Swiss target crossbow circa 1900. Came without a butt plate so I'm fitting an appropriate brass swiss hook. Crossbow shooting is a popular sport to this day in Switzerland.
Modern crossbow shooting in Switzerland. When I was shooting in Switzerland, the Match Director gave us a tour and we visited a Crossbow range. The enclosed grassy range had a herd of rabbits that were kept on the range to eat the grass. This was common practice and the 300m ranges had cattle and sheep grazing on them.
