Quick answers about shooting in Mumbai
Q01
Where can I try shooting in Mumbai for the first time?
Pick the range nearest you. In the western suburbs, Champions in Andheri East or Goregaon East, The Rising Gun in Lokhandwala, or Gold Vision in Goregaon West. In central Mumbai, Sports Shot near Prabhadevi station. In the east, Champions in Powai or Chembur.
Every range by areaQ02

Prices and offersQ03
What is the minimum age for shooting?
It depends on the range and the gun. Gel blasters start at 6. The Rising Gun takes 7 and up. Champions takes 10 for pistol and 12 for most rifle sessions. Sports Shot and DSPM take 11. AirSoft India takes 14 for its air guns.
Age rules for every rangeQ04
Do I need a licence to shoot at a range?
No. At a range you shoot its own air rifles and air pistols under supervision, so you need no licence. A licence matters only when you buy. Under the Arms Rules, 2016, Rule 84, air guns above 20 joules or 0.177 inch can be sold only to an arms licence holder. Checked 10 Nov 2026.
Licence and lawQ05
Is it real shooting or a game?
Real. You fire real air rifles and air pistols at paper targets, most often at 10 metres, the distance of the Olympic air rifle and air pistol events. They fire small metal pellets, not bullets.

1. What kinds of shooting can you try in Mumbai?
You can try nine kinds of shooting in Mumbai on one app: air rifle, peep sight rifle, scoped rifle, spring air pistol, CO2 pistol and revolver, red dot carbine, combos of these, gel blasters for kids, and laser battles with no projectile at all. Each feels different in your hands. This chapter tells you which one fits you.
CO2 Air Pistol Target Shooting
AirSoft India · seven kinds of gun under one roof
Book now · ₹1,344Picture this. It is 5 PM on a Saturday in Lokhandwala. Five friends who have never held a rifle stand in a line. The instructor says one thing: "Breathe out, then squeeze." The first shot lands at the edge of the paper. The twentieth lands in the black. Nobody checks their phone for 45 minutes. That is the whole pitch.
The nine kinds, side by side
| Kind | What it feels like | Where you can book it | From | Shots | Youngest age |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Air rifle | Long, steady, quiet. The classic first try | Champions, Goregaon East, Sports Shot, Prabhadevi, Gold Vision, Goregaon West, DSPM, Dombivli | ₹672 | 15 to 30 | 11 |
| Peep sight rifle | You look through a small ring, like Olympic rifles. Harder, more rewarding | Sports Shot, Prabhadevi | ₹1,039 | 30 | 11 |
| Scoped rifle | The target jumps close through glass. Easiest to hit, hardest to hold still | The Rising Gun, Lokhandwala, AirSoft India, Goregaon East | ₹631 | 25 to 40 | 7 |
| Air pistol | One hand, arm out straight. Every wobble shows | Sports Shot, Prabhadevi, AirSoft India spring pistol, 10x Shooting India, Thane, Champions, Andheri East | ₹672 | 20 to 80 | 10 |
| CO2 pistol and revolver | A gas cartridge fires each shot. Fast, crisp, closest to the films | AirSoft India CO2 pistol, AirSoft India CO2 revolver, DSPM CO2 Glock 17 | ₹1,344 | 15 to 60 | 11 |
| Red dot carbine | A short rifle with a glowing dot sight. Point, settle, fire | AirSoft India, Goregaon East | ₹1,466 | 50 | 14 |
| Combo | Rifle and pistol, sometimes three guns, in one visit | Champions, Andheri East, Gold Vision, Sports Shot 3-in-1, The Rising Gun | ₹527 | 25 to 50 | 7 |
| Gel blaster | Soft water gel beads, 700 of them. Pure play for kids | AirSoft India, Goregaon East | ₹794 | 700 | 6 |
| Laser battle | No projectile at all. Team against team in the dark | Laser Battle Arena, Lower Parel | ₹1,039 | 30 minutes of play | 7 |
Shot counts and ages are from each listing on 10 Nov 2026. "Youngest age" is the lowest age any range in that row accepts.
Air rifle shooting: where almost everyone should start
An air rifle rests against your shoulder and cheek, so your body does half the work. That is why most first timers find a rifle easier than a pistol. You stand side on to the target, feet apart, and the instructor checks your elbow and your breath. After 10 shots most people stop trying to aim hard and start trying to stay still. That is the moment shooting clicks.
If you only book one session, book a rifle session with 20 or more shots. Fewer than 15 shots ends just as you get good.
Peep sight and scope: two ways to aim
A peep sight is a small hole you look through at the front sight and the target. Olympic air rifles use this kind of sight, so this is the closest you will get to the real event on a first visit. A scope magnifies the target. At The Rising Gun the rifle carries a Bushnell 3 to 9x scope, so the bull's eye looks close enough to touch. A scope makes the target easy to see and your own shake easy to see too.
Air pistol shooting: the test of a steady arm
With a pistol you hold the gun in one hand, arm straight, nothing to lean on. The Olympic 10 metre air pistol weighs no more than 1.5 kg and needs at least 500 grams of pull on the trigger, so even the best shooters fight the wobble (ISSF 10 metre air pistol). Pistol suits people who like a challenge, or who have tried rifle once and want the next level.
Spring, CO2 and PCP: what powers the shot
| Power | How it works | How it feels | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | You cock the gun, which squeezes a spring. The trigger releases it and pushes air behind the pellet | A small jolt on every shot. You reload by hand | AirSoft India spring pistol and spring rifle |
| CO2 | A small gas cartridge sits inside the gun and gives a puff of gas for each shot | Light, quick, little kick. Good for many shots in a row | AirSoft India CO2 pistol and revolver, DSPM Glock 17 |
| PCP (pre charged) | A tank of compressed air, filled before the session | Smooth, quiet and very steady | AirSoft India red dot carbine and scoped rifle |
Gel blasters and laser: shooting without pellets
Gel blasters fire 7 to 8 mm beads of water absorbing gel that are soaked in water before play. They are slow and light, but eye protection is still advised (Gel blaster). Laser battle uses infra red guns and vests, so nothing leaves the gun at all. Both are good for children who are too young for an air rifle.
Archery: the quiet cousin
If someone in your group does not want to hold a gun at all, Ultimate Archery at Adhyayan Archery Academy, Borivali West gives 90 minutes of target practice with bow and arrows for ₹1,344. Same focus, same calm, no noise.
Real firearms: not a walk in activity
Guns that fire bullets are covered by the Arms Act. In Mumbai you shoot them only as a member of a licensed club. Chapter 9 explains how that works.

