Gun Show: West Side Rifle Range

DateTuesday, February 9, 2010 at 03:59PM

Bored in Manhattan on a weekend afternoon? Feeling the need to shoulder a rifle? Want to relive the days of earning your riflery merit badge at Scout camp? The West Side Rifle and Pistol Range has you covered. Sixty-five dollars gets you a three month membership, a shooting class, and 50 rounds with a .22 rifle. It's not going to have you living your Rambo fantasies, but for (legal) shooting within city limits, it's basically your only option. I went with some friends and we drafted teams and made a competition out of it. And not to brag, but look at that grouping.
