So what’s it like to join a German marksmen’s club for the world’s biggest shooting festival taking place in Hanover, Germany? Our reporter Brant Dennis went there to find out.

As a fellow Aussie you have to somehow admire how the Germans can mix drinking with so many activities and it not turn into a complete riot - they have a very mature relationship with alcohol that I think other countries can learn from.
Absolutely 👍🏼 While not totally immune from drunken boofheadedness, it’s considered VERY bad form. FAR worse than in Australian or US culture.
The lady didn't explain that "Fein-Korn" very well.
"Kimme und Korn" means a notch and bead sighter iron sight. "Fein" in this case would mean precise or accurate.
Doesn't hurt that "Korn" is also a word for strong spirits made from cereals.
Was about to say that. I suppose it was due a lack of English skills or just beeing nervous.
In German she would have likely be able to explain the tounge in cheek of the chant.
@it’s rather the English skills because she’s definitely not nervous
As an American, it's pretty shocking to see an adult man cover his ears for a bb gun😂
Ha ha ha. That's a good one
That’s not an BB gun
@dynamiteboss5434 oh, really? I've shot air rifles since I was about 6 or 7 and I can assure you that air rifles shoot pellets, also called bb's. You should probably do some research before commenting. She even says, "the air rifle cannot kill you, but it will hurt".
@@tyi6566 well ok maybe but in Germany I can assure you that it’s not a BB gun so I’m sorry I just thought of it and my words were pretty dum since I don’t really now what you call sth. in a different language, my fault. Btw I’m shooting air rifles too since I’m 11,12 ish since that’s the legal age in germany
When an Aussie can't keep up drinking, that is some serious drinking.
😅
Somehow I have this feeling, that the most important part of Schützenfest missed. Sadly I don't know which part
possibly, that especially in the countryside it is very regionally divided. Every small village has its own shooting club and its own shooting festival. It's a festival where the whole village comes together and you know everyone. The local stores are also closed because everyone is celebrating. This aspect is somewhat lost, at least in Hanover.
At least in the northwest with us it's like that.

My shooting club was there, too.
4:09 the guy with the flag looks really sus 🥸
its nice and sure its tough, but seems to have more in common with kyudo zen archery in japan then actual shooting, seems to have a rich tradition and comradery but if I am going to shoot give me my good shotgun and point me to the range and lets make a wager, something I can hunt with, or we shot arrows 5 arrows 5 rounds, or we do 3d targets just like one would hunt non this fancy wrist brace fancy visors and counterweight that looks like a toilet plunger on the end of the bow. but thats me.
I'm happy to have my Sig Sauer P226 (German) for home defense, and I became very proficient with the Heckler & Koch MP5 (German) when I was in the military. I would love to own a Walther P22 (German) for sport shooting.
Спасибо за трофеи))) С каждого первого снимаем вашу технику и оружие
How can I take a break from what the Germans do?!
😁
Guns and drinking: How Germans celebrate this old shooting tradition 1403pm 8.7.23 i thought: a visual effin stockhausen and the rock band drunks with guns... the comingling of drunks and guns sounds amusing but, no doubt, isn't...
You guys know what’s funny? My backyard is in that video
Dude its an air rifle 🤣 so Australia is even wimpier than Canadians and that is saying A LOT ... consider yourself defeated should anyone choose to invade. Love the fact Germans are keeping their traditions strong against the tides who would wish they would end or change.
I guess Germany is not so different from American than I thought.
Haha 😅

I'm from Germany, and I see the tradition of the Schützenfest as completely unnecessary, alcohol is drunk wherever possible. That only does harm instead of benefit, I'm in the voluntary fire brigade, there are also events where alcohol is drunk and I condemned that too deeply, alcohol is a danger to everyone's health and will never be anything else. it helps in some situations (fuel ethanol, or as a disinfectant but definitely not as a drink! . In my opinion, the alcohol is not seen as a danger and only very few point out the danger or ban the liquid poison completely. It has to be completely be banned , forever as food , or at least restricted in the most extreme way like other drugs , it 's nothing more than a life - destroying drug .
schützenfest isn't entirely drinking, drinking is mostly just a old people community thing

Not really, when seeing the youngsters doing their "Erntedankfest parades", they get completely
p🍻ssed ...
As a German, I agree that any activity outside of work is dangerous to oneself and those around you. Joy from work is all that matters.
Du bist sicher der ganz lustige auf partys
@@dynamiteboss5434 ich gehe noch weiter, bin gar nicht Erst auf solchen Festen. Nur wenn ich beim absperren eingeteilt bin. Und wenn man mich aufgrund der Hilfe beim absperren eingeladen hat. Nur dennoch verteufel ich das betrinken. Daher spaß ist da für mich kein bisschen.
The US can learn much from German history regarding guns and their regulation.
(:
We don't need to know nuttem. We need our freedom
LOL
This guy is not very watchable
