You'll be able to have a blast all while sharpening up your rifle shooting skills from 50m to 300m on a wide variety. of tricky reactive animal targets. These include a running pig,  and infamously tricky bolting rabbit. You'll also have a chance to win:

  • Swarovski watch and goodies RRP £150
  • Bushnell binos RRP £150
