Swiss Shooting Museum

Spot, aim, hit

The collections document the development of marksmanship in Switzerland, particularly the period since the foundation of the Schweizerischen Schützenvereins (Swiss Rifle Association) in 1824 through to today's modern sport. They date back to the year 1885, a time when the rifle clubsshooting societies played an important part in social life. The museum's holdings include marksmanship trophies, historical documents and photos pictures to do with shooting festivals and international competitions, as well as flags and special weapons. The items provide information about prominent shooters, past and continuing traditions, as well as sporting achievements.

Visitors can even test their own marksmanship skills on the air rifle range that dates from 1952.
