About Jebel Ali Shooting Club
The Jebel Ali shooting Club in the Jebel Ali resort (JA resort) stands like a fortress in the middle of the Jebel Ali desert. It provides shooters of all skill levels with a distinctive environment for recreation and competition that encourages them to improve and try new things. Five floodlit clay shooting ranges and a 10-lane, 25-meter pistol range are available at the indoor and outdoor ranges, and all of them are open to novices, corporate groups, and seasoned shooters. Shooting styles available include Olympic trap, automatic ball trap, down the line, compak sporting, and Olympic skeet. The shooting range at Jebel Ali Shooting Club is built to international safety standards and provides the best environment for you to discover the true taste of the sport and what shooting is really like.
What can you expect inside?
With its striking architecture, entering the club feels a little like you are entering an ancient Arabian style castle. Shooting as a sport is a unique and enjoyable way to spend time with friends, family, or your partner. Pistol shooting, clay shooting, and archery are all available at the Jebel Ali Shooting Club. Pistol shooting is done indoors and involves shooting a regular pistol, rifle, or shooting gun at a distant circular target, whereas Clay shooting is done outdoors and involves shooting flying clay targets with a shot gun.
The ranges are set up to accommodate "Olympic Tap," a shooting event that is a part of the Olympic Games' shooting program and involves shooting at a moving target from 70 to 75 meters. Shooters can rotate through each of the five stations. The 'Automatic ball trap,' which uses only one trap machine, is the next technique. Down the Line, a beginner-level discipline, uses a single trap to launch a target 45–50 meters away at a height of 2.75 meters. International and English sports are scaled down in "compak sporting." Shooting an 'Olympic skeet' involves shooting at eight shooting stations on a semicircle and one in the center. Throughout the experiences, instructors are on hand to ensure patron safety and to guide them on proper equipment usage.
