Tired of going to the same places or doing the same activities with your friends? You may want to try shooting for a difference.
The idea of firing guns together is a great way to improve your social skills, sharpen your reflexes, release some stress, and plainly just have fun. It’s a great way to bond with your friends or learn cool stuff like how to shoot accurately.
If you’re a newbie to the world of firearms and shooting, it’s an intimidating place to be. You might think that the shooting range experience is exclusive for people who are from the military or police force. But there are actually many ways to get in touch with your inner sniper self.
Bring your ‘Call of Duty’ skills to real-life in these shooting/firing ranges around Manila:
