should be, because there are Khmer sports shooters so I'd imagine there are clubs or that some of the ranges must have

There are a few shooting ranges around Phnom Penh, which I’ve been to a couple. Proper ones, enclosed, with firearms in good order. But this is the 5.56/7.62/9mm stuff. Just to see if I can still hit the side of a barn, reasonably safely.

I’ve no idea about anything else, though.
What's the cost per round?

It varies, between $1 for .22 LR and $10 for a .50 , shotgun shells are expensive too. I've been to the indoor Phnom Penh Shooting Club, Hanuman Range is good too. They have lots of modern weapons, not like those countryside places with the dodgy 50-year-old B40 rockets etc.

These are the two ranges that I’ve been to, and fairly conveniently located.

The subject title of this post was '' Skeet & Trap'' reply coments are more oriented to conventional shooting ranges.

It looks like a well organised place, and a very expensive hobby. I used to have guns in the 90's and could easily blow through 100+ rounds in the range; that's a $250+ day out here.

I think this is by design so that drunk cops won't hit anything when they go rampaging.

Imagine if target practicing was a cheap hobby, people would get hurt.

I was looking at one of these places a few months back. I calculated it was cost me $400+ for one outing. Needless to say I passed.

Or so some would have you believe.

Is that available again?

It was banned by the Queen mother some time back.

Something about not in accordance with the Buddhist values of Cambodia.

Same as the ban on openly spit roasting whole cows on the sidewalk.

I thought it was good value and interesting, I had never fired anything other than .177 air rifles, my dad's 12 guage or a friend's .22 rifle before. Pistols were very restricted when I was young.

I’ve no idea, I have no interest in guns or blowing things up.
I was joking about the bar room talk where gullible idiots insisted that you could blow up a cow for a fraction of the cost of a cow.
There is a ban on spit roasting cows? Dogs ok, but cows no? Seems weird & I’ve never heard of it.
Are cows significant in Buddhism?
