Somewhere between the fifth temple and the third waterfall of a Bali trip, a lot of travelers start looking for something that does not involve sarongs or sunscreen. If you have ever wondered what it feels like to hold a real firearm and fire it under proper supervision, Bali Fire Shooting Club in Sanur is one of the few places on the island where that is actually possible. This guide walks through everything worth knowing before booking, from the weapons on offer to the price, the booking process, and a few details that shorter write ups tend to leave out.
What Is Bali Fire Shooting Club
Bali Fire Shooting Club opened in 2018 and has operated since then as Bali’s first and only indoor shooting range Bali venue offering real firearms with live ammunition. A couple of other indoor spots on the island run airsoft setups, but for an actual firearm experience under a roof, this is still the only option. It sits in Sanur, on the eastern side of Denpasar, in a part of Bali known more for its calm beaches than its adrenaline activities.
The club offers supervised shooting sessions using real firearms, along with archery and axe throwing for visitors who want to try more than one activity in a single trip. Everything runs on a walk in or reservation basis rather than fixed group tours, so sessions are built around whoever shows up that day.
Location and how to get there
Bali Fire Shooting Club is located at Jl. Bypass Ngurah Rai No.206, Sanur Kauh, Denpasar Selatan. This shooting range Sanur address sits right along the main bypass road, which makes it easy to reach from most parts of south Bali but not exactly walkable from a hotel unless you happen to be staying in Sanur itself.
Since the route runs along a busy highway with limited public transport options, most visitors find it more convenient to arrange a Bali car rental with driver rather than trying to get there on their own. The club is open every day from 9.30 in the morning until 6 in the evening, which leaves enough flexibility to fit a session into most itineraries, whether that means going before the afternoon heat sets in or later in the day after a morning at the beach.
Weapons and Activities Available
Part of what makes a visit here worth planning around is the range of options on the floor. You are not limited to a single rental gun and a stack of paper targets, there is a genuine spread of firearms to try, plus a couple of activities that do not involve a trigger at all if you would rather ease into the day differently.
Firearms you can shoot
The range offers a small but varied lineup of firearms, which is part of what makes the experience interesting even for first timers. The Glock 17 is a 9mm semi-automatic pistol with a 17 round magazine, light enough to handle comfortably and one of the most recognizable handguns used for training around the world. For something closer to a rifle, the pistol caliber carbine fires the same 9mm handgun ammunition but handles more like a long gun, which some visitors find easier to aim.
Those looking for something with more of a kick can try the Steyr SSG 08, a bolt action sniper rifle chambered in 7.62 caliber, or the AYA Coral, a 12 gauge shotgun. Both require a bit more guidance from the instructor, but that is exactly what the supervised setup is there for.
Beyond shooting: archery and axe throwing
If firearms are not quite your thing, or if you are traveling with someone who prefers a gentler introduction, the club also offers archery and axe throwing on site. These activities use the same supervised format, so you get instruction and safety equipment either way, and they can work well as a warm up before moving on to the firearms if you want to ease into the day.
Is Bali Fire Shooting Club Legal and Safe
Shooting real firearms as a tourist can sound like it exists in a legal gray area, but in Bali it does not. Bali Fire Shooting Club operates under a license from PERBAKIN, the Persatuan Menembak Indonesia, which is Indonesia’s official governing body for shooting sports. PERBAKIN was founded in 1960 and is a member of Indonesia’s National Sports Committee as well as the International Shooting Sport Federation, so a license from them reflects an actual regulatory approval rather than a marketing claim.
On the safety side, sessions run with a trainer present throughout, and the club provides eye and ear protection along with a briefing before you handle any firearm. That said, like any activity involving live ammunition, outcomes depend a lot on how strictly procedures are followed on the day. It is worth taking a few minutes to look through recent Bali Fire Shooting Club review posts before booking, the same way you would for any adventure activity that carries some inherent risk.
Bali Fire Shooting Club Price and Packages
Packages at the club are built around bullet count rather than a flat entry fee, which is a common structure at shooting range Bali venues in general. The three main options are labeled PUBG A, B, and C, offering 8, 20, and 42 bullets respectively across the available firearms, so you can choose based on how much time and ammunition you want to work through.
The official website does not list fixed prices for these packages, and third party booking platforms show rates that shift often enough that quoting a specific number here would likely be outdated by the time you read this. The most reliable approach is to contact the club directly through WhatsApp for current Bali Fire Shooting Club price information before you finalize your plans.
How to Book Your Shooting Experience
Booking is handled directly through WhatsApp or a reservation form on the club’s website rather than an online payment system, so you will need to reach out in advance to confirm availability and get exact pricing for your preferred package. This also gives you a chance to ask questions about the firearms or the session format before you arrive.
Age requirements listed across different booking sources are not entirely consistent, with some citing 14 as the minimum age and others citing 17, so it is worth confirming the current policy directly with the club when you book rather than assuming either figure applies. Alcohol and drugs are prohibited before and during any session, which is standard for a range handling live ammunition and firearms.
What to Do Near Sanur After Your Shooting Session
Sanur has a slower pace than Kuta or Canggu, which makes it a fitting place to wind down after an activity that runs on adrenaline. Sanur Beach is a short drive from the club and offers calm water, a long beachfront promenade for walking or cycling, and enough beachfront cafes to make an easy afternoon out of it once your session is over.
If you are staying elsewhere in Bali and only planning a day trip to the area, pairing the shooting session with a couple of hours at the beach is an easy way to make the most of the drive out to Sanur rather than heading straight back.
Pecatu Shooting Range by Bali Touristic: A Different Outdoor Option
It is worth being clear about something before going further. Pecatu Shooting Range is a completely different venue from Bali Fire Shooting Club. It has a different location, a different owner, and no affiliation with the club in Sanur that this guide has been describing. The two are sometimes mentioned together simply because they are the two shooting venues most commonly booked by tourists in Bali, not because they are connected in any way.
Pecatu Shooting Range is located on the Bukit Peninsula in South Bali, roughly 25 minutes from Kuta, and it is the only tourist licensed outdoor shooting range on the island. Sessions run on an IPSC standard course, which is the reaction shooting format used in competitive shooting, so instead of standing still at a fixed target you move through a course engaging multiple targets under time pressure. It uses live ammunition outdoors rather than the indoor setup in Sanur, and pricing starts from Rp1,500,000 per session, which does not include pick up or drop off.
If an outdoor, competition style format sounds more appealing than an indoor range, Pecatu Shooting Range can be booked directly through Bali Touristic and is worth considering as an alternative rather than a substitute for the experience at Bali Fire.
Ready to Add Some Adventure to Your Bali Itinerary
Whether you end up booking a session at Bali Fire Shooting Club, trying the outdoor course at Pecatu, or deciding a shooting range is not quite your speed after all, Bali still has plenty to offer around Sanur and beyond. If you would like help building a day around this kind of activity, or want it worked into a wider private tour in Bali, Bali Touristic can put together an itinerary that fits your pace and the rest of your trip, arranged directly through WhatsApp.
