About

The place, in context

Bulgaria's post-1989 firearms regulations created a controlled civilian shooting market that operates under strict Ministry of Interior licensing. The facility at ul. Pchinya 77 holds one of Sofia's few certified indoor and outdoor ranges, built to ISSF safety standards with reinforced backstops and ventilation systems that meet European occupational health codes. Unlike recreational ranges in Prague or Krakow, Bulgarian facilities require all participants to complete safety briefings conducted by instructors holding national firearms permits. The sofia shooting range price structure reflects Bulgaria's instructor-supervised model. Every session includes certified range supervision, eliminating the liability gray zones common in less regulated markets. The 70-euro starting package bundles range time, equipment rental, and one-on-one instruction—an all-in rate that removes the hidden fees often layered onto Eastern European shooting experiences. The three-gun format rotates participants through pistol, rifle, and shotgun disciplines, providing comparative handling experience across calibers and action types. Bulgaria's firearms culture traces to mandatory conscription under the People's Republic, when shooting proficiency formed part of civil defense training. That legacy persists in the country's competitive shooting clubs and the precision-oriented instruction style at licensed ranges. Instructors emphasize muzzle discipline and trigger control over Hollywood posturing. The range's arsenal includes 9mm semi-automatics, .22 rifles for recoil-sensitive shooters, and 12-gauge pump shotguns—all Soviet-era designs still in widespread Balkan use. Ammunition costs are absorbed into the package rate, a departure from the per-round pricing that inflates sofia shooting range price tickets at tourist-focused venues. Sofia's location 550 meters above sea level and its position in the Sofia Valley create stable atmospheric conditions year-round. The range operates in a converted industrial zone north of the city center, accessible via Slivnitsa Boulevard. The neighborhood's Soviet-era warehouses and concrete plants provide visual context for Bulgaria's transition economy. Serious shooters book morning slots to avoid midday heat in the unconditioned outdoor bays. The facility sees a mix of Bulgarian sport shooters maintaining certification and international visitors seeking experiences unavailable in their home jurisdictions.

Your experience

What a tour day looks like

A step-by-step walkthrough of the visit — what you'll see, how long each stage takes, and the details that matter.

You arrive at ul. Pchinya 77 and sign a liability waiver in Bulgarian and English. The instructor checks your ID and leads you to a briefing room with laminated safety diagrams. You learn the four cardinal rules, chamber-checking procedures, and the range's cease-fire protocol. The session moves to the firing line, where three weapons rest on a steel table—Makarov pistol, Kalashnikov-pattern carbine, Baikal shotgun. You start with the 9mm pistol, loading eight rounds into the magazine under supervision. The instructor demonstrates stance and sight alignment before stepping behind you. You fire slowly, feeling the recoil climb through your wrists. The rifle comes next, heavier and steadier, its iron sights easier to align at fifteen meters. The shotgun kicks hardest—a sharp thump against your shoulder that makes you reset your footing. Between firearms, the instructor corrects your grip and breathing. Targets are scored at the end. You collect your casings as required by range policy and return all equipment to the armory. The instructor signs your completion card. The entire session runs ninety minutes from check-in to exit.
