600 years of Brüel Riflemen’s Guild: tradition meets youth sport!
The Brüeler Schützenguild, one of the oldest in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, was founded in 1425 and is a living example of the long traditions of shooting.

Shooting in a wide variety of disciplines is the heart of the club. Whether with an air rifle, air pistol, small caliber or large caliber shooting, even archery and crossbow shooting is part of the offer. The members also enjoy trap and clay pigeon shooting. Children aged 8 and over can gain their first experience with the air rifle or bow; From the age of 14 you have the opportunity to take part in small-caliber shooting. And the big ones? From the age of 18 or 21 you can start using the large caliber!
Community and tradition
The Brüeler Schützenguild attaches great importance to youth work. Training is scheduled for the 14 to 15 young people once a week, while the competitive shooters are on the shooting range two to four times a week.

But it's not just shooting that creates sociability. The guild organizes various community events such as bowling evenings, skat rounds and excursions to keep club life alive. Traditions such as the royal shooting and cannon shooting are firmly anchored and create unforgettable moments in the annual club life.
