Expat-friendly shooting club in Zurich?

Hi, I recently acquired a C permit, and I'd like to try some shot. My Schwizerdütsch is not really the best, so I was wondering if anyone can recommend a shooting club in the Zurich area which won't groan at me for being Italian. I'd like to just do some practice and therefore I'd have to rent some guns in place. I have tried it before so I'm not 100% n00b but definitely not a skilled shooter and unfortunately I don't have any shooter acquaintances here who could introduce me.

Thanks in advance for any useful reply

If anyone knows an english speaking club in west Switzerland please let me know ! I'd love to take up target shooting here.

I'm trying to find some IPSC near to Buchs SG.

If someone know please inform me.

I need to buy the wepon with PermitB, as I search it's allowed.

Thank you.

Permits ? We don’t need no stinking permits!

Of a naturally friendly disposition, I will gladly shoot any expat for free (would regret an Italian less - but hey, just trying to be helpful) ... we can line up at dawn, if you prefer, but depending upon location do bear in mind, I might have to travel overnight... how about the afternoon? Early evening?

I need to spend some time on finally finishing that site...

The club is much more active than the site, we go shooting at least once a month. We have a whatsapp group to organise, so drop me a pm and I'll get you added.

Edit: Forgot to say, I'm Italian too - so if you prefer to speak Italian, that goes. We will have our next "newbies" day on the 27th of July if you're interested, drop me a PM.

From what I know: it is possible, but hard to get.

What really helps with B permit is to have a gun licence from your home country

Yes, I have the document from Brazil, will try to put the same in the files, or I can pay for the translation to english or german here.

Sent you a PM thanks!

Talk about "what first pops into your head" with thread titles...

Every time I come across this thread title, I first imagine someone looking for a shooting club that doesn't shoot expats.

ROTFL that would also be helpful, yes

Out of interest, where is this club? I can't seem to find info on location unless I am being completely blind.

It's online

In terms of ranges, these are the most common we use :

Swiss Shooting Group (Spreitenbach)

Tivoli (Spreitenbach)

Selgis

Bruning indoor (300m indoor range in a mountain, very cool)

That said, we are a very new club... so if there's a range you like using, we are more than happy to adapt

Hey @Spinal is the English speaking shooting club still active? I emailed the address on the website but got a bounce back.

Very much so - odd that you got a bounce, as it should goto my private email.

Anyhow, we don’t use that site that much - we organise on whatsapp. Will drop you a link by pm
