Always depends on the individual, the weapon and the range. But shooting is loads of fun.
Most people (especially beginners) would probably have the best time if the focus is mainly on target practice. Then it's like a cool, real-life video game. :) A.22 would be good. I've heard of guys taking girls to outdoor ranges with assault weapons, and some might love that, but I think it would be a bit much for most people, men or women, on a first date.

Uhh, personally I wouldn't like that.
I'm more of an active person so I like dates that involve (physical) action like rock climbing, paint ball or even sky diving for instance.
For a first date I would prefer a quiet location like simply a restaurant - the classic - so you can talk and get to know each other, this would also give you an idea if they are even into shooting guns and stuff first of all.
If you're trying to impress a guy I'm sure he would think it's pretty "cool"
But for a first date where you guys are getting to know each other, it would be best for a third date perhaps.
I think this would be really fun actually. And it's def unique (at least where I'm from)
You have to tell us a little more about the guy (or girl) in question. Does he like guns? Is he a rough, outdoors-y guy who MAY like guns?
I wouldn't go there unless you have some basis to believe that he'll like it. If he's not into guns at all, it would be miserable for both of you.
I think so...

And I've taken at least a dozen girls to the range on dates. Most common response? "When can we come back again?"

For a first date no I don't think so a first date should be set up as something where you can actually talk to the person without obligating a lot of time then if the date goes well you can continue on just in case I find that I don't really like you or this is all we have in common
I'd rather do it one on one conversation over coffee or brunch something quick just in case I'm not feeling you and we don't actually care for each other's company
The last place in the world you want to find that you don't really like the person and vice versa is that a damn shooting range lolDepends on the person. It's not the best place to have a conversation and get to know each other, so it's good to go someplace else before or after going to the shooting range.
I personally wouldn't want to go to a shooting range for a first date. I think the important thing is to get to know a little of the date's likes first :)
I don't think so unless you already know each other well and you both enjoy shooting. I've been to shooting ranges many times and I can barely hear myself think so I don't think I could have a date and actually talk to her the
Yep, nothing screams romantic love, transcendental union; than shooting holes through the hearts in cardboard cutouts of your brethren. Go for it!
It's a fantastic first date! He can get close to you to "show you how to handle his weapon". 😈
Errr... I mean the firearm! :)Yes it's a very good idea, nothing more exciting then shooting something, helps to blow off steam too.
I asked this very question myself. Most of the people who responded were down for it. I guess it's ok if both of you like the idea.
If you're both shooters and are interested in them and at least one of you have at least basic knowledge of them and how to operate them safely then yes.

if your date looks like this, then noThat depends upon the girl.
If asked whether she prefers clip or magazine and she replies 'belt fed', she is a keeper.Yeah, if you want a more active date rather than just chatting over a meal and drinks.
I tried that for a first date before and it freaked her out. I also live in a very liberal state lmao.
Yeah, I suppose it could be - as long as they are both careful with the gun (s). I'm not ready to die yet. SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY!!! Thanks for the idea.
Why yes, plenty of chances for touching if she's new to it :P Yeah its a good choice
No. I'd say do something simple where you can talk. You won't be able to talk in the shooting range comfortablly
LOL!!!
Hell no! Not sexy or romantic at all 😳
But I'm assuming this is US thing? You people are much different than I thoughtI guess if it is an interest in common, yeah.
I wouldn't recommend it as as place for a divorce settlement.Sure. You can go before or after you take her back to the trailer to clean and cook the squirrels you shot for dinner earlier that day.
Depends on the lady, if she's got a bit of a wild side then yes it can be.
