Fully Covered Shooting Bays Near York
All air rifle shooting at Yorkshire Outdoor Activity Park takes place in fully covered shooting bays, meaning rain, wind or poor weather will not affect the experience. This makes air rifle shooting a reliable activity choice for groups planning ahead, including corporate events and celebrations.
The covered environment also creates a calm, controlled setting, allowing participants to focus on technique, accuracy and enjoyment without distraction
Unique Sectioned Shooting Bays for Maximum Safety
Safety is central to how our air rifle shooting range has been designed.
Each shooting bay is fully sectioned with solid side walls, providing complete separation between participants. This means shooters cannot accidentally aim or fire towards one another. This level of mechanical safety is not offered by other venues, many of which rely solely on spacing and supervision.
Our bay design ensures:
• Clear, individual shooting lanes
• Physical separation between participants
• Controlled shooting direction at all times
• Instructor visibility and oversight
This design allows sessions to run confidently and calmly, even for first-time shooters.
Air Rifles Suited to All Participants
We use a selection of air rifles suited to adults, women and smaller participants, ensuring everyone can take part comfortably and confidently.
Rifles are chosen for ease of use, balance and reliability, allowing participants to focus on technique rather than struggling with unsuitable equipment. Instructors assist with rifle selection and setup, making the experience accessible to a wide range of abilities.
Wheelchair Accessible Air Rifle Shooting
Our air rifle shooting range is wheelchair accessible, allowing participants with mobility requirements to take part fully in the experience.
Accessibility is built into the design of the range and bays, ensuring that air rifle shooting at Yorkshire Outdoor Activity Park is inclusive and welcoming rather than restrictive.
Structured Sessions With Tuition and Competition
Air rifle shooting sessions follow a clear, proven structure designed to build confidence and enjoyment.
Practice Rounds and Tuition
Sessions begin with instructor-led tuition, covering safe handling, correct stance, breathing and trigger control. Participants then complete practice rounds with guidance and feedback.
Competition Stage
Once confident, sessions progress into a structured competition, allowing participants to apply what they have learned in a fun, focused format.
This progression ensures everyone feels comfortable before competing and keeps sessions engaging from start to finish.
Certificates of Achievement for Every Participant
At the end of the session, each participant receives a certificate of achievement, recognising their involvement and performance.
This provides a tangible takeaway and is particularly popular with corporate groups, families and celebratory bookings, adding a sense of completion and reward to the experience.
