    Air rifle shooting sessions at the Venture Centre take place in our indoor shooting range.

    Your instructor will guide you through the basics of air rifle shooting as well as the strict range protocol, before you get to grips with aiming and firing at your target.

    Sessions will include target practice as well as games and competitions for your group.

    At the end of the session each person will get to take their target home as a souvenier.

Target archery takes place under our dutch barn, semi indoors, and sheltered from the worst of the weather. You will need to wear warm clothes if it is a cold day, and on hot days please ensure you wear a long sleeve top/ t-shirt.

Field archery takes place outdoors around our woodland and field couse. If it has been raining it can be a little muddy so please wear appropriate clothes and footwear.
