First time at Osuva? Book an intro session
Would you like to get into shooting sports as a hobby—or simply try pistol shooting out of curiosity? Introductory sessions are designed for new customers visiting Osuva’s range for the first time who do not own a firearm. The session includes everything you need: range fee, firearm rental, ammunition, target, as well as guidance and supervision. All of our instructors speak English, so you won’t have any trouble making a reservation or understanding their instructions on the range.
During the Intro Sessions our experienced instructors are always by your side to ensure safe gun handling and give you tips on your shooting technique.

/Session
- A lecture covering weapons’ function, safety rules and range commands and the fundamentals of shooting (approx. 20 min.)
- Shooting! The range is 25 metres and we shoot five round strings of fire at standard bulls-eye type targets with a rimfire pistol. Our instructors will be within arms reach for the entire session to ensure you’re shooting safely and using proper technique (approx. 30 min.)
The Intro Session includes everything you need: the range fee, gun rental, eye and ear protection, target, ammunition as well as training and supervision on the range.
Intro Sessions are shot entirely using a rimfire pistol or revolver, as they are accurate and have low recoil and a mild report, making them easy and pleasant to shoot. If you’d like to try a larger gun on the same visit to our range, you can reserve a normal range session right after your intro session. Please note that our instructors have last say on which guns it is safe for a shooter to try.
Bring your friends along! Gather a group of at least six people, and we’ll reserve the range just for you. You’ll get to enjoy an Introductory Session as a private event with your own crew.
Welcome to an introductory session to try shooting! Book your slot by calling us at +358 9 8569 6980 (Mon–Fri 11–16) or by emailing info@osuva.com
ATTN!
Training is conducted in either Finnish or English. For safety reasons we cannot accept customers who do not understand either of the languages.
Please don't shoot while pregnant or nursing. The sound pressure and lead that are present when shooting may be harmful to the foetus / baby.
What do you need to bring?
- Some form of official photo ID We'll hang on to this while you're shooting. If you're 15 years old but not yet 18, we'll also need a written permission slip from your guardian. This must have a phone number we can use for verification.
- Relaxed clothing. We recommend a long-sleeve shirt with a relatively tight collar so that hot brass won’t fall under your shirt. We don’t recommend wearing high-heeled footwear or sandals while shooting.
- An open mind. Listen to what our instructors have to say; they’ve got a lot to give, even if you’re an experienced shooter. Remember that when it comes to shooting, there are no stupid questions. If you’re not crystal clear about something, ask!
- Please note, you must have a reservation to visit the range and we do not take reservations for the same day. Your reservation must be made on the previous office day at the latest. The fastest and most effective way to make your reservation is to call us at +358 9 8569 6980.

Shooting With Your Own Gun
If you own a gun and are a seasoned shooter, you can simply make a reservation for our range, although a safety briefing is still mandatory.
Please let us know about your previous experience when making your reservation so that our instructors know what to expect. Remember to take a photo ID and your firearms permits with you!
