Noordoostpolder and Urk at world level
The Location: Where Precision Meets Spectacle
Set in the heart of the Noordoostpolder, Flevoland, near the vibrant communities of Creil and Urk, the Dutch Precision Range promises a one-of-a-kind setting for precision shooting. Picture this: a world-class long-range shooting facility stretching along the iconic dyke, with shots soaring over the water. The shooting positions and targets, designed like a striking pier or breakwater, will extend perpendicular to the dyke, creating a breathtaking and unparalleled experience.
On the inland side, a modern complex will house state-of-the-art indoor ranges, a welcoming canteen, ample parking, and versatile facilities to cater to every need. To visualize the scale of the outdoor range: imagine a length surpassing six traditional inland windmills, with a generous width of approximately 100 meters. This is more than a shooting range—it’s a landmark destination for shooters worldwide, blending innovation, functionality, and the stunning beauty of Flevoland’s landscape.
The Rotterdamse Hoek: A Thriving Hub for Shooting Sports
The Rotterdamse Hoek pulses with the spirit of shooting sports.

Today, three clubs actively utilize the region’s existing shooting range, a testament to a vibrant and dynamic shooting community. The arrival of a modern, state-of-the-art shooting sports center—complete with indoor ranges and a long-range shooting facility—opens up extraordinary opportunities. This new center will welcome more shooters, introduce exciting disciplines like long-range shooting (currently limited in the region), and firmly establish the Rotterdamse Hoek as a global hotspot for precision shooting.

This world-class facility will draw not only local and national shooters but also international elite athletes and competitive teams seeking top-tier training and competition opportunities for long-range shooting. With this, the Rotterdamse Hoek is poised to become a global hub for precision shooting, captivating the worldwide shooting sports community with its unmatched appeal.
To envision the scale of the outdoor range: picture a length stretching just beyond six traditional inland windmills, paired with a generous 100-meter width—an awe-inspiring space ready to embrace the future of shooting sports.
