cheap weekend away must involve guns

[Trustmeimadoctor]

right its my best mates 40th and it seems he cant be arsed to plan anything so ive taken it upon my self to sort it.

plans are cheap and shooting big guns. we previously have done krakow and that was great but want somewhere different this time quite possibly eastern europe again as their gun controls are thankfully pretty relaxed.

want to fly from doncaster/leeds or east midlands at a push.

anyone any ideas ?

Yes, this. Highly recommended for this sort of thing.

Or you could try Somalia.

He needn't even go that far. I understand you can get within 150 nautical miles these days and have the same experience.

riga looks good anyone fly direct ?

Bratislava, fly to either Bratislava or Vienna, which is about 100km away, IIRC.

We had an afternoon indoor shooting range trip, from pistols to semi automatics, on a mate's stag a few years ago.

(I didn't enjoy the shooting bit)

[Trustmeimadoctor]

cool shall look into it

i love the shooting and as long as we can all do it dressed as don johnson circa miami vice it will be fine

5 shots of an AK47 is that like 5 magazines or 5 rounds? Semi Auto?

Where is the fun in that?

[Trustmeimadoctor]

that would be 5 rounds or approx .5 of a second at full auto.

we did it of our own backs in krakow and it was much better rates than they are charging really id want to do it my self not a stag party tour thing as they are intentionally priced at more than it should be

I'm off to the States early next year. I'm staying with relatives and a good friend of their's has invited me to his personal shooting range. He's a firearms expert and has a collection of over 500 weapons. I was asked "would you like to visit his range". Everything from .50 cal, M60 to AK47 and M16. Errmm..let me think about that for a minute!!!!

would love a chance at something like that. im trying to find a good outdoor range near vegas where i could try something really meaty like a ma deuce or any high power rifle would love a go at sniping tbh

Sitting perfectly motionless for hours on end in a wet, cold field and then moving veeeeerrrrrry slowly inch by inch to cover hundreds of yards over may hours for just one shot?

Screw that! Give me some range time any day of the year.

[Trustmeimadoctor]

no i mainly mean some stupidly long distance range with a silly high power bolt action rife

He said CHEAP..... Prague itself was extorionate when we were there.

Lots of friends/family been too, and said exactly the same.

Nice, scenic, somewhere to go for a romantic (READ AS DIRTY) sightseeing weekend with the OH..... But cheap 40th?

[Trustmeimadoctor]

ive done prague before too with the mrs lovely place but a bit over run with stags now so priced to reflect that

[mgmrw]

How about somewhere warmer?

Spain/Portugal??

Remember seeing they do shooting trips in the mountains, presuiming a shotgun is what you fancy

[Dave200]

Have organised a stag shooting experience in krakow and managed to book an entire range for a morning for a group of us. Will dig out the details.
