The International Shooting Club ASTRA (MKS Astra) is a highly versatile and accredited Polish shooting facility located in Skoraczewo, near Wąwelno, serving as a comprehensive center for sports, recreation, and hunting practice. Its key competitive advantage lies in its international, multi-disciplinary infrastructure, which combines facilities for both smoothbore (shotgun) and precise ballistic shooting (rifle/pistol) in one complex. This dual capability makes MKS Astra a critical host for high-level international events, including the FITASC Grand Prix of Poland Compak Sporting, which is regularly held at the range, featuring a challenging 200-target format over two days.
The club's technical capacity is substantial, offering seven distinct shooting axes:
Key Shooting Axes:
Shotgun (Clay Targets): SKEET, TRAP, COMPAK SPORTING, SPORTING.
Hunting/Rifle: Running Boar (Dzik w Przebiegu) / Carbine (50m), Carbine (100m).
Pistol: Short Weapon (35m).
This comprehensive setup ensures that MKS Astra is perfectly equipped for a wide range of users, from competitive athletes requiring Olympic and FITASC formats, to hunters needing accurate practice against moving targets (Running Boar), and recreational shooters seeking diverse experiences. Given the international competition schedule, the range infrastructure must adhere to high standards of reliability and automation to manage the heavy demands of 200-target tournaments.
MKS Astra is highly accessible, catering to both novices and experienced shooters. The range is open seven days a week, from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM , although all visits require prior booking and arrangement with the range staff, ensuring controlled and safe access.
