- FIREARM RENTALS
While we don’t offer direct hire of firearms, most of our members will happily lend you one of their guns when shooting with them. Alternatively, most ranges will offer a range of pistols, shotguns, rifles, and more to rent.
- AMMO PURCHASE
While you can buy ammo for all calibers from the ranges we use, we organise group buys on a regular basis. This allows us to get some of the best prices in Switzerland. Note that you must use appropriate rounds on ranges, and it is your responisbility to ensure what you buy and shoot is allowed.
About the Club
Open to the general public, ES5 (the English Speaking Swiss Sports Shooting Society) caters to those English Speakers who live in Swtizerland and want to learn to shoot, or continue to shoot, while socialising in an informal atmosphere.
Range Rules
Children below the age 10 are not allowed. All minors must attend while being accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who will sign all documents and stay with them at all times.
Switzerland’s four basic safety principles:
- Always assume a firearm is loaded, and treat it as if it were loaded.
- Never aim a gun at something you don’t want to shoot
- Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot, and have the target in the scope
- Be sure of your target, and what is behind your target
Additional safety principles you must follow when shooting with ES5:
- If you remove a gun from a holster, keep it pointed at the backstop at all times
- Be attentive and careful all the time
- If you see a dangerous situation, report it to a range supervisor directly
- Never use drugs or alcohol before or during your stay on the range
- All of your weapons must be discharged and safely encased before leaving the shooting tray.
