I have won the club-championship 2024 in 300m rifle and was awarded a trophy last night, togheter with two bottles of wine, a crisp 10 Francs bill and a voucher for 100 cartridges of ammunition. 
Needless to say: I am very happy about that

Nice shooting! Do you have any Swiss medals? Iām going to (want to) shoot for one this year. The problem is that the Swiss Athletic Society here is very small. The next club I know that shoots sanctioned Swiss rifle match is 5 hours by car.
The last formal match I attended was a GSSF (Glock Shooting Sports Foundation) match in 2018ā¦life gets in the way of things. I won 4 categories and my haul of prizes was 3 guns and a plaque! That was a pretty awesome. I canāt find the paperwork that has the census but if I recall correctly there was approximately 450 shooters. I used a G26, G19, G21 and a G34.
Iām trying to get back into shooting matches. Life leaves little time for me to do that nowdays. I shot a match yesterday and in a few weeks there is a local range hosting a GSSF outdoor match. Its like 500 people+ at these GSSF matches. They also do them at Anniston with the CMP. Thats like 3k+ people!!!
Iāll add more photos later.

I have many fire arms. I will keep my fire arms, not because of any unrealistic expectation of the government coming and taking them because, they will not. That tooth paste can not be put back in the tube, logistics, expense, inability to conceivably collect and destroy that many guns and creating a serious illegal market that will foster more violence.
I will keep them because throughout my life every time I have gone to the range I have listened to a consistent line from a group of people who want to inform anyone who would listen, why they are carrying a gun. They are now just waiting for permission to act, or the stress of life becoming too much and committing a very serious act of stress on a community they choose for what ever reason they feel justified because of what ever reason.
I go to the range keep quite listen work on my skills.

Noice!
Amazing! Congratulations. I guess prices in The US are a little bigger, than small town switzerland. On the subject of swiss medals: I only have a silver medal from a junior match with the Stgw90. But what I have more of are āKrƤnzeā, which are also like medals, that you get if you reach a certain point-level. So many shooters can reach such a āKranzā in the same match.
The competition here is strong, which is great. But that also means, that if you even loose a single point in a match, you are not gonna get a price, even in local matches. If there even is one in the first place.
Interesting. But could you make a more concrete statement to what you are actually saying? I may be lost in translationā¦
GSG-5, right?
A range-queen, I guess? 
Hells yea. Man, that gsg9 should be eating 500 rounds each session haaha. Those things are so fun!
The Concussion from shooting those indoors!!!
Shoot at the target. See a big hole. Watch the paper wave in the wind.
Hells yea man! You know exactly whats up. That thing rules, funnest gun ever! When I first got it all my buddies snickered and goffed at it cause its ridiculous. Then they shot it and are hooked always ask if Iām going to bring it. Of course its not cool enough for them to buy one. They think $3k on a Gucciād out Glock is better money spent. To each their own haaha.

What do you mean when you say competition is strong there and dropping a point doesnāt mean winning? Thats not just where youāre at, thats competition in general. Yoyo comp, baseball, basketball, shooting, etc, if youāre down means no winning.
