Does anybody here know where in the East Coast they do the The German Armed Forces for Weapons Proficiency Competiton (Schützenschnur)?

This is ran 100% by the German Army, so I would highly suspect that you need to get yourself to Germany to accomplish this. Ran this course of fire in Kuwait, the MG was in the sand so deep you could not elevate on target at all. Only the first three who tired made the score. My butt was near the end of the line but what the heck I got to launch a bunch of rounds. Ammo bearer up! Semper Fi.

I couldn't find anything about the "Schützenschnur" specifically for your area. But at Ft. Benning they held a GAFPB test this year. That may be a good place to start as far as finding what you want.

Soldiers test for German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge

More than 120 Soldiers from across Fort Benning completed requirements for the German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge Jan. 8 and received their badges during a ceremony that took place at Sand Hill.

Contact your post (or nearest) German Liason Office and ask. They usually do one a year at most bases. You don't have to be in Germany. It just requires a signature of the Liason Officer.
