Hi,
I joined a Traditional archery Club a few weeks ago. Its great, nice folks, own 3D course and every thursday evening is training and chatting day. As in the wintertime it gets cold and dark in the evenings we are very glad to have an indoor range.
The best part of our indoor range is: its inside of a pub :D ! The owners are memebers too and so we were allowed to convert the bowling alley into a shooting range. We can shoot 15 m maximum but we can eat and drink meanwhile.
Just wanted to show you some pics:
The range:

Yesterday we made a bit of fun/trick shooting. You had to shoot the arrow into the channel made for returning the bowling-balls and hit the foam-animal at the end:

We made a video of that too, if i will be able to edit and convert it ill post it later.
Cheers!
I am in a pub every Thursday night as well, but we only have dart boards. Yours looks like a lot more fun!
Killdeer :thumbsup:
Now thats TRUE German heritage! Pubs and bows, I love it. Looks like a great time.
Love it, wish we had a trad only club here with the indoor range.
I would think in your corner of Montana there would be enough gents shooting recurves and longbows to support a trad club. Maybe you could start one up...
Sure like the looks of the one above.
That looks like great fun!
Looks great! It must be nice to have enough local trad folk to set that up. Actually I can think of four or five local trad guys, now I just have to find a bowling alley/pub. :goldtooth:
A club like that would be right up my alley!
Thats really cool, and in a pub!....Phil
I'm VERY envious. I love trad. I love beer. Two of my favorite things! Looks like an AWESOME time! Can I hop a flight to hang out with you guys?! No, seriously...can I?!
Now that is great. What a fantastic idea.
Wow!Nice club and indoor range Axel!
Ho man i wish... To have a trad club... in a pub!!

Of course! Any TGer travelling Germany is very welcome to our club, our 3Dcourse, my home and my services.
Seriously, not only would I want to go there if I went to Germany, I want to go to Germany so I can go to that plub!
Looks like great fun.
That is a great looking place! If only it was a little closer to me I would join.
Thanks for sharing it.
