Usually, a guy would shy away from bringing his date to a male-dominated place like a shooting range. There are just too many options there for her. However, the shooting range may bring you some bonus points in the “fun and creative” category.

If you decide you want to introduce your lady to the world of ammo, make sure you precaution her. The shooting range will never be a good idea for a blind date or as a surprise. Let her know that it will be loud and that it will make her adrenaline rush. These two factors combined can either be a good thing and get you laid or be a bad thing and get you snarled at.

After you’ve confronted her and sold her on the idea of going shooting for an afternoon, take her through the process if she’s never done it before. Most likely, she’s in it just to learn about it and do something daring.

If she’s been to a shooting center and loved it in the past, no need to read the rest of this article. Go show her how you use your pistol.

For our new girls, take her to Dixie Guns and Ammo in Pompano Beach to buy yourself some ammo. If the sketchy building and men with guns in their holsters don’t scare her away, you’re almost in the clear. The men behind the desk are actually very warm-hearted and helpful.

Your lucky lady may get the chance to hold an AR-15 semi-automatic assault weapon (unloaded, of course).

The Arizona Shooting Range in Fort Lauderdale is one of the few shooting ranges in South Florida that we recommend you hit up. It’s an indoor range within a plaza, so if she hates the idea of shooting a gun, you can walk next door to the Asian restaurant and salvage whatever is left of your date.
