Anatomy of a good Swiss 300m Range

Wow, impressive.

I have been lucky enough to use a galleried range here in BC, but the Swiss set up is another level.

If a Canadian CFO office range inspector saw this video they'd probably have apoplexy!!!

I really like those tubes rifles are shooting thru.They solve so many problems it's a wonder they are not used more often.

Swiss ones on video are lined with soundproofing I think?

I have seen them in Poland on a handgun range.Simple concrete tube like those used for sewage lines and it was incredibly helpful.

In the 1st post, where you see the K31 lying on the carpet, is actually a cover for a shooting pit where you can shoot kneeling at 300m and still keep you muzzle at the same rough position as your prone rifle muzzle height.
Yes acoustic foam sound proofing.

Wow! Now if I could shoot my Hammerli National Match at a range like that, it would be thrilling

Everything has its price. If Canadians paid as much for membership to shooting clubs as they do for memberships to golf clubs, then they could easily have such a setup. We seems to get by quite well with less (just like Americans).

For some reason I can't see the vid or pic in the first post, however I used to live close to Switzerland for a while and also shot on one of their ranges. Some of their ranges fire over the main road, targets in the hill above. The range I was at shot into a hill while the tractors were working the fields below. Almost every village has a 300m range... space could be tight.
