The Suvio Klubas (Šūvio Klubas) Sports and Leisure Center, located in the remote, forested area of the Varėna district of Lithuania (Krūminių k.), is a modern, multifunctional shooting facility established on a 4-hectare plot. It serves a dual purpose, catering both to high-level competitive preparation and recreational shooting, uniquely leveraging its secluded environment for specialized training. The club is the brainchild of its director, Vidmantas Balkė, whose passion for hunting shaped the facility's niche.
The primary competitive advantage of Šūvio Klubas is its rare specialization in high-precision dynamic hunting simulation. It is uniquely equipped with specialized animated shooting lanes for large dynamic targets, including the "Running Boar" at 35–50 meters and 100 meters, and the "Running Elk" at 100 meters. This extensive 100-meter dynamic infrastructure is critical for professional hunter certification and advanced training, making the club a key regional hub for the hunting community.
The club's range capacity is broad, accommodating all major weapon types—rifled, smoothbore, pneumatic, and short rifles—in addition to dedicated clay target (plate shooting) areas. This multi-discipline capability extends to recreational options, including sports bows and slingshot catapults for all ages. The facility's operational model is highly flexible: it offers organized packages for novices (e.g., a 60-shot introduction) and advanced training for professional athletes, with qualified instructors available for all sessions.
