The Babenhausen Rod & Gun Club in 1972 _________________________ The Babenhausen Rod & Gun club was on the outside of post,  on the woods edge on the „pool table“ training site. The Rod & Gun club then featured: 10 station mini golf course trap site double tower skeet site (high-low towers) rifle range  pistol range playground outdoor picknick area Back in1972 a soda pop cost .5 c and a cheeseburger was .25 c., so a family could eat out for 2-3$. As a kid I was the “pull boy” at the skeet site for the shooters and collected all missed clay pidgins afterwards, some shooters payed me 25c some only 5c (these cheapskates). The highlite was when the Army was at the rifle range, we collected the casings and clips after they were gone. The Rod and Gun club was closed sometime in the late 70’s or early 80’s, at that time there were R&G clubs in A’Burg-Hanau-Darmstadt-Rhein Main AFB just to name a few.
