Kuwait Shooting Range

 

Shooting Range Complex


I have always wondered what it would be like to shoot a real gun and if it is as easy and cool as we see in movies. If you have wondered about the same thing, then it would be a great idea to visit the shooting range in Kuwait. Last Friday may 13^th my friend and I finally decided to check it out and see what it is like. I personally thought it was an AWESOME outlet to stress or frustration. I can't wait to go again.

Where is it?

It is located on the sixth ring road.  A lot of people think it's far away but it only took me around 15 minutes to get from Salmiya to it. Once you get on the sixth ring road all you have to do is follow the signs because it's pretty easy to spot.

What is it like from the inside?

When my friend and I first got there, the exterior of the building looked kind of old. We walked in and we had to give our civil IDs to the receptionist. Then we headed downstairs where we had to sign a statement of own accountability if anything goes wrong (that got me worried abit), Then they gave us a catalogue so we could pick what type of guns we wanted (which I thought was pretty cool).



Diiferent types to choose from


Me and my friend both picked the 9mm pistol as it’s suppose to be the perfect gun for people who try shooting for the first time, then we were escorted to the range. It was surprisingly LOUD in there, even with our ear muffs on we were still going deaf.


The sets of bullets

A professional trainer gave me instructions on how to load the gun and how to handle it, how to aim and shoot, and of course some safety instructions to follow. It was the first time I ever held a real gun let alone shooting it. The first time I tried to shoot at the center of the target (cardboard) I missed but all my shots were within range. They were all surprisingly close to the target but I got 3 or 4 right in the middle out of 20 shots.
 

Aiming to shoot



Why did I like it?

All the trainers were impressed of my score considering that I was a first timer; it was such a boost for my ego actually. Although the gun was loud and heavy, it also had a bit of a kick once you pull the trigger, but it made me feel all cool and dangerous at the same time. It was so unlike what we see in movies though, definitely not as easy as one would think. The staff was very nice; we were also given a small souvenir bullet from the manager of the complex. I absolutely loved the experience it was so relieving and I had tons of fun.
