A Day at the Gun Range

When we all went to Vegas about a month and a half ago, Todd mentioned possibly going to a gun range for fun while we were out there. When we were checking out the local ranges and prices out in Vegas, it just seemed astronomical, so instead I consulted a former coworker, Duffy, who is a gun collector and frequents the range. Duffy volunteered to host us one day at the local gun range instead, so Todd and Alex came down this weekend to visit us and take Duffy up on his offer.

It was quite an interesting experience! Duffy has approximately 75 hand guns and brought a wide selection from a very small .25 caliber pistol to a 50 caliber Desert Eagle. He also brought an AR-15 which is basically the civilian equivalent to the military M-16. Some of the guns had crazy kickback and were incredibly loud! The afternoon was capped watching a father judge through binoculars how his (maybe) 10 year old daughter was doing at the range. I thought it was a pretty unique father daughter activity.
