Shooting_ranges_in_Switzerland
Shooting ranges in Switzerland are characterised by the widespread provision of targets at 300 metres (330 yd) for service rifle training and qualification, along with a schützenhaus which serves as a community hub for local schützenverein (shooting societies), often including bar and cafe for social events. This results from long-standing connections with Switzerland's militia system, which has led to strong civilian shooting traditions and liberal gun laws.[1]

The challenge of fitting ranges into mountainous Swiss terrain has led to a number of unusual designs, such as the Brünnlisau range, where shooters fire over a main road at targets on the other side of the valley.[2][3]
No permit is needed for an individual to transport an unloaded firearm to or from a shooting range.[4]
