Re: [MBZ] OT:Schützenfest
Like any social gathering in Wisconsin, I’m sure there was a fair amount of alcohol consumption involved. Might ot have had any feathered hats, but I’ll bet there was just as much (or more) booze.

Unlike the US, suppressors are big in Europe.

Re: [MBZ] OT:Schützenfest
We called them "Turkey Shoots" in Wisconsin, didn't raise them to quite the same art form / celebration. Once when I was involved in a joint operation, on base there was a platoon from some European country with feathered hats very similar to those on the pictures. We found them quite amusing, now I'll bet those hats are related somehow to this Schützenfest. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 On July 2, 2015 11:22:26 AM EDT, Mitch Haley via Mercedes wrote: >http://www.dw.com/en/beginners-guide-to-germanys-shooting-festivals/g-18546949 > >___ >http://www.okiebenz.com > >To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > >To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: >http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
