Valentine’s Day gift ideas: Roses. Candy. Hallmark. Shooter’s World Guns and Roses Range Package.

Shooter’s World owner Phil Roux understates the case when he calls his venue’s smokin’ deal “a non-traditional date idea.” For a reasonable $99.99, the facility will provide couples an hour of target time, firearms rentals, a dozen roses, and two shots in the Valentine’s Day Pot Luck Shoot for a chance to score a pair of one-year memberships.

Roux says the Guns and Roses Range Package was created “to give couples an alternative to conventional date options associated with Valentine’s Day. This isn’t your traditional heart-shaped box of candy.”

Duh.

Reservations for the Guns and Roses package are required by 2 p.m. Thursday, February 14.
