The shooting range where you fire over a busy road (YT video)

[Sylvain]

Not sure if any of you guys are familiar with Tom Scott (British Youtuber).
His latest video is about a shooting range in Switzerland where shooters shoot over a road.
I thought I would share.

Ok, this is too funny! I was just getting ready to post this video. My 13 year old granddaughter just sent it to me. She is a big fan of Scott.

I've been watching his videos for years.

Swiss precision at its finest. Bet they don't have holes in the ceiling like most ranges around here...

Holy cow! That is wild. Can you imagine the quality control necessary for the rounds being fired. A weak round could ruin someone's day. But he says it's never happened in 20 years. That's pretty good quality.

If you look carefully, there is a thick concrete wall in front of the firing line that comes to just below the targets in your sighting picture. If you had a wild shot, or a round without “quality control”, it would simply strike the concrete wall and have no chance of striking any cars on the highway

Yes sir, I saw the concrete wall. But I'm talking about a round that makes it over the wall but not to the Target. Theoretically, there are all levels of power possible between 100% - On Target, and 0%, that doesn't make it out of the barrel.

Did I miss in the video where they said the range to the targets? It looks like a long way!

Thought this was about Chicago and the Dan Ryan for a minute.

Tom's videos are great.
