Bachelorette Parties with a Bang

Post by Joe ex PNG »

From the Sunday New York Daily News:

Bachelorette parties drop male strippers for guns, surf & spas

...Annie, Get your Gun!

Love her or hate her, Sarah Palin might just be onto something. Shooting is an increasingly popular pastime for women - even city slickers. "Our guests are in fashion design, medicine, technology, finance" says Andy Massimilian, CEO of Manhattan Shooting Excursions. A popular bachelor party destination, shooting is becoming more popular with the bachelorettes, too. He says, "35%-40% of our customers are women."

For bachelorettes, he recommends the one-day excursion to their shooting range in southern Connecticut, where both rifles and handguns are available (unlike NYC, where you can only shoot handguns - what a snooze!). Guests are picked up in Manhattan at 9:30 a.m., early enough for a full day of shooting. They also get lunch and custom souvenirs, like mugs and dog tags. Parties head back to Manhattan around 6, and are dropped off at the restaurant of their choice...

Throw in some strippers at the same time, and it's perfect.

anything that increases the number of females at the shooting range is a good thing.

It's going to be amusing if the shooting sports (indeed the RKBA) are saved by women.

The more, the better for us. My wife is buried in work right now and really needs some range time but we won't be free for a few weeks.
Buy ammunition and magazines.

You'll shoot your eye out!

Another blog.

We seriously need to get more women into the gun community.

We need Sigs and the City :mrgreen:

hopefully someone will warn them of the dangers of pistols and low cut shirts.

only good part about it is when they rip their shirt and bra off to try to get the hot case out...
