Shooting Range

Take aim at Hover Force's outdoor target sports complex. 50m in length, our custom-built shooting venue includes air pistols, air rifles, and our very own Live Fire .22 Rimfire Range. All activities are fully insured, overseen by instructors who are ex-armed forces and certified by the National Smallbore Rifles Association (NSRA).

We have 30 firing lanes with provision for standing, sitting, kneeling, and prone positions, as well as facilities for disabled participants. We cater for kids, too, with a minimum age limit of 10.

We offer several more exciting target sports, including crossbow shooting, archery and combat archery, and the UK's largest outdoor axe throwing arena.

Our target shooting range is perfect for groups, corporate team building, or individuals and is a fantastic addition to a multiple event day package.

We have a variety of airguns to hone your technique on. Although if you are coming for the real guns, then we have a selection of semi-automatic and bolt action equipment. Our friendly and experienced shooting range officers will coach you on how to handle the guns correctly, so you get the most out of them.

Safety is extremely important. We ensure you are properly educated and protected from harm. You DO NOT NEED A FIREARMS LICENCE.

Shooting is the only activity at Hover Force that is protected by an Act of Parliament. In accordance with the Firearms Act 1968 Section 21 each participant MUST be able to declare the following:
