Air Guns at Moira Airgun shooting is the one of the most popular shooting activities in Northern Ireland with many of the top Irish competitive shooters having 'cut their teeth' on an airgun in their youth. Although there are a huge variety of recreational activities for air gunners, there are a number of highly specialised target disciplines that require greater precision than most other shooting sports. Airgun Field Target shooting has become a very sophisticated sport with many ethnological developments made to improve the performance of field target rifles eventually making their way onto standard hunting and recreational airguns. It has one of the strongest community spirits in any shooting sport in the UK and boasts a network of clubs and associations that actively promote responsible airgun sport. At the 2013 National Countrysports Fair we will have two different disciplines on offer for those interested in the sport.  Paper and metal silhouette targets will be used and the shooting distance is not great, on average just twenty-five  metres. The Strangford Lough Wildfowl & Conservation Association will organise the 10 metre indoor target event whilst the Down Field Target Club will run the 25 metre outdoor event. The air rifle shooting is open to everyone with the rifles being supplied by the organising clubs This means that even the complete beginner can have-a-go at air rifle shooting, one of the fastest growing sports in Ireland.
