insights into the German championship in the Target Sprint in Sandkrug

The upcoming German championship in the Target Sprint promises to become an exciting weekend in Sandkrug. This event not only brings exciting competitions, but also significant changes for the local community.

forest closures and safety measures

The event means that during the competition, several forest areas, especially an area to the left of the "Oldenburger Weg" between "Schuldredde" and "Marderweg", are closed to the public. These closures begin on Friday, August 2, from 12.30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. The restrictions also apply on Saturday, August 3, from 8.30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sunday, August 4, from 8 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. Nicky Stötzer, the overall sports director of the Sandkrug shooting club, has announced these measures to ensure the safety of athletes and spectators.

The competition: endurance and precision combined

The Target Sprint is an innovative discipline in the area of summer biathlon, which has been officially organized by the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) since 2017. Here, the participants have to complete a 400-meter route three times and carry out a standing shooting with compressed air weapons between the rounds. The destinations are just 3.5 cm tall and are ten meters away. Each athlete has the opportunity to hit five destinations per round and can hand in up to 15 shots. For each missed target, a time penalty of 15 seconds is imposed in the "Penalty Box". The competition therefore requires both physical endurance and high precision.

An important step for the shooting club Sandkrug

With the orientation of the German championship in this discipline, the shooting club Sandkrug takes an important step towards promoting the target sprint in Germany. This event not only offers a competition for the athletes, but also an opportunity to increase the public interest in this sport. The first -class organization and the measures to ensure security are just as important as the sporting competition itself.

conclusion: Community and sport in harmony

The German championship in the Target Sprint in Sandkrug has the prospect of bringing the local community together while offering athletes the opportunity to show their skills. Despite the temporary forest restrictions, the event should boost interest in a relatively new sport and maybe even inspire future talents.
