Speaking of shooting... GUNS! Not just for hicks and convicts! Guns ARE dangerous but can be surprisingly fun when used carefully and in the right environment, AKA shooting ranges. Today, Rhi and I decided to try our hand at firearms.
Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots!
I don't have a better picture of this activity because I do not own a gun and they don't allow cell phones or cameras at the shooting range. The indoor shooting range is pretty rad. Costs can vary depending on location but you can buy a 50 round box of 9mm of ammunition and target and rent a lane for an hour for about $25 per person. You can either bring your own gun or rent one from them for not too much. Prices depend on the model and caliber. Most places will provide you with protective eye-wear and ear plugs or ear muffs. If they do not, you have to buy some as it is a safety requirement. There are two different ranges in the indoor firing range: the rifle range and the handgun range. When shooting with a rifle the target will generally be about 100 yards away and when shooting with a handgun it can be anywhere from 5 to 33 yards away.
Now that we got costs and safety out of the way, the real fun begins. You've loaded your gun, you're standing in your lane and aiming to shoot the target in front of you. Bullseye? No, ZOMBIE. Yes, you can buy ZOMBIE targets or print them from your computer at home. They look about like this.
Now when a Facebook quiz asks you if you can survive the zombie apocalypse you can answer with surety: YES I CAN. This is a much better experience than just living out these fantasies through video games because let me tell you, the kick from a real gun is so much more satisfying than even the shotgun from Halo 2. So the next time your buddies want to stay in all day playing COD, bring them out to the firing range and practice for the future. Death to evil corporate zombies!
