Went to a big mainly trad 3D shoot today, a great shoot and we had 4 Norwegian members of tad gang all in one place, so a photo call was in order...
Svein D on the left, then Margly, then me, then Grande... The three last are of course "team Norway" who won the trad gang Internet shoot last winter :D
Margly and grande shot like gods today, leaving me trailing behind for once... But it was still a good day with archery friends old and new! Congrats to Margly for soundly winning (and outshooting one compound, matching another and only being just beaten by another!) :campfire:

Nice pic!
Who is the tall handsome with the Firefly :D
-
It was a pleasure to shoot this 3D course, the archery club Laugen has really made an effort making a challenging up and down shooting over 40 targets.
And real cool to meet Svein D, for the first time!
A real good archer and Tradganger:)
If im correct we are 6 Norwegian Tradgangers and it's way cool that 4 of 6 did meet in a competition today :)
I recon Svein will chime in with some more pics :archer:

We do have boars but just in the south on the lowest parts of the border to Sweden :)

Sounds like you all had a great time. :thumbsup: Allways good to shoot with your mates.

Gratulerer til Margly og takk for bildet! Det ser godt ut for buejegere i Norge i disse dagene: Regjeringen vurderer å tillate buejakt (http://www.nrk.no/nyheter/norge/1.7815934) .

:clapper: Nice group of folk!

Takk :)
Vi krysser fingrene for godkjenning til jakt.
Er vi heldige så får vi testjakt i løpet av 2 år :)
Hva jakter du på med bue ?
-
eidsvolling - you sure make it hard to argue with you!
Good on you, guys. I'm thinking, how neat is this - worldwide tradgangers. We've also got the Aussies, Hawaiians, Nova Scotians...
-
Great Pics guys and congats Margly on your win. Good shooting.
-
Now there's a bunch if I ever seen one! HAHA Good to see you guys had a good outing. Of course you just HAD to mention that you beat us on the Tradgang internet shoot....geeeeez.
"...tall and handsome"...? Don't see one among those in the picture....haha It would be fun to be able to shoot with you guys some time.
-
I love it. If you guys are ever in our neck of the woods (Alaska) give me a shout. Would love to chew the fat about my norwegian roots... my fathers side of the family, the Amundsons. Roald was my grandmothers uncle. Maybe there is a reason I settled so far north. I guess we are about the same latitude. Coastal Alaska looks to be very similar to fiord country.
-
I've often wondered my Norwegian blood is the reason I like cooler climates too. Must something to that.
-
I'm Norwegian, 48 and I really don't care much for the cold but I would like to go to Norway.
No bowhunting at all. Lets hope that can get changed..

We will give a shout when visit Alaska :archer:
I do agree the coastal Alaska seems very alike the fjords we have in Norway.
Here is a pic of the fjord where I`m living:

Thanks :archer:
It was a really challenging good course setup with 40 different 3D animals, with a lot of up&downhill shooting.
The cool part with this shoot is that it divided in only two classes with or without aiming equipment.(and childsclass)
Overall we where a total of 53 archers where 6 where compound shooters. And the rest was tradbows.
Difference from the compound to trad inside the 35 yard distances where not big when it did come down to calculate points.

Halvorson and Olson blood here. Good to hear from the home country. Hope to visit Norway one day. If you are down South on holiday try and visit between Oct-Jan and we can get ya on some Whitetails.
-
Good to have tradgangers around the world, if you make it Minnesota some time let us know, my wife is of Norge background, speaks reads and plays the hardingfele, and has lived in Norway in the past.....she's not an archer though I've tryed.....and her bows for her mucial insurments cost as much as the high end bow some of us shoot these days...
-
You norwegians, come here in Finland to hunt with us (Finnish Bowhunting club) Next fall. Free hunting (Rabbits and Birds, Foxes, maybe Beavers?) Free Cabin :)
-
nice to hear of archers in the old country....my family is Norwegian (Steen) with a little Swede thrown in for comical relief. I sure love lefse when I'm out roving or hunting...or anytime!
only question is, where are your longbows?

