As a final leg of the Kuwait tour, me and my friend who’s visiting Kuwait decided to pass by the shooting range. I hadn’t been to the shooting range since they first opened around 9 years ago and all I remembered about the place was that it was pricey which is why I never went back again.
There are two different types of weapons you can fire, rifles and handguns. In each category you have different weapons to choose from and each with a different price. This is the list:
Handguns:
9mm – 20 rounds for KD6
38mm – 20 rounds for KD6 (revolver)
40mm – 20 rounds for KD6
45mm – 20 rounds for KD7
Rifles:
.22 Long Rifle – 10 rounds for KD5
9mm Assault Rifle – 20 rounds for KD6
.223 Assault Rifle – 10 rounds for KD7
7.62 Hunting Rifle – 10 rounds for KD8
We started with the handguns first and then moved to the rifles after that. If you’ve never fired a gun before it’s not an issue since there will be an expert with you the whole time who will briefly teach you about the weapon as well as how to load the bullets and aim properly. 20 rounds won’t really last long but they will last you longer than you’d expect them to since you will be taking your time and aiming properly before every shot. The magazine holds 8 bullets (I think) so you will also have to reload it half way through.
The rifle was pretty fun to fire as well and maybe even more fun than the handguns. They’re easier to aim with because they come with scopes but they’re tricky since any slight movement while pulling the trigger and you’re off target. The 10 rifle bullets lasted me longer than the 20 handgun bullets because you really take your time aiming accurately. If you’ve always wanted to be a sniper this is your chance.
The shooting range complex is located off the 6th Ring Road right behind the Hunting and Equestrian Club. Here is the location on [Google Maps]. Make sure you have some sort of ID with you since you won’t be able to fire a gun without one. There is also an ATM machine at the location and they accept credit cards and Knet.

Are women allowed to go?
Yes
Not only are women allowed to go, surprisingly (at least to me) you will find many women wearing the face cover. Kind of a turn on, hehe 🙂
If I remember correctly, the opening hours were abysmal (like only 4 hours a day or something). Any word on that?
I’m sorry but for some stupid reason I forgot to ask about their timings
Ok I googled it and its
Mon-Sun 5–9pm
Mon-Sun sounds strange, they are open 7 days a week. I know it means the same thing, but it just sounds weird.
Thats good, been there but pretty lame.
But the guns are really old, scopes are old, and on no bipods, no quality rifles, cheap ammo. Staff is neutral, prices are high compared to us. Very lame. But yeah mark, good that you went, but wouldnt advise to go !
Well unless you’re really into it I doubt anyone will notice most if the things you mentioned. It’s just an activity people can do for fun.
Yeah, You hit the bullseye ! . Any plans to travel this summer ? Japan maybe ?
Possibly to the Fuji Rock Fest but nothing finalized yet
Cool ! I really wanted to visit Ginza and rest of Tokyo but the flight is very long ! But Japan is a Yay or nay compared to, say Dubai or Maldives ? Have you been in the Maldives ?
Did you just ask me if Japan is a better destination than Dubai?
Lol! 😉
True:) there is nothing to compare this place with.
Any age limit Mark? I planned to go there with my sons..thanks..
I believe you need to be over 18
They also do Archery but only for Kuwaitis, so I’m told.
No, anyone can go, but you can’t just go and rent equipment, you have to take courses.
I’m told that sometimes Daniel Craig instructs ?
Really!!! I heard Mr. Bean also visits on Fridays! 😉
Actually all the instructors are ex-philipines special forces. They are kind of bad ass actually.
Bad asses yes but they’re very patient with noobs like me, even when I pointed a loaded gun into his face with the safety off 🙂
Mark if you get a membership its 20% off for you and everyone in your party. Its not a bad deal if two or three people split a membership.
Make it a point to go after a fight with your wife. Guaranteed to get you at least 8 out of 10 bulls-eye hits.
