	I am planning a trip to Germany next September, would like to know if it is possible to see the original Schueztenlisl artwork or visit a Schuetzenfest. Can anyone help me out? Vielen Dank! Joe S

	Biggi might be able to help with event schedules. Contact Bill Loos and or Tom Rowe. For the 3 vol set of euro-schutzen books they visited a MAJOR museum collection that had a large part of the historical material. You may need to make advanced arrangements to view that collection

	Joe, Where in Germany are you going and for how long? I have some contacts in the Stuttgart and Munich areas. SS

	If your rifle is not in 7.62 and you can't hit what you are aiming at with de-linked machinegun ammo you are a pretender.

	So far our itinerary is open but we plan to spend most of our time in the Munich area. Joe S

	Joe_S If you read German, this site will tell you a lot about schuetzen matches in Germany and Austria: (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Also, contact Biggi, she is a regular contributor on this site concerning German schuetzen stuff.

	Biggi would be a good place to start. Also plan on buying a shooting wardrobe they won't let you shoot in bibs and a ballcap. 40 Rod

	I shot several matches in Baden-Wuerttemberg wearing jeans, button down shirt, Levi Jacket and cowboy boots. I was shooting either a Rolling block or a C. Sharps in 45-70 so they considered me to be properly attired. Usually shot in upper 1/3. I was using 500gr bullets over full BP charges. The others on the line with me using their 8.15s were usually distracted with the smoke and roar.... SS
