Practical Deer Stalking Rifle Training
Corinium Rifle Range was designed specifically with the sporting rifle shooter and deer stalker in mind.
Since opening in 2008, our objective has been to provide more than simply somewhere to shoot a rifle. The range allows stalkers to practise the shooting positions and techniques they are likely to encounter in the field.
Depending on your requirements, training can include simulated scenarios involving:
- Prone shots
- Standing shots
- Sitting shots
- Shooting from sticks
- Free-hand shooting
- Difficult shot-placement scenarios
- Rapid target acquisition
- Follow-up shots
This practical approach allows you to identify areas that need improvement and build confidence before undertaking real-world stalking.
250m Full Bore Rifle Range
Our full bore rifle range extends to 250 metres, providing the opportunity to practise at both conventional and extended distances.
Life-size deer and other quarry targets allow realistic shot-placement practice at 100m,150m, 200m and 250m.
These realistic targets allow shooters to practise identifying appropriate aiming points and understanding how shot placement changes with distance and quarry size.
Target boards can also be provided at extended distances to assist with ballistic calculations, trajectory assessment and rifle set-up.
Rifle Zeroing & Scope Set-Up
Our range provides an ideal environment for rifle zeroing and scope set-up.
Whether you have purchased a new rifle, changed your scope, changed ammunition or simply want to check your existing zero before a stalking trip, our supervised sessions allow you to establish and confirm your rifle’s point of impact.
We can also help you understand how your rifle, scope, ammunition and chosen ballistic set-up work together at different distances.
If required, we can provide practical guidance throughout the entire zeroing process, including the set up and validation of ballistic turrets.
One-to-One Rifle Shooting Tuition
All training is tailored to the individual.
You may be an experienced stalker who wants to improve one particular aspect of your shooting, or a new shooter looking for structured instruction from the very beginning.
Our one-to-one rifle tuition can focus on a specific skill or combine several areas into a complete training session.
With more than 30 years of stalking experience behind our instruction, we take a practical and straightforward approach to improving shooting performance.
Rifle & Shooting Equipment Advice
Good shooting starts with suitable equipment and understanding how to use it correctly.
We can provide practical advice on the selection and use of:
- Sporting rifles
- Rifle calibres
- Ammunition
- Optics and scopes
- Mounts and accessories
- Shooting sticks
- Other stalking equipment
We can also assist with preparation for guided deer stalking in the UK and overseas hunting trips, helping you ensure that your rifle, ammunition and equipment are appropriate and set up for the intended use.
Everyone has different requirements, preferences and budgets. Our advice is therefore tailored to the individual rather than based around a one-size-fits-all approach.
Experienced Sporting Rifle Tuition
With more than three decades of practical stalking experience, we understand that successful preparation involves more than simply firing groups at a target.
Our objective is to help shooters understand their equipment, develop consistent shooting techniques and practise realistic scenarios in a safe and controlled shooting environment.
Whether your objective is to improve your rifle zero, prepare for a stalking trip, work towards DSC Level 2, or simply become a more confident and capable rifle shooter, we can tailor a session to suit you.
