If any of you ever comes across the big pond....
« on: December 12, 2010, 08:54:00 AM »
...he will be an honoured guest if he comes to my house!

Just wanted to let you know...

I live in the medival town of Rothenburg o.T. in South germany with millions of tourists passing through, a lot form the US. I was always wondering if perhaps a fellow Tradganger might have come here as well.

So if someone of you visits the south of Germany, just send me a pm and youll be invited! I could take you shooting with one of my bows at our 3D course, our indoor range or just stumping in the woods. I could show you around, organize a place in a 3D tournament or if you like take you fishing at my own pond.

Id be honoured to have you as my guest.

Regards Axel

P.S. If this thread is against the TG rules and will be pulled, my apology to the moderators. Was not in bad spirit, just dont know if this is ok or not. Thanks

Generous offer Axel. Would like to visit Europe again some day but with the economy like it is luxury trips are out for us. But hope someone takes you up on your offer, would be good to meet other shooters wherever they are.

My Mom was born there in 1942, and I still have and Aunt and Uncle, and plenty of cousins, there.  He invites me every year, but life always takes over.  We all decided to Meet in Hawaii this past Easter for a family reunion.  Maybe we can have the next one at his place.  I will keep this in mind.  Thank you for the generous offer, and if you ever make it to Michigan, I will do the same for you.  Good trade.

That is a very generous offer Axel. Sounds like a good time would definitely be had. I'm sure some Tradgangers will make it over to your part of the world.
Thanks again.

Axel:  Great offer.  Perhaps I should say cousin Axel?  That is the ancestral land of my people.  My Great Grandparents came from all four corners of Germany.

Axel,
Thanks for the invite. I'll be headed to England again, God willing in late July or August. I would love to see the mountains in Austria.

I was in Rothenburg a couple of years ago! My wife and I had a lot of fun there. Wish TG was around then, maybe we could have hooked up.
Maybe next time..... I do get out to Europe every few years so...it just might happen.
Thanks for the offer!!

Dang! I had the family with me visiting Barcelona and Prague last summer, a bit of culture and lots of Pilsner-we could have hoisted a few!

Been to Rothenburg twice. What a great Medieval walled city! Too bad I didn't know about a traditional archer who lived there. If you ever get to Wyoming, the invitation runs both ways. Danke!

Thats a great offer. After seeing the pics of your 3D shoot it would be a great time to come shoot with you.

As Pat said the invitation goes both ways if you ever make it to wyoming.

onions and centaur,
when youve been to Rothenburg, you have more than likely walked by my house as it is 50m from the market place/town hall.

Very interesting to hear about German roots of some of you.

And thanks alot for the invitations, but my next trip will be to Australia for chasing pigs, after that the US is on the list   :thumbsup:

I doubt I'll ever be able to make that trip, but would love to do it.
That part of Germany is where my Grandparents came from.  Dad lost contact with relatives there as a youth.
If you are ever in our country, I'll be glad to show you some "Southern Hospality"!  We don't ever aloow company, but we love friends!  We'll throw another pallett on the floor, and add some more water to the soup, throw another log on the campfire, and swap some lies!  :campfire:    :archer2:

Axel, 35 yrs. ago I was stationed in Neu Ulm and Augsburg.  My wife and I have often talked about returning to revisit my old haunts.  You've given me one more reason to visit!

Axel,

You live in one of my favorite towns.  I was last there in September 2000.  I took my wife and folks to Europe for three weeks to show them some of my old haunts.  We stayed at the Hotel Spitzweg for a few day and had a grand time.

Cheers,

Kent
