Why Target Shooting is the Perfect Sport for All Young People

At Target Shooting School, we believe every child deserves the chance to shine – even if they don’t naturally gravitate towards traditional team sports. That’s where target shooting comes in. Far from being niche or intimidating, shooting is a highly engaging, mentally stimulating, and physically demanding sport that rewards focus, consistency, and personal growth.

We offer private air rifle shooting lessons across Kent for young people aged 8–18. Whether your child is looking for a fun new hobby or dreams of representing their country at the Olympics, we’re here to support their journey every step of the way.

Shooting teaches valuable life skills. At the core of our teaching is responsibility – safety always comes first. Every child learns how to handle their equipment with care and respect, building a strong foundation of discipline and focus. As they progress, students develop trust – not just in their instructors, but in themselves. This self-confidence is key to becoming a skilled, independent shooter.

We also value collaboration. Our coaches work closely with each student, setting individual goals while encouraging teamwork through fun, engaging group activities. But perhaps the most important element in our ZeroPoint syllabus is mindfulness. Shooting demands presence, calm, and clarity – skills that can reduce stress, build resilience, and even boost academic performance during exam season.

And don’t worry – no equipment is needed to start! We provide everything, so parents can relax and let their children explore the sport before making any investment.

We’re proud to have students who go on to train with national squads and represent their counties – but we’re equally proud of the ones who come just for the fun. At Target Shooting School, we believe sport should be enjoyable, inclusive, and open to all. Let us show you just how exciting this world can be.
