You’re planning a bachelor party in Austin. You found a tactical shooting experience. Now you’re staring at three packages wondering what the difference actually is.
$299/person. $899/person. $2,999/person.
That’s a massive spread. Is the expensive option 10x better? Is the cheap option a waste of time?
Here’s the honest breakdown.
Tier 1: Bullets & Bros — $299/person
What’s included: 2 hours of tactical rifle shooting. Private outdoor facility. Professional firearms instruction. All ammunition included. Multiple rifle platforms. Competition format. Safety gear provided.
What’s NOT included: Machine guns. Video/photo package. Transportation. Catering.
The experience: Private outdoor range, professional instruction, safety and fundamentals training, then shooting with reactive steel targets, movement drills, and competition. Head-to-head matchups, timed drills, leaderboard tracking.
Who it’s for: Groups on a budget. Bachelor parties with tight schedules. First-timers who want real instruction.
The honest take: At $299/person for 2 hours of private tactical training with all ammo included, this is exceptional value. This package alone will be better than 95% of bachelor party shooting experiences.
Early bird bonuses: Special gun added to package. Extra mag per shooter. Free TF hat per shooter. Value: $500–1,500.
Tier 2: Groom’s Last Shot — $899/person
What’s included: Everything in Tier 1, PLUS 1–2 hours of machine gun shooting. 70+ machine guns to choose from. MP5, M60, Thompson, UZI. Video and photography package. Transportation. Catering. Anti-tank cannon shot for the groom.
Total experience time: 4 hours
The experience: Tactical rifle training, then machine guns come out. Belt-fed M60s. Suppressed MP5s. Tommy guns. Professional photographers capture everything. Transportation handles logistics.
Who it’s for: Groups who want “the highlight of the trip.” Bachelor parties that want machine guns. Grooms who deserve something special.
The honest take: The jump from $299 to $899 is significant — but what you get is dramatically different. Machine guns are the differentiator. You literally cannot shoot a belt-fed M60 at a public range.
Early bird bonuses: Anti-tank cannon shot for groom. Extra belt per shooter. Value: $1,250–3,000.
Tier 3: The Ultimate — $2,999/person
What’s included: Everything in Tier 2, PLUS aerial gunnery (shooting from helicopter). Extended machine gun time. 50-cal belt-fed machine gun per shooter. Premium catering. Luxury transportation. Full professional video/photo production.
Total experience time: 6–8 hours
The experience: Tactical rifle training, machine guns, then you get in a helicopter. Aerial gunnery. Every shooter gets time on the Ma Deuce — a 50-caliber belt-fed machine gun.
Who it’s for: Groups who want once-in-a-lifetime experiences. High-budget bachelor parties. Grooms who are gun enthusiasts.
The honest take: $2,999/person is serious money. But what else can you do for $24,000 (group of 8) that’s this memorable? Aerial gunnery. Fifty-cal machine guns. Professional production. This is stuff you tell your grandkids about.
Which Package Should You Book?
Book Tier 1 ($299) if: Budget is the primary constraint. You have limited time. Most of your group has never shot before.
Book Tier 2 ($899) if: You want machine guns. Professional content matters. The groom deserves something special.
Book Tier 3 ($2,999) if: Money is not the limiting factor. You want once-in-a-lifetime. Aerial gunnery is on the bucket list.
