New Aussie Traditional Bowhunting Venture - Stikbow Hunter eMagazine

[Benny Nganabbarru]

G'day Fellows,

A fellow Aussie TradGanger from Sale (Victoria) who has far too many longbows for his own good, by the name of Guy "Gundy" Curtis, has put his blood, sweat and - well, I'm not sure about any tears (Gundy?) - into producing a free online bi-monthly eMagazine dedicated to hunting with traditional bows in Australia, from the mountain forests to the interior deserts (and anywhere else in between these two places). Gundy's drummed-up support from traditional bowhunters across our fair island continent, and has (and continues to) put in long hours as editor and computer whiz, putting it all together. The various authors contribute their articles free-of-charge, in order to promote our classic endeavour. Many of our modern-minded brethren here in Australia are being enthralled by this promotion of the fun, challenge and deadly beauty of longbows and recurves.

Anyway, feel free to check-out the website:  www.stikbowhunter.com  . You'll be able to download the first edition of this eMagazine, and Gundy tells me the next edition will be out within a week.

In the current issue (Sept. / Oct. 2008), there are bowhunting adventures, product reviews, a recipe, and bowhunters' showcases.

If ever you've visited our lovely country and have a yarn or picture you'd be happy to share, I'm sure Gundy'd love to hear from you!

Thanks for checking it out, and we'll be sure to keep you posted when new editions come out.

Cheers, and all the best as you fellows get amongst the whitetails,

Ben

Donwloaded the e-Zine couple weeks ago, it was free and was an awesome read!! Hats off to you guys over there for getting it up and running

Great reading. Thanks for letting us know about this.

[Night Wing]

Love the magazine.  

[Benny Nganabbarru]

Glad you like it, fellows. Gundy's put his heart and soul into it. He's also informed me that he would be happy to include the odd story from places other than Australia, too. He tells me he's actually been day-dreaming about whitetail since he was a kid, so I think he'd like to see a whitetail story. Cheers, Ben

I was highly impressed with the first issue, obviously a LOT of work went into it.  Gundy has done good, can't complain about the price either!

Ben, tell Gundy to keep on it.  I signed up when he first posted about it and enjoy it.  Saw you in there, too!

Keep the wind in your face,

Ben, I enjoyed your article in Bowhunter Australia. Glenn Newell and I trade books occasionally and he recently sent me that magazine. I see where the avitar came from. Good one! CK

Great Read Ben thanks for passing it along. It's just what I needed to keep informed for my hunt on Cape York in 09 with Mic.

[Benny Nganabbarru]

Glad you liked it, Curtis! It's funny thinking that that story wound-up in the USA. My mate Matt Wright has since well-and-truly been bitten by the traditional bug, and has sold his wheeled bows and shoots a BW longbow. He's doing good with it, too.

Thanks for the positive comments guys and Ben, as usual, thanks for the support!

I just have to finalize a knife review for the next issue and it will be available for download.

Like Ben said, if anybody has a story from across the pond they would like to include within future issues, I would be more than happy to include it.  Particularly if it involves my childhood dream of a Whitetail Buck.....    

Stay safe friends.

As you already know mate, top effort. Stickbows are getting big here in Oz.

Thanks Al.  Expect an email in a day or so...
