Black Forest, Schwartzwald, Germany

[Dom]

Well, the competition shooting year is starting, wishing all those who participate straight shooting and enjoy the camaraderie.

Deep in the Black Forest is a shooting range called Jaegerloch, which means literally Hunters Hole. The German Hunting Association rules apply, a standard shoot is Trap & Skeet with low gun, 100 meter rifle targets at Reh, Fox, Boar, and 50 meter running boar target. A well rounded shooter you must be, good scores are required in all areas to score well. Thought I'd share some photos with you all, Waidmannsheil, Dom.

On the way to the Shoot, Black Forest:


Shooting some Trap:


100 Meter rifle, boar freehand, fox prone unsupported, buck from a pole:



Also shot 50 meter running boar but don't have any photos of that.

After the shoot is the awards, medals and prizes, ceremony. I shot well, not exceptional, and took Silver in the Gold Class:



The horn blowers were good, and opened and closed the ceremony. Thot you's might get a kick out of them.


Our Team score was also good for Silver:


And the drive home ends another great day and fun shoot, which sharpens our shooting abilities on the hunt.
