The UK’s Premier Running Boar Training Facility
In April 2015, Corinium Rifle Range opened the UK’s first purpose-built Running Boar Range, created to meet the growing demand from shooters preparing to travel overseas for driven and running boar hunting.
Since opening, we have established an outstanding reputation for running target and driven boar training, providing specialist instruction for hunters and sporting rifle shooters looking to develop the skills required to shoot moving quarry safely, accurately and effectively.
Our unique 40-metre Running Boar Range, variable-speed target system and specialist one-to-one tuition provide a training experience unlike any other moving-target facility in the UK.
Running Boar Shooting Training in the UK
Our Running Boar Range is designed to replicate the challenges of shooting moving boar, allowing you to practise in a controlled and supervised environment before hunting abroad. Training is available on a one-to-one or small-group basis and can be tailored to your experience and requirements.
Tuition can include:
The objective isn’t simply to hit a moving target. Our training focuses on developing the skills and judgement required to achieve effective shot placement and a clean, ethical kill when hunting appropriate quarry.
40m Variable-Speed Running Boar Target
Our purpose-built 40m Running Boar Range features a variable-speed moving target, allowing shooters to practise against different target speeds and movement patterns.
This provides valuable preparation for hunters travelling overseas for driven boar and continental hunting, where the ability to acquire and engage a moving target quickly and accurately can be critical.
Corinium Rifle Range is currently the only UK facility offering pay-by-the-hour, one-to-one tuition on moving targets, providing a genuinely personalised training experience.
Aimpoint Shooting Academy Training
Running Boar training is available with tuition from Paul Hill, the UK’s only Aimpoint Shooting Academy Trainer. His practical experience of continental boar shooting, combined with extensive knowledge of rifle and optic selection, allows us to provide advice that goes beyond simply using the range. We can help you understand how your rifle, optic, ammunition and shooting position work together when engaging moving targets.
Rifle & Optic Selection for Boar Hunting
Choosing the right rifle and optic can make a significant difference when preparing for running and driven boar. Through our relationships with leading manufacturers and the UK dealer network, we have access to demonstration rifles and equipment from respected names including Sauer, Blaser, Aimpoint and Swarovski Optik.
We can provide advice on the selection and set-up of:
We can also recommend, supply and, importantly, correctly fit the rifle and optic to suit your individual requirements. Our own specially designed BoarBraker™ muzzle brake is also available for suitable applications.
Training for Driven Boar & Continental Hunting
Our experience of continental boar shooting means we understand the demands placed on both shooter and equipment when hunting moving quarry. Whether you are preparing for your first driven boar hunt or looking to refine an established skill set, our running boar shooting training can be tailored to your individual experience. The controlled environment of the range allows you to work on your technique, identify weaknesses and build confidence before travelling overseas.
German Schiessnachweis Assessment
As an approved BASC trainer, Paul Hill provides training and assessment for the German Schiessnachweis shooting competency certificate for hunters visiting certain German districts where proof of shooting competency is required. If you have a driven boar hunt booked in Germany, we recommend checking the requirements for your destination well in advance of travelling. We can provide training before the assessment, allowing you to familiarise yourself with the required target and scoring system and complete the assessment in a relaxed, professional environment.
Running Boar Range Specifications
The Running Boar Range is cleared for firearms generating up to 10,000 ft-lbs (13,558 joules) and has no additional restrictions such as a requirement to use a moderator. This allows the range to accommodate rifles and calibres suitable for running and driven boar, subject to our range rules and safety requirements.

With the introduction of a compulsory shooting certificate in certain German federal states, the SNW provides the proof of competency required for participation in driven hunts on hoofed game. If you have a driven hunt booked in Germany, please check whether you need the SNW a few months before you travel. Completing it with us allows you to have some training first, then be tested using the recognised target and scoring systems, in a relaxed environment, assuring you of the permission to hunt.
