#outdoor range

A couple weeks ago I ordered my first gun, a Walther CCP. The only portion of this was very easy, but I ran into a few small snags along the way when dealing with the local FFL dealer I chose. I could probably go into more detail on that, but I’m not sure I find it interesting enough to write about. Suffice it to say I had a bit of waiting, a bit of calling to smooth things out. And they did smooth, and I got my gun.

I had wanted to go shooting with my friend but as I wasn’t feeling very well towards the end of the week I decided to not make plans with him. And when Friday rolled around I was kinda glad I didn’t because I think I needed a lazy day of doing next to nothing.

So today I decided to go shooting and, finding the range I had planned on going to had a ventilation problem, decided to go where ventilation definitely wouldn’t be. Outdoors. Many twists and turny roads later, I could hear the unmistakable sound of gunfire, and I knew I’d found the place.

It was a beautiful day, and I felt happy and at home as I walked through the parking lot to pay for my time.

I’d bought 200 rounds but only ended up shooting 150 or less. The process at an outdoor range is different from an indoor. You take breaks so everybody can reset their targets, if you want, rather than being able to change out your targets whenever. I enjoyed the breaks, and I was glad I’d bought extra peel-on targets so I could see where my shots went.

The last time I changed my target, I went on to shoot a magazine full and got a great group, mostly on the left-hand side of the target, all in or around the bull’s eye. I was happy with that, and decided to pack up. Well, it was getting dark anyway! And everybody was clearing out.

Observations From a Shooting Class

I completed another training class yesterday and I decided to write what I have learned from fellow classmates. At all times we are all novices and experienced – skills HAVE to be practiced to be sustained. We have a great mix of experience among our classmates and goals for taking the class.

Jason was quiet and unassuming, but easy going. Jason had been shooting only since December, he decided…

Don’t Go the Distance

We all want to push the limits, to see what we can do. The trouble with shooting at a longer distance before establishing strong fundamentals is that even though you hit the target at 15, 20, 25 yards, you have no idea how you did it. Inconsistent results can frustrate new shooters and be discouraging. Mastering the seven fundamentals of marksmanship is more important than shooting at a distance,…

Let’s take this Head to Toe…

Cardinal Rule: Comfort is #1 while shooting.

Hats – Absolutely! Outside, it will protect you from the sun and elements; inside, the hat will limit the amount of lead and gasses that get into your hair. I prefer Velcro backs, that way I can take the hat on/off around my ponytail easily.

Ponytails are IN! The less hair to get in your way, the better. Pull your hair back, up- whichever is the most comfortable for you.

Makeup. Keep it simple ladies. Liquid foundations and indoor ranges do not mix well. Mineral makeup is best suited for indoor ranges. One you will look fresher and it is healthier. Liquid foundations will trap the air in the range on your skin (yuck) and I don’t know many women who like to wash their faces after being at the range before they leave the range. Waterproof mascara and eyeliner, and matte lipstick or a little bit of tinted lip balm. You want nothing that could be sticky on your skin. Best thing to do is wash your face after your range visit.

Earrings. Studs are fine but dangles may dig into your skin. Hoops may pull as well. It is best to remove any earrings before putting ear muffs on. If using ear plugs, no need to worry about your earrings.

Tops. Higher necklines are best for preventing the hot brass dance. Hot brass casings will eject from your firearm and travel as you are shooting. Gaps in your top are the perfect place for these scalding hot casings to land. You can change tops in the bathroom if you are dedicated to your cute blouse. Best range wear tops? Pro-gun, pro-women t-shirts!

If you are going to an outdoor range, outdoor performance shirts are fabulous. Sun-protection is highly important.

Bras. I think it goes without saying, you should be as comfortable as possible while handling firearms. Keep the restrictive, pretty, painful bras for another time.

Pants/Shorts. Unless you are doing a ton of kneeling shooting positions, you do not need tactical pants. Lightweight pants with cargo pockets are wonderful for indoor and outdoor ranges. Again, comfort is key. If you are doing kneeling shooting positions, get a pair of tactical pants with reinforced knees and consider knee pads.

Belt. The reason to wear a belt is to carry a holster. First, check with your range to make sure using a holster while shooting is allowed. A good gun belt is rigid and at least 1.5 wide. Most pants will accommodate 1.5 belts.

Shoes. Close-toed is the only way to go. Remember the hot brass dance? Keep your piggies safe and burn free, cover them up. Do not get a pedicure then come to the range.

Safe Shooting, Jessica

Always feel the thirst as if male person\subliminal self has got the gun for the first however in his\her assist this is the uniqueness in relation with this give-and-take but the most important things in re all is the safety, i refuse hyle which hobby yourselves are playing whether it's a cricket ball a football or a Gun Range.

The work of the range officer is in esteem after in consideration of en bloc the shooters which are present at the file fire range so it is to make sure that the chances of all and sundry adversity are reduced to the lowest extent.

When shooting in outdoor range making it safe requires more mental origination for the office because unlink indoor range, outdoor ranges are to make sure that any seethe azure any hard metal splinter is not lying behind the destination or the target should not be made of the rock so that the bullet must not repulse which could end inbound nothing but disastrous situation except that ultramodern Indoor Gun Range Miami the risk speaking of ricocheting of shot is much lesser.<\p>
