Shooting Ground

Shooting range Oksalis

Treuhi, Latvia

Shooting range Oksalis "Oksalis" is a specialized shooting sports facility located in the Rēzekne region of Latvia, serving as a key hub for clay target shooting in the Baltics. Unlike typical flatland ranges, this complex is deeply integrated into a natural forest landscape, offering a unique "hunting in the woods" experience. It strategically targets both professional athletes preparing for international FITASC/Compak tournaments and hunters seeking realistic practice conditions before the season.

The facility’s primary competitive advantage lies in its terrain and technical complexity. The shooting stations are positioned within a dense forest, utilizing natural windows between trees and varied elevations to create unpredictable target trajectories. This setup mimics the flight of game birds (woodcock, pheasant) and running hares, requiring shooters to master complex lighting conditions where targets transition rapidly between shadow and sunlight.

Operational excellence is guaranteed by the owner and head coach, Arnis Romans, a 2024 European Champion in Combined Game Shooting. His expertise ensures that target presentations are not only challenging but also technically consistent with European Grand Prix standards. The range is equipped with professional automated traps (typically Laporte/Promatic) and wireless release systems, minimizing technical delays and allowing for a smooth rhythm during training or competition.

The infrastructure is versatile, supporting multiple disciplines ranging from Compak Sporting and FITASC Sporting (Large Sporting) to Combined Game Shooting (including a running boar range). Beyond the firing line, "Oksalis" offers a complete service ecosystem, including on-site ammunition sales (Mirage, RC, B&P), equipment rental, catering during events, and designated safety zones, making it suitable for long-duration tournaments.

"Oksalis" maintains an active calendar of events, hosting prestigious competitions such as the Grand Prix of Latvia and the Latvian Championship, which attract over 100 participants from across Europe. Simultaneously, it fosters a local community through the "Hunter’s League"-a more accessible format designed for amateurs and teams. The venue is also adapted for corporate events and team-building, offering a safe and engaging introduction to shooting sports.

Key Facilities & Features:

Disciplines: Compak Sporting (multiple layouts), FITASC Sporting (forest lines), Combined Game Shooting (rifle + shotgun).
Equipment: Professional automated trap machines, wireless release systems, "Cyprus-style" target settings.
Amenities: Catering/field kitchen area, large parking lot, ammunition shop, safety zones.

Core Advantages:

Natural Realism: Forest terrain provides superior simulation of hunting scenarios compared to open fields.
Expert Management: Target setting is overseen by a top-tier active athlete (Arnis Romans).
Logistics: Full service on-site (ammo, food, rental) simplifies logistics for visiting shooters.
Atmosphere: A balance of high-performance sport and a friendly, family-oriented environment.
