Shooting FAQ's
What is Sport Shooting?
Sport shooting (Clay, Trap and Skeet) has gained popularity among hunting
groups as game preserves and individual hunters are becoming more
conservation-minded. In sporting clays, marksmen forgo live quarry and test
their skills by shooting clay targets that replicate the actual flight of
live game.
How did this sport start?
Many years ago, live game was killed for sustenance. Today shooting for food
is no longer necessary. Shooting and hunting has been a hobby enjoyed by
royalty for centuries and has become a popular tradition among wealthy
families in the Dominican Republic, and their Latin neighbors as well. They
frequent Casa de Campo’s Shooting Centre for practice and as participants in
tournaments throughout the year highlighted by the Resorts’ exclusive Sugar
Invitational each Spring. What is unique about the
Casa de Campo Shooting Centre?
- It has one of the tallest towers in the world.
- The centre spans 245-acres, and has plenty of room to grow.
- The wonderful weather in the Dominican Republic allows shooters, and those
new to the sport, year round access to hone their skills.
How can I begin to shoot?

more advanced instruction if requested. Private lessons range in price. Call
