What’s Included in the Military Shooting Experience Sofia
Your Ex-Military Instructor
Every session is led by a former military professional with real operational experience. This isn’t a civilian range officer reading from a script — it’s someone who has lived the training, carries the stories, and knows how to pass genuine skills to a group quickly and safely.
Before you touch a weapon, your instructor runs a full tactical briefing covering safe handling, proper stance and grip, breath control, trigger technique, and quick-reaction drills. Additionally, you’ll learn how to accurately read your groupings and understand what you’re doing right — and wrong.
The Weapons
Depending on your package, you’ll fire a combination of:
- Pistols — multiple calibres, classic and modern sidearms
- AK47 / AK74 — the iconic Soviet assault rifles, fully live and fully loaded
- Glock — for the XXL package, the session begins with pistol fundamentals before escalating to the assault rifles
Additional bullets are available to purchase on site if the group wants to keep going.
Guide
Your English-speaking Tweekends guide meets the group at your accommodation and stays throughout the activity.
Transfer
Private door-to-door transfer in a modern licensed minibus is included both ways — no navigating Sofia’s outskirts on your own.
Post-Session Beer
After the last round, a well-earned cold beer is included for every participant. In short, the debrief is almost as good as the session itself.
Duration & Availability
Sessions run from 3 hours (Standard) to 7 hours (XXL) door to door. Available all year round, 7 days a week.
What You’ll Learn
By the end of the session — regardless of which package you choose — every participant will know how to:
- Handle firearms safely on and off the range
- Apply correct grip, stance and body position for accuracy
- Control breathing and trigger pull to minimise movement
- Perform basic quick-reaction drills under instruction
- Read target groupings and self-correct technique
This is why the military shooting experience Sofia is popular beyond just stag dos — it’s a genuine skill-building session wrapped in one of the most exciting group activities in the city.
Why Choose the Military Experience Over Standard Target Shooting?
Standard target shooting is great for beginners who want a fun introduction to firearms. However, if your group wants something deeper — more weapons, more instruction, more time on the range, and a real tactical context — the military experience is the upgrade worth making.
The ex-military instructor is the key difference. Additionally, the structured progression from safety training through to live drills means every member of the group finishes the session feeling genuinely capable, not just like a tourist who fired a gun.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any firearms experience? None at all. The session is designed to work for complete beginners and experienced shooters alike. Your instructor adapts the pace to the group.
Which package should we choose? For most stag do groups trying shooting for the first time, the Standard (50 bullets) is a solid introduction. However, if budget allows, the XL with the AK47 is where it gets truly memorable. The XXL is ideal for groups who want a full day activity.
Is it safe? Yes. All participants receive a full safety briefing before handling any weapon. Your ex-military instructor supervises every aspect of the session and all range safety protocols are strictly followed.
Can we buy more bullets on the day? Yes — additional ammunition is available to purchase on site at the range.
How far is the range from Sofia city centre? Approximately 30 minutes by car. Private transfer is included both ways so the whole group travels together.
Is this available year round? Yes — available all year, 7 days a week.
