Skip to contentMany people today are concerned about health: Health for themselves, health for the environment, and health for future generations. Seemingly endless studies on which ever-present chemicals, additives, preservatives, and seed strains are bad for humans and the environment leave us searching for good alternatives from the long, convoluted food supply and distribution network.

Ask any bowhunter what activity puts them at maximum risk for a heart attack and you may get answers like shoveling snow, pushing a stuck car, or taking part in a triathlon. While these are all certainly stressful, the activity near or at the top for causing a potential heart attack is dragging [...]
As bowhunters, we spend a lot of time in the woods, forests, and hills alone, often times many miles from home…or from help should something happen. We have all heard stories of hunters being lost, hurt, or killed in the wilds every year. I have a friend who fell out of a tree [...]
The December wind spiking off the Gulf of Mexico was a bitter, damp 25 degrees as we waited our turn for the pontoon boat to shuttle us over to legendary Saint Vincent Island. Thanks to the wind chill I’ve never been colder, since most of my hunting occurs in the heat and humidity of [...]
Back in the early days of bowhunting, ground blinds were the norm and it was considered unsportsman-like to shoot an animal from a tree.

The big advantage to tree hunting is that [...]
Krik of Black Owl Outdoors thoroughly yet simply explains how to navigate with just a compass and a map. Regardless of why and how you spend your times in the great out of doors, you should at least know the basic of map and compass navigation and basic orienteering. [...]

Well, without further ado…may we present the first bow to be reviewed in Bow’d Up! Our first victim is the BearPaw Chapman 58” recurve. The Chapman is inspired by BearPaw’s popular one-piece, 60” Creed recurve. Both bows are considered to be the foundation of BearPaw’s Penthalon premium line. The goal with the Penthalon [...]
Well, by now the cat should be out of the bag. Even though Chris Parrino (the instigator of the Bear licensed Selway quivers) has been leaking out a few of these here and there, he informed me that this year’s Compton Rendezvous would mark the official release of the new Grayling Brown quivers. [...]
I remember back when I first started reading TBM, always flipping to the bow review column that was written by Blacky Schwarz. Even though I’ve never considered myself a “technical” person, I couldn’t help but be intrigued by the performance data plainly set in black and white. We can all agree that there are [...]
