Taking the lady to shoot for Valentine's Day??

[whitetailbowhunter]

How many of you are taking the lady to shoot for Valentine's day? What are you shooting? Where?

I'm taking my long time girlfriend to shoot at Proteq later this evening. She is beyond excited! We will mainly be shooting my m&p9c and S&W Model 10-7 .38 spl.

If I suggested that, she might actually take me up on it.

And then use that occasion to shoot me!

I'll stick with a Hallmark card and some dark chocolate. Safer -- and given the price of ammo these days, cheaper -- that way.

It's like taking her to see Die Hard today... LOL

My fiance and I spent two hours at the range, Ruger Security Six, Single Six (magnum part), 915 9mm, Ruger 10/22, an old .22 rifle and the guy in the bay next to us let us shoot his AR 15 (she had never shot an AR). It was nice talking to him, said he is from the Indy area and had a range at one point. Sold it, but still collected guns.

Some photos from the range today.
My 9mm target

Myself shooting the 357

Sarah isn't that good of aim with handguns, but since I have a range membership now, that should improve.

Shooting the steel bowling pin outlines (I love the sound of lead hitting metal)

Sarah shooting the 9

Shooting my 10/22, seeing if the red dot needed adjustment.

Sarah shooting the 22 rifle my dad got when he was 20 (he is 60 now).

She actually liked this rifle the best.

This is staged. Guns were unloaded, the camera was put on a timer, magazine in the 10/22 was removed, the other rifle was triple checked for clear, safeties were both on. When I was setting up the camera, her rifle was in a safe direction.

Sarah shooting an AR 15 the guy in the bay next to us had.

Sarah's 22magnum target (three hit, not bad)

My 22 magnum target

Sarah shooting the metal targets with the 22 mag

My 357 magnum target (the other was def. 9mm)

Sarah shot the 357 two times (two shots), mainly so I could get video.

Terrehautian what range were you at today?

 

[terrehautian]

Riley CC from around noon to 2:30

 

[whitetailbowhunter]

Here is our day at the range. This was at Proteq near Brazil. She is also on crutches from a recent acl surgery but wanted to go shooting anyway.

Jessa Shooting my S&W model 10

Shooting Steel

My target left. Her target right.(12"x18") I've only recently started shooting handguns so i'm still working on it (having troubles shooting low). She is one hell of a shot though

I was going ot join Proteq, but with my tax refund, I joined Riley because of the nice bays. You are welcome to come shoot there as my guest sometime.

Yeah i've heard of riley's but as a student at isu proteq is 5$ for a year membership. didn't think i could really beat that. I may have to take you up on that offer sometime!

I would have LOVED it if my fiancee had taken me to the range for Valentines day. For whatever reason, he's gone with his buddies to the range before when we were first dating, but he's never taken me.

I've had to go on my lonesome, and being a social creature, I don't like it.

His reasoning may have something to do with the fact that we both work exact opposite shifts and don't even have the same days off, but it would still be nice if we could figure something out.

Does anybody have suggestions for handgun ranges in the Fort Wayne area? For right now I'm trotting my rear-end out to Roanoke.

Freedom has a nice indoor range www.freedomfortwayne.com if you are willing to pay for it($5 to join for the year, $12/hr or $15/day I believe)! I am told southwest conservation club is nice, but have never been myself. otherwise, I'm in the same boat as you, if you find somewhere better let me know!

Didn't go to a range with the husband but did go to a friend's and had fun shooting my s&w .40 and our new little .410 shotgun, both for the first time. I let my friend and her two teen boys shoot as well as my oldest boy and my 10 year old girl (she only shot the .410). The boys had grins so big I thought the tops of their heads would fall off. My girl said the .410 was the most fun thing she ever shot. I was slightly disappointed my other four kids didn't want to shoot, but they were too busy playing with their friends.

I was also able to determine that, while I do like the .40, I don't like it enough for it to be my carry gun. Can't wait to try others.

Wow, nice range!

 

[Molly Belle]

Aww... that sounds like a fun Valentine's Day. For our Anniversary this month, my husband and I went to Bass Pro and checked out new firearms.

Whitetail, how did you get Don to let you in that area? I have asked if I could go down there and he said no.

That area is the LE/Military range. It was first built to be used for handicap shooters as well and i just emailed him the day before asking him a few questions because my girlfriend is on crutches from an acl surgery. He let us down there because of that alone. The only other time i get to shoot the steel is when i go with my ROTC friends. I wish it was open to everyone though!
