The thrill of shooting real handguns, rifles and machine guns attracts Chinese visitors by the busload — often 20 to 30 tour buses a day, says co-owner Eric Yarger.
Shooting firearms — at a cost of $25 to $350 — is something they can’t do legally in China. Chinese tourists make up about 80 percent of the range’s summer business. It’s not unusual for Chinese customers “to shoot every gun we have,” Yarger said. “They can spend over $1,000.”

Just don’t put up any targets with a picture of Xi....
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
Getting ready for the REAL revolution in China.
Guam and Hawaii do this too for the Asian Tourists and they Gouge the Hell out of those people.
When I was waling in Downtown Honolulu when I was being deployed to Guam they had street Peddlers handing out Flyers for "Real Guns! Shoot Here!"
They Mostly ignored me because of (The Correct) Assumption because since I was most likely an American I would turn them down because I could just go to my uncle in the Country and Shoot for Free and Unfettered.
This is a wonderful earning opportunity.
“If a Chinese tour leader walked into a shop, turned over a souvenir and found “made in China,” she said, “Everybody would leave.”
100% true. Even here in Hollywood, I make conversation with the store managers along Hollywood Blvd and the Chinese HATE made in China. The “california” shirts sell well because they are Made in the USA. Movie posters too.
“Chinese love to drive,” she said. Unlike China, in America there are roads everywhere, gas stations everywhere, motels everywhere.
“Here they can have a driving thrill,” she said. “They can speed.”
I’m not going to say a thing.
With bad/sad news everywhere; some good news and fun too!
How ya going to keep ‘em down on the farm?
After they’ve seen Paris?
Well I gotta say while on vacation to Seneca lake area we went to Watkins Glen Falls and the 2 Hr. walk down through them.....I never in my life saw so many asian people!...so many I said to my son I felt like a tourist in their country instead of being on my own...they were everywhere and
‘thick”.....
After that we visited Pa. and even at the rest stops and various other places Asians and Indians were everywhere...and not tourists.

Bozeman and the surrounding area has had too much of a ‘good thing’, with the influx of both libtard’s and tourists, from when I used to spend time there in the mid to late 70’s IMHO.
From the article:
“Yet the Chinese market has been hard on a lot of retailers, Stoddard said.
“If a Chinese tour leader walked into a shop, turned over a souvenir and found “made in China,” she said, “Everybody would leave. They’re looking for American or Native American or really unique” souvenirs.”
What’s next?, 24/7 Kung Fu theaters in Cody?
...I would turn them down because I could just go to my uncle in the Country and Shoot for Free and Unfettered...
If your uncle was in Hawaii, the choice of firearm shot there wouldn’t be unfettered.
Feds shut down shooting range in 3... 2... 1...
Niagaia falls was 80% Indians and Asians.

We had visitors here from Japan several years ago. They had TWO things on their bucket list. Drive a big American car and go shooting! My mother had a big old Buick Duce and a quarter, and we took them to an indoor range to shoot until their arms fell off. They weren’t very good a shooting, so I was asked to shoot a couple of targets which they took home with them I suppose for their walls. Crinto Eastowood would be preezed.
