2026 Ho Chi Minh City Indoor Shooting Range Recommendations | Saigon Sniper Non-live-fire Shooting Experience Guide

If you don't want to go to the Cu Chi Tunnels, you can still try shooting in the city.

Many people visiting Ho Chi Minh City want to try a shooting experience, but when they think about the Cu Chi Tunnels being far from the city center, requiring a half-day or full-day trip, and that live-fire shooting can be nerve-wracking for some travelers, they hesitate. In fact, near District 1 there is a more convenient option: Saigon Sniper.

This is an indoor 10-meter sport shooting range using airguns and sport shooting equipment—not the live-fire shooting like at the Cu Chi Tunnels. It's suitable for those who want to experience aiming, pulling the trigger, and hitting the target paper, but who are worried about distance or don't want to deal with live ammunition.

Address and transport location

Saigon Sniper's District 1 branch is located at 25 Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm, Bến Nghé, Quận 1, Hồ Chí Minh, with the range inside Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm Sports Club. Going from District 1 attractions by Grab is usually much more convenient than going to Cu Chi.

Official opening hours are about daily 08:00–22:00; it may be busier on weekends and for group events, so booking in advance is recommended.

How does indoor shooting work?

Upon arrival, staff will first explain safety rules, how to hold the gun, aiming methods, and the shooting procedure; even those with no experience can start under guidance.

The venue has multiple 10-meter shooting lanes, each position with its own shooting table, airgun, and target paper. You can stand behind the firing line, place the gun in the designated spot as instructed, aim at the distant target paper, and fire shot by shot. After finishing you can take the target paper back to see if you hit the center — many visitors like to keep it as a souvenir.

How to choose between Classic, Sporty, and Advanced?

The on-site price list is divided into three levels: Classic, Sporty and Advanced. About 30 shots cost 100,000、140,000 and 195,000 Vietnamese dong, roughly HK$29／NT$116／人民幣¥27, HK$41／NT$162／人民幣¥38 and HK$57／NT$226／人民幣¥52.

For a first experience you can start with Classic 30 shots; Sporty and Advanced are suitable for those who want to use higher-end equipment or compete with friends. Heavier equipment may not suit people with weaker arm strength, so ask staff before choosing.

The price list also includes 60, 80, 100, 120 and 240 shot options; for example Classic 120 shots is about 280,000 越南盾, roughly HK$81／NT$324／人民幣¥73. Prices are subject to the latest on-site list.

How is this different from live-fire shooting at the Cu Chi Tunnels?

They are completely different experiences. The Cu Chi Tunnels focus on outdoor live-fire shooting and are far from the city center; Saigon Sniper is an urban indoor 10-meter range, with advantages of convenient transport, flexible timing, and relatively lower psychological pressure.

If you want to try shooting but don't want to travel too far, or if someone in your group is afraid of live ammunition, Saigon Sniper is an easy-to-accept introduction. It is another kind of indoor activity that emphasizes focus, aiming, and competition.

Safety and participation tips

Before shooting, be sure to follow staff instructions; do not rotate firearms yourself or point the muzzle in directions other than at the target paper; get permission before taking photos. Continuous shooting for a long time may cause shoulder and arm fatigue.

It is recommended to book in advance via the official website, Facebook Messenger, or Zalo, especially on weekends and when going with a group.

If you want to relax in the center of District 1 after shooting, you can go to Win Royal Spa. The shop is located at 48 Lê Thị Hồng Gấm, District 1, open daily 09:00–22:00; play indoor shooting in the city first, then arrange a Vietnamese head-wash massage — the schedule is easier to control than making a special trip to Cu Chi.

Overall, Saigon Sniper is suitable for travelers who are afraid of live ammunition, have limited time, or want to compete with friends. Although it's not live ammunition, there are target papers, scores, and the satisfaction of successful aiming, making it a great half-day city activity.
