Shooting club gift: one book for the festival and the anniversary
Looking for shooting club gifts that everyone writes in? In the Flashbook, every member of your shooting club (Schützenverein) gets their own double-page spread with two photos and their own answers, from the youth section to the honorary members. The book works just as well for a rural youth group (Landjugend) or a young men's association (Burschenverein). One book costs €24.90 including design, printing and shipping, €22.90 with 3 or more groups in one order and €19.90 with 5 or more.
The book, the questionnaire and our WhatsApp support are in German. Other languages and shipping to other countries on request.
What goes into the book for the shooting club?
Every member gets a double-page spread with two photos, for example one in uniform or traditional dress from the parade and one from everyday life. Then come their name, signature and four short details with icons. Typical questions:
- What was your best shot?
- Which Schützenfest (the club's annual festival) was your best?
- What do you think about just before you shoot?
- What advice would you give the youth section?
The pages for the whole club
For the cover, all the photos are cut out and arranged into one shared cover image, if you like in front of your clubhouse. Inside, you also get:
- the group photo, for example from the parade
- awards such as “Steadiest hand on the range” or “Always first on the dance floor”
- a double-page spread for special moments, such as the crowning of the new royal couple
- two double-page spreads for signatures and messages
- at least 4 blank double-page spreads to write in
- sponsor pages on request
The book is a landscape A5 hardcover on 170 g/m² paper that you can write on with a ballpoint pen.
Shooting club gifts for the royal year, the anniversary and a farewell
The book is a shared book: everyone in it can get a copy, the minimum order is 10 books, and for anything else just ask in your enquiry.
Schützenfest and royal year. In many clubs, the king's shoot (Königsschießen) decides who reigns for the next year. Depending on the club, that is a king, a queen or a royal couple, plus a youth king or youth queen. At the end of the royal year (Königsjahr), the book is a reminder of that year. If it is meant as a gift for the royal couple at the Schützenfest, one of the long questions becomes a greeting to the two of them.
A club anniversary gift. For the anniversary, the book shows everyone who is in the club today, alongside the commemorative booklet. Ideas for the whole anniversary year are in our club anniversary ideas.
Leaving the committee. If someone hands over the chair after many years, whether the role is called Schützenmeister or chair in your club, one of the long questions becomes a thank-you.
Youth section: a book of its own for the next generation
The youth section (Schützenjugend) can get a book of its own, for example when young members move up to the adults or the youth leader steps down. Instead of some of the questions for adults, it includes “How I came to the youth section”, “My best competition” and “What I still want to achieve in the club”. For children, the parents fill in the questionnaire, while teenagers answer their questions themselves. Find out more under children's photos and data protection.
Landjugend: one book for the whole local group
In a Landjugend, the rural youth group, young people from the village get together, depending on the region with the maypole, the harvest festival, balls, amateur theatre or trips together. The book suits the moment the committee hands over, the local group celebrates an anniversary or someone stops after many years. Instead of the shooting questions, the book then includes questions like these:
- What is your job at the maypole?
- Which ball has been the best so far?
- What will you take with you from the Landjugend?
One award is then called “Organises every party”, and “Landjugend” goes on the cover.
Burschenverein: maypole watch and parish fair in the book
What a Burschenverein, a young men's association, does varies by region: in some places it puts up the maypole and guards it, hosts the Kirchweih (parish fair) or leads the parade. The book suits a club anniversary, the handover of the committee or the moment members stop after many years. Typical questions:
- What was your night on maypole watch like?
- Which Kirchweih has been the best so far?
- What advice would you give new members of the club?
One award is then called “Most watchful maypole guard”. You add your own local terms when you enquire.
How the book comes together for your club
- Enquiring takes 2 minutes. You then get the link via WhatsApp.
- You share the link in the club's WhatsApp group. Every member answers the questions on their phone in about 5 minutes and uploads two photos. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays you get a WhatsApp update showing who is still missing.
- Once all the answers are in and all the books are paid for, we design and print. The books reach you 5 to 7 working days later.
How much does the book for the shooting club cost?
The price is per book, and design, printing and shipping to Germany and Austria are always included.
- 1 to 2 groups
- €24.90
- from 3 groups
- €22.90
- from 5 groups
- €19.90
The book holds 8 to 42 people. The minimum order is 10 books, but not every member has to buy one. Everyone pays for themselves via a payment link, or one person pays for all by invoice within 14 days. Because every book is designed individually, orders cannot be cancelled once placed.
Frequently asked questions about the gift for your shooting club
When do we need to start so that the book arrives in time for the Schützenfest?
Work backwards: printing starts once everyone has answered and paid, and after that it takes 5 to 7 working days. So start early and allow time for latecomers.
What do members write to the king or queen?
That is up to you. One of the long questions becomes, for example, “What I wish for the royal year”, and the rest stays a page about the member themselves.
Can honorary members be in the book too?
Yes, with a double-page spread of their own, as long as the book has 8 to 42 people. Otherwise they write on the blank spreads.
Does this also work for a club in Austria?
Yes, shipping to Austria is included in the price. The book, the questionnaire and the support are in German.
