Air Rifle Shooting Near York And Selby

Yorkshire Outdoor Activity Park is located just outside York on the Escrick Park Estate, making it a convenient choice for air rifle shooting near York, Selby and the surrounding Yorkshire area.

We have been running outdoor activities since 1988, and that experience is reflected in the way our shooting sessions are structured, supervised and delivered.

If you are looking for air rifle shooting near York, you want a venue that is safe, well designed, accessible and properly managed. That is exactly what we provide.

Covered Shooting Bays

All air rifle shooting takes place in covered shooting bays.

This means sessions can run comfortably in different weather conditions, making air rifle shooting a reliable choice for groups planning ahead.

The covered environment also creates a calmer shooting experience, helping participants focus on breathing, aim, trigger control and accuracy without distraction.

Sectioned Shooting Bays For Safety

Safety is central to the design of our air rifle shooting range.

Each shooting bay is fully sectioned with solid side walls, giving every participant their own clearly defined shooting position. This creates physical separation between shooters and helps ensure rifles are always used in a controlled direction.

The bay design supports:

Clear individual shooting lanes
Physical separation between participants
Controlled shooting direction
Good instructor visibility
Calm and organised session flow

This makes the activity suitable for beginners, mixed ability groups and participants who may be trying shooting for the first time.

Instructor Led Air Rifle Shooting

Every session is supervised by qualified shooting instructors.

Your instructor explains how to handle the rifle safely, how to aim, how to stand or sit correctly, and how to improve your shot. Guidance is given throughout the session so participants can build confidence and improve accuracy.

The focus is on safe handling, correct technique and steady improvement.

Air Rifles Suited To Different Participants

We use a selection of air rifles chosen for reliability, balance and ease of use.

This allows instructors to help match the equipment to the participant, making the activity more accessible for adults, younger participants and people who may prefer lighter or easier to manage equipment.

The aim is to help every participant take part comfortably and confidently.

Wheelchair Accessible Air Rifle Shooting

Our air rifle shooting range is wheelchair accessible.

This makes air rifle shooting one of the most inclusive activities at Yorkshire Outdoor Activity Park. The design of the range and shooting bays allows participants with mobility requirements to take part fully in the session.

This is important for families, corporate groups and mixed ability groups where accessibility matters.

The instructor explains range rules, safe handling, shooting position, breathing, aiming and trigger control.
