We began our range day adventure around 9 a.m. The clouds had moved in over night, giving the world a slight dull grey hue,dampening the mood in the world around us. Our drive to Rowdy's Range was full of upbeat chatter despite the weather outside. The parking lot was empty, as one might expect on a Monday morning. With breakfast in tow for the hungry purveyors of the range, we lively stepped on in. A classroom and a competition grade rifle lay just mere minutes away.
With trusty MSR in hand we made our way to an empty classroom to film the introduction. As I stumbled through my own intro of the rifle a hero appeared who had a vast array of knowledge about the rifle. It was as if Colby was born with the Edge rifle in hand. To our dismay, the moments flew by and our short intro was at an end. Though our exciting voyage did not stop there.
The muffled sound of firearms being discharged made the last few steps to the rental counter almost unbearable, with hands shaking and hearts pounding we donned our protective eye and ear pro and headed through the door. 6 lanes of climate controlled freedom lie in wait, lucky for us we had the run of 2 lanes for our shorter than we wished trip.
Cameras set on tripods, phones on selfie sticks we went to work. During our shoot we recovered many fine moments of sheer bliss; as round after round sped down range at 3165 feet per second. Trigger pull was crisp, light and single stage. No creep and reset was almost instant. Recoil easily mitigated and the smell, Oh the smell of expelled .223 rounds is almost heavenly. 20, 40, 60 rounds later (and just mere minutes) our time at the firing line had come to an end. Sadly we packed our gear. With warm empty rifle in hand we trudged back to the rental counter.
Though our brief moment with Cobalt Kinetics was over; we managed to solved the world's problems at the counter. Our discussion with the range cast hit almost every point plaguing the world of firearms and stories of kooky firearms owners. As business picked up we wandered the store perusing their myriad of wares. Particularly their Glock section. Purchases were made, final goodbyes said, we vowed to return for another day at the range.
Left Hand Right Gun would like to thank our local firearms manufacturer Cobalt Kinetics for building a damn fine rifle. A hearty thank you to Rowdy's Range for an unforgettable experience and superb customer service. If you find yourself in our lovely (normally) sun soaked city, drop by for a chat and a shoot at Rowdy's Range.
