Many people would question a road crossing the line of fire at a shooting range, and it certainly would not be approved here in the UK. But Switzerland takes a different approach. It follows the ballistics data, trusts the engineering, and accepts that a well-designed range keeps a road safe even when it crosses the firing line.
Trusting the Data Over the Instinct
It looks alarming at first glance, and that reaction is understandable. However, the safety margins are calculated in detail long before a range like this is approved for public use. The road is only ever exposed to controlled, predictable trajectories, not the unpredictable risk it appears to represent.
It is a useful reminder for our own sport. Good range design, and a proper respect for ballistics, is what keeps everyone safe, not guesswork or gut feeling.