3. How much does shooting cost in Mumbai, and how do you pay less?
A single shooting session in Mumbai costs ₹367 to ₹1,955 a person on 10 Nov 2026. The smarter number is the price per shot: it runs from about ₹13 to ₹130. Every listing already shows a saving of 24% to 34% against its original price.
Shooting range price in Mumbai: the bands
| Band | What you get | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Under ₹700 | 10 to 30 shots, 15 to 60 minutes | Thrillville, ₹367, The Rising Gun, ₹527, Sports Shot, ₹672, AirSoft India spring pistol, ₹672 |
| ₹700 to ₹1,100 | 20 to 30 shots with a coach, or a scope or peep sight | Champions rifle, ₹1,039, Gold Vision, ₹1,037, Peep sight, ₹1,039, 10x Thane, ₹1,039 |
| ₹1,100 to ₹1,600 | 15 to 60 shots: CO2 and PCP guns, 3 gun combos, 20 shot pistol sessions | CO2 pistol, ₹1,344, Red dot carbine, ₹1,466, Champions pistol, ₹1,588 |
| ₹1,600 and up | Rifle and pistol combos, 15 to 50 shots, and group packages | Champions combo, ₹1,955, Gold Vision combo, ₹1,955 |
Price per shot
Worked out from the listed price and shot count on 10 Nov 2026, rounded to the nearest rupee. Gel blasters are left out, because a gel bead is not a pellet.

