The National Shooting Centre (French: Centre National de Tir Sportif) (CNTS) is a shooting range in Châteauroux, France, owned by the French Shooting Federation (FFTir). The site includes shooting facilities for all Olympic and ISSF disciplines, as well as IPSC Practical disciplines and FITASC clay pigeon shooting.

Construction started on 31 March 2016.[1][2] The 2017 IPSC Handgun World Shoot in August 2017 was the first major event to be held on the range.[3] In 2018 the final parts of the shooting range were completed and inaugurated.[4]

The centre was used as the shooting venue for the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics.[5][6]
