The latest Bowyers Journal

[archenemy]

I just want to give Tom Colstad 2 thumbs up for the latest TBJ issue. I got it yesterday and have to say I its the best one I've ever read. A Great story by George Tsoukalas and a good way to get back to the basics in Keys to Good Instinctive Shooting by Dale Klug. I also liked The 'Pressure' Target by Tom himself. I am going to steal his plan and make a couple of whitetail targets like his elk. The Merkel method selfbow is also a great read. There are several more stories I have yet to read. Can't wait to pick it back up tonight.

I wish I could write.  I would really like that mag to make it and all of us reading it and participating can help that along.  I like to read about it and even though I have never made a "primitive" bow, I will some day soon.

Wow. I wish i was retired so I could do all the things I really want to.

Havn't gotten the latest issue yet. Wonder if they remember I'm a subscriber...

Thanks for the nice comments on the Winter 08 Bowyer's Journal, guys. I had lots of help with the Winter issue from several contributing writers and hope to enlist more talented story tellers from the ranks of the magazine's readership and TradGang members in upcoming issues of TradArchers' World. The premier issue of TradArchers' World magazine will be out in early March. As with The Bowyer's Journal, TA World will feature various bow making and traditional archery equipment crafting stories as the "core" of the magazine. Just about anything else we do with our sticks and strings is fair game for stories, too. I want TA World to involve all areas of traditional archery and show the casual reader the great fun we have. Maybe, those readers will think, "Those people really look like they are having fun. I'd like to try that, too!" I will strive to improve the magazine with every issue.

Tom will have a booth at Kalamazoo in a couple of weeks.  Make sure to stop by and sign up if you don't already get it!  Nothing wrong with TBM, but I sure think there is room for another magazine within our ranks.
