    Olympic 1936 Tinnie - Adlerschiessen - (Eagle Target Shooting)


    Recommended Posts

    Couple of weeks ago picked up this Large (3.5cm x 5.3cm) metal tinnie connected with 1936 Olympic Adlerschiessen. At the time I was at a loss as to what exactly Adlerschiessen was ? Spoke today to a friend, a hobby shooter - apparently there's a shooting disciple in Germany using a rifle and small calibre bullets 4,5mm - shooting at (instead of a round target) a spread black eagle target trying to shoot the wings or legs off the target (included is a picture). I ask members have they seen this tinnie before or know anything about this Olympic discipline ? any relevant info welcome.

    It might be a regional shooting tinnie. I also own some medals which have a relation to the olympic games.
