The International Shooting Center Bauffe (ISCB) is a premier private shooting and recreational facility situated in the scenic countryside of Bauffe, within the Lens municipality of Wallonia, Belgium. Operating as a versatile hub, the center successfully bridges the gap between professional sports shooters, recreational marksmen, corporate clients, and families looking for a unique weekend getaway. Managed by Jimmy Plasschaert, whose family has a deep-rooted heritage in managing Belgian shooting associations, ISCB is renowned across the region for its welcoming atmosphere, high safety standards, and top-tier infrastructure.
At the core of ISCB’s outdoor attractions is its comprehensive clay target shooting layout, designed to challenge all skill levels and disciplines. The facility features diverse shooting configurations that cater to competitive athletes and hunters alike:
Two Universal Trenches (Fosse Universelle)
One American Trench (Fosse Américaine)
Compak Sporting & Hunting Course (Jachtparcour)
Compact Sporting setup featuring complex target trajectories (rabbits, tower, incoming, outgoing, and loopers)
High-Quality Lighting System for nocturnal clay shooting during the autumn and winter seasons
In addition to its outdoor ranges, ISCB provides exceptional indoor handgun facilities within two fully automated 25-meter shooting tunnels. Each tunnel features four shooting lanes equipped with automatic target retrievers programmed for distances of 10, 15, 20, and 25 meters, operating under the continuous supervision of range stewards to ensure absolute safety. For advanced shooters holding valid carry permits, the facility also offers tactical practical shooting setups in a dedicated "fun shooting" tunnel.
Instruction and training at the center are highly structured, prioritizing safety and rapid skill development. Absolute beginners are guided through a secure and motivating initiation by certified ADEPS (the official sport administration of Wallonia) instructors. Beyond individual training, ISCB is a popular venue for corporate team-building events, private parties, and seminars, boasting a fully equipped conference room that accommodates up to 45 people. All group activities are closely supervised by professional stewards who assist participants on the ranges.
Beyond its professional shooting lanes, the complex has evolved into a multi-sport family recreation hub. After a demanding shooting session, visitors can unwind at the cozy brasserie-tavern "La Cartouche," famous for its warm hospitality and traditional Belgian dishes, such as their highly-rated carbonades. The facility also features:
An on-site RC Mini-Car Racing Track (mini-bolids)
An active Paintball Field
