The Germans were some of the first to start using Jager rifles in Europe back in the 1400s.
In the USA, German “Schützenfests” were common until WWI when everything German suddenly became bad.

Probably due to massive Wilsonian progressive propaganda.

Any comments, PA?

Schutzenfest? Sounds like fun!

Where can I get an invite?

:)

(I am curious about what festivities such an event would occasion, besides the obvious. Beer, wurst, trap, skeet, pop ups?)
