As with all shooting activities at the WNSC, safety is the primary concern on the
Airgun range. Especially since it provides an introduction to our sport for many
young shooters. The range has been constructed to the highest standards and offers
a safe and controlled environment for air target shooting.
To shoot beyond 50m we must travel to other locations. WNSC members have been known
to compete at Severnside, Kingsbury, Mattersey and Bisley to name just a few. If
you feel 50m limits your horizons, ask around and you’ll soon find a few like minded
souls to share the journey.
The world of shooting sports encompasses a great variety of activities from short
range target shooting to big game hunting.
A shooting sport is a competitive sport involving tests of proficiency (accuracy
and speed) using various types of guns such as firearms and airguns. Hunting is also
a shooting sport, and indeed shooting live pigeons was an Olympic event (only once,
in 1900). The shooting sports are categorized by the type of firearm or target used.
WNSC members participate in most of the shooting disciplines permitted in the UK.
They benefit from being able to develop and hone their skills in a safe and friendly
environment. The pages in this section of the site describe the most popular shooting
sports encountered at WNSC.
