The Germans certainly know how to build something right when they set their minds to it. However, their firearms laws are truly draconian. Hunting is highly ritualized and tightly regulated, requiring a prolonged course of instruction and the passing of an extensive examination before being granted a license. Even then, it is unusual for one to be allowed to hunt except in the company of an official forester. And just because one owns a piece of land does not mean that one can hunt on it without the aforementioned license and approval of the local forestry officials.
I was once stationed a few miles north of Ulm in Göppingen, unfortunately long before that Müller Schiesscentrum was built. I did obtain the German hunting license and managed to get in a few successful hunts for Roebuck in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg during leave time. Germany was still rebuilding its game populations following WWII and as a result the hunting at the time was dedicated to culling out the inferior bucks, leaving the capital bucks for breeding.
Carl Walther GmbH is also located in Ulm, and I managed to acquire my first PPK while there.
If I ever get back to that area, I'll absolutely have to see that Müller Schiesscentrum!
