Shooting Ground

Psachna Shooting Club

Psachna , Greece

Psachna Shooting Club is a world-class clay shooting facility located on the scenic Evia island, just an 85 km (or 45-minute) drive from Athens, Greece. Serving as a premier destination for both elite athletes and recreational shooters, the club uniquely integrates professional sporting layouts into the natural, multi-level rocky slopes of Mount Dirfi and "Petinos" hill. It is widely recognized for its outstanding management and welcoming atmosphere, often guided by the club's president, Alexandros Pantelakis, ensuring the highest standards of operation.

The facility is a proven arena for top-tier international competitions, having hosted the 19th World Championship Compak Sporting, the 25th European Championship, and regular Hellenic Grand Prix events. Beyond professional tournaments, the club features a spacious clubhouse with a 150-seat restaurant, making it an excellent venue for corporate events, team-building activities, and large banquets.

At the core of its infrastructure are 10 fully equipped shooting grounds, which include 8 Compak Sporting layouts, 2 Olympic Skeet layouts, and 5 classic Sporting stations. Each ground is integrated into the diverse landscape, offering unique visual environments and specific technical challenges for shooters.

The club utilizes state-of-the-art Promatic machines and Italian MultiPull acoustic release systems, ensuring flawless target launches and minimal delays.
