Air rifle shooting, which I took up after coming to Indonesia and learning that the first friend I made in Bali shoots as a hobby...
In Korea it could never be a hobby because owning and using firearms isn't free. In Indonesia there are no special restrictions on .177 caliber air rifles.

When I lived in Bali I could shoot at targets in the garden... but after moving to Jakarta it wasn't possible in the city.
When I first came to Jakarta there was an unused space in the parking tower at Kemang Village, so I could do some target shooting now and then.

After the pandemic I decided to look for a proper shooting range, and what I found was the state-run Senayan shooting range.
On my first visit athletes were practicing, and I could also see club members shooting live firearms (powder guns) outside.
For powder guns, when I asked the shop about prices, 100 rounds of 9mm ammunition costs 3jt and it all has to be used up on the day.
Both rifles and handguns are available for rental, apparently.
Since it isn't 5.56mm NATO ammunition, it seemed they use MP5-type rifles and handguns chambered in 9mm.

When I asked at the gun store operating inside the range, a Glock 17 normally goes for around 600,000 won... but in Indonesia it costs about 100 million rupiah (roughly 10 million Korean won). What's more, just like air rifles in Korea, individuals can't keep them at home and have to leave them in the range's custody.
At the air rifle range you don't have to move around yourself to put up targets — the safety staff do almost all of the work.
Opening hours are 08:00 to 17:00. The daily rental fee for a spot at the air rifle range is 200,000 rupiah. That's the price when you bring your own gun. If you want to rent one,
it would be best to ask the range directly. ^^
