Try Shooting theory
Want to try target shooting?
Our Try Shooting program lets you experience the excitement of shooting a pistol or rifle without needing a licence. Our experienced staff will take you through the safety basics and show you the right techniques so you can shoot with confidence in a safe, controlled environment.
You’ll get 50 rounds of ammunition using our .22 calibre pistol or rifle. We’ll score your session on our Olympic‑standard targeting system and you can take home a printout of your results to show off your accuracy.
What does the experience include?
- 50 rounds of ammunition on pistol or rifle
- One-on-one supervision by Range Staff
- Targets to take home
- Firearm and Range hire
- Safety equipment (hearing protection and safety glasses)
- Safety briefing (compulsory)
Note: Due to supervision requirements not all participants can shoot at once.
