About The Hollandtown Schut
The Hollandtown Schut has been a tradition of the community of Hollandtown for 177 consecutive years. The Schut is held on the second Sunday of August each year. Traditionally, the Schut was held at the "Schut grounds" near the church. For safety reasons, the event was moved to Triple J Wing and Clay. Shooters take turns shooting directly at a fabricated bird. The one to shoot down the last piece of the bird is declared the King. Prizes are awarded for the head, tail, wings, and the last piece. The King and Queen then reign at a dinner held in their honor.
