	A very good reason to end all wars. As the human race, we have learned little, and at great cost to our fellow mankind.

Mom said all the boys in town said he could hit a buck on the run at 100 yards in the dark. They would recount his shooting ability standing around Saturday night dances.

	Pictured are shooters and their families at a Schuetzenfest in August 1908. In the background is the target house that faced south to pick up the best natural light. It was dug into the hillside and lined with a rock and mortar foundation to protect the twelve young boys who marked the targets. It was not uncommon for shots to fall short of the target house and so the roof was full of holes from shots that went too high. A wheel of Swiss cheese and a barrel of beer from the local brewery were always available for the shooters and their families. For lunch the boys were given Swiss cheese sandwiches, and when the target boys got thirsty they would shout, "Beer, beer!" The beer was delivered to them in a gallon pail for all to share. Nordean Hoesly was one of the target boys.

Nordean Hoesly was one of the target boys. Wondering about possible ties to New Glarus. My wife’s great grandfather shot there along with some other relatives. Breylinger, Johantgen, maybe a Humiston. She and her father would be interested in any info or photos. A cup won by her 2great grandfather was discussed here a few years ago. But wondering if anything else might have turned up? (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)
