Check out this shooting range at New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City:
The Bureau of Correction authorities mostly use the BuCor Shooting Range to practice firing and handling guns, but anyone who wants to try it out can come in. The shooting range has five shooting ranges that are all separated by a concrete wall with markings of distance from the targets at the other end of the range.
According to BuCor Shooting Range's range officer, the rate is at a flat P1,500/day and there is no time limit. Yes, you can stay there for the whole day. This fee covers the guidance of a professional to teach you the proper posture, the fundamentals of pistol marksmanship, and the safe use of a 9-mm gun.
The range officer also explained that the P1,500 rate can be shared between a large group of people. Say, if you were a group of five people who want to experience the shooting range, you can divide the P1,500 payment among yourselves which means each person pays P200 each.
What's not included in the P1,500 rate are the pistols, and each pistol costs P17. If you were to stay the whole day—from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.—you'll need a lot of those pistols. It would be best to pad your pistol budget as much as you can. And for payment, it's recommended to bring cash.
How to get to the BuCor Shooting Range:
Route 1: If you're coming from Alabang or Bacoor, you can go through Daang Reyna and turn at the roundabout right across from Evia Lifestyle Center. If you go this route, be prepared for roads that are under construction and narrow roads as it passes through residential houses before arriving at the shooting range.
Route 2: The easier, less stressful (especially if you have a six-seater car or bigger) route is to go through South Luzon Expressway and take the Bacoor Exit. You'll go through the Insular Prison Road before getting to the guard house.
Upon arriving at the guard house, the driver needs to leave his or her identification card for the entire duration the passengers are inside. The identification card can be retrieved upon exiting.
Burea of Corrections Shooting Range is at New Bilibid Prison, 1776 Sampaguita Road, Poblacion, Muntinlupa City. It's open daily from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Rates start at P1,500.
