Grand Prix of Lithuania - Compak Sporting - Lithuania (April 2019)

The “Stendinio Shooting Center” (Stendinio šaudymo centras), located in Vilnius (S. Batoro g. 90 A), is Lithuania's premier facility for competitive clay shooting, operating under the umbrella of the Lithuanian Olympic Sports Center. This institutional link guarantees adherence to stringent international standards for safety and technical infrastructure. The center excels as a high-performance training ground for national athletes and is uniquely certified to host major international events.

The club's most significant competitive distinction is its status as a four-time host of the FITASC Compak Sporting World Cup stages. This recurring accreditation by the International Shooting Sport Federation (FITASC) confirms that the center's infrastructure, safety protocols, and target presentation complexity consistently meet world-class benchmarks. The range benefits from a complex natural terrain, allowing it to create demanding and varied target flight scenarios—including high, fast, and rolling targets (rabbits)—that effectively simulate real-world hunting conditions crucial for Compak Sporting success.

The facility offers a versatile training environment, encompassing all major clay shooting disciplines: Compak Sporting, Olympic Trap, and Olympic Skeet. This broad offering allows athletes to conduct comprehensive training, combining precision-based shooting with dynamic, reactive practice. The equipment utilized is high-quality commercial-grade, featuring systems that allow for sophisticated target sequencing (multipull functionality) required for FITASC competitions. Furthermore, the club enforces strict ammunition limits (28 grams charge, 2.50 mm shot) to ensure sporting integrity and safety.

Training is highly structured and accessible to all skill levels. Novices and amateurs benefit from structured lessons and specialized materials, while elite shooters can book individual coaching sessions lasting 1 or 2 hours. The center actively caters to the commercial sector, offering customized programs for "companies and collectives" for corporate team-building, capitalizing on its safety standards and professional instruction. Given its central location in Vilnius, international and corporate clients benefit from excellent access to the city’s wide array of hotels and dining options.
