Our stopover in Frankfurt is almost 11 hours. I got a room at the Hilton connected to the Airport.

What about our bags? Since the stopover is 11 hours, we can't check the bags through to Jo Burg. Will we have any problems with the bows and broadheads going through customs/security at Frankfurt? Most of what I have found says that they will be considered sporting goods, and cause no concern. But I'm looking for personal experiences here. Thanks!

What is your final country destination. That makes a difference.
 
I suggest you check with your travel agent your airline.
 
I am going through Frankfurt to avoid Amsterdam. (Where they do care about Bows & Arrows)
I have not been yet, but everything I have read says the Germans don't care about Bows and Arrows.
I forgot to ask Hans this one on my own behalf. I must not be worried yet.
I'll let you know what he says Ben.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
