Indoor shooting





My last few posts have been gun related, so I thought I would share a fantastic weekend experience that I recently had. we were going to visit relatives in Phoenix area and in the past few years I had purchased some items online from the Scottsdale Gun Club. I thought what a perfect opportunity to visit the place in person, online the store looks great but we all know how we make something look nicer than it is using the web and photo shop. I arrived at the club around 10am Saturday morning and let me tell you it's nicer than even the website shows it. The place is big with a great selection of everything you could want gun related ( no shortage of ammo either ). I spent about an hour loitering and drooling over all the guns and gear. I then went on to use the indoor shooting range, WOW this was nice! Wait i forgot to mention the best part, they rent machine guns! You can choose from a large selection of weapons that are fully automatic. It took me about 15 minutes to decide on which one ( they all look like a lot of fun to shoot ) I decided on the MP5 K ( the m60 was out for service, I'll try it next time! ). One of the employees took me back gave me a quick debrief on the MP5 and then we started shooting, holy cow was it fun. After about 3 hours in the store I left, to return the next day for a little more fun and browsing. The staff was very helpfull and answered all my questions about owning a silencer ( my next purchase ) If your ever in the Scottsdale area ( or make a special trip ) it is well worth the visit.
