That does not look like it is the owner of the site.

The owner of the site is an SEO consultant in Munich:

And this person is Austrian.

You are right - that's not me. That is Andreas Bichler (an austrian - armbrustbauer.at). He built the crossbow back in 2014. Andreas is a true specialist when it comes to crossbows. Wherever I can, I try to get specialist voices. Andreas very kindly allowed me to showcase and link to his video on loeffelholz-codex.org.
