The International Crossbow Shooting Union (IAU) mourns the passing of its Honorary Member Werner Homberger. Werner Homberger (SUI) dedicated his life to the sport of crossbow shooting and to the service of its institutions. He was elected to the IAU Technical Committee (Match) in 1991 and served with distinction as its Chairman from 1993 until 2006. Upon his retirement from this office, he was deservedly elected Honorary Member of the IAU. His commitment to crossbow shooting extended far beyond the international level. Having joined the Armbrustschützenverein Oberwil in 1952, he held several key offices, including Schützenmeister and later President of the club, and was named an Honorary Member in recognition of his long-standing service. He was also an Honorary Member of the Zürcher Kantonal Armbrustschützenverband and the Eidgenössischer Armbrustschützenverband. With Werner Homberger, the crossbow community loses a deeply respected sportsman, official, and companion whose dedication and integrity shaped generations of shooters. The IAU will honor his memory with gratitude and respect, and extends its sincere condolences to his family and loved ones. |
