The Best Guns to Shoot at a Range
If you’re planning to visit a gun range, you may be wondering which guns are the best to rent and shoot. Typically, there are handgun, rifles, and shotguns. Before we get into our recommendations it is important to note that everyone’s preference is different and just because someone else loves a certain gun doesn’t mean that you will also love that gun.
If you’re a beginner, you should start with a smaller caliber and work your way up to ensure you feel comfortable with each caliber. In most cases, .22LR is the smallest caliber and a great way to understand the function of a gun with very minimal recoil. To learn more about calibers check out our blog post here.
