Target Sport Burntwood at Glanfar Meadows
Run. Aim. Shoot. Have a go.
Discover one of Britain’s most exciting target sports right here at Glanfar Meadows. Target Sport combines running with the concentration and precision of 10-metre air-rifle shooting — and you don’t need previous experience to give it a try.
Whether you’re staying with us or simply looking for something different to do in Staffordshire, come along, learn the basics and discover the challenge of settling your breathing, finding the target and having another go.
What is Target Sport?
Running gets your heart racing. Shooting asks you to calm it back down.
That contrast is what makes Target Sport such a brilliant challenge.
The sport combines running with 10-metre air-rifle target shooting. Participants have to move, control their breathing, settle themselves at the firing point and concentrate on clearing the targets.
At Glanfar Meadows, newcomers can experience Target Sport in a friendly, supervised environment without needing previous shooting experience.
No previous Target Sport experience required.
Established local sport
Target Sport has been part of life here for years.
Target Sport Burntwood is part of the wider UK Target Sport community and has supported athletes, young people, schools and local organisations through regular training, Have-a-Go activities and organised events.
The Burntwood venue has previously hosted the West Midlands leg of the British Shooting Target Sport Series, while local youth and community activity has also been delivered alongside Rugeley Rifle Club.
Have a go
Never tried Target Sport before? Perfect.
That’s exactly what these sessions are for. Target Sport gives newcomers the chance to experience something genuinely different in an established local sporting environment — without needing previous Target Sport or shooting experience.
The challenge comes from switching between movement and concentration. You can be active one moment and then, at the firing point, everything changes: control your breathing, settle yourself and focus on the target.
It’s competitive if you want it to be, but having a good time comes first. Come with the family, bring a friend, encourage the kids to have a go or discover for yourself why Target Sport has developed such an enthusiastic following.
Juniors aged 8–17 and adults aged 18+ can book our regular Wednesday and Sunday sessions.

A little running. A little shooting. A lot of fun.
Target Sport is as much about concentration as speed. One moment your heart is racing, the next you’re trying to steady your breathing and focus on the target. That combination is what makes the sport such good fun to try.
You don’t need to be an experienced runner or have used a target rifle before. Our newcomer sessions are about having a go, learning something different and enjoying the challenge in a friendly local sporting environment.
Come on your own, bring a friend or make it something the family tries together. Juniors can take part from age 8 and adults are very welcome too.

Target Sport Camp
A summer of activity, challenges and new experiences
Each summer, Target Sport Burntwood runs an organised July programme bringing young people together for activity, sport and plenty of chances to try something different.
Target Sport sits at the heart of the programme, alongside a wider mix of organised activities designed to keep everyone involved, active and enjoying themselves. It’s about building confidence, learning new skills, meeting other young people and having a memorable summer along the way.
Participants should arrive ready to get involved, with comfortable clothing and footwear suitable for outdoor activity and the weather on the day. Further joining information and anything specific that needs to be brought will be confirmed when places are arranged.
The programme runs during July. Exact dates and availability are announced for each year.
