Shooting Travel Insurance

What is shooting?

Shooting is a precision sport involving the use of firearms to hit set targets. It’s popular for both recreation and competition, often practised in controlled environments such as ranges or organised hunts.

Do I need travel insurance for shooting?

Yes. Injuries from firearms, recoil, or accidents at the range can occur. If you’re travelling to participate in shooting events or hunting trips, specialist insurance can cover medical treatment and disruption to your travel plans.

What is included in shooting travel insurance?

Our shooting insurance includes emergency medical cover, personal accident protection, repatriation, and cancellation cover due to injury or illness.

Does standard travel insurance cover shooting?

Generally not. Activities involving firearms are often excluded from standard policies, so you’ll need specific cover that lists shooting as an insured activity.

Can I get shooting insurance with a medical condition?

Often, yes. You’ll need to declare your medical history during the quote process so we can assess your eligibility.

Is there a maximum age for shooting travel insurance?

Most providers offer cover up to age 70. If you’re fit and healthy, you may still qualify - just check the policy details.
