Franconian Competitive Match

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.

Venue Bad Windsheim

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.

Shooting Sports in Franconia

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.
