The founders of the Olympiets Sports Complex are the Shooting Union of Russia and OJSC Sea Port of St. Petersburg.
On the territory of the complex, with an area of 15 hectares, there are sites for Olympic shooting types: 3 trench (trap) and 3 round (skete), as well as sites for compact sporting.
More than a hundred launchers and acoustic equipment of ramps and stands allow automatic launching of flying targets. In August 2009, the reconstruction of the Club House and the construction of a sports training complex were completed at Olympiyets.
The club's infrastructure includes a panoramic restaurant, recreation areas for meetings of guests and club members, a conference room, a billiard room, an outdoor cafe, equipped barbecue areas, and a children's playground. SSC "Olympiets" is a training base for young shooters of the Integrated School of Higher Sports Excellence under the Committee on Physical Culture and Sports of the Government of St. Petersburg.
The new building of the sports training complex houses coaching, refereeing, training classes, a training class, as well as an armory.
On a new generation simulator, young athletes can practice shooting techniques at moving and stationary targets. The Olympian sports and shooting complex is a center for the revival of shooting sports in St. Petersburg and the holding of competitions at any level.
Types of shooting
Sports target shooting is divided into three main groups (material taken from the website of the Russian Shooting Union: www.shooting-russia.ru):
- trench stand,
- round stand,
- double trap.
Trench Stand (Trap):
An exercise performed by shooters while standing on the same line of fire in the late 19th century.
received the name "trench stand", and abroad - "trap", from the English trap - hunting. In this exercise, targets are thrown in different directions, and shooting at them requires good reaction and high speed. Round stand (Skeet):
The name of the American - Davis from Androver - is associated with the appearance in the mid-1920s.
a round stand or “skete” (the word has Scandinavian roots), where targets fly along constant trajectories, and athletes, moving in a circle from one shooting station to another, fire at different angles. Targets are presented singly or in doublets from two machines located at a distance of about 40 meters from each other at opposite ends of a semicircular arc on which seven shooting stations are located.
Targets are launched with specified trajectories and speed. This discipline uses combinations of single and double targets, totaling 25 targets in a series.
Targets are launched from high and low boxes with a fixed trajectory and speed. Shooting is carried out from seven shooting stations located in the form of a semicircular arc. A hit target counts as one point, the maximum number of points is 25. Double trap
Simultaneous shooting at paired targets (double).
Compact sporting stands:
Compact sporting is one of the types of sports and hunting shooting, united by the general term - sporting, characterized by the fact that shooting of a series of 25 targets is carried out in limited areas, either standard areas of round and trench stands, or on areas of sizes those close to them.
The maximum range for hitting targets is no more than 35 m. Currently, on the territory of the complex with an area of 15 hectares, there are 3 trench stands (ladders) and 3 round stands (skeets) for Olympic types of shooting, as well as sites for compact sporting.
More than a hundred launchers and electronic equipment of ramps and stands allow automatic launching of moving targets. The technical equipment of the club is constantly improving.
In 2008, five operator posts with an automated fire control center were installed. All sites are equipped with electronic scoreboards, which display results and a summary table of competition participants. Additionally, two throwing machines for compact sporting were installed, releasing targets from behind the shooter’s back, which made it possible to diversify classes in this discipline. An experienced trainer will help you develop technical shooting skills to achieve high results at the Olympiets shooting sports complex.
