have you guys ever taken a date shooting? I don't mean your gf, I mean maybe 2nd/3rd date activity type shit. cause I have and boy do I have stories.
>tell chick I'm into guns
>woah anon that's so cool I've always wanted to go shooting!!
>tell her we can go next weekend
>bugs me nonstop about what she wants me to bring
>day comes
>hand her a 9mm pistol I have with a compensator and heavy guide rod for as little recoil as possible
>shoots it once
>horror washes across her face and puts the gun down immediately
>"it's too loud"
>i made her double up ear pro and everything ffs
>refuses to shoot anything for the rest of the trip
>b***h I paid for 2 hours and you made me bring like 6 guns wtf?
>shoot at stuff myself until she's starts up with the can we leave now??
she's the one that wanted to come ffs
i don't think I'll be doing this again.
maybe I'll invest in a 22 pistol or something so I can give that to chicks next time idk
you don't have enough rizz
indoor range?
AI slop slide thread
headshoot her
devour her corpse
i think a lot of girls are like dogs in the sense that they feed off your vibes. guys are sometimes like that too but its rarer. i digress. anyway she probably didn't *really* care that much about guns but she saw your excitement for guns and she wanted to be a part of that. then she actually fired a gun and it put her in shock. and then you probably weren't attentive to that so she was probably a little miffed over that.
but yes i think i'd start someone off with a .22 or a .22lr. also if you like this girl i would give it another try with her because the whole "gets excited about your interests" is imo a good feature to have
Most overrated thing you can do.
Take someone you don't know to an activity that scares them, is dirty, is loud, and cramped where communicating is hard to do.
Hand someone that mainly shops and eats food others prepare for recreation a deadly weapon.
You dont know them, have not screened them, and think its fun they are a hazard to yourself and others that didnt choose to bring them to the range.
It costs a lot to both rent the lane and whatever else, and use a bunch of ammo. Probably 2-5x a normal date depending on calibers. Yet they dont appreciate it, feel like it was something they did for you, and now want you to make it up to them doing something extra girly or expensive.
Yeah uh no. Get a friend instead.
were racemixed ai female
did you take her to an indoor range anon? because if so, she’s right. even with double plugs and muffs I feel like I’m getting hearing damage anytime I go to one. you gotta take people to an outdoor range on a nice day.
>loud
>cramped
>nerve wracking
>bystanders can easily ruin the date (fudd aggro)
>relatively expensive
>cant hear eachother
maybe if you were going to an archery range
>didn't use a 22LR for the first time
(face_palms)
If you're gonna take someone shooting, especially a date, someone new, take em to an empty outdoor range, gamelands, or a place out in the middle of the woods and bring some .22s and maybe a 9mm or shotgun. You're not going there for training, you're going there to have fun and enjoy yourselves, so bring the stuff that's enjoyable to shoot, especially for someone new. If they truly have no interest, then no harm done. If they do, then you can up the ante a bit. Biggest caliber I'd bring is a 9mm or 20gauge first time around. .32acp or .25acp is a nice intermediary between .22 and 9mm.
>not bringing a .308 battle rifle that weighs 10 lbs to show them how much of a chad you are when you absorb the recoil without any issue
You do this at the end, making sure she's got earpro on, after saying, "You wanna see something cool?" If she's enjoyed the rest of the time and you think she can handle more.
Not arguing the good feel of a steel framed .45, but it's definitely not a fresh blooded newbie cartridge. As mentioned above, if you're getting the implication that she can handle more, bust it out and see how she likes it. Otherwise, just keep it in the bag. Most people, gun people or not, enjoy shooting .22 or .32acp. .45, while it admittedly does feel nice, feels nice because as people who understand firearm feel and shooting and have a range of experience in calibers, we know how others feel I'm comparison and a .45 steel frame feels decent most of the time.
>. Biggest caliber I'd bring is a 9mm
a metal-framed .45 is the best choice for women. it has a fun, powerful kick that is mostly absorbed by the weight of the gun. ask any girl whos gone shooting what their favorite gun was and they will always say the .45
So I took my wife shooting for the first time a while back. Ran some 22lr through a neos, ran some 22lr through a h&r doubleaction 646.. put the 22 mag cylinder in and let her shoot some of that. Ask if she wants to try 1911. She does “wow that kicks more!” Shoots 3 more mags worth.. she did not try 45 Lc or 454 through the Alaskan. But she didn’t have a bad time.
