DPT--Visit Your Local Shooting Range


One of the best ways to improve your shooting skills is to practice. One of the best ways to practice is to visit your local shooting range. It's fine to set up a target in the back 40 and shoot away, but at a range you will have some significant advantages.

Liability would be one of the biggest advantages. Years ago many people could go out their back door, set up some targets, and start shooting. With continuing growth and homes being built just about everywhere, this increases the danger and the likelihood that someone could get hurt or killed by a stray bullet. Shooting ranges are designed to keep projectiles within the confines of the range which is one less thing for you to worry about.

Second, most ranges offer many different opportunities to increase your shooting skills. They usually have organized practices, weekly or monthly matches, classes, one-on-one instruction, and other valuable classes as well (ammo reloading, gunsmithing, etc).

Finally, the relationships you develop with like minded people, the education you can glean from others at the range, and the "coolness factor" or seeing all of the interesting hardware that others bring out can't be beat. Check out your local range today!
