I like Traditional Bowhunter awfully well but I haven't read Trad Archers World either so I can't give you a fair judgement just my opinion.

My preference is Traditional Bowhunter.  

Buy both magazines at a bookstore and see which one you prefer.

I also like both, but I have a subscription to TBM. Partly because you get 2 more issues per year with TBM (bi-monthly) than ya do with TAW (quarterly). Both are great magazines though, & I don't think you can go wrong with either choice.

I have taken them both in the past, and they are both GREAT publications. I now only take Trad Archers World, but the main reason is because I am a member of so many different orgs that the periodicals pile up far faster than I can read them. I can usually find the time to read one of the quarterly publications before the next one comes out.   :laughing:   I now go by the news stand and but a copy of TBM and Primitive Archer when I see something of interest.
Another one you may want to consider is a digital subscription to Stick and String. It's well done, and the fact that it's digital, I don't have a pile of magazines sitting around my chair irritating my wife!

Both are good. But both are very different. That's an apples or oranges type of choice. I enjoy both of them all the time.

I have a subscription to Traditional Bowhunter.   I have read several copies of TradArcher's World and will soon order a subscription to it. At the price of each, it may be possible to get both. If not, read several copies of each one and simply pick the one that best holds your interest. Also, you may want to check out Primitive Archer.

I feel they're both worth subscribing too. The way I look at it, it's about $75 per year for subscribing to TBM, TAW and Tradgang.  Nothing else can entertain and enlighten me in my traditional archery passion more than that investment.

I agree that both are good magazines. I let my Trad World subscription lapse but should re-up. Traditional Archer is a very well put together. I've never had a Trad Archer subscription but I never fail to buy it on my local news stand.

Personally, I'd be more interested in magazines that were 100% moose and sheep hunting. I know such a specialty magazine would probably be an economic flop.

Deer stories are becoming a bit like turkey hunting with shotguns or bass fishing too me. Too ho-hum for my interests but I've been reading and watching those stories for too many decades.

I like them both.  Maybe Trad Archers World a little better, maybe not. We are fortunate to have both of the mags you asked about.
