Archery and rifle shooting combine for a thrilling experience in Leicestershire! You can choose a traditional archery lesson which will last around an hour, or you can go for the combo of archery and rifle shooting for an hour in total.

Either way, you'll love the military-style setting on the farm near Leicester. All kitted up and ready to go, your professional archery instructors will give you a full safety and technical briefing so you know just how to handle that bow and arrow. Then it's off to the target range to try and score as many bullseyes as you can in your hour.

If you opt for the archery and rifle combination, after a 30 minute archery session you'll head over to the trench rifle range. Purpose-built with steel bunkers and sandbags, the range has a proper combat feel to it, which is bound to motivate you to hit those targets spot on. Rifles used are actually precharged, bolt action sniper rifles, so there's no faffing with loading and unloading, you just need to get down into your crouch stance, take aim and get firing!

Whether you choose archery or the archery and rifle combination, this setting in Leicestershire makes for a exhilarating outdoor experience for individuals or groups of up to six people for the archery and 12 for the combined activity. 

For both experiences participants will receive a full welcome and safety briefing, an introduction to the equipment and an hours experience on the shooting range with the help of instructions.The combo experience allows for 30 minutes Archery plus 30 minutes Air Rifles. Air Rifle sessions take place on a re-created trench range using pre-charged bolt action sniper air rifles. You may form part of a group with 5 other participants on the day.
