While we were in Phuket, Thailand, we looked for a shooting range in the island just to try it out. It wasn't hard to find since there's one in Bangla road in Patong which is a heavy tourist area.
Since I know nothing about guns, 
They have a lot of guns in their display but apparently that's just for display only lol. There was not much selection for actual use.
As a shooting range that mostly caters beginners and people who knew nothing at all (since they are in a heavy tourist area), I expected them to give us a briefing even just for basic safety rules. They didn't. It was a red flag already for a shooting range. lol
This was my first time to shoot a gun so I literally have no idea. I have carried some guns before (to take pics lol) in some military exhibitions and shit but this was really light compared to those. I don't know how the recoil would be or some shit lol but I prepared myself just in case.
The instructor taught us how to hold it and to look at the target and to fire it whenever I'm ready but other than that, nothing else really lol. It was like visiting a cliff in a beach and the tour guide just told you to jump even when you don't know how to swim. xD
This was my target. Even though it was my first time, I was lucky enough to shoot inside the circle haha. My dad who's a retired Navy told me I am considered a sharpshooter for that. B-) Not sure how true lol.
This was Acid's. :D
It was a good experience although I wouldn't recommend it. Safety wasn't a serious thing here and someone could just easily point it to someone else (as a joke or whatever) and accidentally shoot someone. It's not worth the risk.
