Beijing Shooting Range

Beijing Shooting Range

Situated at the foot of the verdant Cuiwei Mountain in the scenic western suburbs of Beijing, Beijing Shooting Range offers fresh air and a tranquil atmosphere amidst the hustle and bustle. It serves as the training and competition base for both the Chinese Shooting Team and the Chinese Archery Team. To integrate competitive sports with public fitness, Beijing Shooting Range has successively established the Shooter Entertainment City and the Archery Entertainment Park. To satisfy the public's interest in shooting and archery and give them a chance to have a go, the two entertainment parks offer a wide range of sports programs tailored to different participants' characteristics. For those who have never touched a gun or drawn a bow—whether beginners or those just getting into the sport with great enthusiasm—you can feel completely at ease. On the competitive field, it’s not always just about winning; participation is important too. After a tense and busy workweek, coming here to experience “real guns and live ammo” or “drawing a bow and shooting arrows” is the ultimate in relaxation and enjoyment. The Shooter Entertainment City and the Archery Entertainment Park provide services to guests all year round, without holiday closures.

Beijing Shooting Range is located at Futian Temple in the western suburbs of Beijing, nestled at the foot of the picturesque Cuiwei Mountain. It enjoys fresh air and an elegant environment, providing a peaceful retreat amid the city noise.

Beijing Shooting Range is situated near the Badachu area in the Western Hills scenic zone of Beijing’s western suburbs. Established in 1955, it frequently hosts international and national shooting competitions and has produced multiple Olympic gold medalists. The shooting events of the 1990 Asian Games were also held here.

Beijing Shooting Range will continue to serve as a venue for shooting competitions during the 2008 Olympics. Therefore, the Beijing municipal government will expand the existing site and construct new indoor pistol and rifle shooting ranges, as well as a main administrative building. The buildings will be constructed using environmentally friendly and recyclable materials, and will incorporate solar power generation, water recycling systems, natural lighting, and advanced electronic communication systems, giving this historic shooting range a new lease on life.

The construction of the new indoor shooting range and the administrative center is scheduled to commence in March 2005 and be completed by December 2006, with an estimated construction budget of US$37.91 million. Additionally, US$4.4 million will be allocated to renovate the skeet shooting range, ensuring all facilities meet the requirements of future Olympic Games.

Beijing Shooting Range is 19 kilometers from the Olympic Village and will be directly connected via a highway, reachable in a 20-minute drive. The finals spectator stands can accommodate 2,500 fixed seats, the qualification competition venue can hold 6,500 people, and the outdoor skeet field can accommodate 5,000 temporary seating installations.
