The range is always a serious place when the line is hot, eyes forward, ears covered, and everyone focused. But it’s the moments during cease fire that keep me coming back. That’s when the conversations start, the smiles show up, and sometimes strangers turn into friends. On a recent trip to sight in a red dot, we ended up trying out a Ruger PC Charger and a GeForce Blade thanks to a generous neighbor, and even came home with a zombie target gifted by another. For a natural introvert like me, that kind of community is what makes outdoor ranges so special.
