After the warm-up, the rules must be explained...

...than it is full concentration.

I try the axe.

The secretaries note the scores. In difficult situations, the main-referee has the last word.

The scores are hacked into the computer after each round.

Before Christian Prestin can hand out the trophies in the knife short men event, an "ordeal" is necessary because of equal scores: Who of the both can stick his knife into the target that is in the height of 4,5m?

Franz and Wolfgang try hard, Franz has luck!

The helpers are happy that this target is not used regularly! Paco stuck his new throwing knives from a distance of 10m.

This year, there was an extra women event with knives. Franz is examining the bayonet that Melanie throws.

There was also a children or better "under 18" scoring. But the dogs will have to wait a while for their event.

Many thanks to the press photographer Johann Müller from Döbberin for the pictures marked with M.
There is even more, see our merry collage.
