Ok, that sounds great!

And now tell me one thing- what are you going to do with this great crossbow when we are not allowed to shoot with it anywhere in germany?

The shooting ranges do not allow you to use it except for a weak compound bow..

Home use is pointless because of short distance..

We can not hunt with it..

We can not shoot it in the park or forest because it is treated as a weapon..

And don't get me wrong- i have 2 crossbows. One is rev x but they are collecting dust, totally useless

And i too have heavy weapons, one of them is the machine gun .308 but at least i can use it in my club, but not the damn crossbow..

So, what are you going to do with it?

Just wondering cause i live in germany too and have no clue what to do with my crossbows

Sounds like a great place to live! Lol

That's what's always struck me as odd in Germany. You can own 2 and 3 million dollar homes but still not have hardly any land with it at all. When I say hardly any land I mean not even 50 feet of yard space. The land is usually just the perimeter of the home.

Yes! I really love it here

Also the almost 40% tax for my income bracket, its just lovely

Mind you i have my own company but still.. Its whacked

But i can not leave, kids here born, roots are to deep now

 

[Blacktail]

I don't plan on touching one them. Just like I don't want to put me hands on few other crossbows that just seem to fail constantly.

Yes and no.. I have 500qm property in city , others outside the city have more but i don't know if they shoot crossbows..

I guess if you had larger property with big barn then you could go behind and shoot some as long as no one sees or hears..

But its still risky because you may buy them as sport apparatus but not shoot because its then regarded as a weapon.

And that would not be a problem if we had shooting ranges for crossbows but we hardly do, not in Bremen where i live, near Hamburg..

There are many bow clubs but they do not allow crossbows and there lies our problem.. We don't have any places to use them legally and enjoy them.

Work to change the hunting laws.

I think even the hunters here (i know many from my shooting club where they come to practice with rifles) think of the crossbow as barbaric and unhuman way to kill the animal so there is no interest..

 

[grzech2005]

I guess so... But he too risks a lot since its considered a weapon and one may not use weapons on his private property too.. Its criminal offense.

Even if i find someone with gravel pit and those darn dog walkers see me and call police i am done for... No, thanks

'Bout like buying a keg of beer but can't drink it, can only look at it...got it!

I'd move!

They think wrong.

yes thats why i gave up on the nitro 505 that i was gonna buy this weekend... i asked myself why buy it if i cant use it???

till now i thought i will find shooting ranges easy.. thats why i bought my first 2 crossbows but after calling few and being rejected by all i said fu..k it! was i an idiot buying the rev x.. well, i can still shoot it in my shop but thats only 30 feet.

 

[grzech2005]

They think wrong.

i know that but they will not change their way of thinking if the government does not allow them to use the crossbow in the first place.

 

[Huntersthompson]

Mind control

 

[grzech2005]

Mind control

yes, german mind control (and i am polack by the way)

I don't know if it's still like it was but I've never seen a cleaner place. Germany was beautiful to me...there wasn't trash and stuff all over the streets. Nothing really looked run down...it was just real clean looking.

Not seeing any hybrid x bows failing. Maybe i missed something! Lol

yes, it is still clean.. not as much as it used to be but overall its still a clean place... people take care of their homes, even in the country villages you see older people cleaning the curbs and sidewalks by the street, and its clean too..

Can we give Germany San Francisco? How do you say; who flung poo in German?
