You’ll step into Girona’s unique powder-free shooting gallery and try real police pistols or rifles — no license needed. With expert local guidance, you’ll test your aim on giant screens against static or moving targets. Compete with friends or yourself, then cool off with a soft drink as you swap stories about your best shots. It’s safe but surprisingly thrilling.
I never thought I’d hold a Glock 17 in Girona, but there I was, hands a bit shaky, eyeing the row of weapons lined up like something out of a movie. The place didn’t smell like gunpowder — just a hint of metal and coffee from the vending machine in the corner. Our instructor, Jordi, grinned when he saw me hesitate. “No worries, it’s safer than it looks,” he said, and handed me a Beretta with this casual confidence that made me laugh a little. He showed us how to load it (well, sort of — no real bullets here), explaining each step so patiently you could tell he’d done this a thousand times.
The weirdest thing? When I pulled the trigger for the first time, there was this satisfying click and a jolt in my hand — nothing dangerous, but it felt real enough to make my heart jump. On these massive screens, targets popped up: some static, some moving fast enough to make me curse under my breath. My friend tried an AR15 and got way too competitive; we ended up racing each other for best score while Jordi kept score and gave us tips (“Don’t lock your elbows!”). There were families there too — one kid giggled every time his dad missed. Kind of funny how everyone gets drawn into it.
I didn’t expect to feel so focused or… weirdly proud when I finally hit three targets in a row. It’s not like any shooting gallery I’ve seen before — no loud bangs or scary stuff, just pure concentration and that little rush when you beat your own record. Oh, and they gave us cold sodas after (needed that). Walking out into Girona’s old streets afterward felt surreal — like I’d been somewhere else for an hour. Still think about that jolt in my palm sometimes.
