The Finns closed 1,400 rifle ranges out of 2,000 that were operating in the year 2000....The Finnish military expects a great many of its 900,000 reservists to be able to accomplish many of the same feats as Simo Häyh.

Seems like a big disconnect there!

In a small country with a relatively homogenous population they can turn it around quickly. There is a core gun culture in Finland, google “Finnish Brutality” for their hard core three gun and action matches.

Finland 5.5 million and thinks it can put together a 900,000 man army?

I think you missed the part about Finland building more ranges.

(Hint, it’s in the title.)

Lots more use at the existing ranges too, says the article.
