Shooting Ground

Clube Paranaense de Tiro

Piraquara, Brazil

Founded in 1924, Clube Paranaense de Tiro (CPRT) is one of Brazil’s oldest and most prestigious shooting sports clubs, situated in the municipality of Piraquara, directly bordering the state capital of Curitiba. Celebrating over a century of rich sporting history, the club’s development is deeply intertwined with the legacy of Brazilian shooter and coach Marcos José Olsen, a five-time Olympian who formerly presided over the club and established its elite, highly disciplined training standards. Serving as an official hub for both regional and high-level international sporting events, CPRT caters to Olympic athletes, national teams, corporate guests, and shooting enthusiasts alike.

The facility boasts an advanced technical setup with four linear, multidisciplinary shooting platforms (pedanas) designed to maximize throughput and flexibility for major tournaments. Each layout is dynamically configurable and equipped with state-of-the-art automatic throwing machines and automated release systems that ensure precise clay flights complying with ISSF and FITASC criteria. The range regularly accommodates a wide array of clay target disciplines:

Olympic Disciplines: Olympic Trap (Fossa Olímpica) and Skeet (Skeet).
National & International Standards: American Trap (Trap Americano), Universal Trench (Fossa Universal), and Double Trap.
Sporting Events: Compak Sporting, Classic Sporting, and Propeller Shooting (Hélices / FAN32).

Nestled near the scenic Serra do Mar mountain range, the shooting range is enveloped by the dense, natural vegetation of the Atlantic Forest. This mountainous landscape provides a stunning yet challenging green backdrop that tests shooters' target acquisition and visual tracking skills under varying daylight conditions. Local microclimates generate shifting mountain winds and swift light transitions, forcing athletes to master complex flight paths and make real-time adjustments to unpredictable clay behaviors.

CPRT operates a highly professional training school offering private and group lessons tailored to all skill levels, from first-time beginners to elite national competitors. Beyond training, the club is a premier venue for national championships and world-class events, such as the CBTE Brazilian Olympic Trap & Skeet stages, Copa Brasil, and the FEDECAT FAN32 World Championship. It also excels in hosting corporate retreats, teambuildings, and private banquets, seamlessly merging firearm safety clinics with competitive mini-tournaments and high-end catering.

Beyond the shooting lanes, the club serves as a vibrant social retreat featuring a cozy social headquarters (Sede Social) with multiple relaxation areas, an expansive restaurant, and a fully stocked on-site gun shop. Through partnership agreements, CPRT provides comprehensive logistics support with top-tier local hotels for visiting competitors.

Key Advantages of the Complex:

Centennial Olympic Heritage: Over 100 years of operation tied directly to Olympic shooting history and world-class coaching.
High-Capacity Multi-Pedana System: Flexible layouts configured for over eight different clay target disciplines.
Atmospheric Competitive Edge: Mountainous terrains and unpredictable winds ideal for realistic training.
Premium Hospitality: Family-friendly lounges, an extensive restaurant, and seamless lodging logistics.
