- John O22 contributionsGreat place to spend a couple of hoursWe booked this place for a group of us to go shot some guns. It’s a little out of town but only cheap in a taxi. Stan our instructor was great, very safety conscious but still made it fun.

Second time coming. Updated packages nice new weapons addition's. Overall great all the way. Second time is better actually at least you’re familiar with some of the stuff and the surprise is not that big when you shoot the first time.

When else would you get the opportunity to shoot an AK, Glocks and pump action shotguns! 9 of us travelled for a 50th birthday trip having never done anything like this before (although a couple professed to have spent a week in something like the sea cadets). Just the thought of doing this caused trepidation and excitement, but once the first trigger had been pulled it was such a thrill! The chaps running it took it very seriously which was comforting and we’re really friendly and fun (once they realised we weren’t your normal stag types…).

Went here with a load of lads of a stag do and wondered what we'd let ourselves in for when we arrived as the range is located in a block of flats. Couldn't have been more wrong however as the range, the staff and the variety of guns available was excellent. Very safe and all in all a really good afternoon. Would recommend to anyone thinking about going.

I've been to a few ranges in Eastern Europe and this was the best so far. The instructors knew very much what they were talking about and they pay a lot of attention to gun safety and thorough instructions throughout. You also felt you "had enough" time. No stress here. Can hightly recommend it!

We never shot before and were really excited about our first time shooting. Great instructor and overall wonderful experience. My girlfriend and I had a great time and would really recommend this place. Also noteworthy is that you can easily add extra ammunition for a few bucks extra. Will definitely come back next time we are in Sofia.

Instructor is a misogynistic man with a massive ego problem. Aggressive and rude in both Bulgarian and English, yelled at us when I asked why one package was unavailable. Called us “weak” when we didn’t want to go for the most expensive package. Was barely in the door for 5 minutes and decided not to go ahead with it. Even the other dude was telling him to calm down but he didn’t. Maybe a qualified marksman but an embarrassment of an instructor (and general human being).

As it was explained to you one of the weapons had an issue because of the previous shooters. That is the only reason why you were asked to select one of the other packages, cheaper or more expensive ones. We are there to protect your safety. No misogyny is involved in the suggestion or whatever. Sometimes you got to trust the people who are there to make sure you are safe and have a pleasant experience.

I don’t know what happened, but my experience doesn’t match what I’ve read in the reviews at all. I’m sure the people who wrote the other reviews didn’t deal with the same staff since the people who greeted us were extremely rude and unprofessional, giving rushed instructions with an air of boredom. It felt like we were a bother to them. 2 people shooting, in and out in 15 minutes. It took longer to register the documents. It’s a shame because the place is authentic and the weapons are good; it’s only the staff’s attitude that ruins it.

Hi we are a group of 5, 4 adults and a child. Most probably 2 of us will shoot the target, can the child enter the premisses?
Written September 3, 2022
Hi,
Excuse me for the late response. The child can enter the premises but can’t participate in the action.
We do have ear protection for the child's comfort.

Could someone tell me how this can be reached best trough public transport? (Starting point is Hostel Mostel; closest metro station is Serdika)
Thanks in advance
Written January 21, 2017
Hi,
There are two ways of reaching us by public transport. First one is to take the metro from Serdika Station to Vardar station- then a 10 min. walk. Or you can take tram number 22 which can be taken from Centralni Hali and then a 1 min. walk.
