Near-Fatal Negligence and Cover-Up at Bali Fire Shooting Club โ A Serious Warning You Must Not Ignore
Review:
On May 24, 2025, at approximately 2:08 PM, I experienced one of the most terrifying and dangerous incidents of my life at Bali Fire Shooting Club โ a facility that advertises itself as a safe and enjoyable shooting venue but in reality operates with gross negligence and a complete disregard for human safety.
What should have been a controlled, professional shooting session turned into a near-tragedy due to severe safety violations by one of their instructors, I Ketut Sudiana. While handing a loaded rifle to my friend:
The safety was not engaged. His finger remained on the trigger during the transfer. As a result, the weapon accidentally discharged a live round just feet away from us. By pure luck, no one was injured or killed. A slight shift in trajectory could have resulted in catastrophic injury or death. Whatโs even more alarming is that we were never briefed on safety procedures, nor given any form of instruction โ an absolute failure on the clubโs part in upholding basic firearm safety standards.
Disturbing and Unprofessional Response
Instead of acknowledging the gravity of the situation, the staff responded with hostility and denial:
A male staff member approached us aggressively, treating us like the problem rather than acknowledging their own severe negligence. When we requested a refund, management flatly dismissed our concerns, stating, โWhy should we refund you? Youโre fine โ nobody got hurt,โ showing zero empathy for the trauma and danger we faced. When we insisted on accountability, they tried to silence us by offering a refund only if we deleted the video footage that clearly documented their misconduct. Upon mentioning legal action, they quickly pushed for us to sign a black-and-white written agreement aimed at silencing any further complaint. Throughout the ordeal, counter staff laughed and joked, displaying a shocking lack of remorse. Why This Is Not Just an Isolated Incident
This wasnโt a simple accident โ it was the result of systemic failures and recklessness. Consider the following:
Firearms handled unsafely by undertrained or unqualified personnel Zero safety instructions or operational briefings provided to customers A live round discharged in close proximity to guests Hostile, dismissive reactions from staff when confronted Attempts to suppress evidence and coerce silence through informal deals These are not signs of a facility that values customer well-being. They are red flags that point to an establishment that operates dangerously and unethically.
Final Thoughts
If you care about your life and the lives of those with you, stay far away from Bali Fire Shooting Club. This establishment is run by people who are clearly not qualified to manage firearms or the safety of their customers. Instead of addressing their mistakes, they focus on covering them up and intimidating those who speak out.
We were extraordinarily fortunate to leave unharmed. The next visitor may not be as lucky.
I am submitting the video evidence of this incident to the appropriate authorities and strongly urge regulatory bodies to investigate and take immediate action against this facility before someone is seriously harmed or killed.
Please take this warning seriously โ your safety...
ย ย ย Read moreHad an excellent experience here.
Managed to play with everything they have on the catalog (and another 10 rounds of 9mm out of the PCC). Too bad bolt action rifles are not available for the time being, but looking forward to testing them out.
The staffs and marshalls are extremely friendly, they're willing to help when needed and give enough freedom for those with experience.
However, it's quite pricey, but mostly due to the permit according to the staffs.
It's hard to miss due to the giant sign right before the entrance, but I'd suggest visiting with small vehicles since they only have few slots for cars, at least as I observed.

ย ย ย Read moreAn amazing staff here at Bali Fire Shooting Club. This was my first ever trip to Bali and everyone has been so welcoming. Including Bali Fire club, they were Extremely accommodating and helpful. I got to do the different gun packages along with the axe throwing / Archery package. I went to try it out one day , enjoyed myself so much, I came back 3 days later. Everyone from front desk to teacher was so inviting and polite. They recorded every activity without a problem and engaged in conversation throughout my time there. I do recommend this place to anyone visiting Bali. Had the time of my life, definitely will be back on my next trip. Thank you...
