The Wiesbadener Schützengesellschaft 1843-1860 e.V. was formed in 1909 by merging the Wiesbadener Bürger-Corps, founded in 1843, with the Wiesbadener Schützenverein, founded in 1860. In 1913, a new shooting house was inaugurated at the Fasanerie, which had numerous shooting ranges, including a clay pigeon range, a tilting hare range and a forest hare range. After the Second World War, the Wiesbaden Shooting Society was banned like all German shooting societies, the occupying power confiscated the shooting house and ultimately destroyed most of the shooting facilities.

After the re-admission of shooting clubs in 1951 and the founding of the German Shooting Association in 1952, the Wiesbaden Shooting Society was also reactivated. In 1953, a new shooting range with ten fully automatic small-caliber ranges as well as a rapid-fire pistol range and air rifle ranges was built in Klarenthal. By the end of the 1950s, the Wiesbaden Shooting Society once again had 250 members.

Today, in addition to a short and long gun section, the club also has its own archery section and a junior section for young people. A café and the Neues Schützenhaus restaurant with a spacious beer garden have also been established.
