The St. Michael Brotherhood Oesbern is set to host its annual Shooting Festival, a traditional community event in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, with the highly anticipated bird shooting event scheduled for Monday at 11:30 AM.
This year's festival promises an exciting competition for both junior shooters and members, as the purpose of the event is to determine the new Shooting King and Queen pair. The proclamation of the new king and queen is a significant part of the bird shooting event, symbolising local honour and leadership within the brotherhood and community for the coming year.
The festival serves as a social and cultural celebration that strengthens community bonds, preserves tradition, and highlights marksmanship skills. In the bird shooting event, participants shoot at a wooden bird figure mounted on a pole, with the last person to successfully shoot down the figure being crowned the Shooting King or Queen.
The event will follow a clear structure, with separate competitions for junior shooters and members. The junior shooters' competition will commence first, with the members' competition following later in the day, where they will shoot at a wooden eagle. The new king and queen pair will be proclaimed around 6 PM.
