This year I
decided to spend some time at the IWA Show in
Nuremberg, Germany in order to see first hand some
of the new products mayor crossbow and equipment
manufacturers presented in the preceding weeks.
The IWA Show is Europe's foremost
show for Outdoor, hunting shooting and related
equipment, some numbers from the Show management for
this year:
Location
Nuremberg, Germany March 8-12
Exhibitors
1,055 exhibitors from 48 countries
Display area
Gross: Approx. 55,580 m2
Trade visitors
Approx. 28,000 trade visitors from over 100
countries
Products on display
Guns, gun components and machining, ammunition,
optics, clothing, gifts, archery, knives, personal
security requisites, supplies for security and
official agencies, general outdoor articles, hunting
and shooting accessories, trade information
I decided to go by car but it turned
out to be a bad idea, since there were many many
many people coming back to Germany after spendeng
Sunday skying on Swiss alps, in the end it took
something more than 8 hours to drive 600Km .
Although , I have to be honest, I enjoyed every
single mile as views of the Swiss alps and German
countryside were simply charming.
As I arrived to Nuremberg most of the
hotels close to the trade show were already fully
booked, the Hotel Kuebler-Hof in nearby town of
Wendelstein proved to be a good choice as it
is home of a very good typical German restaurant .
Being also much less expensive than the ones close
to the Show was also a welcome bonus |
