Imagine walking into a sleek, well-equipped shooting range just outside Krakow, hands slightly trembling with anticipation, yet feeling confident thanks to expert guidance. For $108 per person, you’ll get about an hour of adrenaline-pumping action, firing 25 shots across three iconic firearms: the Glock 17, AK-47, and a sniper rifle. The experience promises a mix of fun, learning, and a real sense of achievement—perfect for those wanting to add a bit of adventure to their Krakow visit.
What we really appreciate about this experience is the combination of safety and authenticity. The staff, led by friendly and professional instructors, make sure you’re comfortable and well-informed. Plus, the chance to learn about the history and mechanics of each firearm adds a surprising educational twist.

On the flip side, a possible consideration is that this activity is a one-hour session—so if you’re looking for a longer, more immersive experience, you might want to explore other options. Also, transportation to the range isn’t included, so you’ll need to plan how to get there on your own. Still, for those eager for a unique, safe, and exhilarating experience, this is a top choice. It’s particularly suited for individuals or groups who enjoy hands-on activities and want a memorable story to tell.

What to Expect During Your Krakow Shooting Experience

We found this step incredibly reassuring, especially for first-timers. They explain how to handle firearms safely and what to expect during the session, which sets a relaxed tone for the activity.
Next, you’ll be introduced to the three firearms you’ll be shooting: the Glock 17, known for its reliability; the AK-47, famous worldwide for its distinctive look and history; and a sniper rifle, for those who want to test their precision. The range itself is state-of-the-art, clean, well-lit, and fully equipped with modern safety features, which makes a big difference in creating a secure environment.
Each participant gets 25 shots, divided among the three guns. This setup allows you to experience the unique feel and accuracy of each firearm—from the semi-automatic Glock to the iconic assault rifle, and finally, the precision of a sniper rifle. The instructors are attentive and offer tips tailored to your skill level. One reviewer enjoyed the way the instructors “made me feel confident even as a complete beginner,” which highlights the inclusive nature of the experience.
Throughout the session, you’re encouraged to aim at targets, with some guests noting that hitting the targets provides a satisfying sense of accomplishment.

The Shooting Range and Equipment
The range itself is a highlight. It’s modern, with a focus on safety and comfort. You won’t find any rusty or outdated equipment here; instead, the lighting, ventilation, and overall cleanliness give a sense of quality. The firearms are well-maintained, and the instructors are skilled at making sure everyone handles the guns correctly, regardless of experience.
You might find that the variety of firearms caters well to different interests. The Glock 17 is a staple for many shooters—known for its ease of handling and reliability. The AK-47 carries a cultural significance and gives visitors a taste of what soldiers or enthusiasts might encounter. The sniper rifle offers a different kind of challenge, focusing on precision and control.
The Educational Side: Learning About Firearms
What sets this experience apart from simply renting a gun at a shooting range is the educational component. The instructors don’t just hand you a gun and tell you to shoot; they explain how each firearm works, its history, and mechanics. For history buffs or those curious about weapon design, this provides an added layer of interest.
One review states, “I loved the way they explained the origins of the guns—they made it interesting without feeling like a lecture.” This approach helps demystify firearm handling and makes the activity more engaging and respectful.
The Value and Pricing
At $108 per person, the price can seem steep compared to just renting a gun elsewhere. But considering it includes professional guidance, use of a top-tier range, 25 shots, and photos, the cost is justified for many. For an hour of safe, guided shooting in a controlled environment, it offers good value, especially if you’re eager to try something out of the ordinary during your Krakow trip.
If you’re considering whether it’s worth it, think about the experience’s quality and safety, both of which are emphasized throughout. Plus, it’s a fun story to tell—who wouldn’t want to say they fired an AK-47 in Poland?
