2 weeks agoAmazing experience!
Had an incredible time at the shooting range! The instructors were professional and patient. We tried several different weapons and felt safe the entire time. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Prague.

I had never shot a gun before and the staff made me feel completely comfortable. They explained everything clearly and were very safety-conscious. A unique Prague experience!
