how good is this
next week we are having a social club event after work
the plan is to go to the indoor pistol range and have a few shots
.9mm, .45acp .357 and .44 mag I also have organised to have a 12G as well have Hunting loads of BB's for that extra fun ;)
also have a few that have never seen a gun before so it should be lots of fun..
then after to the pub for a few quite ones
yes it helps when I organise it have about 14 that say they are going to it
also have my Mrs going as well so it will be fun
have you guys ever done anything similar ??

Use to But I worked for the Sheriff's Office. So that was easy. Swing shift is harder to get do this now
-
Not for work, but we have done it for church

I've only invited people I work with to go shooting, versus gone as a group. When I lived for 15 years in Chicago it was like locating hen's teeth to find someone to take shooting. Now that I'm in SW MI it is a little easier...just less time to do it.

Nope. Most of the people I worked with were antis. Try as I might I couildn't change many minds.
Have a blast! LOL

When I worked at Thompson Center they had a "Family fun Shoot"
The Production Managers Father had been plant Manager the first time I worked there, so I asked him if we had to bring our own family or could we shoot at his. He had been my supervisor back then and got the joke . ;D

Recently I've been working part-time at a gun shop with an indoor range. There are groups there all the time from work, churches, birthday parties - you name it. The range rents automatic weapons, too. Many of the groups rent the full-auto's to shoot. The owner even rents a Barrett .50 BMG.

.50 BMG in an indoor range? I wonder if anyone notices when the trigger falls.....
-
There are two separated ranges, a larger one and a smaller training range. The .50 is used on the smaller training range and it is closed to the general shooters while the .50 is rented. However, you hear and feel the shot all over the range and shop.
It also makes a big boom in the wallet at $60/hr plus ammo.

Not only do the people from the radio station go shooting together, but several of the staff recently took their CCW training and got their CCW permits together. That is one safe place to be these days. lol

Had some folks of my church get together for a deer hunt a couple times. A couple folks have talked about getting together to go skeet shooting as a Sunday school class trip, but never have gotten it organized.
