German Technology in Giant High-Tech Shooting Facility
At most American shooting facilities, you’re lucky to have running water and an electrical hook-up. Those Germans, with their penchant for advanced engineering, have created an amazingly high-tech (and even luxurious) indoor shooting facility that is truly state-of-the art. The NRA is proud of its modern indoor range in Fairfax, Virginia, but the NRA range can’t hold a candle to the advanced Müller Schiess Zentrum facility in Ulm, Germany. This vast complex features an indoor benchrest range with video monitors, a full-sized trap/skeet hall, pistol ranges, and a “running game” hunting simulator that actually displays (in 3D view) the placement of your bullet strike in the moving animal prey. On top of this, the Müller Schiess Zentrum Ulm (MSZU) has a cafe, a restaurant, and a large shopping/retail facility.
We still prefer shooting outdoors, but for a country like Germany, where long, cold winters limit the opportunities for outdoor shooting, a deluxe indoor facility like this makes sense. German reader JPeelen adds: “The problem in Germany is not [just] the weather but density of population. Noise problems led to the closure of many outdoor ranges. Ulm is unique because it offers a 300 meter indoor range, not just 100 meters[.]” Overall, you have to hand it to the Germans for “raising the bar” to a whole new level. View the Müller Schiess Zentrum’s amazing facilities in the video below. The editor of The Firearm Blog wrote: “I have seen the future… and it is in Germany. If you don’t do anything else today, just make sure you watch this video.”

“Müller Scheiss Zentrum Ulm”
Scheiss = Shit
Schiess = Shooting
Good laugh for a native German speaker.
It should be “MÜLLER SCHIESS ZENTRUM ULM”
My first thought was how horribly expensive it must be to have a membership to a place like this. Many of the outdoor ranges around here might have a $100 annual membership. A place like that in Germany could easily be $100 a month! I realize it’s more difficult and more expensive to own guns in most European countries, but I’ll keep the outdoor wood and paper targets in 90+ degrees with 100% humidity and $1100, thank you much!

Ulm is unique because it offers a 300 meter indoor range, not just 100 m of which we have several in Bavaria.
300m in Germany (or most any EU country) is a luxury, so people are willing to pay a bit more. Although I doubt it is anything like $100 per month.
Super Geil! Schade das es so weit weg ist von mir
Naja, nächste Woche wieder auf Bisley.
And around 30$ for skeeting!
