Or: the family that shoots together, stays together... or, something like that.
Stephanie and I went to Shooter's World today for some shooting practice. Steph has a good eye and control. Shooter's World has a nice indoor range; we've done this several times in the past, the last time was Father's Day this year. No special occasion for this outing, just some more Dad/Daughter time together.
There is a check-in process at the facility, where you have to sign off that you know and will follow all their safety procedures. Leave your ID with them, pay for the time, and you can go into the the range. We gear up with hearing and eye protection, get out the guns, and get ready for some target shooting...
We started out going for the bullseye (red dot, center chest), then Steph went for the next ring up, while I went for the head. Looks like the sights are aligned well, and we each had good control. Not a brag, just stating what the target shows...
Steph wanted to make it clear that state she went for the center, then the 9, 8 and 7 rings above that. She hits what she aims for.
We had a good outing, worthwhile refresher, and a nice time together.
Steph tacked the target up on her garage wall... where you can see it from the street when the garage door is open. Nothing subtle about that.
Nothing says "Happy Holidays" like going through some ammo. ;-)

Sounds like a fun day. I have not been to range in forever.... I once fired a perfect score during a bullseye match with my .45 on the timed and rapid fire stages (25 yards) and put that target up on my garage wall too. I don't happen to like the local indoor range near me, so I tend to wait until the weather is good and shoot for free outdoors at a Fish & Game range.
Hi Earl. Shooter's World is convenient and they have "Ladies Day" on Fridays, where Steph can shoot for free. There is the Phoenix Rod and Gun Club that has an outdoor range about 10 minutes from our place; I plan to check that one out (it gets good reviews). The closes free range is about an hour away for us, on BLM land.
I shot once at Phoenix R & G Club range with my late father in law. It was a really good day - part of a big event sponsored by AZ Fish & Game. At least until he got a bit too close to the scope when shooting a rifle and cut his eyebrow open. He was a very experienced shooter and Michigan deer hunter, but not using a scope. Our day was cut short by a trip to the ER for stitches.
I rode one of the scoots down to the Phoenix R&G yesterday - looks like a good facility.
