National Olympic Shooting Center, Olympic shooting range in Herzliya, Israel
The National Olympic Shooting Center in Herzliya is a sports facility with specialized shooting ranges for rifle, pistol, and shotgun disciplines, all equipped with electronic target systems. The facility is built to international competition standards and features separate areas for different shooting sports.
The range was founded in 1983 by a non-profit organization, following the vision of Lt. Col. (res.) Emanuel Ben-Amram, who led the Israeli Shooting Association for four decades and directed the facility until 2005. Yitzhak Rabin, then Minister of Defense, served as its first chairman for eight years.
The center is named after Yigal Alon, and its first chairman was then-defense minister Yitzhak Rabin, who held the post for eight years. Today it hosts training and competitions for Israeli shooting clubs alongside international competitors such as Guy Starik, Sergey Richter and Doron Shaziri.
The center sits at 85 Jabotinsky Street in Herzliya, next to the Herzliya Municipal Stadium and the Seven Stars Mall. It hosts training and competitions for shooting clubs, courses for security personnel and the public, and licensed-shooter practice, plus paintball games. An auditorium on site is used for conferences.
Each shooting station is equipped with advanced electronic scoring technology that instantly captures and analyzes shooter performance. This allows coaches to identify weaknesses and provide athletes with real-time feedback during training.
