Is a First Date to the Firing Range not a good idea?
But let me preface that ...
The gal I'm interested in has mentioned interest in firearms and has taken the Hunter's Safety Course class. She and I are going to the same school and share some similar interest. She knows I shoot, but has never mentioned to me about my firearms, probably out of respect for my privacy. Well, I figured, let's go shooting, but taking a girl out to the firing range seems kind of ... well to put it bluntly ... "You know you're a Redneck if you take a girl to the shootin' range on a first date!" We've gone to lunch on a couple occasions but that was pretty casual. I was thinking about doing something interactive and fun (loud fun). Movies are out - who wants to sit for 2 hours in the dark and not talk?

Yes but only if she is into guns
I took Shelly to the range for our second date and it went very well.

When I saw the thread title in this forum I thought it was a lady asking. I said to myself "that's hot." I want an assertive lady to take me to the firing range.
Anyway, hell yeah, you can't have a bad day shooting, so go for it. BDD |

I gotta put in my $.02
I just got married (7 months ago yesterday ) - and our first date was to the shooting range. We went to shoot trap and skeet at Oaktree Gun Club in So Cal (north of LA). It was her first time shooting shotguns (she'd shot pistols a few times prior), and she had a blast. We've been together now for about 3.5 years and we still shoot together on a regular basis. She wasn't the kinda gal who you'd expect to be out on the range (she went to Berkeley and was kinda left leaning when I met her), but just last week she beat me fair and square at a round of skeet. She also hunts with me now as well (hated the idea at first) and she's pretty good at that as well. And I ain't no Redneck either (per first post) - I'm a fairly successful young (early 30's) professional with brownish skin ... so take your girls shooting and be proud about it. There is a movie called "The Tao of Steve" - and in it the main character "Steve" is telling his buddy something along the lines of 'Do something excellent' in front of your girl - Here is the exact quote: And this takes us to the second rule of Being Steve: You have to do something excellent in her presence, thus demonstrating your sexual worthiness. Best of luck with your dating. Last edited by popndrop; 01-29-2009 at 1:35 PM.. |

ok since no one said it i'll do it. I don't think it's a good idea for a FIRST date. A second is a good idea though. I only say this because on a first date you wanna make a good impression and have some nice convo. It's pretty hard to talk with earplugs and gunshots.

normally i would say yes, but really it depends on who you are taking. on what basis did she bring up firearms?
did you influence it or did she just come out and say "by the way i took a hunter safety course"? if she is open about it, then she will be open to the experience. if you influenced it, perhaps you should wait for the 2nd. but just keep in mind you can't really get to know someone in a shooting lane. afterward you should consider following up the shooting with a 'nice' dinner somewhere. or go the other way, and have a nice lunch/dinner followed with a shooting session. either way, youre lucky to find a girl who shows a positive interest in shooting Last edited by Ballistic043; 01-29-2009 at 5:25 AM.. |

I think that shooting is a good ice breaker, just like having dinner, going to the gym, or anything else that allows conversation with it. And that's really what it's about. You are doing something that both of you like doing, and you are doing it with someone you like.

In this case I'd say YES!!! I mean she made the effort to take the hunter's safety course for gods sake, shell love you taking her to the range since she's obviously interested in firearms.

I took my gf to the range on our first or second date(cant remember). She tried to impress me with a low cut shirt, a bullet went down her shirt and gave her a scar. I felt bad after becuase I knew that might happen.

Second Date, then
We're trying to set up a lunch date at the California Culinary Academy. That will be the First Date.
Okay, firepower is next ... .22LR through .45ACP and everything in between. My last girlfriend coveted my Sig P226, but couldn't shoot very well, but loved that Sig! Even when a hot casing dropped into her cleavage, she still loves shooting! I think she works for the DOJ in Sacramento, now.

My wife, my then girlfriend, really liked my 1911's - but they are a little rough on her, so her favorite guns are now my .38's - they are strong enough to feel like they're really shooting a gun, yet gentle enough to be able to shoot a hundred rounds or so....oh and she really likes the FN 5.7 too. |

What I find interesting with Gals and Guns - their attitude switches back and forth. If they find out I have firearms, first it's "eww! You have a gun?!" then it's "can we go shooting?"
I don't think any my buddies, who aren't interested in firearms, are like that at all. I'm now thinking of combining Lunch and Shooting. I wish I was in SoCal. You guys have all the nice outdoor ranges. NorCal ones are so darn far away from the San Francisco Peninsula.

I'll start looking into the Los Altos Range. She lives in Milpitas, but I'll be doing the driving, loading, reloading, and spotting. If I plan it right, it should be a great day.
We just have to find the right day! Scheduling, scheduling, scheduling ...

from milpitas: do not do take bear creek road off highway 17 and then right onto skyline! i repeat do not do this! bear creek road is bad enough going up but the first 4 miles on skyline are slow slow slow!
you could take 17 to los gatos and then highway 9 to saratoga and on up to skyline...turn left at skyline. nice enough drive but not as nice as skyline from 92 or 84 to the range. its a really nice range. mz

I was just talking about this topic with a few chicks. and it seems like a great idea as long as there is time after and before to get to know each other. Even if she doesnt join a gun club the next day, it will defiantly offset the last 100 "dinner and a movie" dates she's had.
Its not only fun to us guys, but its emotionally, mentally and physically stimulating to women. of course, dont come off like a redneck, this means you may need to remove your gun rack from your 87 bi-toned ford pickup truck for the night... unless she's into that kinda thing.. =P |

[QUOTE=RogueSniper;1961404] Well, I figured, let's go shooting, but taking a girl out to the firing range seems kind of ... well to put it bluntly ... "You know you're a Redneck if you take a girl to the shootin' range on a first date!"
QUOTE] then you should be right at home at Iron Sights Shooting range in Oceanside, there are more women at that place than any range I've ever visit. Most are in their 20's and very good looking! |

Its a splendid idea! As stated before, she has taken the Hunters Safety, so I do not see a conflict in her likes. Plus if she didnt like shooting... what use is she? Something like not liking shooting is a deal breaker for me and many others here. Oh a word of advice... make sure you are the best one out on the range that day.

I don't have a wandering eye, so extra Ladies at the range will not distract me. Well, Ladies (and Gentlemen), I am going to take your advice and ask her out on a date at the firing range. Our school finals will be over in about three weeks so we'll have time to go out. I know she like rifles, and I've got a nice combination for her to choose. Or, if she wants the boom of handguns, I've got a nice slew of those, too.
