The newly built Axe throwing range. Photos by Althea Engman Angel Rodriguez, sales manager and trainer for Bargain Tactical, is new to the island and said he saw an opportunity to create something for Guam, something he saw was popular back in his home state.
Rodriguez told The Journal that he took on the challenge given to him by the owner of Bargain Tactical to create the space by himself after “sharing an interest in creating this range.”
With his background working for motion pictures and set building, Rodriguez used his skills, brought them to the Bargain Tactical team and built the range in just a few months.
People interested can book an appointment over the phone or come into the store and try activities open to all ages.
RodriguezRodriguez said training is for the safety of individuals and those around them.
“The same regulations and protocols apply to when you are using an actual firearm when you learn how to shoot an airsoft gun as well as archery.”
He said, “A good amount of people have inquired and came in to try it out. … Bargain Tactical has received numerous positive feedbacks.”
Rodriguez said growth is in discussion. “There are future plans to expand the space, adding lounge space for possible space reservations once more and more people show their support for this new thrill.”
The services range from $10 to $45 depending on time, axe throws, and gun magazine usage.
“The more people we introduce this service to the more it could expand the community on the island, adding a new activity for people to do,” Rodriguez said.
