Hope I didn't overlook a similar thread, but...
Impossible for me to believe that TBM is 20 years old with the issue I received yesterday! A friend showed me the first issue, I got a copy at the book store, and then subscribed and have every single issue.
Enjoyed the interview Don did with TJ/Larry and would love even more details as to the leap of faith they took in providing the magazine that so many of us treasure.
I recall the first issues just providing such a mind-boggling array of advertisers of products I couldn't find anywhere else. I switched to traditional bows in the fall of 1988 so my own conversion corresponded pretty close with the magazine's development and there is no doubt that TBM provided a lot of information and motivation over the years.
I would just like to thank TJ Conrads and Larry Fischer and their supporting cast for investing their time and money into the venture; I enjoy every single issue.
