Shooting Times Junior
Shooting Times Junior: fieldsports for young shots and newcomers
What does the Shooting Times Junior section cover?
Every experienced shot started somewhere. Shooting Times Junior exists for the young shots, the beginners and the curious — those helping on their first shoot day, learning to handle an air rifle safely, or just trying to understand what the dog is supposed to be doing.
The section covers the essentials: shooting safety, how to get started in different disciplines, air rifle shooting, clay shooting, wildlife identification, countryside fieldcraft, gundog basics and game preparation. Content is written for young people and the adults helping them learn — practical, honest and built around the way the sport is actually taught.
Success stories from young shots, junior competitions, seasonal countryside knowledge and the skills that make a day in the field more rewarding — it is all here, and it grows with you.
