I'm always trying to come up with something cool for my wife's birthday, and this time I surprised her with a trip to MGV. She had no idea that's where we were going until we pulled into the driveway. I had told her to dress as if we were going hiking, to avoid open toed shoes and low cut tops. Both of those are a bad idea here, since there's hot brass flying around, and yes, it WILL leave a mark if it finds it's way inside your clothing. Safety first!
We were greeted at the sign in desk by a lovely young lady with bright raspberry hair, who gets us started with the paperwork and selection of guns. Yes, there's paperwork, but it's done electronically, so it goes quick and easy. Photo ID is required, since they're going to be handing you some serious firepower. Yes, you even have to sign the waiver if you're just going to be taking the pictures. Not a problem.
Then we go to meet our range instructor. I wish I was better with remembering names, because everyone here deserves a personal shoutout. They were great, but my memory for names isn't. Anyway, we're fitted for earmuffs and safety glasses, both of which you wear AT ALL TIMES inside the shooting range area. This is definitely a place where you want to work with knowledgeable and experienced people, and our guy had that covered.
The guns are kept safely locked away until you're ready for them, and they're in great condition, no malfunctions whatsoever. She got the five gun package, and two of the five were full auto. She'd never fired a shotgun before, so she chose the pistol grip shotgun, which was loaded with slugs. I think her favorite was the Uzi. 9mm, full auto. You get to keep your targets as souvenirs, and to show off how well you did. But yeah, she had a great time, and everything was done with safety in mind. Anyone coming in intoxicated or high WILL be sent away.
This is definitely someplace we'll want to visit again.
