We all love summer blockbusters big on explosions, high-speed car chases, and plenty of heart-pumping gunfire, but today's deal from Gander Mountain Academy in Madison puts all that thrill and excitement into the hands of even the most novice shooter. For just $20, take aim at the 45-minute Ultimate Academy Experience class (regularly $40). You'll get gun rental and ammunition; one-on-one interaction and training from a certified, skilled instructor; access to the virtual firing range and two defensive target simulators; and ten minutes to shoot a Glock 9mm on a live range. Learn important facts about gun safety and how to protect your loved ones from danger in this fun and informative course. At 50% off, you'll be able to sharpen those sharpshooter skills for less than the cost of a night at the movies.I'm not fully sold on the whole "action movie" twist, but it's pretty cool to see a place that normally has deals on golf courses and sushi bars to be offering this.

Winning
livingsocial.com is one of those sites where you can sign up to hear about deals on stuff to do in your area, and this morning they sent MandaFern a notice for a deal on a "45-Minute Handgun Experience" through the Gander Mountain Academy for $20.

aye. I'm willing to reserve my judgment.
It might even facilitate "subverting" on-the-fence friends and acquaintances by introducing them to handguns in a controlled environment.
I think I would probably have total newbies start out with a .22 rifle, the a .22 pistol, before bringing out the 9mm, but that's just me.
In this case they are starting with their simulation system, which uses a modded gun with CO2 that kicks the slide back, and lasers to tell you where it "shot."
The CO2 simulates recoil and muzzle blast, and from what I saw in person the one time I looked in at a Gander Moutain Academy, those qualities are not too different from a .22lr.
