When you're looking for things to do during an upcoming bachelor party that you're helping to organize, it's always a good idea to evaluate the common interests that everyone in the group shares. If all of you enjoy shooting firearms, you may want to visit an indoor shooting range. You don't necessarily need to spend the entire day of the bachelor party at this venue. Many people structure bachelor parties to include a number of stops, and the gun range can be just one of the places that you visit. Here are some suggestions on how to make the most of this time.

Choose A Private Space

There are many indoor shooting ranges that have private areas that groups can rent. While you might not have a problem with your bachelor party group using lanes that are surrounded by other users, it can be fun to choose a range in which a small group of lanes is blocked off for privacy. This way, you'll have your own space for the entirety of your visit, and if there are a few minutes in which your group is talking rather than shooting, you don't have to worry about other people wanting to use your lanes.

Invent Some Challenges

One of the fun ways to structure any visit to the shooting range with friends, including when you visit for a bachelor party, is to come up with some shooting challenges that you can implement. While a shooting range is a serious place, it's also one in which you can have fun — as long as you make safety your top priority. For example, you might organize a round robin-style tournament in which two people in your group compete in a shooting challenge against one another, with the winner moving on to face off against another winner.

Find A Venue With An Eatery Nearby

At some bachelor party events, it's common to eat and enjoy some refreshments during the activity. Most indoor shooting ranges prohibit food and drink, however, so you'll need to choose a different location when it comes time to eat. When you're evaluating different shooting ranges in your city, look for one that has a desirable eatery nearby. For example, if there's a smokehouse that your group wants to try just a block or two away from a range, the range can be a good choice. You can spend some time shooting, and then wrap up and continue onto the restaurant for the next part of your day.
