Going to Northern Italy

[dooseydog]

we are having a break in Northern Italy, do not want the hassle of taking our own guns, does any member know of any clubs in Northern Italy that would allow us to shoot ? come to that is there a website that lists overseas / European clay gun clubs ? "googled" for ages but to no avail, hope someone can help, many thanks

Try this one, might be too far South for you..??

or this one near Rome:

There's also one at Agna, in Padova, may be closer to where you are going, e-mail them for info on:

Cat, are you going to New Zeland in Feb 2011? just wondering as you seem to be the globetrotter on here, come to that any others here going to the world sporting clays in NZ ??

just curious, me and my buddy are heading there, i think a few more from Alberta will be making the trip too, should be a good show i'm told, top fishing there as well.

we are pretty unplanned , as if we knew of good clubs / grounds would stay in that area , so anywhere above and possibly 50 km below a line drawn through Milan - great if you could help

The Italians are very keen trap/ skeet shooters so you'll find more shooting grounds with those disciplines than anything else, Compak Sporting is often shot on a trap range too. Northern Italy is the home of their gunmaking industry and you'll find most of the manufacturers based in the Val Trompia area north of Brescia, which is east of Milan along the A4 autostrada.

 

This is the website for Trap Concaverde, Lonato which is just off the A4 near Desenzano, Lake Garda.

This is the website for Cieli Aperti which is just off the A4 near Bergamo owned by Renato Lamera the well known trick shooter.

This is the website for Ghedi again just south of the A4 between Bergamo and Desenzano. They shoot mainly Helice (ZZ) there.

This is the website for San Fruttuosso, Castell Gofreddo which is south of Trap Concaverde, Lonato.

The Italians call clay shooting 'tiro a volo' (TAV) so any signs with TAV on it will find shooting.

 

Hope that helps.
