Its been a few years since I got any Traditional/Primitive Archery Magazines and I'm in the process of subscribing again now. It seems there are a few new magazines both hard copy and digital and I was wondering what everyone else thought about them. I was also wondering if there was any I was missing or had overlooked.
I tried to look at one which offers a Digital Copy every month and a Hard Copy too but I had problems looking at the digital copy. It seemed like it was all over the place and I ended up closing it without even reading the thing, maybe it was my connection or computer? Does anyone else have a problem with digital magazine copies?
I did find the Aussie Magazine "Stikbow Hunter" which is free and downloaded a few copies which I thought was excellent. No problem at all with the PDF version of a magazine, it worked great.

I'd like to know of a good one too.
I know that Primitive Archer offers a digital version of their magazine. I usually wait for the hard copy but we got the announcement today that the digital version was now available for the July/August 2009 issue.
E-mail Sarah at sarah@primitivearcher for more details.
Starting with the first issue next year Billy Berger is doing a 6 part series on Native American bows and arrows. He has gotten unequaled permission and access to spend a few days at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC to study, measure and take detail photos starting on the East Coast and moving across the country, ending with the colorfully designed paddle bows of the Pacific Northwest. This series will be over the six 2010 issues.
