UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons Hunting, Forestry, and Shooting Forum Das Alte Schutzenscheibe (The old Shooting Target)

On 02/14/2006 "Doug" posted his target on this Hunting, Forestry, and Shooting Forum, page 16, with a great description:

"I just got this great looking 1942 Named Rifle Shooting Stag Target Plate. The painting is a color print on heavy duty paper that is glued to a 1/4-inch-thick plywood plate that measures 18 inches across. There are five holes in it made by the bullets from the guys shooting at the stag --none hit the stag! The holes are larger on the backside and the shooters name is noted in pencil next to the hole so it could be painted in the front later in a nicer fashion. Hope you like the rather nice print. Bernd."

Wetzel,

Sorry I didn't catch that but yes that's correct and you will find this on a lot of targets.

I found that JoeW posted two (1940 & 1939) German Police targets, 03/11/2006 on the thread "Shooting Awards / Prizes (Non Tyrol)" found on page 8. These are some very nice targets posted by JoeW.

Mikee, I did finally find a post WW Schutzenscheibe listed on the German eBay site with a tiny nail used to secure the small bullseye to the target. I also found a 2018 target with white pegs to mark the bullet holes and a red peg used to mark the winning "Kill Shot". All the pegs had the shooter's numbers on the peg heads.

Hi Wetzel,

I remember when Joe posted those targets. He is missed by all of us! Thank you, yes I have seen so many different ways that was used to mark and identify the winners and shooters. If I can get some time I will post some mare targets. Best!

I really like this 1936 target: "PAINTED TARGET FROM THE SCHÜTZEN MUSEUM COLLECTION". This is from the 1st web site link I posted on page 1.

A target such as this 1936 painted target from the year of the Olympics with 5 rings would probably command a high price.

Wetzel,

It's a very nice one that's for sure but It's even better in person!

Here's another. Hope you like it!. Best!

I do like that target Mikee. The (1931) target format seems to be of a Hawk (or Eagle) killing a Rabbit, Weimar period (1919-1932), CIVILIAN type and target format of PRINTED PAPER.

While researching MARIA-SCHEIBE I found another (1929) target, Weimar period (1919-1932), CIVILIAN type, target format of a Hawk (or Eagle) killing a Rabbit on PRINTED PAPER.

Mikee, have you done any research on your 1931 target?

Hey Wetzel, I have not researched the names no.

A search on Ancestry.com for Fritz Corell of Germany, born about 1900 (+ or - 10 years) found this record:

Fritz Corell
Kutcher/Caporusso Family Tree
Matching Person details
Spouse Katharina Sauer
Father Eduard Corell
Mother UNKNOWN UNKNOWN
Children Karl
Birth 27 Jan 1890 Niederaula, Hersfeld-Rotenburg, Hesse, Germany
Death 8 Feb 1968 Niederaula, Hersfeld-Rotenburg, Hesse, Germany

C. Wetzel notes: this 1 record may or may not be a match. However, Fritz Corell born 1890, would have been about the right age to be mentioned in a 1931 shooting match.

Wetzel,

That's very kind of you to look up the name and I very much appreciate it.

Another nice Target from 1922
