Charly Egger – Silver Staff

I was born In Austria in April 19th 1955. School and high school. After school I started education for a Goldsmith. Then I’ve been in the service in the Austrian Army.

I was in Special Forces, during this time I went to the United Nations for 4 1/2 years for Peace Keeping Operations in the Middle East. After this time I’ve been a store manager in a Sport Shop here in Austria (Wintersport village). My contact to the archery sport was started in 1987.

First I started target- and field shooting and in 1992 I changed to the 3-D shooting in Austria and Europe. In my category – Compound Unlimited Senior -I am one of the three best shooters in Europe now. The European Archery Association 3-D was founded in 1993 and I am the President of this Organization for ten years.

After my last Military action in the Middle East I went home to Austria and I was looking for a new Job and found it in Italy. Since 2004 I have represented the company “Big Archery Bignami” and I also work very close with Austria Bogensport (Johannes Edward Horngacher).