| DSPM air rifle | ₹1,344 | 15 | ₹90 | One hour with briefing, the Kalyan side's own range |
Read this table both ways. The cheapest shot is not always the best visit. Champions costs more per shot and gives more coaching per shot. The Rising Gun costs less and suits people who already know they love it. Pick the row that matches why you are going.
Five ways to pay less
- Go as five. The Rising Gun sells a package for five. Compare its checkout price with five single bookings at ₹527.
- Pick shots, not minutes. A 60 shot hour at AirSoft India costs less per shot than a 15 shot hour.
- Try a combo once, then go single. Learn which gun you like for ₹1,344 to ₹1,955, then book only that gun next time.
- Bring your team through Awestruck. Corporate teams get up to 25% off and a GST invoice. Corporate outings

4. What are the age limits, rules and safety steps?
There is no single age limit for shooting in Mumbai. Each range sets its own, from 6 for gel blasters to 14 for AirSoft India's air guns, and one range sets an upper limit of 55. A parent or guardian books for anyone under 18. We advise an adult comes along; AirSoft India's gel blaster and Thrillville require it.

Ages from each listing on 10 Nov 2026. The range has the final say on the day.
Can a teenager book alone?
No. Awestruck's service is for adults, so a parent or guardian makes the booking (Awestruck privacy policy). Most ranges also want an adult present for minors. Book in the adult's name and bring the young shooter along.
Is there an age that is too old?
Only DSPM sets one, at 55. Elsewhere there is no upper limit on the listing. If you have a heart, back, eye or shoulder condition, tell the range when you book. 10x Shooting India asks every shooter to mention any medical condition that may affect them.
Rules most ranges share
These lines appear on most listings:
- Follow the instructor's safety instructions at all times.
- Never point a gun at a person, even when it is empty.
- Touch the gun only when the coach says so.
- No smoking and no alcohol inside the range.
- Arrive 15 to 30 minutes early for the safety briefing.
- Wear closed shoes. At Champions they are compulsory.
- Report any injury or damaged equipment at once. Damage from misuse may be charged.
- Photos and videos may not be allowed in the shooting area.
The four habits instructors drill
- Treat every gun as loaded.
- Keep the muzzle pointed down the range, at the target, always.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
- Know what is behind your target.
If you remember only one, remember the second.
What to wear
Closed shoes, comfortable clothes you can stand in for an hour, and nothing loose around the neck. Tie long hair back. Leave big bags in the car or at the counter. Safety gear and the briefing are included at Champions and Thrillville, as their listings say.
Lead and hand washing
Most air gun pellets are made of lead (Pellet, air gun). Indiana University's Center for Urban Health gives three simple rules for range visitors (Shooting range lead safety):
"Thoroughly wash your hands, face, and any other exposed skin with cool, soapy water." "Hand sanitizer does not remove lead." "Never eat, drink, or smoke on the range."
So: wash with soap before you eat after a session, and keep snacks for after.

