In the picturesque village of Luttenberg, where time seems to stand still and the community is close-knit, there is a special place: Schietsportvereniging De Schoenmaker. This association, named after the café-brasserie of the same name, is a place where tradition and sportsmanship go hand in hand.
Shooting club De Schoenmaker is more than just a place to shoot; it is a meeting place for young and old, where friendships are forged and skills are honed. The club has a modern shooting cellar with seven automatic ranges, where members can improve their precision and concentration.
Every week, members come together to train and compete in competitions. The atmosphere is always friendly and supportive, with experienced shooters guiding and encouraging the beginners. The sound of shots echoes through the cellar, but it is the camaraderie that really stands out. Here, the competition is not only for points, but also for the pleasure of being together.
The club regularly organises events, such as tournaments and open days, where non-members are also welcome to get acquainted with shooting. These days are always a great success, with a lot of interest from the local population and surrounding villages. It is an opportunity to promote the sport and recruit new members.
One of the highlights of the year is the annual club championship, where the best shooters compete for the coveted title. The tension is always palpable, but the joy and pride that the winners radiate makes it all worthwhile. Afterwards, there is often a long chat in the café-brasserie, while enjoying a snack and a drink.
Schietsportvereniging De Schoenmaker is a beacon of tradition and sportsmanship in Luttenberg. It is a place where people come together, not only to shoot, but also to be part of a close-knit community.
