Hello and welcome.

I have seen pictures of the indoor ranges in Holland, they look amazing. I think my cousin shoots pistols in Leiden (he is a very proud Glock owner).

Hi Gareth

Our range is in the east of the Netherlands. My friend is also from Leiden. But he moved to our Neighborhood.
We have quite a large indoor range with 12 x 10meter shootingpoints for airrifle and airpistol,
14 x 25 meter shooting points for smallbore and fullbore pistol, and 12 x 100 meter shooting points for the smallbore and fullbore rifle disciplins. Some photo's from our range below.

The firearms laws look to be quite strict, similar to the UK.

The firearms laws look to be quite strict, similar to the UK.

Our firearms laws are quite strict indeed. We have to renew our licence every year. From next year on with a yearly computer psychological test. And we have to give three names of references who can be asked about, home and range situations and your mental situation like lots of stress on work, divorce, burnout etc. Whe also need a license for gunpowder next year.
It's made quite difficult to be a sportshooter. Also the license fees are raised by almost 400%. It looks like the Government tries to ban guns for private use like sportshooting and hunting
