SPEED SHOOTING
Located in the heart of the Vertus vineyards, the STC Vertus IPSC shooting range offers a truly exceptional setting. Nestled in a former chalk quarry, this unique site combines history, nature, and performance. Its 11 bays provide independent shooting areas, perfectly suited for safe and dynamic shooting. This distinctive and immersive mineral environment makes the Vertus range a renowned and popular destination for shooters far beyond the region.
IPSC (International Practical Shooting Confederation), or speed shooting, is a modern and dynamic discipline based on a simple principle: combining precision, power, and speed. Unlike traditional shooting at fixed targets, IPSC offers shooting courses called "stages," where the shooter moves within a defined environment, engaging several targets, fixed or moving, while simultaneously progressing.
Each course is unique and requires the shooter to consider their strategy: which firing order to adopt, where to move, when to reload… all while adhering to strict safety rules. The final score takes into account both the accuracy of the shots and the time taken, making the discipline technical, fun, and highly engaging.
Accessible to all with appropriate coaching, IPSC is a discipline that promotes personal growth, self-control, and pushing beyond one's limits. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned competitor, everyone will find a challenge suited to their abilities in a friendly and passionate atmosphere.
In Vertus, practicing IPSC is to live a unique experience, in an extraordinary environment, where sport, nature and technical skill meet to offer incomparable sensations.
SNAP SPORT
The clay pigeon shooting range at STC Vertus is also situated in this remarkable environment, in the heart of the vineyards and within the unique setting of the former chalk quarry. This location offers terrain perfectly suited to the sport, with open spaces allowing for varied and natural trajectories, while guaranteeing a high level of safety.
Clay pigeon shooting is an accessible and fun sporting discipline that involves shooting at clay targets launched into the air by machines. These targets simulate the flight path of game birds, with trajectories, speeds, and angles varying depending on the configuration. The objective is simple: break the target before it hits the ground.
Several shooting disciplines exist, such as sporting clays, compak sporting, or trap shooting, each offering different shooting situations. This allows for a variety of experiences and gradual progression, whether you are a beginner or an experienced shooter.
Clay pigeon shooting requires coordination, reactivity, and concentration. It's a friendly sport where you can quickly have fun while striving to improve your technique with each session.
At STC Vertus, clay pigeon shooting takes place in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with tailored coaching to guide new shooters. Whether for a first-time experience or regular practice, everyone can progress at their own pace and enjoy an exceptional setting to fully experience this sport.
RECREATIONAL SHOOTING
Recreational shooting at STC Vertus takes place in the same exceptional setting as the club's other disciplines, in the heart of the old chalk quarry. This unique site offers a calm, safe, and particularly pleasant environment, ideal for learning or practicing shooting in complete peace of mind.
The shooting range has 25-meter and 50-meter firing lines, allowing it to accommodate different types of weapons and shooting styles. The 25-meter line is particularly suited to precision pistol or revolver shooting, while the 50-meter line allows for rifle shooting practice under more technical conditions, especially in terms of stability and trajectory reading.
Recreational shooting is based on a simple principle: taking the time to master your technique, breathing, and concentration in order to hit the target accurately. Unlike dynamic disciplines, here calmness, consistency, and precision are central to the practice. It's an excellent entry point into the world of sport shooting, accessible to everyone, without the pressure of immediate performance.
