The Yate club that trains champions

TARGET Sprint is the internationallyrecognised air rifle discipline that combines running with target shooting.

It is a heart-racing, exhilarating sport for all, combining target shooting and athleticism with skill and accuracy.

Competitors run 400m, then shoot five knock-down targets at 10m as quickly as possible, then run another 400m, shoot another five targets and sprint 400mflat out to the finish - first past the post wins.

It's simple, it's fast and it's fun!

Right here at Yate Outdoor Sport Complex, Sedgemoor Target Sprint meet and train once a month over a weekend.

Sedgemoor is a grassroots target sprint hub club, meaning that beginners can join and train in groups alongside seasoned and experienced target sprint athletes.

And when we say experienced, we mean Sedgemoor athletes are world champions!

If you want to find out more, we would love to welcome you to a training weekend, to try this sport for yourselves. It really is fast, exhilarating and fun!

Our nest three training dates are April 2223, May 20-21 and June 17-18.

Sedgemoor are currently collecting Tesco Blue Tokens in stores around the town that will enable more teenagers and adults access to this sport.

You don’t need specialist equipment, we can provide that - just trainers, comfortable clothing to move in, plenty of water and a packed lunch if you are joining us for a day's training.

Why not give Sedgemoor a vote next time you do your shopping and come and give this sport a go for yourselves?

For more information and to book a place on our April weekend at YOSC, email training@target-sprint.co.uk – see you there!

Thank you Tesco for giving more opportunities for sport right here in Yate.
