Private Guided Shooting Escapade in Kapeeka Uganda
It turns out, the sound of a bullet is like the popping of a really fat balloon. Not at all like it sounds in movies. The further you get, the more flat it sounds; a bit like slapping a wooden board but really really loudly. There’s a smell too-metallic smoke.If I am only making these observations now, then you can guess that I have never been that close to a firing gun. In fact, I don’t like guns. But the trip to the shooting range at Kapeeka with Myler Africa safaris seems like a good way to shake off the COVID blues and get back into travel mode.One of the many effects of the pandemic is that traffic stops are not just about the condition of the car and driver anymore. They are also about the social distance and mandatory masks. The road to the shooting range reveals a wide green expanse. Add to that a few ponds, the sun in the sky, the birds in the air and Kapeeka, just 1 and a half hours out of the city presents a decent way to end your weekend.
