Where the Forest Decides Who You Really Are
There’s something different about shooting deep in the Sologne woods. The moment you step onto le domaine de Sologne, the forest stops being scenery and becomes part of the challenge. Every layout feels alive: high birds cutting above the pines, fast true pairs exploding from the shadows, long open crossers that punish even the smallest hesitation.
And when le Grand Défi de Sologne begins, the air changes. Shooters from across Europe gather here for one reason - to test themselves against the toughest trajectories this region can throw at you. There are no easy stations, no forgiving pairs, no moment to relax. Just rhythm, instinct, and that split second between calling “Pull” and watching the clay vanish.
This place isn’t just a shooting ground.
It’s a challenge. A lesson. An atmosphere you don’t forget.
And le domaine de Sologne is the kind of place you return to because it pushes you further every single time.

Where the Forest Becomes Part of the Shot
There’s a place in the Vosges where shooting feels different — calmer, more natural, almost nostalgic. Locals know it as TP Argile Vittel, though many still lovingly call it Ball-Trap de Vittel. Whatever name you choose, the experience stays the same: pure clay shooting surrounded by deep forest silence.
What I love about TP Argile Vittel is its authenticity. No big arenas, no crowd pressure — just real sporting clays in a green, peaceful environment. Families, beginners, and seasoned shooters all mix here, and the warm vibe of Ball-Trap de Vittel makes everyone feel welcome.
If you’re new to the sport, this stand is a perfect start. You get everything you need — gun, guidance, safety, clays — and the team at TP Argile Vittel treats every newcomer with patience and genuine friendliness. Many shooters fire their very first shot right here.
And then there’s the atmosphere. Trees, birds, clean air, and that instant when the world goes quiet right before you call “Pull.” That’s the magic of Ball-Trap de Vittel — simple, honest, and unforgettable.
If you ever pass through the region, don’t miss it. Some stands impress you with size.
This one wins you over with soul.

What Makes a French “Club de ball-trap” So Special?
If you travel through France, you’ll often hear shooters talk about the club de ball-trap — a uniquely French world of clay shooting that mixes sport, tradition, and countryside atmosphere.
In France, ball-trap is the umbrella term for everything related to clay shooting: Sporting Clays (Parcours de chasse), Compak Sporting, Skeet, DTL, Universal Trench, and even Hélices. Depending on the region, a single club can offer two or eight different disciplines.
What sets French clubs apart is their diversity. Some are simple forest stands where beginners can try 25 shots with rented gear. Others are massive sporting complexes with dozens of traps, competition layouts, and national-level events. Many clubs offer full initiation packages — gun, instructor, ammo, safety briefing — making it easy for anyone to try clay shooting for the first time.
Another key element is atmosphere. A French club de ball-trap isn’t just a shooting ground — it's a community. You’ll find friendly staff, local shooters sharing advice, and often a café or clubhouse where everyone gathers between rounds. The experience feels both sporty and cultural at the same time.
For tourists, hunters, competitors, or complete beginners, these clubs offer one of the most accessible ways to enjoy French shooting culture — outdoors, relaxed, and beautifully rooted in the landscape.

My Season on France’s Clay Trails
If you’ve ever stood on a shooting field in France during summer, you know that sound — the sharp crack rolling across the countryside. That’s the heartbeat of Parcours de Chasse Loisir, a light, friendly, and unbelievably addictive style of clay shooting.
Every season for me begins the same way: scrolling through the Calendrier des compétitions de Parcours de Chasse Loisir. Everything is there — from relaxed Épreuves Loisir to classic Parcours de Chasse traditionnel, and of course the lively summer Ball-Trap Loisir events.
I’ve always had a soft spot for the Journées Découvertes — those open-door days when clubs welcome newcomers. The energy is so warm that even total beginners leave with bright eyes and a desire to come back.
And when I want real excitement, I wait for the Grand Prix and Challenges Régionaux — competitions that carry a genuine spirit of rivalry, but with that unmistakable French friendliness.
Each part of the season has its own mood:
🌿 spring brings the first easy rounds,
☀️ summer is all about festivals and Ball-Trap,
🍂 autumn closes the year with finals and good company.
And every time I return, I realize it’s not just about shooting. It’s about the people, the atmosphere, the celebration — and those targets that fly so beautifully you can’t even be upset when you miss.

If you're curious about how Compak Sporting works, here is a short summary of the recent article from Arena Journal. It explains the structure of the discipline, its rules and why formats like Concours FITASC de Compak Sporting attract so many shooters.
Compak Sporting is built around a compact shooting zone (cadre / box), usually about 25×40 m, with five shooting positions (postes 1–5). Each position has a specific menu des plateaux (target menu) that includes simples (singles) and doublés (doubles). Several machines de lancer (trap machines A–E) launch targets with different trajectories such as lapin (rabbit), teal, chandelle, croisés or sortants / entrants.
A standard series includes 25 plateaux, arranged in formats like “only singles”, “3 singles + 1 double”, or “1 single + 2 doubles”. The shotgun must remain in a low-gun position (arme non épaulée) until the target becomes visible. Scoring is straightforward: touché (hit) or zéro (miss), with no bird used for invalid targets.
The article also highlights the advantages of this discipline: compact layout, clear rules, dynamic target variety and suitability for both beginners and experienced shooters. Whether it is a local match or a formal FITASC event such as a compétition de Compak Sporting, the structure remains consistent worldwide.

#CompakSporting
Looking into clay shooting? Here’s a quick intro to the discipline governed by FITASC, with real-world style and variety.
What is it
Instead of a compact shooting box, this format spreads across open terrain. Shoot from multiple postes, each framed (cadre) — targets can fly over fields, between trees, even across hills. You never know what’s coming.
Targets & shooting
Expect a wide variety of trajectories — lapin (rabbit), chandelle, fast battue, teal, entrants/sortants, croisés. Shots follow the “low gun” rule: shotgun stays below the shoulder until target appears. Each broken target = 1 point (touché), misses count as zéro, invalid launches are repeated as no bird. Doubles (doublés) are allowed.
Why it matters
This format — including official matches like Concours FITASC de Sporting — brings genuine variability, realism and a high technical challenge. Great for shooters craving more than “just targets.”
