How safe is air rifle shooting?

Very safe!  At Insights Air Range, safety is our prime concern, and we always ensure all shooters are well aware of our safe shooting policy.

We abide by the Home Office Air Weapons Brief Guide to Safety, which is displayed at the range and can be accessed by clicking on the link below:

Please note that the minimum age for air pistol shooting is 12 years old, and 14 years old for "Springers".

All young people under the age of 18 must be supervised by a responsible adult over the age of 21 at all times.