Hardingfele gives a really nice sound :)
I like the tune Fanitullen, ask your wife to play it for you :)
here is the poem that follows the music and is about the way they did party in Hallingdal:
Fanitullen
(http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss142/RonnyMargly/fanitullen.gif)
I hine hårde dage da øldrikk og svir,
hallingdølens knivblad satt løst i hans slir,
da kvinnene til gilde bar likskjorten med
hvori de kunne legge sin husbonde ned.
Stod der et blodig bryllup i Hemsedal ensteds,
hvor lek og dans var tystnet og karene slo krets.
Ti midt på gulvets tilje i den mannslagne ring
stod to med dragne knive og et belte spent ikring.
Og som utskårne støtter i hvilende ro
står ennu fire karer i kretsen om de to
De løfter tyrilysen mot det sorte bjelketak,
hvor røkens hvirvler samles til et rugende lag.
forgjeves tvenne kvinner med hyl trenger frem,
å bryte det faste gjerde der er stillet foran dem.
De kastes vredt tilbake av de muskelsterke menn,-
og spillemannen rolig går til kjellertrappen hen.
Nu skal han ned å tappe; ti den seirende mann,
kan saktens vel beh|ve å kysse bollens rand.
I beltespenning nappes de kun med blodets tap;
så må vel åren fylles fra tønnetutens tap.
Men da han stod i kjeller'n han så i et blålig skinn
'en sitte er på tønnen og stemme felen sin.
Og karen holdt en omvendt, tett opp til brystet klemt,
og gav seg til å stryke så snart han hadde stemt.
Det var et spill som dugde det klang som vred manns ord,
som hugg av stålstemt bile og som veneslag i bord.
Det jublet og det hulket i det skumle kjellerhall
da slåttens toner endte med et rungende mannefall.
Taus spillemannen lyttet til de mektige løp;
det var som spillets vivler nedad ryggen på ham krøp.
Så spurte han denannen: ``Hvor l&aerlig;rte du den slått:''
Han svarte:''Det er det samme, men minn deg den blott!''
Nu mannen ned seg lutet og etter tappen tok -
da så han hestehoven som takt mot tønna slo.
Han glemte rent å tappe, han sprang i stuen opp -
der løftet de fra gulvet den falne mannekropp.
Fanitullen kalles ennå den ville slått,
og dølene den spiller, og spiller den godt.
Men lyder de grumme toner under øldrikk og svir,
da løsner ater kniven i hallingdølens slir.
Enjoy :D

Nilirova, I might follow you up on that!
I tried to find out about bowhunting in Finland last year but did not have any luck.
Is it legal also to hunt whitetails with bow in Finland?

Hi Nate!
Then you should try lefse with butter, cinnamon and sugar to your cofeebreak or with rakafisk, onion and some sourcream :bigsmyl:

tru da veeds, run a tousand Svedes, chased by 4 trad shooting Norwegians! :bigsmyl: Congrats on a grand gathering and accounting of your skills! :thumbsup: :clapper:

Thanks for the tune Margly! I'll email it to my wife at work today as she has her fiddle with her for practice after work.
My father in laws people come from Hallingdal so she might know the tune. My father in law is a cousin to the people that run the Bruseletto knives in Gielo (spelling) Many of the old folks are gone now though...
-
That is a downright shame that you cannot bowhunt.We here in the USA really are lucky and I give thanks everyday to the people that keep fighting for our rights.

Brusletto have really good knifes :thumbsup:

