My husband is in OCS right now. He likes collecting, I like shooting. He taught me to shoot but I surpased him quickly. He will get training obviously. Where do I go? Im mean it would be shameful for him to be a better shot than I am. It is one thing I have prided my self on..Shooting better than most men I know...Well all at the moment. And before you ask I dont not come from a military background. The only military personel I currently know is my husbands recruiter. Is there any civilian use of on base ranges? There has to be something! Ill go nuts:tongue2_1

SOME bases have MWR shooting facilities.

That being said there are often gun ranges that have full facilities. Some waived "initiation fees" or reduce rates for military spouses.

Also, if you have questions about firearms in general:

www.thehighroad.org is a good forum.

Oh, he probably won't get any weapons training to speak of. I was in for 4+ years before I ever shot. In 7 years, I have shot twice.

I wouldn't worry about the "training" he's going to get. Unless he's going SEALs or EOD hes probably going to spend all of a couple hours at the range. The "training" involved in getting your shooting ribbons is basic to put it mildly. If hes going SEALs or EOD theres probably not much you can do to keep up...

I know you're in MI, but in San Diego..I think its called the Miramar Gun Club (right near the base) I tried trap shooting out there, and it was really cheap...I think for a half day I only ended up shelling out like $50 and that included ammo and gun rental (something you probably won't need).

We also have a skeet and trap range here on base in JP, and its run by MWR. I would look into that like MB suggested.

If you end up in Pensacola/Milton, there's a nice outdoor range in Pace. I'm not too sure of the name, but you can look it up once you're out there :) It's only 7 bucks to shoot all day.

The range is pretty good. Great for pistol and skeet shooting, as for big rifles its only good enough to maybe bore sight, max of something like 200yds (not bad). Anybody want directions out there PM me and Ill let you know. I dont know the name either but I can sure get you out there! s/f

While I loved VAQ-129 and the people there, every day was groundhog day. I was seriously considering deploying with some expeditionary bubbas. Fortunately for Al Quieda, I was picked up for STA-21, which was like an early Christmas. :)
