Spousal Shooting Spree? 5/24

[Mr H]

OK, I'm hoping this isn't what you're thinking!!

Next Saturday (rain date Sunday?), since we are unable to head west, the wife has finally decided she is ready to start shooting her own toys!!

So, I'm thinking a half-day at DelMarVa Sporting Clays would be a good way to go.

Anyone else interested in bringing the other/better half out for some trigger time?

 

[Clovis]

DelMarVa sporting clays? Location or nearest town?

Mardela Spgs, I think... Just east of the Nanticoke.

 

[Clovis]

Um, I thought the one nearer was the same name. Mardela Springs is a little far this time of year. Have a good time Mr. H.

 

[BradMacc82]

What if there is no "better half"??

 

[Mr H]

Oh, what the heck...

Probably looking at getting there a little later in the day, so as to avoid the morning traffic.

I'm also open to other options, if someone knows of a similarly low-key place for a [nearly] first-time shooter.

 

[Mr H]

no one else?

I wish, but I am spousal challenged when it comes to firearms. She doesn't have a problem with me doing whatever I want, but she thinks firearms are exclusively Hub's Department, and she won't have anything to do with them.

This is not what I had in mind when I opened this thread. Thought some was advertising contracts on wives.

Mine has been that way, even though she has some that are "hers".

Now she's willing, but also hoping not to be the only one out there.

More "bang bang" for you.

What do they have for target stands at this place? Anything?

 

[DC-W]

Thanks for the offer but the wifey wants nothing to do with guns. I shoot pretty regularly, but I can't get her to the range. Makes me all

My wife would totally be down for something like this. Its finding a babysitter that precludes as from going shooting together....

I can understand that. 4 kids and how many dogs do you have?

 

[Biggfoot44]

Not a problem. You watch Þhe kids and dogs , and send her.

They provide frames and backers (and staple guns), plus they have some steel on the handgun range.

I left some steel there last trip out, it was a cheapie walmart spinning target, but the surplus ammo chewed up the support.

They will let you put a steel target out on the 50yard berm and further. I have a 'walking' steel target I will bring next trip out.

That weekend is memorial day weekend traffic over the bridge will be a bit congested for folks heading there from points west

This is precisely why we'll be getting there about 1:00-1:30 or so

Then you stay at home and use your hand like usual.

Incorrect. See above.
