Don't just take our word for it...
Great experience, worth a visit We did the air pistol experience which was great! Would definitely recommend and Steve was a good instructor, relaxed and informative. The only thing I would say is that the toilet facilities are poor - one portaloo for men and one for women. The women’s sink was broken so the hand washing facilities were a bottle of water and hand gel - no soap. The flush on the toilet also seemed to be broken so it wasn’t pleasant. Had it not been for the toilet facilities I would have given 5 stars!
Amazing, well worth the money, would highly recommend. Absolutely amazing activity day out. I booked it for a birthday and chose the Go wild package which had 5 activities: rifle shooting; archery; pistol shooting; axe throwing and cross bows. I wasn't 100% sure i would like some of the activities coz im female and scared of guns but wanted to suck it up for my boyfriend as it was a birthday surprise. We both loved it. Neither have really done these activities before besides archery on holiday and a little rifle shooting previously on his part. It was well worth the money, it's a great afternoon out, team it up with and early lunch and it is basically a day out.
The instructor Alex was amazing, instantly put us at ease, instigated some healthy banter/competition which was super funny, especially when I barely hit the target for the axe throwing and he made us laugh through it and didn't make me feel bad or rubbish at all. He had lots of helpful tips in each activity to help us improve and they really helped.
We got to keep our targets from some of the activities and take pics when it was safe to. Could not recommend Hoverforce highly enough for date nights, birthdays, team building, stag/hen nights, work day out etc. I am already planning when we can go back. U dont have to book the go wild package, u can pick just one activity or two etc.
The toilets are portaloos but what do u expect where it is located? You have to go down a long road with lots of uneven ground, some smaller pot holes and it is a single track road with passing points placed far apart so bear that in mind. Take it slow and if ur car is very low to the ground.
To sum up, 10/10, would highly recommend.
We did rifle shooting very well presented and instructed brilliantly special shout for Stuart Will defo go back top marks
Would recommend for a fun day This is the second Team Day we have held at Hoverforce. All the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. We did Dirk Karts and Rifle Shooting which everyone enjoyed. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic live fire experience Booked a live fire experience for my daughter’s 21st. My wife and daughter got to use different rifles (including sniper rifle and an old Winchester) firing 22 bullets at multiple targets; it was brilliant! We would definitely recommend coming to Hover Force. The whole experience was professionally managed, safe and fun. Thanks in particular to Steve, who looked after us during the live fire experience and Andy, who found my lost wedding ring!
Semi Automatic Rifle Range Did the semi-automatic 50m rifle range experience. Had a brilliant time, and all very safely controlled by the instructor. All very professional and well explained. The rifles were very accurate, and made a satisfying bang each time. Would definitely recommend.
Good fun air rifle experience Air rifle experience was really good fun and Steve was a great instructor. My son really enjoyed it.Our instructions advised to get there 30 mins early which wasn’t necessary and we waited around in the cold. Next time would go in warmer weather but plenty of seating and clean loo is positive!
Best day out for miles My daughter and partner organised a day here . We did hovercraft which was awesome we loved it .next was single seat 1000cc buggies around there rally track . Then we did m16 2.2 rifles . Amazing. All staff very informative about there chosen activities. Great day will be going again real soon
Great experience. Third time visiting - consistently good. Instructors are excellent, explanations as to how and why you need to do something are clearly explained - if you're unsure, then they will ensure that you understand using words and practical demonstration. All equipment is in good condition, safety equipment is provided. We've used both air rifles and pistols - live fire next time.
Air Gun FAQ's
Is this suitable for kids or beginners?
Yes — air gun sessions are ideal for ages 10+ and are fully supervised by qualified instructors.
What’s the difference between air rifles and air pistols?
Air rifles are shot at 50m outdoors and offer greater stability and accuracy. Air pistols are shorter range (10m) and are great for hand-eye coordination and close-up precision.
What should I wear?
Comfortable, casual clothing and closed-toe shoes.
Do I need any licences or experience?
No. This is a safe, entry-level shooting activity and requires no licence or previous experience.
