Hello,
First off I'm an Army Brat and I was in Germany till 1987. I don't know if I saw the show on tv there or after coming state side but is has been a long while. There was a competition where people would hit targets across a body of water and hit a target. You would think in this age of technology you could find anything but all I have found are stories like mine where they remember seeing it, one of those being on this forum. The few posts I could find said it was either German or Swiss. There are plenty of "Schützenfest" sites out there but I see nothing in regards to this. I am assuming that "ricochet" and "bouncing" bullets off of water searches aren't coming up with nothing because there must be an official name for this competition besides crazy.
Anyway, someone out there has to know what\where\when this happened since I'm not the only one that remembers this.
Thanks,
Kai
