Shooting Ground

Chene Rond Shooting Range

Coullons, France

The Chene Rond Shooting Range (ASC Ball-Trap Chêne Rond) is a major clay pigeon shooting complex in France, strategically located on a vast, wooded 13-hectare estate in Coullons, Loiret, making it a critical hub for Parcours de Chasse (Sporting Clays) in the country. The club successfully balances its function as a professional training ground for elite competitors-proven by its history of hosting the French FSGT Championship for Parcours de Chasse-with serving local hunters and corporate clients. Its key feature is its exceptional operational scale: the complex boasts 15 dedicated wooded courses and is equipped with over 110 automated throwing machines and three launching towers. This extensive infrastructure allows for the creation of an unparalleled variety of challenging target trajectories, effectively simulating complex hunting scenarios at different heights and angles against the natural forest backdrop.

The facility offers a comprehensive range of shooting disciplines tailored to various users. Its specialization lies in the field formats, but it also provides crucial practice areas for the hunting community. For instance, the club maintains a dedicated range for Running Boar (Sanglier Courant) shooting and a 50-meter lane for Rifle Sighting (Ciblage Carabine), both available by reservation. The complexity of the 15 Parcours de Chasse courses, enhanced by the three high towers, ensures that experienced shooters find a rigorous environment necessary for high-level competition training.

Key Disciplines Available:

Parcours de Chasse (Sporting Clays): 15 Courses
Running Boar (Sanglier Courant)
Rifle Sighting (Ciblage Carabine)
Compak Sporting

The club's internal infrastructure supports both the sports and social aspects of shooting. The Club House features a veranda and a large terrace, creating a convivial space for relaxation and meetings. A snacking service is available on-site, and the club can arrange full meals for corporate bookings, though outside picnics are strictly prohibited. For training and initiation, the club runs an Ecole de Tir (Shooting School) and offers gun rental at €20 per hour. New shooters can easily enter the sport through initiation programs, while the club's inventory of specialized ammunition (including calibers 16, 20, 28, and.410) caters to diverse shooter needs.

The financial structure is designed to promote loyalty, offering substantial savings to members. The annual membership fee is €90. Non-members face the highest cost, with targets priced at €0.50 per piece plus a mandatory €6 daily shooting permit. In contrast, members benefit from the lowest price, potentially paying as little as €0.37 per target by purchasing an annual 500-target subscription, representing a significant incentive for regular training.

Target Audiences and Advantages:

Sporting Clay Shooters: Optimal high-volume, high-variability training on 15 courses.
Hunters: Practice opportunities for Running Boar and rifle zeroing at a single location.
Corporate Clients: Excellent facilities for team-building, seminars, and event privatization with full catering options.
