The Schützen Club is a subgroup of Kolping society members that meets monthly on the third Friday of the month from September through May. . Teams shoot 22 caliber rifle with iron sites at an indoor range with targets 50 feet away.
Each team consists of five Kolping members and teams may have substitutes to shoot for an absent team member.
The goal for each team member is to shoot the highest score of the night to be eligible for an award at the end of the year. The scores range from a minimum of 59 to a perfect score of 72. To achieve a perfect score, a member must put six out of eight bullets in the bullseye.
The Shooting Club starts with makeup shooting that begins at 7:00 P.M. and goes until 7:30 P.M. Competition starts at 7:30 P.M. and goes until all teams have shot.
