The origin of the marksmen´s clubs in Germany goes back to the civil defense in the Middle Ages. Their motto "For Faith, Custom and Home" is still written on their flags today. Every year they hold the "Schützenfest", an annual festival, which lasts three days and consists of a church procession, marches through the village and a shooting competition on a wooden bird to elect the annual King.
