MORE INFO
OUR MISSION
The Mission of the Germania Society shall be to maintain and perpetuate German Heritage in the Greater Cincinnati region. Our purpose will be to uphold the customs and traditions of Germany.
QUICK LINKS
The Germania Schützenverein was started in 2006 as a traditional German marksmanship club.
We use .177 caliber air rifles and pistols inside the klubhaus, shooting at a 10 meter range at stationary targets that use a specially designed backstop. The klub has five Anschütz air rifles and two Steyr pistols for members to use. We use an Orion scoring system, and there is no equipment to buy. There are several annual awards for shooting the disciplines, and annually, we host our Royal shoot to determine our King and Queen.
We have 3 different year-long competitions:
- Offhand
- Rest (for participants over 55)
- Pistol
We travel and compete against the following Schützenverein clubs throughout the year:
Outside of the club, we participate in sporting clays and many German cultural events.
