Target Shooting

Our next stag day activities blog post focuses on target shooting, which is certainly a top 10 stag activity! This is your chance to fire real live guns in a highly safe and instructed shooting range. In Europe you’ll get your hands on guns such as the Dirty Harry style Magnum, Uzi, AK47, Glock and pump action shotgun. You’ll also be instructed by a professional who will teach you the master of aiming these powerful beasts, and at the end of the day you usually get to keep the targets and see who’s got the best score.

Target shooting in Europe is the only chance you will get to fire real live guns with real live ammo. Here’s the usual format: Arrive at the shooting range > Meet your instructor who will give you a safety briefing > Then you’ll be introduced to the guns! > lock and load baby! Now’s the time you’ve been waiting for … shooting at the targets!

Add target shooting to your stag weekend and it’ll definitely be an experience you’ll never forget.

Here’s 3 of our top shooting ready made packages:
