Title: Traditional Bowyers Bible, vol 4
Post by: Pat B on March 09, 2007, 02:38:00 PM
Jim Hamm announced this morning on Primitive Archer that a new edition(#4) of the TBB series will be out next year. Along with some of the origional contributers like Paul Comstock, Jim Hamm, Tim Baker, Steve Allely and Jim Welch will be some familiar names to all of us...Mickey lotz, Marc St Louis, Steve Gardner and Jaroslav.
   I'm personally looking forward to this long awaited addition to a great set of books. Pat

YES, been looking for some more reading material.  Plus 3 books don't look right on the shelf, need a 4th to make it look balanced.

Mickey, They have guys that do bows, but they don't have anyone that does arrows...like the Ferret!!!   I'm glad to see their horrizons spreading to the "new" archery main stream.   Looking forward to reading your section....heck, all of it!   Pat

I talked to Jim Hamm at the Great Lakes Longbow shoot (about a million years ago it seems) and he said "nope, there wont be any more volumes". I was bummed out because the first three were so good. Glad to hear he (they) changed their minds.
