Tourist Shooting Experiences in Sofia
British Veteran Owned Professional Firearms Training by Qualified Former NATO Military Instructors
Choosing a "Shooting Experience"
A lot of visitors to Sofia and Bulgaria in general are excited to learn that it is possible to visit a shooting range and fire some live weapon systems that they could not even dream of touching in their own countries. We believe, that considering the current state of the world and the many conflicts ongoing (and about to begin), as well as the growing threat of terror attacks, it is actually very important for civilians to have some practical experience with live firearms. It may just save their lives one day.
Having trained over 9,000+ civilian students since 2017 we understand the importance of safe and professional firearms training yet few tourists understand the difference between a “shooting experience” and working with a professional training provider so here are a few questions for you to consider when choosing your provider:
- What is your goal?
- Do you just want to just pull a trigger or actually learn how to use the weapon accurately and efficiently?
- Is your “instructor” or service provider qualified to teach you the use of live firearms?
- Even if you are only bothered about pulling a trigger and have no interest in learning the actual applications of the weapon system, it is worth noting you may not be insured if there is an accident or incident on range with your group or those working around you.
- Is the person leading your experience carrying a sidearm (Pistol)?
- Professional firearms instructors carry a loaded sidearm (a pistol) at all times. This is not just for training demonstration purposes but for the safety of their students and themselves. You do not need to do many searches on the internet to read about the hundreds of incidents all over the world every year from murder-suicides, suicide-by-instructor and just plain bad behaviour leading to innocent casualties.
- Is this person able to deal with a medical emergency and trained in dealing with massive trauma such as GSW (gunshot wound)?
- As important as the Instructors sidearm is his trauma kit and his in-depth knowledge of how to use it. Although most injuries on the range are so minor a simple band-aid will keep the student shooting, everyone using a shooting range must be aware that accidents can and often do happen.

“We recently completed a two-day shooting training course with Simon, and it was an outstanding experience. From start to finish, Simon demonstrated exceptional expertise and professionalism, making the entire course both informative and enjoyable.
