South Yorkshire Shooting Club were asked to conduct the Airgun Ranges at the Hatfield House Game Fair this weekend for the ATEO. (Airgun training and education organisation)
Working with a 20 strong team of qualified Airgun coaches it is reassuring to see juniors coming through the ranks. Exceptional talent at such a young age are receiving a structured tuition pathway in to air gunning.

Airgun manufacturers Crosman, FX, Daystate, Brocock, BSA and Gamo all supplied rifles for visitors to try on the range with juniors from as young as 5 years old receiving Hot Shot Certificates for their reward in completing the tuition session.
Speaking to parents has shown me why what we are doing is so important to the growth of our sport, access to education is key. Fun tuition at events like this teaches understanding and the safe practices involved with Air Guns.

Dryfire is the world’s most recognised training simulator for clay, game and target shooters. Practise shooting clays, game and targets 24/7 indoors with your own gun! Stay sharp throughout the year with the world’s only affordable simulator. DryFire gives immediate feedback on every shot helping you to improve your scores whether you shoot Trap, Skeet, Sporting, Game or Targets. Continuous practise with your own gun improves gun mount, muscle memory, gun movement and accuracy.
Customise your DryFire set-up by adding specialised software add-ons; simulate your ideal shooting location, create your own sporting targets, review your gun movement, analyse your progress or project an image of your local ground to use as your shooting background.

DryFire is a clay pigeon and game shooting simulator used for training practice. The simulator software supports all clay pigeon shooting disciplines. It allows you to use your own gun to shoot virtual targets in you club. Using your own gun, simply attach DryFire’s trigger switch to your trigger and pop DryFire’s compact plastic insert in your muzzle. You call “pull” to launch a clay and when you squeeze the trigger the muzzle insert will send a short pulse of infrared light, picked up by the camera on the DryFire simulator, to determine if the shot was a hit or miss.
DryFire has been designed using complex algorithms to simulate the realistic flight of targets, as well as the use of different cartridges and chokes. The simulator projects a small red laser spot (or target) onto your wall. This laser target moves at the same trajectory and speed as a real clay target.
Practice Gun Alignment
Practice Various Clay Shooting Disciplines
Trap, Skeet and Sporting Layouts
Olympic Level Disciplines
Our DryFire system is located in a warm, welcoming, dedicated room that caters for up to 6 shooters at a time. You can use the room as an individual as part of your membership, £8 per hour or you can also hire the room as a member and invite up to 5 of your friends to take part in fun training session for £35 for the hour using either your own gun or hire one for a further £8 per hour.
Clay shooting is an extremely popular discipline. When introducing a friend to the sport it can sometimes seem a little daunting. Moving targets, noisy and heavy guns and extreme British weather etc.
DryFire takes all the guess work out of shotgun alignment and gun fit.
DryFire gives you the perfect opportunity to practice before heading out on to the clay ground. The system simulates clay disciplines from the comfort of our Indoor Shooting Club. New starters or experienced shots can select a discipline to practice with feed back for every hit or miss.
With an incredible Olympics just passed, the demand for Target Sports facilities is growing. South Yorkshire Shooting Club have been working over the winter months to provide such a location based in Rotherham. We have 4 lanes to start with enabling you to shoot both 10mtr Olympic Rifle and Pistol.
We have invested in the latest Target Technology, Camera and Screens and Target Marking System. Members have embraced the challenge that these disciplines offer and we have seen a growth in our global airgun competitions.

Our 10mtr Olympic range has attracted some serious airgun equipment since opening in December 2016. Shooters are striving for success in a demanding discipline. We see Air Arms, Tesro, Walther, Anschutz, Feinwerkbau, Hammerli, Walther, Steyr, Crosman, Morini and FAS on the range.
4 Indoor 10mtr Airgun Ranges
Electric Operated Target Systems
Camera and Screens
Digital Scoring Technology
Our Indoor 10mtr range actually extends to 13mtrs which allows us to practice targets at greater distances with both PCP and Single Stroke Pneumatic Pistols. We have set a very demanding knock down course up which includes various types of quarry.
Once you become a member of South Yorkshire Shooting Club you have access to all the great shooting disciplines. We encourage families to get involved in the safe practice of airgunning. It really is great family fun, a steady hand and a keen eye will be required on all our ranges but you will walk away wanting more!

Fancy taking up Target Sports? Give us a call on 01709 837906 and we will arrange a Taster Session for people with little experience or a safety briefing for the experienced shot.
Amanda Atkinson owner here at South Yorkshire Shooting Club Rotherham has been busy creating a unique way on how to introduce ladies in to Airgun Target Sports. Amanda wanted ladies to be part of a new social group, where they have the opportunity to try the sport of Target Shooting in a safe and friendly environment.
The Annie Oakley Club was formed in aid of the Macmillan Cancer Charity. What a response, Amanda was completely overwhelmed with enquiries about the evening. Amanda wanted to show that airgun ranges are not dirty, cold and un-welcoming places, so we thought South Yorkshire Shooting Club would be the perfect location for an event like this, Heated Indoor 10 Airgun Lanes, Dedicated Airgun Coaches, Gun Shop, Café and Toilets, Large Free Car Park, Gun Hire and Professionally Organised Shooting Competition run by Target Sports Central.
Ladies attended from all aspects of life taking the opportunity to receive a little airgun coaching, shoot a target competition and meet new like for like people.

Amanda has put in to place at South Yorkshire Shooting Club a team of Airgun coaches with years of experience in Target Sports. Anyone visiting the Shooting Club can be assured of the very finest tuition and advice on any aspects of the sport.

Monthly Airgun Competitions
Amanda a great shot herself has shown the ladies can hold there own in target sports competitions and they did not disappoint on the evening. The evenings competition was split in to 2 classes, Members and Non Members to keep things fair. Lauren winning the members class with a fantastic 101.3/109 and Kim taking the non members class with a stunning 99.1/109 with no experience of airgunning.
Amanda and the Annie Oakley Club raised a fantastic £400 on the night which was donated to the Macmillan Cancer Charity. Over 50 ladies attended the event and loved the competition experience.
Food and Refreshments were provided by the shooting club.
Due to the great response Amanda is planning on another Annie Oakley Social Evening very soon. Sign up to the newsletter and keep an eye on the Annie Oakley Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/TheAnnieOakleyClub/
