Competitive shooting of the three Franconian shooting districts
The FrankenCup brings together the three Franconian shooting districts — Middle Franconia, Upper Franconia, and Lower Franconia — for a sporting competition. The competition is organized under the auspices of the Middle Franconian Shooting Association (BSSB-MSB), a district of the Bavarian Shooting Association. It is a team and individual comparison of the highest-performing active members from the three districts.
The host for 2026 is the Ickelheim 1889 Shooting Club (Schützenverein 1889 Ickelheim e.V.) with its shooting range at Sontheimer Straße 7 in Bad Windsheim, a town in the district of Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim in the state of Bavaria. The region is deeply rooted in Franconian shooting traditions; numerous clubs here maintain centuries-old customs.
Sport shooting holds a high status in Franconia. Clubs, district associations, and regional federations organize a dense network of championships, league competitions, and cup events. Within this framework, the FrankenCup is the central inter-district competition and thus a sporting flagship of Franconian shooting.
The focus is on fair performance comparison in the Olympic and non-Olympic disciplines of sport shooting. The FrankenCup combines sporting ambition with the convivial club life that characterizes the shooting movement in Bavaria.
The 2026 edition will be held on Saturday, June 20th, at the Ickelheim 1889 Shooting Club (Schützenverein 1889 Ickelheim e.V.) (Sontheimer Straße 7, 91438 Bad Windsheim). This is the inter-district competitive shooting event for the districts of Middle Franconia, Upper Franconia, and Lower Franconia, organized by the Middle Franconian Shooting Association (BSSB-MSB). The focus is on the fair sporting performance comparison of the best active participants from the three Franconian districts.
Detailed discipline and schedule information will be published by the Middle Franconian Shooting Association on bssb-msb.de.
