Needing propaganda
« on: October 14, 2011, 09:51:00 PM »
I have two friends I would like to tempt away from their compounds. We have shared many camps together and they are good people. I have seen the glint in their eyes when I let them shoot my bow when we are togther but they see it as some unattainable thing.  I would like to send them some propaganda this winter. What would you send them?

A traditional bowhunter magazine subscription, and depending on your situation offer them a "loaner" trad bow.

I agree with the TBA subscription. That magazine was one of the reasons I got rid of the wheels.

I think that would be a great idea!! I would not include the bow, it's such a personal thing, the one you have may not work for him.

Most kids are nervous when you take away their training wheels, but once they get the hang of it, they love it and wonder why they stuck to the wheels as long as they did.

*****Subscription to TBM is the best idea IMHO, as previously mentioned.

Another idea would be to give them a membership in PBS.  Since it is not strictly a Trad organization they will fit right in even with the wheels.  But there are so many Trad shooters that write for the magazine it is bound to rub off.  
Best to simply expose them to the magic of the simple bows and legged it develop from within.  The TBM subscription is also a great idea.

living in utah it might be a long drive but if you could get then to one of the big traditional events like the Michigan Longbow Invitaional, Compton or Mo-jam. Its hard to resist the call when you are immersed in it
