Re: Futuristic German Shooting Range
Where's the flight attendant showing the exit routes? That's the same voice Lufthansa uses during the pre-takeoff safety briefing
Really nice setup, likely VERY expensive, but I somehow prefer to shoot in the open.

Re: Futuristic German Shooting Range
Hopefully not our future. That's what it looks like when only the rich can afford to soot and hunt, because the Germans have regulated the lower classes out of the market.
From the price page (today's exchange rate is 1.22229/1):
25 meter indoor "movie" range
32 euro /15 mins
100 euro / hour
100 meter rifle range
32 euro / hour
128 euro / hour if you want the range all to yourself
five stand (german equivalent)
40 euro / hour
300 meter rifle range
36 euro / hour
138 euro / hour if you want the range all to yourself
25 meter pistol
5 euro /15 mins
18 euro / hour
80 euro / hour if you want the range all to yourself

Re: Futuristic German Shooting Range
Well, hunting in Germany is a upper class sport of some sort. I know some middle class hunters, too. But the majority got enough money to pay for such ranges.
Ulm is not a poor city either. Alot of businessmen are hunters and need something to go to that the common folk can not (pay for).
And judging by the restaurant and shop, the aforementioned Porsche Cayenne driving upper class hunters from south Germany are most welcome in the MSZU
I prefer the straight forward, grounded shooters. I am just a recreational/competitive shooter and I won't pay that much money for something I can have for 3€ for "as-long-as-I-want" on 25/100m, in a less high-tech environment however. As far as I know I could shoot for 15€/hour on 300m near Hamburg.
Anyway, you guys are right...shooting in Germany is not cheap and not as easy as in the states.
I don't know what they project on the movie range if you are a civilian. We are not allowed to shoot human shaped targets, we are not allowed to shoot on the move, from behind cover... the only thing they could simulate for a civilian would be a bulls eye target (paper target would be way cheaper) or a large target that shows 3 times for 2 seconds. Again, would be cheaper to use rotating targets as it is common on dynamic pistol ranges.

Looks interesting, I'll have to ask my buddies from Germany about it.
