Club Caza y Pesca Malleco is a multidisciplinary shooting and recreational complex located at KM 8.5 on the Angol - Los Sauces route in the Araucania region of Chile. It is an ideal destination for everyone from elite athletes to beginners, corporate teams, and families. Its standout feature is the extreme mountainous and forested terrain of the Nahuelbuta Cordillera foothills, which, combined with complex wind aerodynamics, creates highly challenging target flight paths that perfectly mimic real hunting conditions.
Competitions and Disciplines
The venue is highly active and hosts a variety of events, ranging from local tournaments to massive international championships. The main sporting and shooting disciplines held at the facility include:
Compak Sporting (hosting major events like the Latin American Championship)
Clay Pigeon Shooting (Tiro al Platillo)
Skeet Shooting (Tiro Skeet)
Hunting Parkour (Recorrido de Caza)
Archery (Tiro con Arco)
Facility Infrastructure
To support high-level tournaments, the complex relies on modern technology that is seamlessly integrated into the natural environment. The key infrastructure features:
At least 5 specialized automated shooting layouts specifically designed for Compak Sporting
Advanced multi-pull target throwing machines capable of complex, synchronized flights
Elevated natural platforms utilizing the steep hillsides for dynamic target launches
Traditional barbecue areas (quinchos) and catering sectors for large banquets and welcoming dinners

Training and Target Audience
The club serves as a vital training hub for the South American sporting reserve, guided by top officials from the Chilean federation (FECAPECH). Training is adapted for all levels, offering individual and group formats, including free archery equipment for local youth schools. The facility perfectly accommodates four main demographic groups: professional athletes seeking rigorous practice, beginners and juniors needing a safe educational start, corporate teams looking for team-building activities, and families who can enjoy the adjacent Club de Campo Cancura's pools, cabins, and recreational areas.
Strategic Advantages and Logistics
The club operates on a hybrid financial model supported by municipal grants and tournament fees, maintaining excellent facilities without operating as a standard open commercial range. Its operating hours strongly revolve around official tournament schedules. The main advantages of this venue include its highly stable flight automation amidst extreme natural terrain, excellent catering logistics, strict security protocols for international athletes bringing firearms, and its highly accessible location just 10 kilometers from the city of Angol.
