  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

While it's true that there's a popular shooting sports community in Switzerland for sure, the style of shooting done in PCSL is pretty particular to the US. Modern sporting rifles--what some would call assault-style rifles--are very strictly regulated in most countries. I would expect that countries most likely to have people proficient in that specific discipline of movement and shooting would be from Switzerland, Finland, and Czechia. Air rifle and air pistol are more popular in Russia because of the strict regulations on firearm ownership. (Technically you can compete in PCSL using a lever action or bolt action rifle, but it would be an enormous handicap.)
