Archery and Rifle Shooting

Archery and Rifle Shooting

Our exciting and action packed shooting courses allow you to learn and practice three different types of shooting; Archery, air rifles and shotgun clay pigeons. The Archery element of the day starts with practise on the Target Range, learn to shoot our range of Re Curve Bows at the classic circular multi coloured targets, then progresses onto 'Field' Archery which can be likened to simulated Bow Hunting.

Air Rifle Shooting again starts on a small and controlled range so we can get you shooting safely and accurately at card Competition Targets. Then it's a change of scenery as you make your way to the field shooting area. The metal targets give you a feeling of how tricky it is to control vermin armed with an Air Rifle and we will see if you can be the air rifle 'Verminator'!

Shotguns have been used for hundreds of years to hunt wildfowl and game but on this exciting session you will be shooting at Clay Pigeons, we simulate a variety of different birds that come in from in front and to the side, in singles and in pairs such as Driven Pheasant, Dropping Duck or Crossing Pigeon. With our instructors careful tuition you will soon be tackling the more tricky of the birds in no time at all.

The shooting sports that we offer at Essential Adventure Ltd are safe, exciting and very addictive, they help to increase hand/ eye coordination and discipline. Shooting is a sport that everyone can succeed at regardless of age, fitness or gender. So join us in a beautiful location with stunning views and enjoy a fantastic day of Shooting Safely.
