A Journey Back in Time

As we meandered through the scenic byways of Idaho, the open road stretched before us like a canvas waiting to be painted with memories. My husband and I, in our trusty RV, were on yet another adventure, this time heading towards the Rexburg Indoor Shooting Range. Nestled near the iconic Yellowstone National Park, this modern facility promised a unique experience that beckoned to the nostalgia of my youth, when road trips were a family tradition.

The drive itself was a journey back in time. The vast landscapes of the American Midwest, with their rolling hills and endless skies, reminded me of the countless road trips I took as a child. Each mile brought back memories of small-town diners, roadside attractions, and the simple joy of exploring the unknown. As we approached Rexburg, the anticipation of trying something new mingled with the comfort of familiar surroundings.

Discovering the Range

Upon arrival, the Rexburg Indoor Shooting Range stood as a testament to modernity amidst the rustic charm of its surroundings. Built in 2022, the facility was state-of-the-art, offering both 25-yard and 50-yard ranges. The Range Safety Officer greeted us warmly, ensuring we felt at ease and ready to embark on this new adventure.

The range offered a variety of firearms to choose from, and I was eager to try my hand at shooting. With the guidance of the officer, I learned how to properly load, hold, and fire the weapons. The experience was exhilarating, a blend of precision and focus that required me to be present in the moment. It was a stark contrast to the leisurely pace of our road trip, yet it complemented the journey perfectly.

The facility’s video control screens allowed us to adjust the distance of our targets, adding a layer of customization to the experience. As I fired each shot, I felt a sense of accomplishment and empowerment, a reminder that new experiences can be both challenging and rewarding.

As we left the range, the sun began to set, casting a golden hue over the landscape. The experience at the Rexburg Indoor Shooting Range was more than just an activity; it was a reminder of the beauty of exploration and the joy of discovering something new.

Driving back through the small towns and wide-open spaces, I reflected on the journey. The range had offered a unique blend of modernity and nostalgia, much like the road trips of my youth. It was a reminder that while the world around us changes, the spirit of adventure remains timeless.

For those seeking a blend of history, modernity, and the thrill of the unknown, the Rexburg Indoor Shooting Range is a destination worth exploring.
