Thanks for the kind words, Paul. Special thanks go to Brad "Little Tree" Merkel for sharing his "Self bows- Bending Static Recurves" story, Jack Harrison for his step-by-step article on making a one piece longbow into a takedown, to George Tsoukalas for his "Nock! Nock!" story on building self nocks, and Dan Little for his "cresting classification" story. There also are stories on achieving better accuracy, overcoming target panic, bow profile by Blacky Schwarz, a couple of "average Joe" hunting stories and much more. The Premier Issue of TradArchers' World is available via subscription at
www.tradarchersworld.com. PS: I'm encouraging "veteran" hunters to submit "first traditional harvest" stories to share with the readership for the Summer issue of TradArchers' World (printed early June). I think it will be interesting reading about the different paths taken to achieving that goal.
I'd also like to see more traditional archery enthusiasts become more involved in sharing their experiences, knowledge, photos, art and wit with their fellow tradarchers in this magazine.
Sincerely, Tom Colstad
