    Default Aussie going to L.A. for holiday - need some advice

    Hi guys,

    Because the laws in Australia are very very strict. I have never actually experienced shooting a firearm before and would really like to try this out on my upcoming trip to the States. I'm going to be staying in West Hollywood I think. Can someone recommend a good shooting range for me to go to? and or clay pigeon shooting place? I'd really like to try this stuff out, and I'd like to hear any other recommendations for some fun stuff I can do/check out while I'm over there.

    Thanks in advance guys =]

    P.S. I don't want to start any gun control discussions here =]

    LA is big.
    Are you staying someplace in particular, or with people you know?
    It might be easiest for you to ask someone at the place you're staying if there are nearby shooting ranges.

    When you arive call some gun shops,most today are connected to indoor ranges that rent guns for people to try out before purchase.

    See if there are any gun clubs in the phone directory. They will be able to get you started.

    Drop in to a SSAA range anywhere in Australia and ask if they can't let you shoot a club firearm. You might be surpised what your allowed to do with a little adult supervision .
