A look at the shooting festivals

The deeply rooted tradition of the rifle festivals in Germany goes back to the Middle Ages, as shooters played a decisive role in the security of the communities. Rifle festivals are not only popular in Germany, but also in countries such as Switzerland, Australia, the USA, Brazil and Namibia. They are known for their diverse programs, which range from festive moves to a betting shooting to the crowning glory of a new rifle king.

These events usually take place in summer or late spring and often offer numerous attractions, such as carousels and marqueezes that strengthen the sense of community. The future of the shooting clubs looks positive because the number of members continuously increases what speaks for the continuation of this important tradition.
