The nice staff at Wade’s will choose the best pistol carved pumpkin. The winner will receive an American flag*, and she will be crowned “Miss 2nd Amendment” of the evening by the Conservative Babes!  In addition to the pumpkin carving, Wade’s also has a selection of spooky Zombie targets to choose from for a very fun way to celebrate the Halloween holiday.

Tuesday is Ladies night at the range with 1/2 price lane fee and free gun rentals (you can also bring your gun and ammo if you want). If you want to rent a Free gun, you have to use Wades ammo. Wades takes credit/debit cards, but it will make things easier if you bring a little cash too (a shared lane is only $7.50 per person ).
