I'm certainly not an expert on this, but here's my 2 cents. Schuetzen rifles are highly specialized traditional target rifles. Google it - you can buy one today for a lot of money. Our club holds an annual Schuetzenfest with traditional German events. We shoot .22 standard target rifles and sporting rifles (open sights only) for score at 50 yards. We shoot Scheiben - traditional round wooden targets with a hunting scene. Ten people each get one shot offhand at 25; closest to the bull wins the Scheiben. We have Fogelschiessen - a stylized bird with various appendages. Round robin offhand at 25 to shoot off the crown, wings, etc. A prize for each piece removed. I don't know how your local club does it, and I'm not sure if there is a sanctioning organization. We do get our 50 yard (OK, meter) targets from Germany, and they differ from NRA targets. No x-ring and the tiniest 10-ring you ever saw.