This. I’d also recommend starting at home. When I taught my 2 brother in laws, I started the lesson at home first, where they won’t be distracted. Once you’re at the range with guns out n ready, their mind is gone. At home, we go over range rules, muzzle safety, and basic function of the gun. So far we’ve had no issues or accidents.
>Biggest caliber I'd bring is a 9mm or 20gauge first time around. .32acp or .25acp is a nice intermediary between .22 and 9mm.
Bad advice f a m.
Start with a .22, for sure, but part of the appeal of shooting is the recoil and report. Both the girlfriends I've taken shooting enjoyed my 5.56 and 12g more than my .22 even on her first range trip. The larger guns are more exciting, more dramatic.
Of course, if they find those calibers too loud or scary then drop back down to .22 or 9mm but give them the opportunity to try something more fun first.
Definitely support the outdoor range/innawoods sandpit advice.
Indoor ranges a shit unless that's really your only option.
Try taking her shooting? Just present it casually, like handling a gun is a basic thing she ought to know how to do if she's going to be dating a gun owner and spending time at your place.
how do you convince a female to go with you and your gun to the middle of the woods with no one else around? I never tried it but something tells me a woman would just think I'm planning a murder.
Confidence, and most women are stupid.
Pro-tip: most women don't like guns, and if they do, it's only to get attention or to attract Chad
I paid for 2 hours and you made me bring like 6 guns wtf?
moron. Should've gone for a quick 30min and then drinks afterward. How big were her breasts?
>start her on 22
I mean it's not a bad idea, they say that for every new shooter but it's just not the same. 22LR felt closer to shooting a BB gun to me than it did a 9mm.
Anyway
I've taken each of my GFs shooting, they usually either dislike it or they're "eh" about it. The only one that actually enjoyed it and was not intimidated, but rather shot very well, was the woman I went on to marry. We went back shooting several times.
>her least favorite gun of mine: AR-15
She complained it was boring
>her favorite gun of mine: 20" Ithaca 37 12ga
She has since claimed it as her own.
My girlfriend claimed my pocket knife, my sweaters, and wants to wear my uniform. Definitely not taking her shooting now. She will try to claim my M2 or some shit. Gotta put her in check.
The "Women in Armor" thread archived, so I'll post it here instead.
A favorite of mine from many moons ago.
A woman that is up for range time could turn into this eventually.
Right before he rolled on to his stomach, I really had an Oberyn Martell flashback.
should have given her a 10" 308 with muzzle brake lol imagine dating women and putting up with their moronic brains instead of being a homosexual and having a masculine bromance. Lmao even fricking women is moronic I rather suck pp and be a gay and happy chad lol. Mgtow and all that.
My gf, now fiancé, loves guns now
>start dating
>just starting to get into guns
>take her with my friends to range
>buddy that just got out of the military joins us and decides to go nuts
>bring a few of our own guns, buddy rents a bunch more
>start her with a 10/22 since she’s never even seen a real gun before
>she loves it
>over the next hour or so she gets a buffet of guns in increasing magnitude
>10/22, 9 mil pistol, .357 revolver, AR15, .410 judge, desert eagle, then finished off with a full auto AK.
>the fire in her eyes was scary
>leave the range and she exhausted from the adrenaline leaving her body
>still take her to the range every once in a while to keep her familiar
>she doesn’t even mind if I leave my guns laying around the house
Marrying her this year. Wish me luck boys.
Godspeed, anon, hope to achieve the same someday. o7
Get a brown girl. Best decision I ever made.
Gross
Enjoy being pegged by some pilled up white girl
Nah, only low-test homosexuals like you attract girls into that sort of shit.
Relax, you'll never have to worry about attracting anyone
This guy settled for a brown and he's regretting it lol
Relax, you'll never have to worry about settling for anyone either
You're both so cool, wow
There are normal white women out there. They just don't live in cities, and get married before they're 23
>themostracistmanaliveandhisbrowngirlfriend.jpg
Godspeed colonizer bro
Literally me. I love brown women with a passion yet hold radical opinions on race in my head. Funny thing is, my fiancé and her family are legal immigrants that came to the states a decade ago. She paid and earned her own citizenship and works very hard. And she fricking despises illegal immigrants and has some pretty hot takes on other minorities. Almost as if it’s a class thing, not a white thing.
