Read moreI have had Phuket Shooting Range on my radar for a while now and finally made it down. I'm really glad I did as this range and its staff provided the most educational and hands on firearm experience I've had to date. Whilst other ranges may restrict the handling of the weapons through chaining/cabling the guns to a fixed object or having the instructor perform all reloads etc, the staff here allowed me to take my time, ask questions and perform safety checks, reloading etc under their guidance.

A special thanks to my range instructor Tibet and Manager Goman for their hospitality along with Mor and the other...
Read moreThe place is worth a visit if you have never shot and held a gun before. You can choose the weapon of your choice and there is no pressure from any staff. I chose the 45mm as this was my first time. The experience is a bit expensive with 1180 baht for just 10 rounds and considering it lasts for less than 5 mins. But if you haven't tried before then is definitely worth trying. The staffs are super friendly and will help you to take a lot of photos. The also explain you the positioning and how to hold the gun. Overall, if you have never fired a gun before, then you should try this as it is a once in a lifetime experience. If you are a pro, then...
