Why Air Rifle Shooting?

The sport of target shooting has many benefits, including:

• It is challenging on an individual level and is very personal to the shooter.
• Although competing as an individual, shooters are part of a team.
• It is very inclusive, with disciplines and equipment suitable for many levels of ability. This includes people with physical impairments and also visual impairments, often competing on equal terms with able bodied people.
• It helps to improve personal skills such as self-discipline and control, co-ordination, focussed concentration, patience, and self-awareness.
• Anyone participating will learn about and apply safety rules, control and discipline whilst on the shooting range.
• It teaches people about the law and the consequences of breaking it.
• It helps people to make decisions about their own behaviour and what is or is not acceptable to others.
• Its FUN and you will leave with a sense of achievement!
