Air Rifle, Air Pistol, Airsoft & Archery Range Hire
Explore our purpose-built shooting and archery ranges in the National Forest, North West Leicestershire. Bring your own equipment and enjoy pay-as-you-go practice with no annual membership fees.
Air Rifle Ranges
Our 90 Yard Air Rifle Range offers paper target facilities from 20 to 90 yards, alongside plinking targets. It is ideal for shooters who want to zero their own rifle, test pellets and practise at known distances.
Our covered 60 Yard Precision Plinking Range and 80 Yard Plinking Range offer a variety of targets for accuracy practice, range judging and recreational shooting.
For woodland practice, explore our HFT / FT Course.
New 25 Metre Benchrest Range
Our 25 Metre Air Rifle Benchrest Range provides a dedicated setting for precision paper target shooting, with seven individual lanes.
- A fixed shooting distance of 25 metres.
- Fixed shooting benches for a stable shooting platform.
- Comfortable padded seating.
- Large target plates accommodating both landscape and portrait paper targets.

Bring your own air rifle, shooting equipment, paper targets and magnets to secure your targets.
Air Pistol & Airsoft Ranges
Our pistol ranges offer a choice of shooting distances and target types. The 17 and 25 Yard Pistol Ranges have wind-out paper target facilities as well as plinking targets.
The 40 Yard Pistol Range offers a wide variety of plinking targets and is particularly good fun with scoped air pistols and airsoft guns. We prefer biodegradable BBs when using airsoft guns.
Archery Range
Our Archery Range has four individual lanes, with two foam targets on each lane positioned at 16 and 26 yards. Lanes are not shared with other archers, giving you your own dedicated space for your booked session.
Recurve and compound bows are welcome. Crossbows and hunting arrows are not permitted. Bring your own bow, arrows, paper targets and target pins.
