<p>Does Cornell have a shooting range?</p>
<p>I don't think an Ivy League school would be the best place to teach people how to shoot...</p>
<p>That is an ignorant comment, pistol/rifle are high school sports in which i particpate. thats like saying swimming isn't a sport that should be taught because people can drown.</p>
<p>i dont know if cornell in particular has one, but i'd be quite surprised if there wern't any in ithaca.</p>
<p>I'm just saying people can become a little "unstable" in college. That's all.</p>
<p>Check out this semester's PE classes. You can take riflery or a handgun class and receive credit for it.</p>
<p>Damn; I didn't know Cornell offered so much. PE might actually be fun at Cornell...</p>
<p>PE at Cornell isn't like PE in high school.</p>
<p>I used to shoot a fair bit myself, so I decided to look that up. Apparently, for the PE rifle/pistol classes, they take you down to the Tompkins County Rifle Club range. I don't know how far that is though...</p>
<p>Oh yeah, and the rifle course description said that they teach .22 cal 3 position.</p>
<p>its probably: prone, kneeling, and offhand. what did you shoot heythatslife?</p>
<p>I just saw that Cornell offers bootcamp for PE. Who is going to choose that?</p>
<p>I took up target rifle when I was in England and joined the varsity rifle team at my old school. I shot .22 and .308 mostly, but only prone, though. I had to drop it upon coming back to Korea, because they don't allow civilians to own guns.</p>
<p>the "ithaca gun company" used to exist here. you can still see the factory smoke stacks from the right places. there is a shooting range, but not on campus I don't think. You CAN have your own gun on campus, but it has to stay in a special place when you're not using it. and yeah, we have PE classes in shooting</p>
