I took my 13 year old niece to the range (Sgt. Everett's) today to break in my new XDS (used to be my wifes), my XDM .40 compact (new tirgger job), my XDM 9mm fullsize (new tigger job and night sights), and a few of the other old toys. We ended up shootings 500 (.45), 400 (.40), 600 (9mm), 200 (.380), 200 (.357), and 200 (.22lr) in about a 3-4 hour time frame. The old ammo bag was extremely heavy going in and very light coming out.
All in all she did fairly good for this being her second time shooting. She requested that I bring her along every time I go from now on.
This was our first visit to Sgt. Everett and maybe our last. The lane rental was decently priced but the range was not up to my usual standards. During our 3-4 hour stay they lost power in the range twice, the pulley rope system was kind of ghetto, and the range was hot and unventilated. I haven't been to an indoor range in years and now I remember why I prefer to shoot outdoor or at heartland. All in all I enjoyed spending the day with my niece and shooting but from now on I will drive to Edmond (heartland) or Shawnee (outdoor) to shoot.
