A true story
Laura & Alex — it all began over a set of shooting sticks
Two years ago, Laura and Alex were both at the Hohe Jagd & Fischerei fair in Salzburg — with no idea that this evening would change their lives.
The evening in Salzburg
The fair had already closed for the day, and everyone had moved on to the traditional "Schüsseltrieb" — the shared dinner after the hunt. Back then, Laura had nothing to do with hunting; she was simply there with some colleagues from work. But suddenly she noticed a man who immediately caught her eye: Alex. She would have loved to talk to him — but she couldn't find the courage.
A made-up question
Luckily, her colleague was considerably more determined. She firmly believed you shouldn't let chances simply pass you by. And when she spotted the Viper-Flex logo on Alex's sleeve, she had a spontaneous idea.
"My colleague would like to know what Viper-Flex actually is. Could you explain it to her?"
Alex didn't hesitate for a second. With a smile, he walked straight over to Laura and began talking about Viper-Flex with genuine enthusiasm. He explained why the shooting sticks are so special, the advantages they offer in the field, and why he himself had trusted Viper-Flex for years. It quickly became clear that he wasn't just explaining a product — he was talking about something that had truly won him over, something that came along on every single hunt.
Laura listened attentively and smiled. The truth, however, was that she barely understood a word. Terms like shooting sticks, rest and shot placement meant nothing to her at the time. But it didn't matter. What struck her wasn't just his enthusiasm for Viper-Flex — it was the passion with which he spoke.
One conversation turned into a long evening. A long evening turned into many more meetings. And a chance encounter turned into a great love.
From one evening to a life together
Today — two years later — Laura and Alex are side by side. Not just as a couple, but as hunting partners. Alex introduced Laura to the world of hunting — the responsibility, the traditions, and the respect for game and nature. What began for Laura with a made-up question about Viper-Flex has grown into a passion they now share every day.
Some associate Viper-Flex with precision, stability and trust.
Laura and Alex associate it with the beginning of their story together.
And the story didn't end there. For his proposal, Alex had a very special set of shooting sticks made, engraved with the words "The Sticks of Love".
And Laura said yes. ♥
"The Sticks of Love" — and Laura's yes
