I just glanced through mine last night - haven't had a chance to read it yet, but you know that will be the first one I do!
I really think it is great that quality, well respected writers submit articles to Bowhunter magazine.  I know it is full of a lot of the junk that we as trad shooters don't care about, or even cringe at occasionally, but the reality is that is where 90% of bowhuters are likely to see articles about traditional hunting.  I think it's a great way to expose them to our way of life!  :thumbsup:    :clapper:  

Congratulations Jason!

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. That was actually the first article I've ever submitted to Bowhunter, so I was kind of surprised when they bought it. There are a lot of mainstream bowhunting publications that wouldn't have ran an article with that overall theme. I'm glad that Bowhunter is different.

Do you feel they are beginning to have more traditional articles in Bowhunter than previously? It appears to me they are.Nice article Jason.

I think Dwight Schuh really likes the idea of traditional hunting in general.

" I think Dwight Schuh really likes the idea of traditional hunting in general.
i think your right ... i wrote him a few years back to query his set up that he was hunting with at the time [ pics were in Bowhunter mag ] ... a Neil Russel Wilderness longbow ...
he wrote back to me here in Oz too !!!

Great article Jason...keep 'em coming !!!

Ben

I remember reading an article where Dwight Schuh was bowhunting elk with a recurve so he is familiar. Will have to check out Jason's article.

hey Jason, what are the specs on the bow you used in that hunt?  seems like it did the trick!

Thanks again, everyone. I really appreciate it.

Hawk: with my 32" draw length, poundage numbers are a little difficult to compare. The arrow I shot through that bull weighed 499 grains on my scale, and my bow puts it through a chronograph at 194 fps. The buddy of mine, Ted, who called for me, had never seen anyone shoot an animal with a recurve. After the shot, he said that he couldn't get over how easily the arrow blew through the bull's chest.

I have noticed this also, since Dwight has taken over as editor it seems as though trad is getting a lot more ink.  Joe
