The total area of the center is more than 123,000 square meters, which includes: shooting lines, where 80 athletes can compete at the same time, halls for practical exercises, doping tests hall, weapons storage hall, a VIP waiting and rest room, as well as a cafe. In our center, which allows for both professional and amateur shooting, there are all conditions for conducting competitions at such distances as 10, 25, 50 and 300 meters. A fairly large area has been built on the territory, which creates an opportunity for about 80 shooters to train their skills in one place. An indoor shooting range with a shooting distance of 10 meters has also been built here, allowing 80 athletes to compete simultaneously. A 300-meter semi-closed shooting range, which is also available for professional competition, has also been created. 40 athletes can compete here at the same time. 5 shooting ranges have been built at the range, in which 75 vehicles are installed, launching a target for trap shooting. 5 booths built for skeet shooting, there are also 10 machines that launch the target.
