Bow Bum is right.

It would be great to see more trad oriented magazines on the market, even though I like TBM.

Henry wanted to read the Bear story but it got too scary so we read the squirrel one instead.

That is great stuff right there.  I comment often with "thanks for sharing" and mean it, but this one seems different "thanks for sharing!" Awesome.  Two lucky men right there...

YEAH I BUY IT OFF THE NEWSTAND .BUT I HAVE SUBSCRIBED .WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BOWTESTS?

Writing is hard work (I know from experience). Writing is not just a good story, there's a lot of mechanics involved in the process. I received my share of pink slips (rejection notices) over the years trying to hone my skills. You can be a great story teller around the campfire but putting that sucker down on paper is a whole 'nother thing. My hat is off to those who do it. It took me eighteen years to get my first novel accepted. Just finished my sixth and it wasn't any easier (but less than eighteen years   ).

Like someone else noted, try the wheelie mag just once.

I really enjoy the magazine, Have been a subscriber for about 8yrs now. The thing I like most is the hunting stories don't start with "I was at so&so outfitters and let at least 10 shooter bucks walk past, didn't meet the minimum"

This. Modern archery magazines are noting but high gloss ad binders for high tech gear. Yes, there are a couple of writers in TBM that I don't care for. But it is the best magazine out there.

Be honest I lost interest and respect for them over a couple of the editors opinion articles. I won't elaborate due to the fact that it'll guaranteed start something. But bottom line I just don't wanna put my money there anymore. I get regular Bowhunter mag bc my family buys it off the school magazine fund raisers and will occasionally enjoy one of the no-wheels articles but that's about the limit of my reading. Too busy building, shooting and hunting with curves to spend a lot of time reading about it.

It's what converted me over to traditional archery back in 1995.Ordered my first longbow kit after seeing a binghams ad in TBM .I haven't looked back.Great magazine in my opinion.

Too much to read hear.  Don't have time to read a mag.
