My mother in law just asked me what magazines I wanted for a school fundraiser. Does anyone subscribe to Bowhunting, Bowhunter, Outdoor Life, Field and Stream. Any suggestions?
-
Bowhunter is not too bad, it will have a small trad section every month.
-
only other one i can tolerate is "Deer and Deer Hunting". haven't subscribed in several years though. just too much advertising push in most of them for my taste.
-
Primitive archer
Bowhunter
Backwoodsman
All informative

Backwoodsman, Muzzleloader

Fur-Fish-Game is the only other mag I read. It's got a little bit of everything. TonyZ

I subscribed to Bowhunter Magazine since volume 1, issue 2. Recently sent them a letter requesting them to terminate my membership. Bowhunter Magazine was the one mainstream bowhunting magazine that in the past refused to accept stories or advertisement for crossbows. Times have changed. Crossbow advertisements are now prominent in that magazine. In addition nearly all their staff writers from the glory days are long gone. It was a great magazine in its day...now it is just another bowhunting magazine on the book store rack.
-
I really enjoy Bowhunting World and they have a renewed interest in trad gear lately. Regardless of you position crossbows are just going to get more popular so don't let that aspect take you away from publications interesting to all bowhunters.

Thanks guys...I made the decision to go with the combo pack of 24 issues of Outdoor Life and Field and Stream for 24.00. It went to a good cause and I still have my TBM to read cover to cover.
-
Bowhunter is the best. One of the editors is a trad guy as well as a few of their contributors so there is usually a good amount of trad stuff in there.
-
Fur fish and Game is a good mag
I had outdoor life and field and stream because I had not subscribed in yrs and I will never subscribe again, never even looked at the last several month, just filed them in the trash!!!!!
-
Bow and Arrow hunting mag. Denny Sturgis Jr. has a traditional column I think is one of the best. I have not renewed my subscription for a while. So you may want to check to make sure Denny is still a contributer.
-
I subscribed to Bowhunting and Petersons Bowhunter Magazine just for something different this year. I had been a loyal subscriber for years with Traditional Bowhunter, having every issue, but found myself letting my subscription expire a couple years ago with the changes in format. I like the idea of getting something physical in the mail to read each month, but neither of the above mentioned magazines will see a renewal for next year. They weren't bad, but just not great.
Of the other bigs not necessarily solely archery (Outdoor Life, F&S, etc), I always enjoyed Fur, Fish and Game most. Maybe I will give them a try again. I have tried some of the smaller pubs, trad world, prim archery, etc and just didn't find enough to keep me interested.
If you find a good one, please let us know!
Would definitely like to hear from more about Bow and Arrow.

I get Stick and String and it follows my tastes . . . mostly. Traditional Bowhunter is still my favorite.
-
I use to get them all. I think Bowhunter is the best, followed by Bow and Arrow. Petersons Bowhunting kind of lost its luster and I could never get into Traditional Bowhunter Mag. Bowhunter just has a good mix of everything.

Deer and Deer Hunting is about it anymore. Liked Bowhunter for many years, but it has gone with the rest of the herd plus recently started running xbow ads. I'm done with them.
-
PBS magazine is good, I also really like Eastman's Bow hunting Journal. Extreme Elk is another good one
-
Traditional Bowhunter, Compton's A Walk in the Woods and Primitive Archer is about it for me. Outdoor Life, Field and Stream, Bowhunter I have let go. The ads for ATV's, Viagra, Crossbows and non archery related stuff did me in.

PBS magazine

Fur Fish and Game

Have her donate to RMEF and you will get Bugle which is a very nicely done magazine without all the "Extreme", "Blood paving", face painting BS you see in almost everything these days...and you will be contributing to a great cause.

Compton's Traditional Bowhunters,PBS, Backwoodsman, Muzzleloader,Fur fish and Game, Backwoods home,

Fur Fish and Game gets my vote. Been the best for me for many years.
-
Bow and Arrow Hunting is pretty good. Used to like Petersons and Bowhunter, but there is too much tech there these days overall to subscribe. Still grab one of the rack from time to time.
-
another vote for deer and deer hunting lots of good info in there
-
Any good mags on Zinio?
-
I really like Western Hunter magazine. Nate Simmons and Ryan Hatfield used to be with Eastmans but now have this as a project. Tons of very useful info on back country hunting, which is what I am crazy about. I let my subscription to TBM go, figured I get better stories and info on this site when it comes to all things traditional :)
-
TradArcher's World - Low on advertising and high of good stories. It is a guality magazine.
Check out the Fall 2012 issue as I had an article in it. The story was about my bow and written from the bows perspective. Have another article ready to go about my lion hunting, just need to get the photos attached and sent.
