    Hand Gun Practise ?

    Hi Everyone
    My Father in-law bought a S&W 38, and has never even shot it.
    I will be coming down in late February to visit for a week, is here some place close to Foley where we could go shoot ?.
    Just some State land would be fine, or a Range, just looking for a safe place to shoot a few rounds.

    Thanks
    Kevin

    Give a googan a king, and he can eat for a day. But teach a googan how to kingfish, and he'll be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years

    Thanks for the suggestions. But my concern with a range is his lack of experience with a hand gun, He has shot shotguns and Rifles, but never a Pistol.
    Most of the Ranges up by me, wouldn't allow him to shoot for that reason.
    is there any public land where we could shoot ?

    Thanks

    How do they expect him to learn if he can't use the range to shoot? It wouldnt have hurt them to send a RSO out to watch him at first. I hope you find a place to shoot with him while you are there.
