One of the new Student Life events we piloted this semester was rifle target shooting in the neighboring town of Scheibbs.
A small core group of 10 of us went but had enough fun for the whole group.
When we arrived, the managers were proud to tell us that their shooting guild was relatively young, only about 500 years old!
We were supposed to have 3 rounds + 1 special round in an Austrian front muzzle loader; however, they managers were so friendly toward the group that they allowed us to have extra rounds and extra shots. They even served us coffee and “kuchen” (cake) on the house.
Everybody said that the most fun was the special gun: the Austria front loader powder muzzle loader. It was a .45 caliber with some real kick, but not too much. It was an all around sensory experience: After pulling the trigger and feeling the kick, one could smell the gunsmoke and powder and see the small flame of fire out of the front of the gun.
Enjoy the short video and pictures from the event:
