Bowhunter - Australia (New Annual Bow Magazine)
G'day Folks,
some of you will be aware of the project several people from TBGA have been involved over the past 10 months or so. Well, the light at the end of the tunnel is getting very close now. Here's a bit of a run down for those Ozbowians who perhaps have not heard about the mag project around the traps.
There are a few nicknames in here that some may not recognise from TBGA. My apologies for this but rest assured nicknames will be changed in publication to protect the men behind the myths
To quote "Antarcher" from TBGA:
Firstly, below is the cover. It will still have more detail on it and the stated 150 pages is incorrect. The mag will infact be a whopping 200+ pages. This is the main reason why it is taking longer and I do apologise to all who got their articles in early for the delay. .
Now to the content, and this is the best part. The mag will have, in its final version, around 45 separate articles. Here is a list of those articles and the writers who have contributed to give you an idea of what it will contain.
1. Mark Southwell (maxy) Has written one about his unreal hunt last year where he and his brother Paul took some great reds and fallow.
2. Mackadalegend Has written a how to one about hunting goats
3. Mick Mason (Jindydiver) Navigation tips and techniques
4. Marty Erlandson (Puk's cousin) first aid
5. Jodie Goodwin (jlw712) Twin goats taken at Tenterfield
6. Antony Goyen (Friar Tuck) Buying your first bow and has also compiled along with his field shooting guys articles on basic bow maintenance, d loop tying, and getting the most out of your string. He has also, along with dances with dingoes, done a 5 bow comprehensive head to head test.
7. Jamie Lynch an awesome NZ chamois hunt
8. Mick Baker (trophy bowhunts) features some fine kills by his clients
9. Antonio Lara (antarcher) tips on hunting deer
10. Justin (Hoyt Trykon) Higgins about his young bowhunting journey thus far
11. Paul Rea (Paul R) Taking kids hunting
12. Paul Southwell hunting foxes
13. Doug Stojanovski (ds) an NT buff hunt
14. Derek Webster his first goat
15. Damien (Bear) Tapper tips on hunting the Top End
16. Howard Griffin (Howie) Capturing your hunt on video
17. Ben Chambers (Arra Slinger) Hunting in WA
18. Andrew Morrow (Mozza) Tips on Fallow
19. Chris (Groovey Guru) Galvin a pig hunt
20. Daniel Purvis (Hunt or be Hunted) Taming rabbits
21. Luke D!ckson (thumper) Big couple of days up the cape
22. Dale Furze Sambar tips
23. Matty Hare (MattyH) his life's bowhunting
24. Daryl Bulger Tips on red deer
25. Pedro Ampuerro Castellanos (Tali) the bowhunting scene in Spain
26. Daniel Bajt goat and fox article
29. Rick O'neill (Ricochet) NZ trip with Mick Baker
30. Scott Goodwin (Scott) Tips on mountain boars
31. Sylvia Szabo (Fiend) Evolution into a goat hunting huntress
32. Shane Coppin (ozzyshane) His top 5 all time animals
33. Troy Reynolds Huge Rusa hunt
34. Grant Bowdy (Bowdy) Hare hunting
35. John Teitzel Buff hunt
36. Paul (Piggy) Thompson Sambar hunt
37. Jamie Harrington A how to knife building article
38. Paul Mayall His knife making business and tips
39. Ben Kleinig outback WA hunt
40. Glenn Newell Making selfbows
41. Bow review on one of Glenn Newell's new trad bows by Paul R
42. A compilation trophy takers number one’s and other fine animals
43. Ben MacDougall (Benno) Camel hunting in the red centre
44. Pete Novakovic (pego) Utilising your game
There still may be a couple of very last minute entries, but that is the list as it stands at the moment. As I have stated before i am looking very forward to getting this thing out and I am sure that the presentation of the articles will do all the writers justice for the fine efforts.
If anybody has any questions or comments then please feel free to let us know.
More to come soon!
Thanks for reading.

Hey folks, here's the latest update on the mag.
Again to quote Antarcher:
Not far off now people. Just doing the last finishing touches to get it to print and it will be out. He is the promotional ad of what it will look like and a little taste of what is in it. I am busting to get it out let me tell you.

Hi Luke
Have tried four Newsagents around my area today. Blank looks. Not to be seen anywhere.

Hi Jeff
That would be right - live in the big smoke cannot get a thing - live in the far flung reaches of the Empire and everything is available.
I intend to check if Abbey has any and if so I will grab one on the way to the range today - if no luck there I guess I will just get one sent up from Urban in Melbourne. At the current cost of petrol running around in the car soon chews up the cost of freight.
Just a tad peeved at the local newsagencies.

Morning All
Well guess what turned up in the mail. Yep, the magazine.
As you may have noticed I gave up on the local Newsagents and got one from Melbourne. Yes, I know it seems strange but at the current cost of fuel plus wear and tear the cost of postage is soon offset.
My opinion - great little mag" and worth the dollars spent. Particulary impressed by the bow review - nice to see a review where the numbers speak for themselves. Also the type size means I don't need spec's to read it - most of the time. Faded backgrounds with type over have never rated high with me.
Something to read over the next few months.