5. Metal pellets, plastic BBs or dummy rounds: what will you actually shoot?
At an air rifle or air pistol range you shoot small metal pellets, usually lead, 4.5 mm across. Gel blasters shoot soft water gel beads. Laser battle shoots light. "Dummy" rounds are a firearms training tool and are not used at these ranges.
Every projectile, side by side
| What leaves the gun | Made of | Size | Used in | Where you meet it on Awestruck |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diabolo pellet | Lead, or lead free tin, zinc or copper alloys | 4.5 mm (.177), sometimes 5.5 mm (.22) | Air rifles and air pistols | Most rifle and pistol sessions |
| Wadcutter pellet (flat head diabolo) | Lead | 4.5 mm | 10 metre target shooting | Target sessions, because it punches a clean round hole that is easy to score |
| Steel BB | Steel, often copper or zinc coated | About 4.5 mm | Many CO2 replica pistols with smooth barrels | Ask the range which a CO2 pistol uses |
| Plastic BB | Plastic | 6 mm | Airsoft guns | Not on Awestruck today |
| Gel bead | Water absorbing polymer, soaked before play | 7 to 8 mm | Gel blasters | Kids Gel Blaster, AirSoft India |
| Light | Infra red beam | None | Laser tag | Laser Battle Arena, Lower Parel |
| Dummy round (snap cap) | Inert, no powder, no primer | Same as a firearm cartridge | Practising firearm handling without firing | Licensed clubs only |
Sources: Pellet, air gun, Gel blaster.
Why a pellet looks like an hourglass
The common pellet is called a diabolo, or a wasp waist pellet. It has a solid head, a narrow waist and a thin, hollow skirt at the back. When air hits the skirt, the skirt flares and seals the barrel, so the push goes into the pellet and not around it. That shape also keeps the pellet flying nose first, like a shuttlecock.
Why match pellets have a flat head
Olympic 10 metre shooters use flat headed pellets called wadcutters. They cut a clean round hole in the paper, so the judge can see exactly which ring you touched (Pellet, air gun). On a 10 metre air rifle target every scoring ring is 5 mm wide, and in finals each shot is scored to one decimal, up to 10.9 (ISSF 10 metre air rifle).
Metal or plastic: does it hurt more?
A metal pellet is heavier and faster than a plastic BB or a gel bead, so it can do real harm to an eye or skin. That is why every range points every gun one way only, down the range, and why misuse ends a session at once. In India, harm caused with an air gun is punished the same way as harm caused with a firearm (Gun law in India).
What does 4.5 mm or .177 mean?
It is the width of the barrel and the pellet: 4.5 millimetres, or 0.177 of an inch. It is the size used in the Olympic 10 metre events. It also matters in law. Air guns above 0.177 inch bore, or above 20 joules of muzzle energy, can be sold only to someone with an arms licence (Arms Rules, 2016, Rule 84). More in Chapter 9.
Lead free pellets
Lead free pellets use metals such as zinc, iron, tin or copper and are much lighter than lead (Pellet, air gun). If lead worries you, ask the range whether it stocks them. Either way, wash your hands with soap after the session.

6. What happens on your first visit, step by step?
A first visit takes 30 to 60 minutes on the range, plus 15 to 30 minutes for check in and the safety briefing. You need no experience and no gear of your own. Here is the visit, in order.
The visit in ten steps
- Book a slot. Pick the range, date, time and number of people on the listing and pay. Your confirmation comes by email and on your phone.
- Eat before, not after. You cannot eat or drink on the range, and you will want to wash your hands before you eat afterwards.
- Dress simply. Closed shoes, easy clothes, hair tied back.
- Arrive early. 15 minutes at The Rising Gun, 15 to 30 minutes at AirSoft India and Sports Shot. Late arrivals can lose their slot.
- Check in. Show your booking at the counter. Tell the staff about any child, health condition or first timer in your group.
- Listen to the briefing. The coach explains the gun, the rules and the signals. This is not a formality. It is the part that keeps everyone safe.
- Learn the stance. For a rifle, stand side on to the target, feet about shoulder width apart, the rifle tucked into your shoulder and your cheek resting on the stock. For a pistol, stand side on, arm straight, other hand relaxed or in your pocket.
- Breathe, then squeeze. Breathe in, breathe out halfway, pause, and press the trigger slowly straight back. Let the shot surprise you.
- Stay still for one more second. Good shooters keep the sight on the target after the shot. Looking up to see the hit is the most common reason a shot goes wide.
- Count your score. The centre ring is 10, then 9, 8 and outward. Ask if you can keep your target card. It makes the best photo of the day.
Five mistakes almost every first timer makes
| Mistake | What it does | The fix |
|---|---|---|
| Gripping too hard | The gun shakes | Hold it like a handshake, firm not tight |
| Jerking the trigger | The shot pulls low or to the side | Press slowly, as if squeezing toothpaste |
| Holding your breath too long | Your eyes blur and arms shake after a few seconds | Pause briefly, shoot, breathe again |
| Looking up after the shot | The muzzle moves before the pellet leaves | Count "one" in your head before you look |
| Closing the wrong eye | The sight jumps when you aim | Find your strong eye first (poll below) |
What a good first session looks like
Your first five shots will scatter. That is normal. Somewhere between shot 10 and shot 20 most people stop forcing the aim and start holding still, and the holes move closer together. The goal on day one is not a 10. The goal is a tight group, wherever it lands. A tight group means you can be coached into the centre next time.
Bringing your phone
You can take photos before and after, but many ranges limit photos inside the shooting area. Ask the coach first. Put your phone on silent: a ring in the middle of someone's shot is the fastest way to make enemies at a range.
Try it now
Which is your strong eye?
Point a finger at something across the room with both eyes open. Close your left eye. Did your finger stay on the target?
your right eye is your strong eye. Most right handed shooters are the same.

