15 lanes – 30 targets – realistic woodland shooting practice.
Set within our woodland in the National Forest, our HFT/FT Air Rifle Course offers a varied and challenging shooting experience with changing distances, angles, target sizes and shooting positions.
Whether you are practising for HFT or FT competition, developing your field shooting skills or simply looking for something different from a fixed range, the course gives you the opportunity to practise in a natural woodland environment.
Each shooting peg indicates a shooting position, such as prone, standing or kneeling. However, we operate the course as a training facility, so if you are uncomfortable with the indicated position, you may shoot the target from a position that is suitable for you or use shooting sticks.
• 15 shooting lanes
• 30 targets, with 2 targets per lane
• A mix of distances, angles and target sizes
• Natural woodland shooting environment with a woodchip base
• HFT and FT-style target layouts
• A variety of shooting positions throughout the course
Each lane presents a different challenge, helping you develop accuracy, consistency, range judgement and field shooting skills.
Our 15-lane course is set throughout the woodland, with two targets on each lane and a variety of distances, angles and target positions to create a realistic field shooting experience.
• Targets positioned at varying distances
• Natural woodland features
• A mix of target sizes and kill zones
• Clearly defined shooting lanes and pegs
• Different shooting positions throughout the course
The changing layout encourages you to judge each shot individually rather than simply shooting repeatedly at a known distance, making it ideal for developing the skills used in HFT and FT shooting.
• Pre-book your HFT / FT course session through our online booking system.
• On your first visit, you will need to watch our safety induction video and complete your induction.

• Move through the woodland course at your own pace, following the designated lanes and shooting pegs. You can do the course as many times as you like within your time.
• Follow all range safety procedures throughout your session.
This is a self-managed shooting environment, so all users share responsibility for helping to maintain a safe and enjoyable course.

Unlike shooting repeatedly at known distances on a fixed range, the woodland course gives you a constantly changing shooting challenge.

It is an ideal next step after practising your zero, accuracy and holdover on our
fixed air rifle ranges.
If you need to check your zero, test pellets or learn your rifle's trajectory at known distances before using the woodland course, our
90 Yard Air Rifle Zeroing Range has paper target holders from 20 to 90 yards.