Re: Bowhunter - Australia (New Annual Bow Magazine)
i got mine yesterday not a bad read
Re: Bowhunter - Australia (New Annual Bow Magazine)
Just realised there were two threads on this mag! I sat for three hours and read it cover to cover, will go back and read again. The best article for me was the one on taking kids hunting but enjoyed them all, noticed some folks from here too! Good work! Hopefully more self bow/trad content next year?

Re: Bowhunter - Australia (New Annual Bow Magazine)
Yeah, next year's story from my end will be all or mostly trad, for sure. But, there were selfbows, recurves and longbows popping up throughout. I reckon it's an awesome magazine!

Re: Bowhunter - Australia (New Annual Bow Magazine)
That's fair enough Grahame but I don't think that really applied to the first issue as the general public didn't really know about it. I think it would then have been the editor's job to source a good spread of content. Perhaps he tried without success but the fact remains there is little Trad content, for the size of the mag, with the current issue. Hopefully that will change with the next issue.Have edited a few things in my time my comment would be, "You can only print what people contribute".

Re: Bowhunter - Australia (New Annual Bow Magazine)
Hi Jeff
I still am of the opinion it is a great effort and hope that they have another go next year.
I would like to see more on "other stuff" , but I don't know. Perhaps the breakup is representative of the numbers shooting various type in Oz. My experience is still that magazines publish what they can get.Stickbow Hunter wrote:...the fact remains there is little Trad content, for the size of the mag, with the current issue.

Ant tried to get more but wasn't able too. Many people were asked to contribute and there were quite a few who said they would but didn't get their stuff in on time. I think for a first effort the magazine is a roaring success and if Antonio's enthusiasm when he tells you of the plans for issue two are an indication of things to come then you can bet the mag will be not only bigger but better also
If you guys need more trad content then you need to get in touch with Antonio and talk with him about how you can help

Re: Bowhunter - Australia (New Annual Bow Magazine)
I very much doubt that Grahame but if it is than that is very sad IMO.I would like to see more on "other stuff" , but I don't know. Perhaps the breakup is representative of the numbers shooting various type in Oz.
Fair enough Jindy that is good to know. Perhaps asking folk through other online forums may have helped?Ant tried to get more but wasn't able too.
Agreed that this can happen for the next issue. For the first one the larger Trad community can't be blamed for the lack of content as they possibly wouldn't have known about it or been able to unless they knew Antonio or were a member of the TBGA.If you guys need more trad content then you need to get in touch with Antonio and talk with him about how you can help
Yeah it was/is a very well represented mag but I haven't read much of it yet. To me there just isn't much of interest for the Trad Bowhunter.I still am of the opinion it is a great effort and hope that they have another go next year.

Re: Bowhunter - Australia (New Annual Bow Magazine)
I don't know if anybody can truly appreciate how much effort has gone into this magazine and how much of a financial risk one person has taken to get it on the shelves. It's easy to say there is not enough of this or that but at the end of the day send in an article with the content that you would like to read and see how you go. This magazine was never a seceret, if it was then there would have been no articles in it. Antino worked with what he had and I think he and Luke did with the layout ect. have done a fantastic job. Support the magazine and buy it and send in articles for next year...Glenn...

Jeff[/quote]
I think if you read through the articles, you will find there is quite a bit of info that relates to trad hunting, the same as it relates to hunting with compounds.
There are quite a few articles that give you hints and tips on how to hunt different species, and I believe hunters can benefit from these tips regardless of what equipment they use.
I think they have done an awesome job, and set a new benchmark for Aussie bowhunting mags

G'day Jeff! That was a heck of a nice cat you took (no.1 Trophy Takers cat)! The magazine is pretty big, with new bits and pieces to discover with each meander through the pages. Cheers, Ben

Re: Bowhunter - Australia (New Annual Bow Magazine)
An awesome job done by both Antonio and Luke with this magazine. there is about three or four articles in the magazine about recurves or long bows, and photos showing "stick bows" that were used on the particular hunts, As Glen stated, send in your story for the next issue, do a "Trad" story and send it in.
Once again well done to Antonio and Luke for getting this magazine out.
Cheers,
Rick

Re: Bowhunter - Australia (New Annual Bow Magazine)
I know anything I say about this mag will be scoffed at , but , I will say it anyway
The Mag was/is basically a spin off from TBGA forum , so that limited it's content from the start , maybe thats why there is a lack of Trad content . Perhaps a lot more people could have been contacted to submit an article from different forums etc , then there would have been some different content , but as it stands , only the selected , were offered the chance to contribute Perhaps if the chance to contribute was offered throughout the whole bowhunting community, rather than just the site members , it would have had more varied content .
I would also like to see contributors rewarded for their efforts in making the Mag happen , as without them , there would be no mag . I also hope it doesnt become the same old stale stuff from the same old contributors , IE a MATES Mag .
Perhaps with input like this , as long as it is taken on board by the owners ,it may grow to be a Great mag
