From the records of a German Schützenverein in Texas, circa 1890, the "Schießregeln" are addressed:
"Bei dem Anfang des ersten Spiels mögen die Schützen so schießen, wie sie zum Schuße fertig sind.
Nachdem jeder anwesende Schütze seinen ersten Schuß abgegeben hat, soll der Schreiber die Namen in der Reihenfolge, wie sie eingetragen sind, aufrufen u. schießen lassen.
Vorschießen ist nicht erlaubt."
Unfortunately, there is no further context. Does "Vorschießen" refer to "practice shots" or "shooting before one's name is called" or something else? I can't seem to find a definition of the word that works in this context...

same order should be followed
Hi Timoshka,
Like you guessed, it could mean that participants have to follow the order in which the names are entered. My reason being the phrase "...in der Reihenfolge, wie sie eingetragen sind..."
Moreover the text is talking about what is to be done after the first shot is made ("Nachdem jeder anwesende Schütze seinen ersten Schuß... ".
Please note that the text mentions that the first round of shooting can be made in any order desired based on which participant is ready to take the shot. But once the first shot is made, the order in which the shot is taken has to be entered and then the same order has to be followed.
So may be it means that once the participants finish the first round of shooting, they have to follow the same sequence in the second round and not jump the queue...

Shooting order (sequence) rather than order = command to shoot

Discussion
When for whatever reason, a shooter knows in advance that they will be unable to shoot with their team, that shooter will be allowed to shoot in advance as needed. Advance shooting of more than three (3) weeks shall require prior approval from the League Management Committee. When shooting in advance, all scores must be posted, the score sheet date stamped and signed by the shooter and trapper, and the score sheets marked...
