Send us a text

With a single shot he cleaved an apple in two and carved his place into history and legend! Most people in the Wester World have heard, even if just in passing, the name William Tell. But who was he really? Did he really manage to hit an apple on the head of his son?
If you want these, and many more, questions answered, travel with me! We will delve into the history of the Apple Shot, how it evolved and we'll see the many objects used as target practice during the centuries. I'll introduce you the bowmen to whom William Tell owes his legend and we'll talk about the role this hero has had in the shaping of the Helvetic Confederation both in the past and today.