>almost
>verification not required
Indoor range was your first mistake. Destined to fail.
This. The vibration is nuts even with double ear pro. But outdoors is comfy as hell with more breathing room.
Yeah, for a first date even.
First conversation I had with her was a shouted debate about the importance (or lack thereof) of the 2nd amendment and why we would not in fact be better off copying England and Australia. Invited her shooting that weekend to continue the argument.
>Took her a nice outdoor shooting spot in the woods.
>Ran her through safety on an unloaded gun
>Started her off on a .22. Moved up to 9mm, 5.56 and 12g pretty quickly. Blew up a bunch of coke bottles and other reactive targets. Ran some basic shooting drills.
>She loved it.
>She kept one of the shell casing from that trip. It's currently sitting in the israeliteellery box next to our wedding rings.
I literally teared up reading that
That was wholesome. Goodonya, anon.
Yet she still votes for anti-gunners. Time to kick her to the curb and have the trashmen come to pick her up
>handing a loaded gun to a woman you just met
Range dates are rarely a good idea unless you're in a committed relationship and vet the girl for more or less a year to understand her capabilities.
Why are zoomers so into mystery meat?
read the file name
Anon probably put that prompt through google's image generator and it added it's own pinch of diversity
True but the zoomer was obviously asking for it throwing bbw in there

I don't know how you guys continue to drop the ball here.
It really annoys me when guys force their caliber preference on women. Yeah .45 and 9 is great and preferable, but for limp wristers. Women just don’t care about payload whatsoever. They just want something easy to shoot, so let them shoot and carry a .22. Stop giving women snub nose .38s, they will not use them.
Holy shit you're a moron
>ask a girl out to a range date

AI SLOP SEXOOOOO
what's it like to have a fat gf?
That is not the face that goes with that body.
Like 50 AE.
Not bad at first, especially if you’re both young. But they age thrice as fast. That little extra chub grows fast and all of a sudden the constant whining and physical restrictions far outweigh the cushion pushin
How did yall reveal your power level to your woman who is anti-gun (she has a caregiver perspective and fears a kid touching one but neither of us has kids) also thinks some people play with their guns too much.
It's been bothering me because that has been the primary red flag for me who most certainly plays with his guns too much.
>She thinks I only have a Mosin and a revolver
>I have far more than this
>lust provoking image
>irrelevant time wasting question
>Pay for 2 hours in advance
Do places actually do this?
I have. She likes gun stuff, just not the common people who frequent it and tend to slip as much politics around me when they see her with me.
If I'm alone, they mention no politics the hundreds of times we spoke. Suddenly a woman is with me, "Muh trump and muh obaymuh gave guns to cartels" comes out.
What the frick is wrong with people.
>she's my wife now
>Take gf to combination gun store/range
>She thinks my bubba'd .22lr is "cute" and wants to use it at her first range day
>Just got a Bushnell Magnum Phantom for it, but it looks like she gets to be the first to test it
>We take our lane at the range which is pretty quiet except a couple oddballs
>A couple lanes to our left is an ancient old guy in a cowboy hat shooting a Luger and TEC .22 while smoking so much I though he had a muzzleloader too
>And about 4 lanes to our left is an enigmatic female (I think) in a hooded trenchcoat and leather gloves shooting the most basic standard Glock imaginable with one hand.
>Me and the gf take turns shooting and she is a surprisingly decent shot considering the scope wasn't zeroed at all
>Weirdo on the right finishes up by emptying one more mag, preses the slide release and stuffs it in her(?) pocket
>When she walks by she slips me a note without saying anything and hurries out the door
>the note is written in terribly broken English and all capitals
>The only legible lines were "YOU NICE YES" and "SEAFOOD LIKE"
>The gf saw it too and began questioning my fidelity
>She doesn't listen to me and thinks it isn't a coincidence I chose the same place and time as "that hussie"
>I didn't even know what a hussie was but that only pissed her off more
>Mfw before she storms out she called my .22 "ugly and gay"
Fricking Gunstop.
does body weight make recoil feel lower because the shooter has more inertia or does it feel higher because you have less give?
