\n\\nJad: Nice. \\n\\nKevin: The episode admittedly turns into a bit of an advertisement for a few of the ranges in the Austin, Texas area - incidentally where we're both located. But despite that, we thought it would be fun to share the discussion with our usual audience. The other voice you'll hear is the co-creator, Jad Davis; I'm Kevin Ludlow - welcome back to our show. \\n\\nI know you're not a big shooting guy - or I perceive you not to be anyways - I'm not either. But that place that I went to today was badass. \\n\\nJad: Yeah, where's Liberty Hill? I don't even know where that's at.\\n\\nKevin: Liberty Hill's a - it's a town that's about - probably about 35 minutes from your house. You just - you take 183 to 29 and you go past Cedar Park and past the toll road, all that stuff, and you hit Highway 29. And if you turn left on Highway 29, basically you're headed towards Burnet, and ultimately Llano, but before you get there, you hit Liberty Hill - it's just a tiny town. And - \\n\\nJad: Oh dude, yeah, it's like right past that state park - Ink's[?] Lake. \\n\\nKevin: Yeah, by Ink's[?]. \\n\\nJad: Yeah, yeah. \\n\\nKevin: Not nearly that far, but - \\n\\nJad: Okay. \\n\\nKevin: - but it's in that vicinity, yeah. So if you went to Liberty Hill and the next about 20 miles down is Burnet, and then if you continue down 29 past that, you'll get to Ink's[?] Lake. \\n\\nJad: Right. Right, yeah. \\n\\nKevin: Run right into it. And so we were probably about - I don't know - half an hour, 45 minutes from Ink's[?] Lake - but anyways, this place there, it was just - I mean normally when I've gone to shooting ranges it's just real tight, it's real controlled. In this place though, you rent these things that they call tactical bays, and literally what it is is it's a 50 square yard piece of dirt that has these 20 foot high berms - just earth and berms - on three of the four sides. You just drive your car or truck right into the thing and it's yours - you do whatever the hell you want. \\n\\nJad: That's cool. \\n\\nKevin: In this case, it was just me and my buddy, and you set up targets, you just - it's basically just like being in your backyard and being able to shoot. So - \\n\\nJad: That sounds pretty nice. \\n\\nKevin: It was really cool, so I think if your wife wants to tryout her shot; it's just a way more enjoyable experience. \\n\\nJad: Well that other place that you found that's up near Cedar Park or whatever - \\n\\nKevin: Right.\\n\\nJad: Leander - how was that? \\n\\nKevin: If you're curious, the other range that Jad is inquiring about is called the Eagle Peak Shooting Range. It's right next to Cedar Park, but is technically in Leander, as Jad accurately stated. \\n\\nIt's pretty good - compared to some of the other ones I had been to, that one was really nice. But you know,"
