Introduction
While we haven’t personally tried the Gun Fun – Femme Fetal Indoor Shooting experience, it certainly catches the eye for anyone curious about combining a bit of adrenaline with a safe, beginner-friendly environment. This ladies-only package offers a chance to handle a variety of pink firearms, from pistols to rifles, in an indoor facility right in the heart of Cape Town.
What we love about this experience is its focus on safety and accessibility, making it ideal for those new to shooting sports. Plus, the indoor setting provides a controlled, comfortable environment, and the fact that it’s the only indoor range in the city center makes it even more appealing for a quick, convenient thrill.
