Krakow Valley Shooting Range welcomes all thrill-seekers. We are an indoor firearms range open to public. Yes, you don't need a gun permit! Our facility stays open all year round and is accredited to sport, recreational, static and dynamic shooting.
Me and my boyfriend went here and it was a great experience, I shot about 3 bullets and bottled out but they let my partner use my shots and I took pictures behind... Give it a go, if you don't like it you can stop but very professional! My partner has been shooting range in Las Vegas and this was 10times better as they let you load the gun as well.
