Here are a few reasons why you should treat yourself to a solo date at the shooting range.

People have mixed thoughts about honoring Valentine's Day. Some dread it, others adore it. For those of us who are untethered by a significant other, yet don't want to stay home and binge-watch The Office reruns, I recommend kicking things up a notch and giving your single self a thrilling Valentine's Day experience at a shooting range. Not convinced? These reasons below might change your mind.

You don't have to talk to anyone.

If you're not in the mood for chit chat, visiting an indoor shooting range is the perfect place to be. Fair warning, it's far from silent in there.

Ammo has zero calories.

Step aside, Fannie May, the only box of goodies that's getting opened this Valentine's Day contains ammunition. Your waistline will thank you!

You might make some new friends—or get a date.

Having a niche hobby such as target shooting brings individuals from all walks of life together. If you're lucky, you may have chemistry with a few of these firearm enthusiasts.

It's fun!

You have to admit it, hitting a bullseye is way more exhilarating than clicking "Skip Intro" on a Netflix series.
