Recreational Shooting
Recreational shooting is widespread in Switzerland. Practice with guns is a popular form of recreation, and is encouraged by the government, particularly for the members of the militia. Swiss firearms-related rights are supported by the organization ProTell.
200,000 people attend the annual Feldschiessen weekend, which is the largest rifle shooting competition in the world.
In addition, there are several private shooting ranges which rent guns. It is possible to go shooting with minimal supervision and without an ID-check.
