The Al Ain Shooting Club, located in the lush Garden City of Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, is a cornerstone of the larger Al Ain Equestrian, Shooting & Golf Club (AESGC) complex. The facility is universally recognized as one of the best shooting stands globally, with its infrastructure built to the exacting standards of the ISSF (International Shooting Sport Federation) and Olympic requirements. Due to its elite accreditation and comprehensive range offerings, the club serves as a vital training and competition hub, catering to an extremely broad spectrum of users, from first-time beginners and recreational enthusiasts to elite international shooting teams.
The club's unique selling proposition is its commitment to cutting-edge technology and multi-disciplinary infrastructure. The entire complex, including both indoor and outdoor ranges, is equipped with the advanced SIUS Ascor Electronic Scoring System, guaranteeing world-class precision and instantaneous results essential for competitive training. The ranges are divided to ensure year-round excellence and cover all key disciplines:
Outdoor Shotgun Ranges: 5 Combined Shotgun Ranges, featuring Skeet, Trap, Double Trap, and Sporting.
Indoor/Rifle Ranges: 10m Air Pistol/Rifle, 25m Pistol, and 50m Rifle ranges, plus a Laser Shooting Simulator for safe, interactive introductions.
The club has a distinguished history of hosting major global tournaments, including the ISSF Shotgun World Cup Final and numerous stages of the World Shooting Para Sport (WSPS) World Cup, with the 2025 WSPS World Cup scheduled at the venue. This proven logistical and technical capacity to handle hundreds of international athletes makes it an ideal environment for serious athletic preparation. The club also offers structured training: a comprehensive 10-day shooting course is available for both members (AED 1,050) and non-members (AED 1,575), complemented by professional trainers and constant safety supervision. Furthermore, the club’s extended operating hours-often open until 9:00 PM - accommodate training during the cooler evening hours, adapting expertly to the extreme regional climate.
The competitive advantages of the Al Ain Shooting Club are strengthened by its integration into the luxury AESGC resort, which provides guests with a full suite of premium amenities. This includes three distinct dining options (such as the Al Rikab Restaurant and The Palm Greens Restaurant) , which can cater to large banquets and corporate events. The club's financial model strongly encourages membership, offering significant savings to regular visitors: for example, the cost for 25 additional clay targets is AED 84.00 for non-members but only AED 31.50 for members, serving as a powerful incentive for consistent training.
