Yes, I'm a girly girl. But that doesn't mean I don't want to shoot a .44 mag Super Redhawk.
As a fan of John McClane, it just seemed right that I gave shooting guns a go at some point - so when a friend's gun nut BF offered to come along to Marksman's Pistol Range, I jumped at the chance.
I'd never shot a gun before (to my knowledge, anyway... I could have had a Jason Bourne-like brainwashing in my past), so the adrenaline was definitely pumping.
The staff are very professional and super safe and make it loads of fun - closely supervising beginners like myself and taking you thoroughly through safety precautions as well as handling/ loading weapons. The training includes both a DVD safety program as well as a demo and personal instruction.
We did the Trev's Special package for $85, sampling four guns including revolvers and semiautomatics over the course of about an hour, which was perfect for newbs like myself. If your friends aren't quite up to gun toting, they can watch (and possibly film you) from outside the range.
While I'm definitely no McClane, it was a truly unique experience - I won't ruin the ending for you, but the team at Marksman's definitely make the packages super fun! read more
