Air rifle shooting is a firm favourite for team building and corporate events and it’s easy to see why. It’s simple to learn, surprisingly addictive, and suits a wide range of abilities. Forget what you’ve seen at the fairground, our air rifle setup is in a league of its own. With high-quality equipment, covered ranges, and a mix of paper targets, knock-downs and even the occasional exploding clay pigeon, this is proper target shooting that feels as impressive as it looks.
We kick things off with a short safety briefing and a chance to get to grips with the rifles. Shooting is done from a seated position, making it easy for everyone to take part. Our experienced instructors will be on hand throughout, helping teams stay safe and improve their aim. Once everyone’s comfortable hitting close-range targets, it’s onto the main event: a friendly competition at 20–50 paces where the points start to add up.
Teams score points by hitting a mix of classic paper targets, custom “knock down” challenges, and static clay pigeons, some of which even explode. The range is covered, so there’s no need to worry about the weather, and we can adjust shooting distances to suit your group. This activity has a habit of drawing people in. We often see delegates trying to squeeze in one more round before heading to lunch or dinner.
Air rifle shooting encourages patience, focus and a steady hand, but the format keeps things relaxed and inclusive. It’s competitive without being high-pressure, which makes it ideal for mixed teams and larger groups looking for something that’s easy to pick up and genuinely satisfying to master. Once your team gets going, they won’t want to stop. It’s a brilliant way to keep energy levels high and people having fun together.
