Title: Never even seen TBM before tonight
Post by: Friends call me Pac on August 25, 2010, 01:37:00 AM
I was buying a new file tonight and my wife told me there was a Hastings in the same little shopping square.  I thought she wanted to get something but that wasn't the case.  

Somewhere along the line she heard me talking about Traditional Bowhunter Magazine.  She thought it was worth a shot looking for it in Hastings.  I didn't even know they had magazine in there. Its not a place I visit very often, no sporting goods department there.  Low and behold there it was!  I haven't looked at it yet but I will in the morning.  

How often do they come out?

They come out every two months. Great read. I eagerly await the arrival of each one over here in Australia

You can also access all the old issues for a yearly subscription to the online version of there magazine. I do that as well. It is an excellent, entertaining resource: Tradbow.com

That magazine alone is responsible for me becoming a trad shooter.

Excellent magazine and excellent people too...they sent us a bunch of back issues AND some home made peanut brittle when I was overseas.

I had always assumed that most North American traditional bowhunters knew about the magazine.

Several years ago, a Canadian from northern Quebec, me, working up at caribou camp, introduced a lifelong American traditional bowhunter to the magazine. He was surprised at discovering it but not more than I was that he did.

As mentioned above, that magazine is what started me on my traditional journey.

I am not certain   ALL of the old issues are available.  I thought it was only the ones no longer available for sale  sold out in other words.   There are a bunch there.

Been getting it for years now.  All my other subscriptions have fallen by the wayside over the years, to the point that it's the only one I still receive.  That says it all!  I love it.  Like Killy said, I guess it ruinded me on all others!

Only read one story today.  I have to ration the enjoyment.  The article was about a father passing a bow down to his son.  Fast forward a few years and they were caribou hunting.  

I thumbed through the magazine but didn't read anymore tonight.  I can see how this magazine is a hit with a lot of people.

I too have let all other subscriptions expire.  Have been a subscriber since the beginning and last year had them all hard bound.
