This is a castle that could be seen from the rendezvous. Near the end of the rendezvous, I took some time to tour it and a concentration camp that was in the same town. We were right near the Czech border...

Hi,
I can see all the pics too.
Seems you had a great time over here.
Btw. most archers and bowbuilders here have no intention to go hunting.
We very much enjoy 3D shoots
Greetings

Actually, members of state came to the rendezvous and were very positive about the opportunity to legalize bowhunting in Germany. Many of the folks who have been working toward that for years were very excited about it. We discussed archery tackle and it's effectiveness as a hunting tool. A group from the event are going to try and come over here to hunt in the Fall of 2010.
It was fun to shoot at 3D targets with broadheads, though!

Chad, thanks for posting those pictures. I miss Germany! one day, I need to go back as a civilian. The bier especially looked good. The brand we drank was Hausenbrau (I think I spelled it incorrectly, means rabbit's brew, made near Augsburg).

I can see the pictures now! Looks like y'all had a good time. Was there much of a language barrier? I guess they all spoke english?

Ryano,
The language barrier wasn't bad. Most Germans have had several years of English in school. I also found that many German words and English words were similar, so by the end of the trip, I could understand quite a bit of German (speaking would another matter entirely)

Wow! Looks like a great trip. Did you notice the cannon ports on the castle? Looks like it must have been either modified or built durring the time of cannon. The Archery loopholes usually angle from the small outside slits toward wider on the inside. Cannon ports where oppossite so when loaded with shot it could spread out more quickly and you could traverse the cannon more since you need less room to move it in.
