About this tour
When Mia from our BugBitten team booked the Private 3-Gun Set in Hua Hin, she was expecting a controlled shooting experience — and that's exactly what she got. You'll spend an hour firing three different weapons: a Glock 19 handgun, an AR9 rifle, and a shotgun, with a qualified instructor on hand the whole time. The range is secure and set up for both first-timers and people who know their way around firearms. It's a niche activity, sure, but if you're curious about shooting sports or want to tick an unusual box, this delivers.
Highlights
- Three distinct firearms in one session — handgun, rifle, shotgun
- Instructor present throughout for safety and technique coaching
- Sixty minutes of actual trigger time, not just briefing
- Private setup means no jostling with crowds at a public range
- Eyes and ears protection supplied; ammo allocation clear upfront
- Suitable for both absolute beginners and experienced shooters
What to expect
Mia arrived at the range in Hua Hin and was geared up quickly — safety glasses and ear defenders sorted before she touched anything. The instructor walked her through each weapon's basics: grip, stance, trigger discipline. The Glock 19 came first, rapid-fire and intuitive; the AR9 offered more control and feedback; the shotgun delivered genuine recoil and a different kind of focus. Pacing felt natural — enough time to get comfortable with each gun rather than rushing through. The range itself is a dedicated facility, not a tourist attraction, so it felt properly serious. Weather's warm in Hua Hin, so you'll be sweating a bit, but the range has shade and ventilation sorted.

Good to know
This is genuinely personal — you're not competing with other tourists or queuing between shots. Mia felt the instructor was attentive and didn't baby her, which makes a difference. The ammo allocation (40 rounds for the handgun and rifle combined, 10 for the shotgun) is realistic for an hour and takes pressure off. It's open to age 20+ and all fitness levels, which is fair.
It's physical — standing, concentrating, managing recoil — so anyone with dodgy knees or serious back issues should think twice. Not recommended if you're pregnant. One hour goes faster than you'd think; if you're hoping to become proficient, this is an intro, not a course. Hot climate means you'll want water nearby. The facility is in an industrial area of Hua Hin, so factor in transport time. Cost will vary (not listed here), so check current rates before booking.
