A Session on Firearms

Leisure shooting to cater for tourists is popular in Prague. We did not miss this opportunity and most in the group signed up for a shooting session in one of the many shooting ranges that are opened for business.

There are a great variety of guns including the most iconic ones we have seen movies! AK47 Kalashnikov, M16, Dragunov, Magnum. This list goes on.

None in the group has handled nor shoot from a gun before. It was a one in a lifetime experience for the group. Instant briefing on weaponry safety and instruction training is given by professionals upon getting into the range. However, because of the need to rush back to Prague city to catch the Swan Lake Ballet performance, our session had to be cut short. All participants were given time to shoot at targets using AK47 rifles and Magnum revolvers.

After the shooting exercise, we discovered that shooting is indeed not an easy thing. Probably, the trickiest part is to handle the recoil upon pulling the trigger.

The shooting session ended with a beer session!
