Shooting Club Road is off of Sisterdale Road on the Northside of Boerne that runs behind the Ebensberger-Fisher Funeral Home, and ends on Pfeiffer.  The story of the oldest Shooting Club in Texas right after this.

In 1864, a group of German settlers formed the Boerne Schuetzen Verein. The first rifle range was on property owned by William Kuhfuss on North Main Street. The range moved to a pasture behind the Phillip Manor House on South Main.  Charter Members included Kuhfuss, Phillip, and E.A.F. Toepperwein.

Other members a generation later include Karl and Joe Dienger, Helwig Zoeller, and Adolf Luckenbach. 

A couple of changes in the 20th century, the Boerne Schuetzen Verein moved again in 1913 to the present-day Shooting Club Road…and in 1934 they changed the name of their club into English…. Boerne Shooting Club. It’s rumored that A.G. Vogt then coined the phrase “Boerne Gone Forever”.
