Abstract

"Hornussen" is an old and typical Swiss national game which has its roots in

Medieval war games. Today it is becoming more and more a serious sports

game using high-tech materials. The basic idea is simple: the players of one

team strike a projectile one by one. The players of the other team occupy a well

defined field and must try to catch the projectile before it hits the ground. A se-

cond round is played in which both teams swap their place.

From the ballistics point of view, "Hornussen" implies some nice special topics

and it is possible to find links to almost all ballistics disciplines.
