The shooting club Moosrösl Wörth has inaugurated its electronic shooting range.

Wörth

– With a delay of two years due to the pandemic, the Wörther Moosrösl riflemen presented their new shooting range to the public.

An extensive program attracted many visitors.

The Moosrösler had already decided to set up an electronic shooting range in 2019.

In cooperation with VR-Bank Erding, the association used crowdfunding to finance the event, which brought 10,000 euros into the coffers.

With further support from the municipality, district and Bavarian Sportschützenbund, the required 30,000 euros could be raised.

When the renovation work was able to start in 2020, the pandemic made club life and thus the necessary community services impossible.

So the work was planned in a corona-compliant manner and gradually implemented.

The conversion was only possible thanks to the great commitment of the members, who turned old into new with countless hours of work and a great deal of expertise and expertise.

The result of these efforts has now been presented in a lovingly designed opening ceremony.

For this purpose, a beer garden was created from the building yard area, a hall served as a service street, and a lectern was set up in front of the gates decorated with club flags.

R. Georg Galinski, himself closely associated with the marksmen's tradition of his former place of work in Marktschellenberg, opened the festive day in a contemplative manner, but with a wink.

Deacon Willibald Greinsberger (Obergeislbach) blessed the shooting range.

Mayor Thomas Gneißl had the honor of the first shot.

His divisor of 434.9 (9.2) was the benchmark for the afternoon's citizen shooting.

Friendly shooting clubs from Hörlkofen, Ottenhofen and Schwillach as well as a delegation from the shooting club Kirchbichl from Tyrol, with whom the Moosrösler have been friends for over 30 years, also came to the festival.

Only the Wörthers themselves were rather sparsely represented, which was perceived as a small drop of bitterness.

Gneißl called the inauguration of the shooting range a "milestone in the history of the club", which combines tradition and modernity and also gives the youth work the necessary support.

At the same time, the facility guarantees significantly better competition conditions.

He called the Schützenheim a "model retreat".

At the end of his speech, Gneißl handed over a disc, donated by the community, to Thomas Mairoth, which will be placed in the clubhouse to commemorate the inauguration day.

Gauschützenmeister Klaus Waldherr looked back on the almost idle club life of the past two years.

It is all the more important and nicer to enjoy and appreciate socializing and camaraderie.

Waldherr presented a Gaukrug with a pewter lid.

The baptism of fire for the new facility will be the Gaupreisshooting planned for autumn

Section marksman champion Erich Bottisch summed it up: The baptism of fire for the new facility will be the Gaupreisshooting planned for autumn, which is eagerly awaited by all clubs in Schützengau Erding.

Moosrösl boss Mairoth recapitulated the highs and lows of the conversion, from planning to financing to acceptance.

All of this was only possible thanks to the great commitment and high level of personal contribution of the members.

Therefore, it was decided to honor the most hard-working helpers within the association and to design a special badge of merit, which is accompanied by a certificate (report follows).

Günther Rothleitner from the Schützengilde Kirchbichl recalled the lively exchange and the numerous mutual visits over the past three decades and expressed his confidence that the meetings of the two clubs can again take place annually.

There was a colorful bouquet of flowers for Silvia Mairoth, and Thomas Mairoth received a glass wheat beer glass trophy with an engraving for the Schützenheim.

At the citizen shooting in the afternoon, those interested could feel with their own index finger how sensitively the weapons react to touch and how quickly the result is not only shown on the display in the form of a yellow circle on the digital target, but also shown to the right as a divider.

At the end of the citizens' shooting, the three shooters who came closest to the divider specified by Gneißl were considered.

The first prize, the proceeds from the citizens' shooting, went to section marksman Bottisch.

Thomas Sölch secured the second prize, a voucher from the Schauer bakery, and Fabienne Gratt took the third prize, a snack basket from the Huber butcher's shop, to Kirchbichl in Tyrol.

It was a successful day for the Wörther Schützen, which made it clear that an active and varied club life is an important social pillar of every community, especially in the digital age.
