Yes, I love adventure during our travel because for me the experience is the best investment in life aside from business…LOLx.. This time I’m not sharing about our travel experience but the most awaited experience in my life. I don’t know where and how to begin this experience. I’m dreaming this experience 2 years ago, I told myself that soon I will try and conquer that experience. I was so excited about this experience when one of our friends invited us for the experience that I knew would happen in my life and that is to fire real guns, YES guns because we try and experienced 6 different firearms.
We try and experience the 6 different guns in the shooting range. We tried the 45 caliber pistol, 22 calibers, Shotgun, Ruger, MP5 submachine gun, and the Thompson sub-machine gun which this Thompson sub-machine gun was used during World War II.
First Timers
At first, I admit doubt and fear were already there when I saw these firearms. Doubt because what will happen after I shoot one of these guns? Fear, because the first time to shoot real guns. But after the first bullet, I felt the enjoyment of the real guns and I found out that pulling the trigger can release stress aside on that it will add some adrenaline rush. It’s a different adrenaline rush compared to white water rafting. just wondering already when to get back in the shooting range to try other rounds of bullets.
If you wish to try pulling the trigger you can visit the Northern Mindanao Practical Shooting Association (NMPSA) located at Zone-9 Anhawon, Bulua Cagayan de Oro City widest shooting range so far and they are accredited Gun Club with three (3) accredited firing ranges in Region X. For first-timers don’t worry because they have trainers/instructors who are there to assist and assure you that it is safe. To tell you guys it can be nerve-wracking and scary! Cagayan de Oro Firing Range is the place to be.
You can bring your gun if you have one and just pay for the ammo since they allow customers to use their own. They have also packages prepared for you guys who love guns.
