Boost for Hungarian hunters
The Hungarian government substantially
amended its hunting regulations,
ushering in a new age for youth and bow
hunting. Effective since 13 June 2023,
these changes underscore a commitment
to nurturing traditional hunting practices
alongside encouraging technological
advancements.
Under the new legal framework, young
individuals (aged 16 and over) are now
eligible to partake in hunting activities
in Hungary, provided they meet the
necessary prerequisites. This includes
passing the standard examination and,
for those interested in bow hunting or
falconry, the completion of additional,
specialised exams.
The new regulations stipulate that
youths can only hunt big game with a
bow. To ensure the best context for safety
and expertise in the field, the young bow
hunter must be accompanied by a hunter
who has held a certified bow hunting
exam for at least five years.
For small game hunting, the
regulations allow the use of shotguns
and 0.22 caliber rifles, but only when
the young hunter is accompanied by an
experienced guide. Furthermore, with

The world’s largest
ammunition production line
firm recently integrated the
VisionLab, 3D measuring
system, manufactured by
General Inspection, LLC,
to streamline validations
and inspection.
A full range of small
calibre ammunition and
ammunition components
coming from the company’s
production lines are
measured with 2-micron
precision. This drastically
reduces inspection time
and simplifies machine
run-offs by eliminating
measurement differences
inherent with manual
gauges.
In seconds, all
dimensions; including
lengths, diameters, radii,
angles, plus GD&T features
are measured, displayed
and available in excel or
CSV files to share digitally.
Part feature tolerances
are assigned with the
appropriate part number
and stored in memory for
quick recall.
VisionLab 3D gauging
system advantages include:
- Complete inspection in
less than 5 seconds
- Up to 360 profile
measurements
- GD&T feature
measurements
- Simplified 3D GUI
- Built-in self-calibration
- No software licensing fee