7. How do you go from a first shot to Olympic level?
Every Olympic shooter started with a first shot. The path runs in five steps: try, repeat, train at a club, compete, and get picked. You can stop at any step and still enjoy the sport for life. NRAI even runs categories for shooters over 70.
10.8
Abhinav Bindra's last shot in the Beijing 2008 final. A 10 metre air rifle, the same distance you shoot on your first visit.
In the Beijing 2008 final, Abhinav Bindra needed one last shot. Olympics.com tells it in one line: "In the final attempt, Abhinav Bindra shot an almost-perfect 10.8 to bag the gold medal as Hakkinen managed only 9.7." It was India's first individual Olympic gold. It was a 10 metre air rifle, the same distance you will shoot on your first visit. (Olympics.com)
The five steps
| Step | What you do | Where | Sign you are ready for the next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Try | One guided session, 10 to 80 shots | Any range in Chapter 2 | You want to come back |
| 2. Repeat | 4 to 6 sessions with one gun, scores written down | The same range each time, so the coach knows you | Your groups get tighter week on week |
| 3. Train | Regular coaching at an academy or club | Coaching ranges such as 10x Shooting India, Thane or Gold Vision Shooting Academy, Goregaon, or club membership at the Maharashtra Rifle Association, Worli | Your coach suggests a competition |
| 4. Compete | District, then state, then national matches | State matches through the Maharashtra Rifle Association; national matches under the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) | You reach NRAI national matches in your age group |
| 5. Get picked | National team trials, then ISSF World Cups, Asian Games and Olympics | NRAI selection | Selection to the Indian team |
Age groups in Indian competition
The NRAI Match Book 2024 sets these groups (NRAI Match Book):
| Group | Age |
|---|---|
| Sub Youth | Below 16 |
| Youth | Below 18 |
| Junior and Senior | As per ISSF rules |
| Masters | 45 to 60 |
| Senior Masters | 60 to 70 |
| Super Masters | Above 70 |
Under the Arms Rules, 2016, a "junior target shooter" is someone aged 12 to below 21 who has taken part in a qualifying championship. People aged 12 to 21 may train with permitted firearms only under the direct supervision of an adult instructor or licence holder (Rule 36 and Rule 40).
Olympic shooting events: what they look like
| Event | Distance | Gun | Qualification | Final |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 m air rifle | 10 m | 4.5 mm air rifle, up to 5.5 kg | 60 shots, standing | 24 shots, scored to one decimal, up to 10.9 a shot |
| 10 m air pistol | 10 m | 4.5 mm gas driven pistol, up to 1.5 kg, trigger at least 500 g | 60 shots in 75 minutes | 24 shots, top 8 qualify |

| Athens 2004 | Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore | Double trap | Silver |

What the champions say
Manu Bhaker won two bronze medals at Paris 2024. She told The Week the line she repeats to herself as a shooter (The Week, Nov 2024):
"Do your work, don't think about the result."
And on what kind of sport it is:
"It is more of a mental sport."
That is the real reason a first session feels so good. For 30 minutes your mind does one thing.
Shooting club membership in Mumbai
The Maharashtra Rifle Association on Sir Pochkhanawala Road, Worli, has an indoor 10 m air range, a 25 m range with turning targets and a 50 m range, with coaches through the year. LBB lists its fees as: life membership ₹50,000 for Maharashtra residents, or ₹35,000 under 18; ordinary membership ₹18,000 to join plus ₹3,500 a year (LBB, Maharashtra Rifle Association). Check current fees with the association.
A new range is coming to Thane
The Maharashtra Urban Development Department has given in principle approval for a ₹26 crore shooting complex at Waghbil, near Hiranandani Estate, Thane. It plans 11 lanes at 10 m, 10 lanes at 25 m and 8 lanes at 50 m (Free Press Journal, 29 Jul 2026). Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik said: "Providing world-class training facilities and platform opportunities for local youth is essential for Thane's growth." No opening date has been announced.

