Took my wife to the Norris Rifle Range,

[vontar]

We both signed up at the Norris PD this evening and drove over to take a look at the Range. I got out to unlock the gate, ask her to drive though so I could close the gate.

This is the point where I should have remembered she grew up in the city and not the country. She just kept driving to the top of the hill and left me at the gate.

I had to walk from the gate to the range.

Now, here is what I expected. As I had been driving, I got out to unlock the gate and figured to save time I would have her move the car though and I would close it back then we would both ride up the hill since we had no idea how much further it was.

At least it was not to far of a walk.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA

How was the shooting part? Or did you just stay in the car the whole time?

Remember to hydrate!

Actually it was getting late so we didnt' get in any shooting, we had not planned the trip all that well, we kinda just run out there when she got home from work.

But now we can go any time we feel like it, I plan to have her get her first gun shot in very soon. She has never shot a gun. Going to start her small with a .22. I dont' want to scare her off at the start.

I love Norris, I've had a lot of fun there shooting OhShoot's arsenal (OhShoot is a great guy to shoot with, very generous with info but won't make fun of you for being a sucky shot plus he'll let you shoot his guns.) But that lock always befuddles me for a few minutes.

[vontar]

Yea, that lock was a trick, very tight fit for my hand and key to get in there.

Still,

Honey, pull the car though then I will close the gate.

Never did I image she would leave me at the gate.

[mr.ak47]

well i think me a few other tgo guys are planning a trip up this saturday around 11:30-noonish before it get too hot out ya'll are welcome to join us

[vontar]

I would but this Saturday I will be a my HCP class, and second I normally work weekends.

For me, when I get to go, I will prbably be a later in the evening shooter up there.

[BrasilNuts]

I think next time I would ask her to open the gate.

[mikegideon]

I think next time I would ask her to open the gate.

Yep.

[Mike.357]

yeah they could have come up with some better way to secure the gate. I can barely get my hand in there and I can guarantee whichever way I have the key facing will be the wrong way.

[Guest Phantom6]

The wife's hands are a bit smaller I'd say so she should have far fewer issues with the lock. That lock gives me problems as well. In tight spaces I'm often ambidextrously retarded. The city worker that designed and built that thing (read POS) must have had "girley-man" hands.

[tyguy]

Glad I'm not the only one that fusses with the lock. Let her deal with the gate and kill two birds with one stone.

[Mike.357]

next time I am there I am going to try to have a marker and make some kind of marking on that lock showing which way I need to put the key in.

[Garufa]

I swear the new lock is smaller. Had my technique all worked out before July 1, now can't get my grubby little booger hooks up in there. Might have to start carry that key on it own ring.

[vontar]

I will put it this way, when I sign up at the PD, I put it on my key ring. we drove up there and I had to take it off my key ring to use it.

[greenego]

I didn't have as much trouble with the lock after July lock change out. maybe a smaller lock or I am just getting use to it.

[Guest bluemarlin]

Yep, I believe that the new lock is a little smaller too. Went up there late Thursday morning and had the place all to myself for the first time in a long while. I'm just glad no one had to wait on me to unlock the damn thing.

[Garufa]

Vontar, wish I had remembered this post when we met you and your lovely wife today. I'm sure something clever could have been said.
