history 60 years inventive Gehmann intuitive innovative The company background... In the 1930s a young Walter Gehmann started being noticed on the range. He was a pain to fellow competitors in small-bore and full-bore rifle, winning competitions to national level. Seeking further improvements in his scores he sought to develop shooting equipment of his day. As early as 1936 he designed his first precision rearsight assembly. The following year he developed the first pair of dedicated shooting glasses with a moveable lens holder. In 1939 he came up with Germany´s first target-shooting jacket, a shooting sling, boots and a specialised glove. Walter Gehmann founder 1949 gave birth to the company name. Although the first 40 years were steered by its founder Walter, son Markus came to the firm and then assisted his father for some 10 years - before taking over. Returning to Walter Gehmann´s career: it was to see him achieve a world champion-ship, followed by his first rearsight iris in 1953 - with which he won no less than seven German championships. In 1956 came his first foresight iris. Two years later he produced his first colour filter unit for a rearsight. A little-known fact about Gehmann's founder was his talent for aiding design and development of the other well-known manufacturers in their pioneering days. Patenting the Mauser 66 action, designing the Anschutz Match 54 action and assisting design and production of the Feinwerkbau 65, 150, 300 and their small-bore rifle were just a few... he also carried out development work for Walther. Herr Gehmann Snr. now has more than one hundred patents to his credit and can still be found behind his desk. Some of his best ideas never got to us, unfortunately. Two examples being an electronically controlled iris that automatically adjusted to ambient light and a twin eyesight combined prism enabling the rifle shooter to use both eyes for sighting. An inquiring mind forever explores avenues of possibility though not all will reach maturity. More recently Gehmann witnessed the introduction of what is now the world’s leading pre-charged match air weapon -and chosen as Morini´s major distributor. The 162.E pistol, a revolution in its day, sent rivals scampering for similar ideas, though no-one has yet manufactured an equivalent. This got complimented by the handpump at the same time as development of the first lockable rearsight. Installation of works programmes for continued improvement of irises, sights, clothing, control equipment and their future adaptability, service warranty and customer cost were put in place at the turn of the century. The future looks bright. Walter Gehmann with his son - getting to know how to do it ! In conclusion, Gehmann is recognised world-wide as the premier target shooting equipment manufacturer - producing the very best at prices we can afford - with a service life second to none...

One of these products was a dedicated target shooting jacket with the now familiar non-slip shoulder pad. The family business name was born and became the company we know today. ... 1953 saw development and manufacture of their first rear-sight iris. This iris and other versions that were patented later gave rise to Gehmann’s unique ability today of giving a 30-year guarantee on any one of their rearsight irises - that’s progress! ... 1956 led to the first foresight iris - from then on the product range just grew and grew. There is now just about every item we see on the range - from the shooter to the competiton controller, the weapons and clothing, the targets and the smiles! ... 1997 saw the registration of our latest iris patent following non-stop development in design, engineering and materials. We made, what was for us, one of our biggest decisions which was to exceed any other manufacturer's standards by leading the field. page 2
