German-American Marksmanship Club About the DASV We hold monthly meetings, offering marksmanship competitions and home cooked meals. We are also a Michigan United Conservation Clubs affiliate.

Since 1939, the German-American Marksmanship Club, or DASV, has been a staple of the German community in Metro Detroit providing a social outlet for German-Americans and those looking to preserve German heritage.The DASV maintains age old German traditions, holding an annual Schützenfest where a Schützenkönig is crowned, a Schlachtfest (old German recipe dinner) and an authentic Oktoberfest. Our c

lub is centered around German culture, camaraderie and marksmanship. The DASV is affiliated with the German American Cultural Center and the National Rifle Association. Membership to the DASV is $85 per year for an entire family. This gives you the ability to shoot on our range in our competitions and to purchase alcohol in our club.

The 2025 DASV „Maikranz“ is brought to rest as the cold dark months approach… We look forward to the return of Spring when we will once again rededicate our Maibaum/Maypole.

The season turns and the club’s focus shifts to the coming Winter. A season filled with holiday celebrations, shooting competitions on the indoor range, fellowship and feelings of Gemütlichkeit in our beloved Schützenhaus…

This past Saturday, many of us gathered to close the circle created with the dedication of our Maypole/Maibaum the previous Springtide. The „Kranz“ was removed from the crown of the „tree,“ and —solemnly accompanied by torchlight— marched to the bonfire for “retirement.” As always, this, as with most of our activities, was marked with good food, good drink, and fellowship. We celebrate a successful 2025, and anticipate a fruitful and joyous 2026.

As always, membership information can be found at our website, www.dasv.org, if any of our activities sound appealing to you. Gut Schuß!

This past weekend marked another successful Oktoberfest at the DASV! Hard work on the part of our membership set the stage for a fantastic night under the lights of the tents, welcoming guests from across the region. Special thanks to our entertainment for the evening — the dancers of the Carpathia Club, DJ Glockenspiel, and -as always- Tommy Schober and the sounds of The Sorgenbrecher Band!

Beautiful evening for a gathering of marksmen at the Schützenpark for the inaugural meeting of a brand new summer league/Sommerliga.

Schützenfest —the focal point of our year here at the DASV— is right around the corner. What are you, dear friends, most looking forward to?

1. The parade of the Schützen.

2 The Vogelschießen, the actual shooting competition of the marksmen to determine the next year’s royal Court.

3. The Gulasch, Kartoffelsalat, Bratwürste (and more) served up from Christine’s kitchen.

4. The refreshing cool “beverages” offered up by our dedicated bar staff.

Perhaps you most enjoy trying your own luck/skills on the range at the „Schießbude,“ or simply a pleasant afternoon with family and friends in our always inviting „Schützenwald .“
