What is Bell Target?

Take your shot. Ring the bell.

Bell Target is a traditional form of target shooting that has been enjoyed for well over a century. It combines skill, focus, control and consistency, all wrapped up in a sport that is as competitive as it is social. Using air rifles, shooters take aim at a target designed to register accurate shots by striking the bell mechanism. It sounds simple enough, but Bell Target is one of those sports that is easy to start and very hard to master. The finer points of accuracy, discipline and nerve all come into play, especially when every shot counts. One of the things that makes Bell Target special is its mix of tradition and community. The sport has deep roots, but it continues to thrive because of the people involved in it. Club nights are not just about shooting well. They are about good company, shared laughs, friendly rivalry and the satisfaction of improving week by week. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced shooter, Bell Target has something for you. It is a sport that welcomes all ages and abilities, with a strong emphasis on safety, encouragement and enjoyment. You do not need to be an expert to get started, just willing to give it a go. For many, Bell Target quickly becomes more than a hobby. It becomes part of the weekly routine, a chance to compete, socialise and be part of a club that shares the same passion.
