More & more I'm seeing that people are the same the world over. They want to be free...free to live & shoot as much as they want to. Wonder why their faces were blurred out?

The British shooting teams have emigrated to Switzerland as I understand. What a boon to the Swiss. What a loss for the English.

Great post...

Very cool indeed!

I love seeing people around the world enjoy various parts of the firearms "sports" - and pursuing their God-given right to be free!!!

I got into a debate last week with a peer and his wife from Toronto. When the conversation meandered into what we did off work for enjoyment, and I said "shoot", she went into a 10 minute diatribe about how Canadians "weren't a gun culture", didn't have the American fascination with guns, weren't violent, and "didn't like them".

I paused, smiled, then told her that this was often the case in our urban areas as well, but I knew for a fact that wasn't the case in Canada's rural areas. I went on to explain that I had the pleasure through a firearms forum (this one) to get to know several Canadians who love and use firearms as much as most Americans. I then said that there were several British, Australian, and other Europeans - as well as others from around the world, that either enjoyed firearms or wish they could.

She was shocked. Oh well...

I suspect the faces are blurred out to respect the privacy of people in photos the photographer didn't know. I wouldn't think to do that if I took photos of a shooting competition here, but if were going to post them it is taking good care of details.

Maybe the subjects are famous or politcal figures.

Very Cool....!

I really like the "Anti-Austrian" device. I bet that would also work as an Anti-Jihadist device as well...

Excellent post! Does my heart good to see people embracing a nice rifle when they see one. Especially other nations embracing one of our designs.

Possibly some active duty military types as well. Then again, short haircuts may be the norm over there.

Pics were cool, EXCEPT for the Anti-Austrian Device

, wish we had a place as nice as that to shoot here in Austria.
