The Hunting Shooting Range of the Polish Hunting Association (ZO PZŁ) in Piotrków Trybunalski is a strategic training facility located in Central Poland. Serving as the primary examination and training hub for the Łódź Voivodeship, this facility is designed to meet the rigorous standards of state hunting exams. Unlike commercial recreational ranges, this venue focuses on professional marksmanship, offering a comprehensive environment for hunters to validate their skills and for sport shooters to practice dynamic disciplines.
The facility's key competitive advantage is its ability to host the full spectrum of the "Hunting All-Round" (Wielobój Myśliwski) competition in a single location. While many ranges offer only clay target shooting, this complex uniquely integrates automated ground targets-specifically the "Running Hare" and "Running Boar"-alongside classic aerial disciplines and a 100-meter rifle axis. This "all-in-one" configuration makes it the go-to destination for comprehensive pre-season training and official certification.
Key Facilities and Disciplines:
Clay Target Zones: Fully equipped Trap (5 stations), Skeet (7 stations), and two Compak layouts, plus the "Pheasant" (Fazan) range for high-tower simulation.
Dynamic Ground Targets: Automatic Running Hare (35 m shotgun range) and Running Boar (50 m rifle range).
Rifle Range (100 m and 150 m): A dedicated 100-meter range ("Roebuck/Fox") for zeroing optics and precision shooting from stable positions, as well as a 150-meter rifle range.
Pistol Range: A 50 m range available for sport shooting and self-defense training (operated in cooperation with KSS "Security Academy").
The operational model is professional and community-focused rather than commercial-luxury. While there is no permanent restaurant on-site, the range supports large events with catering infrastructure (grill/field kitchens) and offers a multifunctional shelter and lecture hall for club gatherings and theoretical training. The atmosphere is deeply rooted in hunting tradition, characterized by safety, discipline, and the camaraderie of the "Piotrkowska Strzelanka" competitive series.
This venue is ideally suited for active hunters preparing for the season, candidates training for their practical exams, and sport shooting teams looking for diverse target presentations. Its flat, open terrain ensures consistent target flight paths, minimizing wind interference and providing fair conditions for competitions. The pricing structure is highly accessible, particularly for PZŁ members, emphasizing its role as a non-profit association facility.
