First Time at the Gun Range? Here's What You Need to Know to Stay Safe and Confident

First Time at the Gun Range? Here's What You Need to Know to Stay Safe and Confident

If you've never handled firearms before, going to the gun range for the first time can be both exhilarating and intimidating. To help ease your nerves, we've compiled a list of tips to prepare you for what to expect.

First and foremost, make sure you have all the necessary supplies before heading to the range. Check your stash of safety equipment, ammunition, gun cleaning supplies, and targets. If you're short on anything, many ranges have supplies for sale on site.

It's also important to check the range rules for any restrictions on the types of weapons you're allowed to bring, as well as any ammo restrictions. Steel-cased ammunition is usually not allowed in indoor ranges due to its potential to spark and cause damage to range equipment.

Proper attire is essential when going to the gun range. Check if the range has a dress code, and if not, dress appropriately in personal protective equipment, comfortable pants, and a short or long sleeve shirt with a high neck or collar. Wear comfortable shoes that offer a sturdy stance, and bring your LTC holster if you plan to practice drawing your gun.

Don't be afraid to ask questions or bring a friend who is experienced in handling and shooting the weapons you plan to use. Take some time to acquaint yourself with the layout and policies, and always check in with the range officer.

Remember to always respect the rules and your fellow shooting enthusiasts. Follow common safety rules, such as carrying your weapon in a case, not bringing loaded weapons, and keeping the gun pointed in a safe direction. Be aware of your target and your lane limits, and periodically pick up your brass to keep the area tidy.

Overall, prioritize safety and enjoy your time at the gun range. With these tips, you'll be better prepared for your first visit and able to fully appreciate the experience.
