This is an artefact I found at my Grandma's House. Every officer (Uffz.) and sergeant (Feldw.) shot the painting once, I think the goal was hitting the deers brain. The closest was Uffz. Eckhardt, some (great) great grandfather of mine, which is why my family still owns it, unless it was completely forgotten for some decades. They belonged to NCO Corps 2nd Company Battalion 24 (bottom of the painting). That was only 2 years before WWII.

I wonder what the distance they shot from was.
You stated it in your description, but in the title its a little unclear. The shooters are all part of the NCO-corps. Unteroffizier is a rank bracket and a rank, separate from the Officer- Corps. Thats why Uffz. (Unteroffizier, I think corporal?) And Feldw. (Feldwebel, maybe Sergeant first class? ) are participating.
