I seem to remember that the word 'Tell' has something to do with hunting, possible 'shooting' in general.
I think that a couple hundred years ago a hunter would be referred to as 'a Tell'
There are some shooting clubs in Germany with 'Tell' in their name.

Could be that it comes from 'Wilhelm Tell' who arguably was a crack shot.
Wolfgang should be able to find out.
