Welcome at the stand
The cars drop your guests, the coach introduces himself, ear and eye protection is handed to each person, and safety instructions are explained before the first shot.
Private clay shooting
Private Clay Shooting for Your Guests
Stands reserved for your party alone, a qualified coach for those new to it, a table to come back to: we arrange clay shooting for a leadership team, clients or a family, often alongside a shooting day or a stay at a château, and everything around it.
Hosting around the clays, among yourselves
On a shooting day, not every guest holds a hunting licence, and none will get one for a single day: the French licence involves training, an exam and then a validation. Clay shooting lets you include them fully. For a coached introduction at a club, a guest new to shooting shoots under a day authorisation (autorisation de pratique journalière), according to the club's rules.
TGZ Conciergerie arranges private sessions only: stands reserved for your party, at affiliated clubs or with partner organisers in France, never a place among other shooters. A qualified coach stays beside those trying it for the first time; experienced shots have targets that match their level.
Private clay shooting runs alongside a shooting day for those who do not hunt, extends a stay at a château, or brings your guests together in spring and summer, when the hunting season is closed. We arrange everything else in the same hands, from the chauffeur to the table, and tell you what is possible before you commit, in complete discretion.
Who it's for
For hosts who want everyone to shoot
Leadership teams and firms that entertain
An executive committee, clients, investors: a half-day or full day of shooting, among yourselves, followed by lunch.
Hosts of a shooting day
Partners, friends or clients who accompany your guns without a hunting licence also hold a gun, coached and safely.
Family offices and families
Several generations gathered for a stay at a château, around shooting where everyone has a place.
Guests from abroad
In France from London, Geneva, New York or the Gulf, your guests try shooting without the formalities of a licence.
A clay ground reserved for your party
What we arrange
Six concrete moments, prepared with the club or the partner organiser for your guests alone.
The first mount
Stance, mount, eyes on the line: the coach stands beside each guest new to shooting, with no audience, until the first clay breaks.
A clay against the sky
Simple targets first, then more varied ones, at each person's pace: the pleasure comes quickly, and no one is rushed.
Stands reserved for your group
For your experienced shots, stands reserved for your party alone, more demanding targets and a chance for some friendly competition.
Simulated game, out of season
In spring and summer, some organisers recreate the rhythm of a driven day, with clays sent over the treetops. We tell you where and when it is possible.
Lunch after shooting
A table laid on the terrace or indoors, a seasonal menu, wines chosen with care: time to compare scores and let the day run on without hurry.

Frequently asked
What hosts ask before private clay shooting
Not for a coached introduction at a club. A guest new to shooting shoots under a day authorisation provided for by the rules governing clay shooting, under the guidance of a coach. A hunting licence remains essential to hunt game.
We only arrange private sessions for your party: each one is quoted individually, according to the venue, the number of guests, the coaching and the hospitality you want, from lunch to a full stay. Our guide to the cost of a shooting day explains what the market charges and what makes up the price.
Yes, depending on how the day is organised. While the guns are out on the drives, non-shooting guests can try clay shooting, and everyone meets for lunch. Those who prefer to follow the shoot stay beside a gun, following the safety instructions set by the organiser.
Yes. Clay shooting does not depend on the hunting season, only on each club's calendar. In spring and summer, some organisers also offer simulated game days that follow the rhythm of a driven shoot: we tell you what is possible for your date.
Yes, as a half-day or full day, with transport and lunch. For a full corporate shooting day with guests who hunt, we build a dedicated programme.
At affiliated clubs and with partner organisers in France, including near Paris and close to the estates where we arrange shooting days. We choose the venue according to your starting point and your group, and arrange the journey there and back.
A first conversation
Plan your private day
A few lines are enough: the date, the number of guests, who is new to it and who already shoots, the day or stay the shooting accompanies. We reply personally, in complete discretion.
