My daughter's boyfriend is suckin up to me.
For my Birthday, he got me a certificate to the Gandor Mountain "Simulation gallery".
I'd never even heard of Gandor Mountain before. Baiscally, it's like a Bass Pro shop, with a Live Firing Range and a "300 degree view" Simulator...of actual senerios a person might encounter, when carrying a Conceled weapon.
I've been to quite a few training seminars, and am a pretty good shot with a pistol. But, I gotta say...I learned some very important stuff from these simulations. A couple things that were never addressed in my training seminars. What an eye opener.
Got shot in the back once. Never saw it comin....
From there on out, I got the message.
It's 300 degree panoramic for a reason. Pretty awsome experience.
Definately worth the 45 bucks for 30 min. of the 300 degree simulator. And, I took away a couple VERY important lessons.
You have your choice of either a Glock, or a Beretta 92. The guns are the actual weight and size, and have almost, the actual Kick of the real weapons.
It was a pretty awsome experience, and a couple new "lessons definately... Learned".
The actual Live Fire Gun Range, which we did later, is State of The ART! 25 Bucks for an Hour. THEY supply the ear muffs, glasses, and ALL the targets you want. You just go out and get another one. They are right behind you IN the range. A range officer is present at all times, IN the live fire Range, and....in my case, in the location I was in, Extremely competent, knowledgeable, and friendly. One of them even let me fire his new FNP .45....16 + 1!!!!!
Holy Crap!! My HK USP .45 can only hold 10 + 1! I mean Seriously!!! 17 Rounds, in a .45 normal size handgun!!
As you have gathered....I was stoked by the experience, the lessons learned, and just the whole experience. Check out the link below, to see if you have one of these great places near your hood.
Ya know....I sorta like my daughters Boyfriend....:cool:
