What Can I Expect

Junior target shooting experience in Bedfordshire - the fun shooting day your youngsters can't miss! Specially devised for 10 to 18 year olds, the kids will be trying out clays, air rifles and archery in one super exciting session. 

Your teens will spend around two hours on site and after a meet and greet from the staff, each child will be kitted out with all the equipment and safety gear they need for a fun and safe day out.

All instructors at this well-equipped venue at Riseley are experts in their fields and have the patience and enthusiasm to encourage kids to give these field sports a go and enjoy themselves.

First up is clay pigeon shooting. The juniors will be using specially adapted shotguns for their smaller frames that are easy to fire at the clays. They'll receive tips on how to hit the clays and plenty of chances to shoot. They will absolutely love it when they get their first hit!

Then they move on to air rifle practice, where the youngsters will shoot pellets at different types of target, from round bullseyes to rats (metal, rather than real ones of course!).

Archery then follows. This always creates the most laughs, as the kids really get into it, learning how to load up and draw the bow and then release the arrow to try and hit the bullseye.

Throughout this junior target shooting experience at this renowned Bedfordshire shooting ground, safety is of paramount importance. All instructors are fully qualified and trained to be able to host children's groups at the centre. It's a great day out for 10 to 18 year olds.