8. How do you plan shooting for a birthday, a date, friends or a team?
Shooting works for groups because everyone gets the same number of shots and the score settles the argument. Most ranges take 5 to 10 people in one booking. For bigger groups, Awestruck splits the team across slots or ranges.

| Champions, all four | 1 to 10 | Through Awestruck support |

9. Do you need a licence, and can you shoot a real gun in Mumbai?
You need no licence to shoot a range's air rifles and air pistols under its supervision. A licence matters only when you buy a gun, and only above a power limit for air guns. Firearms that fire bullets need an arms licence, and in Mumbai you shoot them only as a member of a licensed club. This chapter explains the rules in plain words. It is not legal advice.
Shooting at a rangeNo licence neededThe range owns the guns and supervises you.

The rules in one table
| Question | Short answer | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Do I need a licence to shoot at a range? | No. The range owns the guns and supervises you on its premises | How every range on this page works |
| Can I buy a low power air rifle or pistol? | Yes, from an authorised dealer, with identity and address proof and an invoice. Low power means up to 20 joules and a bore of up to 0.177 inch (4.5 mm) | Arms Rules, 2016, Rule 84(3) |
| What about stronger air guns? | Above 20 joules or above 0.177 inch bore, they can be sold only to a valid arms licence holder, through an authorised dealer | Arms Rules, 2016, Rule 84(1) and 84(2) |
| Who makes and sells air guns? | Manufacture and sale of all air weapons by manufacturers is licensed | Arms Rules, 2016, Rule 84(1)(a) |
| Is there a certificate for licence free air guns? | Ministry of Home Affairs instructions from 2016 call for tested licence free air guns to get an "Arms License Not Required" certificate | Gun law in India, citing a Government of Mizoram memo of 25 May 2023 |
| Is harm with an air gun treated lightly? | No. Air gun use causing serious harm is punished the same way as with a firearm | Gun law in India |
| Can people under 21 train with firearms? | People aged 12 to 21 may use permitted arms for training only with an adult instructor or licence holder present | Arms Rules, 2016, Rule 36(1) |
Arms Rules, 2016: full text, Government of Odisha Home Department.
Real gun shooting in Mumbai: the licensed club route
Not as a walk in activity. Firearms fall under the Arms Act, 1959, and their use is tied to licences and licensed clubs. The Maharashtra Rifle Association in Worli trains members in "air weapons and small bore rifles" on 10, 25 and 50 metre ranges (LBB). Membership is the route in. For everyone else, the air guns on this page are the real thing, shot at the same 10 metre distance as the Olympic air events.
Why some guns look so real
The CO2 Glock 17 at DSPM and the CO2 revolver at AirSoft India are air guns built to look and handle like firearms. That is the fun of them. It is also why you should never carry one openly in public if you buy one: people nearby cannot tell it from a real gun.
What about AirSoft India's own guns?
AirSoft Gun India, the company behind the Goregaon arena, says in its published terms that it deals in ".177-calibre/4.5mm air guns within the applicable non-licensed category" and asks buyers to verify Indian laws before purchase or use (ThePrint, 25 Sep 2026).
Before you buy anything
- Shoot it at a range first.
- Buy only from an authorised dealer, with a proper invoice.
- Check the muzzle energy and calibre on the box against the 20 joule and 0.177 inch limits.
- Store it locked, away from children.
- Check the rules with your local police if you are unsure. Rules change.

