I’m shooting in the Coupe des Nations in April.

Although I have visited the regions you mention in your comment, I have only participated in the shooting sports in Ile de France. Here is a link to the ball-trap federation and a list of clubs in the various regions of France.

You would probably want to look at the following departemtents: 14, 22, 27, 29, 35, 50, 56, 61, and 76.

I am not aware that they shoot English Sporting Clays anywhere in France. They shoot what we in the US refer to as FITASC, but in France it is called parcours de chasse. They LOVE hard targets!!

Codialement,
Joe Wilkins

Can you tell us how to get in contact with shooting clubs in the area, or one or two you would recommend. Sporting Clays is our game.

Thank you very much.

They don’t even have a website, sometimes it drives me crazy that the french are not that open to the rest of the world, but actually it is also the one thing I do admire so much. For those interested in Ball-Trap in France you can find all (?) the clubs who are on the web in my delicious bookmarks: http://delicious.com/phatblog/btc – I did add the number of the départment to the club name.
