Correction: This is the text I need translated.

Schutzen Heil!

Mit sicherm Blick und keckem Mut, Triffst Schutze dieses Ziel du gut!

Thanks again

Schutzen Heil!

Mit sicherm Blick und keckem Mut, Triffst Schutze dieses Ziel du gut!

"With keen eyesight and bold courage, the shooter will hit the target well".

P.s. Sounds like a quote from the "Tigerfibel" or a Snipermanual.

Thank you for the help metallyrob.

Actually the text is on a poster hanging in over my shooting bench at home. I purchased the poster from our host last year. If you send me your email address, I'll send you a photo of it.

Funny, it's been hanging there all this time and I never knew what it meant until this morning when my wife asked me about it.

Schützen Heil = aprox. "Shooters Hello"

Mit sicherem Blick und Keckem Mut = aprox. "With focus and determination".
Triffst Schutze dieses Ziel du gut = aprox. "Shooter will make a good hit at this target!"

Danke Herr Dei.

Well, sometimes foreign expressions and terms ought not to be translated word by word.

A better translation probably:

"With focus and determination, a shooter will achieve a good score".

Rgdz,
Mr. Dei.

I have got questions from friends about what the german expression "Heil" specifically means.

For those interested: Heil! translates directly to "Stay healthy".

End of topic.
