The safest shooting ranges in the world are in Switzerland, and they always have bars. They don't even limit the consumption to afterwards, either... they have a long history of having a glass of wine before shooting. It's actually a great way to relax and calm the ol' nerves, which can really boost scores.

You can always hide a flask of Knob Creek and have a sip before a shoot...

Only if you're shooting at Knob Creek.

I stand by my statement. Of course I also believe that alcohol and breathing doesn't mix. ;)

P.S. How do you KNOW the safest shooting ranges in the world are in Switzerland? Has someone done research on each country with shooting ranges and they were at the top of the list? It sounds like conjecture to me... it certainly could be true... but it seems like an unverifiable claim.

That machine gun shoot looks like fun! I might have to make a trip out there this October...

Well then, that certainly puts into context anything you have to say about alcohol.

I'd say that 500 years without an accident makes them pretty tough to beat, safety-wise.

I'd say 500 years of staying completely non-commital to any cause outside of neutrality would make me question why the Swiss have shooting ranges in the first place.

How do you think they've maintained 500 years of neutrality?

The world would be a better place if all nations had the same policy.
