Boost for Hungarian hunters<br />
The Hungarian government substantially<br />
amended its hunting regulations,<br />
ushering in a new age for youth and bow<br />
hunting. Effective since 13 June <strong>2023</strong>,<br />
these changes underscore a commitment<br />
to nurturing traditional hunting practices<br />
alongside encouraging technological<br />
advancements.<br />
Under the new legal framework, young<br />
individuals (aged 16 and over) are now<br />
eligible to partake in hunting activities<br />
in Hungary, provided they meet the<br />
necessary prerequisites. This includes<br />
passing the standard examination and,<br />
for those interested in bow hunting or<br />
falconry, the completion of additional,<br />
specialised exams.<br />
The new regulations stipulate that<br />
youths can only hunt big game with a<br />
bow. To ensure the best context for safety<br />
and expertise in the field, the young bow<br />
hunter must be accompanied by a hunter<br />
who has held a certified bow hunting<br />
exam for at least five years.<br />
For small game hunting, the<br />
regulations allow the use of shotguns<br />
and 0.22 caliber rifles, but only when<br />
the young hunter is accompanied by an<br />
experienced guide. Furthermore, with<br />
VisionLab added for validations at world’s<br />
largest ammo production line f irm<br />
The world’s largest<br />
ammunition production line<br />
firm recently integrated the<br />
VisionLab, 3D measuring<br />
system, manufactured by<br />
General Inspection, LLC,<br />
to streamline validations<br />
and inspection.<br />
A full range of small<br />
calibre ammunition and<br />
ammunition components<br />
coming from the company’s<br />
production lines are<br />
measured with 2-micron<br />
precision. This drastically<br />
reduces inspection time<br />
and simplifies machine<br />
run-offs by eliminating<br />
measurement differences<br />
inherent with manual<br />
gauges.<br />
In seconds, all<br />
dimensions; including<br />
lengths, diameters, radii,<br />
angles, plus GD&T features<br />
are measured, displayed<br />
and available in excel or<br />
CSV files to share digitally.<br />
Part feature tolerances<br />
are assigned with the<br />
appropriate part number<br />
and stored in memory for<br />
quick recall.<br />
VisionLab 3D gauging<br />
system advantages include:<br />
- Complete inspection in<br />
less than 5 seconds<br />
- Up to 360 profile<br />
measurements<br />
- GD&T feature<br />
measurements<br />
- Simplified 3D GUI<br />
- Built-in self-calibration<br />
- No software licensing fee<br />
Validation of new<br />
production equipment<br />
costs both the producer<br />
the appropriate training, young hunters<br />
are now permitted to engage in the art<br />
of falconry, thus expanding the scope of<br />
hunting activities accessible to them.<br />
The Hungarian government anticipates<br />
that these revised regulations will<br />
invigorate participation in hunting,<br />
inspiring a new generation to enjoy<br />
these traditions in a safe, controlled,<br />
and the end user a lot of<br />
time and money. VisionLab<br />
streamlines measurement<br />
validations by eliminating<br />
disputes caused by human<br />
error that exists when<br />
using manual gauges.<br />
With all the data of every<br />
feature available in seconds,<br />
VisionLab cuts production<br />
machine validations from<br />
days to seconds.<br />
VisionLab is versatile,<br />
accurate and fast, capable<br />
of handling a wide range<br />
of applications. Gi will<br />
accommodate onsite or<br />
online/web demonstrations.<br />

and ethical environment. This approach<br />
underlines Hungary’s dedication to<br />
balancing tradition with technology,<br />
ensuring the preservation and<br />
sustainability of hunting customs for<br />
future generations.<br />
