A set of three antique honorary shooting targets. The wooden panels are decorated with colorful prints depicting a duck, an ibex and a stag. They bear a handwritten inscription of the winner on the front and a handwritten list of the participants on the back. Shot in Germany in 1930 and 1931.

The target of honor or king's target is a traditional award in shooting competitions. The tradition is predominantly widespread in southern Germany, Austria and Lower Saxony. Honorary targets are donated and shot in honor of a personality, on the occasion of a birthday, a wedding or a prize shooting competition. They were often artistically designed and hand-painted, especially in the 18th and 19th centuries. With the advent of printing technology, targets were also created using artistic prints.
