Is there a reasonably priced place where I can learn to improve my marksmanship in Seoul?

I've heard firearms are fairly restricted here (have met people with hand guns though), but I assume air guns are okay, since air rifle shooting is an Olympic sport. Any info?

oohhh an airsoft enthusiast.
Yes It's actually easily accessible and you can find them at many hobby shops.

However, if you are truly a gun enthusiast there are actually a number of gun ranges in Korea. I'm not sure about Seoul but I heard of the one in Busan.

I've walked past a "gun club" in Myeongdong a few times. I believe it was next to a Coffee Bean (one of the 100 Coffee Beans in Myeongdong). I'll ask next time I'm there.

There is a tourism website with links to real gun and air gun places in Seoul.

Know the link?

By the way, not exactly what I was looking for, but the first poster reminded me of airsoft (which is a military simulation like paintball) and I found this site which looks awesome! http://www.airsoftkorea.org

I'm thinking about joining that place, but also I want to get good at marksmanship, so if there are like cheap air gun ranges or something cheaper than the shooting range at Lotte I'd be down.

There's a gun range next to the ice rink at Lotte World. Handguns only. Forgot the prices exactly, but I think it's about 20,000 won for a magazine.

No, but I easily found it on a google search. You may try tour2korea.
