Welcome to Target Technique

Want to learn a new sport? One that will turn heads? Take you abroad? Consider precision air target shooting!

Target Technique is not a normal shooting club, we are an unusual club, we develop winners. The club approach is unusual, on each session you will be mentored by skilled coaches who will drive you to improve your skills. Backed by years of experience and by modern electronic training aids they will encourage you to develop and improve. Our coaches are prepared to train you extraordinarily. The coaches bestow their training to those wanting to train harder in order to achieve success.

Shooting is no longer a preserve of males. Women excel in the sport. Target shooting - rifle and pistol - is for any age, gender, individuals and families. We cater for standing, kneeling and prone (laying down). Bench shooting is also suitable for those that can't stand for long periods and wheelchair users. There is also capacity for visually impaired who shoot using acoustics.

Whilst there are many clubs in Scotland there are few with qualified ISSF coaches nor with high-quality and modern equipment that enable you progress quickly.

Novices begin with the sporter air rifle, or light-weight pistols - even children can use. The skills learned in this accessible discipline are transferable to other disciplines such as 10m Air, 50m .22 3 Position, Prone and Biathlon all of which are all Olympic disciplines. We also teach air pistol for those that have that cool hand nerve.

Target shooting combines physical, technical and mental skills. Often said to be the most mental of sports, it requires a huge degree of mental control as well as a certain amount of fitness to reduce heart rate and retain oxygen levels. Many shooters find they benefit enormously from the calming relaxing moods shooting provides. Learning to analyse and structure training is also beneficial in other aspects of life.

There is a saying that the one who wins the Olympics is the one who wants it the most. Winning isn't normal. In order to win you must do you extraordinary things. You cannot be one of the crowd and expect to win. You must be willing to step over the line, do extra, search your soul to find that extra beyond normal.

Your actions need to reflect unusual values and priorities. You have to value success more than others do. You have to want it more. Wanting it is a a decision you make and act upon - it is not desire, inspiration or inner drive. You have to make that value a priority.

Come along and have a go - see if the sport is for you!