FAQ: 33 questions about shooting in Mumbai
Every answer is two or three sentences, written to be quoted. Marked up as FAQPage schema.
Is my booking confirmed?
Yes. Your slot is confirmed the moment you pay, by email and on your phone, with the address and map.
Who checks the ranges?
Every range passes Awestruck's quality checks before it goes live. No range can pay for a higher place on this page.
What is Awwee?
Awestruck's AI. Tell it what you want, for example "rifle shooting near Andheri on Saturday for two", and it finds a slot and books it in the same chat.
Is shooting safe for a complete beginner?
Yes, when you follow the coach. Every session starts with a safety briefing, and the gun stays pointed down the range at all times. Misuse ends the session.
How long does a session take?
15 to 60 minutes on the range, depending on the listing. Add 15 to 30 minutes for check in and the briefing.
How many shots should I book the first time?
20 to 30. Fewer than 15 ends just as you start to improve. More than 60 tires most first timers.
Rifle or pistol first?
Rifle. It rests on your shoulder and cheek, so it is easier to hold still. Try pistol on your second visit, or book a combo and try both.
What should I wear?
Closed shoes, comfortable clothes and hair tied back. Champions does not allow open shoes.
Do I need to be fit?
No. You stand for 30 to 60 minutes and hold a gun that weighs a few kilos at most. Tell the coach if standing is hard for you.
Can I shoot with glasses on?
Yes. Keep them on. Tell the coach so they can help you line up the sight.
I am left handed. Is that a problem?
No. Tell the coach at check in. They will set you up for your strong side and strong eye.
Is it loud?
Air guns are far quieter than firearms. You hear a pop or a click, not a bang.
Do ranges give eye and ear protection?
Champions and Thrillville include safety gear, as their listings say. At other ranges, ask at booking.
Can I book for today?
Yes, as long as a slot is open. Live slots show on each listing.
Which ranges are open late?
Gold Vision runs slots until 10 PM every day. The Rising Gun is open until 9 PM.
Which ranges are open on Sunday and Monday?
Sports Shot is closed on Sundays. The Rising Gun is closed on Mondays. Champions in Andheri, Goregaon and Chembur close on Mondays. At Champions Powai, the Try Shooting session closes on Wednesdays and the other two sessions on Mondays. 10x Shooting India is closed on Thursdays. Check the slot calendar on each listing.
How do I pay?
Online, when you book, by UPI or card. The listed price is the all in price.
Can I cancel?
Within 5 minutes of booking you get a full refund to your Awestruck wallet. After that, the range's rule applies, from no cancellation to 48 hours' notice.
Can I bring my own air gun?
Ask the range before you go. The sessions on this page use the range's own guns and pellets.
Can I watch without shooting?
Ask the range. Space for watchers is small at most ranges.
Is alcohol allowed?
Do not drink before or at a range. Most listings ban smoking and alcohol inside.
Can I shoot if I am pregnant?
Ask your doctor first. Most pellets are lead, and ranges also ask you to mention any medical condition.
Is shooting good for a solo outing?
Yes. Several listings name solo visitors as a good fit, and you need no partner to score.
What is a good score for a first timer?
A tight group matters more than a high score. If most of your last 10 shots land close together, you are doing well.
What is a perfect shot?
The centre ring scores 10. In Olympic finals each shot is scored to one decimal, up to 10.9.
What is a 10 metre range?
A lane where the target hangs 10 metres from the firing line. It is the distance of the Olympic air rifle and air pistol events.
Is there airsoft in Mumbai?
Airsoft with plastic BBs is not on Awestruck today. AirSoft India's arena on Awestruck runs air gun target sessions and gel blasters.
Is there a shooting range in Navi Mumbai?
Not on Awestruck yet. From Vashi or Nerul, Champions Chembur is closest. From Airoli, try 10x Shooting India in Thane West.
Is there a shooting range in South Mumbai?
Sports Shot near Prabhadevi station is the closest bookable range. The Maharashtra Rifle Association in Worli is for members.
Where can I take shooting classes or join a shooting club?
At an academy or club. 10x Shooting India and Gold Vision Shooting Academy coach on their ranges. The Maharashtra Rifle Association in Worli trains members.
At what age can a child join competitions?
NRAI has a Sub Youth group for shooters below 16 and a Youth group below 18. A coach will tell you when your child is ready.
Do companies get a GST invoice?
Yes, when the outing is booked through Awestruck's corporate team. Use the team outing quote page.
How do I contact Awestruck?
Email connect@bookawestruck.com. For bookings, every listing has live slots and instant confirmation.
