Why We Launched a Shooting Club by Khanpur Lake

Introduction

When people think of Khanpur Lake, they imagine water sports, scenic sunsets, and peaceful moments by the shoreline. But for us, it became something more — a place to not only reconnect with nature but also to channel focus, discipline, and controlled energy through something powerful: sports shooting.

That’s why we launched the Mabali Sports Shooting Club — the first of its kind in the area, offering a unique blend of precision, adventure, and purpose.

Here’s why we did it — and why it’s become one of the most meaningful additions to our journey.


1. Because Focus is a Skill — And Shooting Teaches It Instantly

In a world full of noise and distractions, we found that holding a weapon teaches stillness.

Whether it’s a 9mm pistol, a .22 rifle, or a traditional bow, shooting isn’t about pulling the trigger — it’s about learning:

  • Control
  • Focus
  • Patience
  • Safety

And where better to learn this than on the quiet hills above Khanpur, with nature all around?

Sports shooting isn’t about power — it’s about presence.


2. Because Not All Tourism Needs to Be Loud

Let’s be honest: most tourism spots in Pakistan are becoming crowded with music, noise, and chaos.

We wanted to offer something different — a structured, mindful, and skill-based activity that doesn’t just entertain but uplifts.

From archery to air gun practice, we designed the experience to feel grounded, disciplined, and even therapeutic.


3. Because Responsible Shooting is Rare — and Needed

In Pakistan, shooting sports are often misunderstood. Either they’re too elite or too unregulated.

We wanted to break that pattern by:

  • Offering safe, guided, family-friendly experiences
  • Training guests on basic safety protocols
  • Promoting shooting as a sport, not a threat

Our club is strictly monitored, alcohol-free, and built on the belief that responsibility can be taught — and enjoyed.


4. Because Guests Were Looking for Something New

Our guests at Mabali Island weren’t just asking for more water activities — they were asking for variety:

“Is there anything for teens who don’t swim?”
“My husband loves target practice. Anything here for him?”
“Can we do something thrilling but safe and short?”

So we answered with:

  • 9mm Pistol shooting (guided only)
  • .22 Caliber rifle practice
  • Air gun & Archery zones
    … all with trained supervision.

It added a new layer of adventure — one that doesn’t get your clothes wet, but does get your heart racing.


5. Because Khanpur Deserves More Than Just a Lake

Khanpur is beautiful. But it deserves more than just boat rides and jet skis.

It deserves:

  • Skill-based tourism
  • Confidence-building activities
  • Sports that teach more than they entertain

And with this club, we’re proud to contribute something meaningful — not just to our guests, but to the evolution of tourism in Pakistan.


💭 Final Thoughts

The Mabali Sports Shooting Club is not just a range — it’s a reflection of our values:

  • Discipline over chaos
  • Safety over shortcuts
  • Growth over gimmicks

So whether you’re a first-time shooter or someone looking to reconnect with focus, we invite you to experience it firsthand.

Because here at Khanpur, we don’t just create memories —

We aim with purpose. And shoot with presence.