Bowhunting will now be allowed in Norway for a three-year trial period. Details on locations and species are still to be worked out. Gratulerer till alle som har jobbet med dette!
Unfortunately, the news is announced today on the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation home page (http://www.nrk.no) with an image of a live deer with an arrow piercing its nose frontally. The headline reads in Norwegian, "Wants this to be allowed". The picture is edited at the linked story (http://www.nrk.no/nyheter/distrikt/hedmark_og_oppland/1.7960070) to crop out the entrance wound and show only the exit side, with part of the arrow shaft showing. :banghead:
-
Well, there must have been an uproar from bowhunters (and/or the regulator).
NRK has now removed the offensive photo from its home page and replaced the headline with "Want to try hunting with bow and arrow". But there's still a photo at the linked story showing the live deer with an arrow sticking through its head and neck, with the caption, "This is Krag's horror case where an animal is wounded."
Anton Krag is identified as the leader of an animal protection group in Norway, and we now find out that the photo was supplied to NRK by them.
-
"Anton Krag is identified as the leader of an animal protection group in Norway, and we now find out that the photo was supplied to NRK by them."
It always kills me when they call themselves "animal rights activists or described as a animal protection group". Do they protect them from all predators? No just humans with weapons. I believe that is discrimation. They are weeding out one predator and taking that predator's rights away that are a cultural tradition and a way to feed their family.
-
Good thread and really nice from the responses to get a feel for just how international the trad gang are.
-
Wow!!!!
Great news :))))
-
Wow, what a bunch, nice to see the faces to those who whipped our behinds in the Paper target league.
Kindest regards, :bigsmyl:
-
Hej på er norrmän:)!
-
good luck. here is your chance to be real emissaries
for traditional bowhunters!
-
Margly, you mentioned that the 3D shoot had a lot of uphill and downhill shots. By that, I take it to mean that you weren't shooing in tunnels or on the water! That's about the only time I wasn't going uphill or downhill when I was in Norway. That's not to say I don't want to come back though. Norway is breathtaking in its beauty. Perhaps I'll look some of you guys up when I'm there in about 3 years on a woodturning cruise up the west coast. Take care, keep shooting, and good luck with hunting both in Norway and Finland.
-
That is incredible news for you guys! I hope that you get to hunt your home country for the rest of your days. Good luck with everything!
-
I was in the Marine Corps unit that went to Norway every winter. We were treated well by those wonderful, hearty people. Nice to have you here

Glad you liked Norway :)
If you ever visit my part of the world please let me know :)
In a couple of years we might go bowhunting together here in Norway :archer:

Back in the days when I was in the army ( TOW)
We did a lot of winter training with the US marines up in the north of Norway.
We had a lot of freezing and fun together :)
-
Sorry, but I have to tamp down the enthusiasm I am responsible for generating.
It turns out that the proposed three-year trial will require approval from both the Norwegian Ministry of the Environment and Norway's parliament, as a statute currently requires the use of a firearm in hunting. It's estimated that it will take a couple of years to get all that in place.
-
Keep pushing. Maybe a letter writing campaign from outside Norway would help? Or maybe Hurt? Hope it works out for you. Thanks for sharing the picture from your shoot! Always like to hear from across the pond!
-
Greetings from Germany,
good to see some guys from the Old World at Tradgang too.
May be we could meet at the Danish Open in Summer?
Best,
Vincent
-
For what it's worth, in Ontario Canada, a bow IS a firearm for the purposes of the Fish and Game Act.
-
Norway is about to take another step towards approving bowhunting. A scientific test shoot will be done at a red deer research center this fall, if approval is secured from an animal research committee. The purpose of the test is to compare results between bows and rifles. If the results are acceptable, the next step would be a pilot hunting season. I'm pretty sure they're still going to restrict this to compounds however, at least for the time being.
(Note: These are what in North America we call "elk" or sometimes "wapiti". Europeans use "elk" for what we call "moose" and "red deer" for the animal most closely related to our "elk".
Lykke til alle buejegerne der borte!
Opnar for jakt med pil og boge (http://www.nrk.no/sognogfjordane/opnar-for-jakt-med-pil-og-boge-1.11069910)

One more tradganger from Norway checking in.
-
Skål!
-
Very Nice!
-
Good job guys! I knew a couple of Norwegians in Ft. Worth in 1991. Per and Livar. Really nice guys. That's my Norwegian story......
-
That's a great looking tribe right there!!!! :thumbsup:
-
Good luck with getting bowhunting legalized!
Here I am dragging out a doe I arrowed behind the house a few years back with my Norwegian friends Ole and Angar (Fjord drafts). They didn't bat an eye when I hooked the deer. I might be just a LITTLE bit over powered for this job, though!

That is a fun image to see. I'll be calling you if I get a NH moose permit. :) (There are folks in these parts who make their teams available for such work, but I don't know of any Fjord Horses doing that here yet.)
-
This thread has got me going time to get somepickled herring on buttered kanecka bread. My grandfather had a place on lake vatern.
-
So how has this all turned out? Did Norway finally allow bow hunting or not? I hope so.... Maybe one day the whole of Europe will homogenise their hunting laws.
Cheers
