    Sponsor: Kendall County Roofing

    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”.

    I’m Tom Allred with Boerne Texas History and this is Boerne Radio 103.9FM.
