While in my country (Finland), shooting and the military in general is a fairly accepted part of society through the conscription/reservist system and there is a widespread shooting community, I'm always amazed how in Switzerland they have these types of shoots where they just line up on a hill and shoot down at some targets with a village being like less than a mile away behind and no one considers that not normal. Cool.


Pretty strict range requirements here (in Finland), though at least during the last few years (thanks to Russia returning back to it's normal self), there are more funds directed for opening ranges and money distributed to shooting training organizations.

You can see when he gets up to the firing line that they are shooting between the two groups of buildings and there isn't much directly behind the targets, but even then a lot of people would get their panties in a bunch about it even though they are clearly shooting into a good backstop. He says the targets are 300m, so the crossroads is probably closer to two miles by the eye - but it's always much harder to guesstimate that kind of thing with video than it is in person.

There's talk about building a rifle range up near my dad's place and the "problem" is that if someone's off by a degree, lead's going to go flying into a small town.

If the safety plan is "let's not act like retards," that's a shitty safety plan.

(The other "problem" is that there's going to be a LEO clubhouse, and that just seems like an invitation to start shit that doesn't need to be started.)

I like the range a couple miles from my house, where any strays are going to go out over the Bay.

I want to know who built the holster of the guy who just shot one of his nuts off. Anyone know?

I see zero mentions of any backstop(s) included in their plan, which if the range is built and use will inevitably have them in one or more courts.

Or being extremely optimistic might keep them out of trouble if one or more of the LEOs wonder on over and more than subtlely implied certain issues need to be corrected before the range can be safely used.

Additional factoid: article is written by Jack Crosbie, the mustachioed douchebag from Splinter 1.0 and whatever the hell their Substack is called after their parent company killed Splinter and fired the white folk but kept the racist blacks at the Root on payroll.

In other news; Donut Operator got swatted again.

May he rest in peace. He was a very informative and humble person.

Yes he was. A genuinely nice guy who absolutely loved what he did, we should all be so lucky.

I got to meet Mike twice when I lived in Pennsylvania, once at a gun show in Harrisburg, and again at an auction at Morphy's some years before they bought out the James Julia auction business. Neither of us bought anything at the auction, but we sat and talked for a while about his writings in Guns of the Old West magazine, and his and my collections. Quite a bit of my "cowboy gun" collection is his fault, and my replica Colt 1872 Open Top is one he recommended I purchase before we left the auction.

I will genuinely miss his talks about the guns in the old western TV series and various movies.

Rest in Peace Mike, you were one of the good ones.

Guns of the Old West magazine

I used to be so excited to go to the book store to buy the new edition every quarter. I really enjoyed that magazine. sure it was back to back advertising but it was fun.

Now i mainly read Black powder cartridge news, which is almost like a trade magazine mostly consisting of history, match results, loading tips and so on with ads sprinkled through. I love reading about the shooters of the 1870s-1890s min maxing their black powder loads, rifles and bullets to shrink groups at ranges out to 1,000 yards. great publication. All the Wolfe publishing magazines are great. I'm subbed to all of them online so i can access all the back issues.

Damn shame. He had a great channel and seemed to love what he did. I use his tips on getting a BP revolver ready for the range on all my new BP guns.
