The Fleurines Shooting Range (BTF) is a premier shooting complex located in the Oise department of France, just 30 minutes from Paris and near the Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport. Situated on a private 12-hectare estate in a valley bordering the Halatte forest, the stand is renowned for its technical depth and natural complexity. Its key differentiator is its massive scale, featuring over 130 automated throwing machines that enable a wide variety of ballistic scenarios simulating real hunting conditions. The facility caters to everyone from novices (starting at ages 10–12) to professional athletes and hunters preparing for national selections.
The complex offers an extensive range of disciplines, with a heavy emphasis on field-based shooting. The infrastructure includes a diverse array of installations designed for simultaneous use by numerous shooters without interference. Notably, the club is one of the few in the region to offer a specialized setup for the "Running Boar" (Sanglier Courant), which is essential for hunting practice.
Key Shooting Installations:
Parcours de Chasse (Hunting Course): 15 unique courses with 82 shooting stations.
Compak Sporting: 2 automated setups.
Fosse Universelle (Universal Trap): 2 standard pits.
DTL (Down The Line): 2 specialized setups.
Sanglier Courant (Running Boar): 1 installation for rifle practice.
Postes de Battue (Driven Shooting): 2 elevated stations for driven-game simulation.
Training at Fleurines Shooting Range is led by high-level instructors, such as Philippe Marty, who teach a deep philosophy of shooting beyond basic safety. The pedagogical approach focuses on micro-elements of a shot: posture, gun mounting, and "visual hygiene" (training the brain not to fixate on the launcher to avoid a blurry "comet effect"). The club operates a formal "École de Tir" (Shooting School) and provides specialized coaching sessions for competitors aimed at mental preparation and technical refinement. This expertise has made the club a regular host for national-level competitions under the FFBT (French Ball-Trap Federation), including elite national selections.
Beyond sport, the club serves as a professional event hub, offering "turnkey" packages for corporate seminars and team-building sessions. The clubhouse features a dedicated Bar and Club House area for refreshments and catering, where companies can combine outdoor adrenaline with business meetings in a convivial atmosphere. For individual visitors, the club maintains an inclusive environment with shotgun rentals available at €15 per hour and 30-minute sessions for the Running Boar at €20.
