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.)
