Lega-Schießen (League Shooting)
Typically held twice a month, outdoors in the warmer months and indoors in the colder months. This is a casual shooting league to allow members to improve their target shooting for sitting, half-rest and standing. Handicaps are used to divide members for spirited team competitions.
Pokalschießen (Trophy Shooting)
This is a multi-day competition over several months. The Winterpokal is held indoors between January and March, and the Sommerpokal is held outdoors between June & September. Marksmen shoot four targets each from sitting, half-rest and standing position over the course of three to four competition days. The top three targets from each position are used to calculate each marksman’s score to determine the winner for each Trophy shooting competition.
Preisschießen (Prize Shooting)
Typically held before our monthly meetings, this is a prize competition for the highest scoring marksman of the day.
Schützenfest (Marksmanship Festival)
Schützenfest, or the Marksmen’s Festival, is a traditional celebration featuring a shooting competition where the members compete by shooting at a wooden eagle, and the winner is crowned the Schützenkönig (King of the Marksmen) for the year. This is the club’s premier festival held on the last Sunday of July . This event is open to the public to watch as the membership shoots for their King.
