The Journey to the Largest Shooting Range in Krakow
Once onboard, you’ll enjoy a comfortable ride through the city’s outskirts, heading to the state-of-the-art facility that is Krakow’s largest shooting range. During this time, the guide might share some safety tips or interesting facts about firearms, setting the stage for your adventure. The range itself is well-equipped, with modern targets and safety measures that put first-timers at ease.
The Shooting Range Session: What to Expect
This is the core of the experience. Under the supervision of professional instructors, you’ll learn the basics of firearm handling — how to hold, aim, and fire safely. You’ll have the chance to shoot up to 33 different types of guns, with the actual weapons depending on your chosen package. The Soldier package, specifically, includes 25 rounds across a selection of weapons: 10 rounds with Uzi submachine guns, 10 with Glock pistols, and 5 with AK-47 rifles.
What makes this activity stand out? For one, the variety of weapons allows you to experience very different shooting styles and feels. Shooting an AK-47 gives a sense of raw power, while Glock pistols are more manageable and precise. We loved the way the instructors took time to teach proper handling, ensuring safety while not stifling the fun.
One of the most talked-about aspects in reviews is the power of the shotguns and how the metal targets must be replaced weekly due to the impact. This sort of detail hints at the quality and seriousness of the range, giving you confidence in the safety standards.
Photo Opportunities and Souvenirs
After your shooting session, you’ll have the chance to snap some souvenir photos with guns as props — a fun way to capture the moment. Plus, you’ll take home your own target, a personalized keepsake that’s both a memento and a fun bragging point. The experience ends with a refreshing cold beer, which might seem like an odd but appreciated reward after handling loaded weapons.
