The Biscarrosse Shooting Range is a significant and highly accredited French shooting center located in Biscarrosse, in the heavily forested Les Landes region. The club operates a multi-disciplinary approach, balancing standardized international formats with specialized field and hunting disciplines. The club’s infrastructure and operational excellence were confirmed by its selection to host a World Championship in August 2025 , demonstrating its capacity to meet the rigorous logistical and technical demands of a major global event. The club’s strategic location within the natural, wooded landscape provides the authentic, expansive terrain necessary for complex Parcours de Chasse (Sporting Clays) courses.
The Biscarrosse Shooting Range is characterized by its wide installation capability, which is rare for a single location. It is fully equipped for traditional Olympic-style shooting (Skeet and Fosse Universelle) and the highly popular field-based formats. Furthermore, the club features an installation for Sanglier Courant (Running Boar) , a valuable asset for hunters who require rifle practice against moving targets. This variety makes the club a comprehensive training destination.
Key Disciplines Available:
Fosse Universelle (Universal Trench)
Skeet (Olympic Skeet)
DTL (Down-The-Line)
Compak Sporting
Parcours de Chasse (Sporting Clays)
Sanglier Courant (Running Boar - Rifle)
The club maintains a full competition calendar, hosting departmental, regional, national, and international tournaments, including the Trophée LAPORTE and various League Championships. The environment is inclusive, welcoming youth shooters from the age of 12 onwards, provided they hold a valid license or purchase the mandatory daily insurance. The on-site Club House serves as the administrative and social hub for members and visitors during training and competition days.
Pricing is based on a structured system that encourages membership. While explicit, comprehensive tariffs are not available, benchmarking against similar accredited French clubs suggests a per-target series cost of approximately €9.00 – €10.00 for non-members, who must also pay a mandatory €6.00 daily FFBT insurance fee. The club offers introductory sessions (Découvertes) , and the specialized nature of the Sanglier Courant and Parcours de Chasse disciplines makes it ideal for professional athletes, local hunters, and high-level training camps.
