in reply to: 2 Blade double bevel and 3 blade vs single bevel #10180
MontanaFord wrote: Some time ago, in a past issue of Traditional Bowhunter, I believe there was an article on a similar topic. The topic question was more or less “Does a right wing feather matched to a right-handed shooter make them more accurate than a left wing for a right handed shooter” and I believe the information in the article pointed to a strong “YES”.
Perhaps Robin could find this article for us at some point, should she get a break from running the magazine and keeping TJ in line. LOL.
One thing to keep in mind, if you choose to shoot left wing feathers with a right bevel broadhead, is that the left-direction spin of the arrow actually has to stop in order for the broadhead to begin spinning ITS direction into the target, which will reduce penetration, possibly to a large degree on, say, a bone hit. If the arrow is already spinning the direction the broadhead will spin, it should actually help increase penetration, because then the arrow doesn’t have to stop its rotation in order to reverse itself.

I can’t find anything in the index that it was an article in TBM. If it was in Dennis’ tips I don’t keep track of those. What I did find was an old forum thread where this topic was discussed.

I’d better go see what T.J. is doing, now that you mention it. 😯 I think he was looking for a bazooka for grasshoppers.
in reply to: Drawn for Moose!!! #63513Congrats on the tag. Good luck. 😀
in reply to: Thomas Aquinas Daly prints… #52924David Petersen may know more about this, but I believe Tom only sells originals.
I also am a big fan of his work. He does have a great coffee table book that you might enjoy. I don’t think December Buck is one of the images in the book though. Here is a link to his site, http://www.thomasaquinasdaly.com
in reply to: Hunting Arrows for 2010 #49720Norbert, these are beautiful.
Where will you be hunting this year? What animals?
How about it guys. Anyone have a left handed bow just lying around that a new guy (and defender of our country) could use?
A quick browse through the inventory at Rocky Mountain Specialty Gear found a left handed Ben Pearson Hunter for $150. It is 45 pounds, which is a great weight to get started. Here is the link. Scroll down to the left handed section. This is a “classic” bow (old 😆 ) but they hold up well. Ask them what their return policy is before you buy.
in reply to: Bear Alaskan #34155A picture or two would really help the folks see what you have. There are instructions for posting photos in the Campfire Forum. I’d be happy to post them for you as well. Please email them to me at webmaster@tradbow.com
Steve started a thread a long time ago and we made it into an article. I am posting the thread instead because of the comments and feedback it generated.

T.J. and I got home late last night and it will be a few days before I get caught up on all the posts. THANK YOU, Dave for keeping two eyes on the forums while I was gone.
Patrick, a big shout out and THANK YOU for helping me sell a free gift. I saw the picture of Alexa and I was looking for the “Like” button. 😀
My favorite part of the Compton shoot is seeing all the kids/families with bows. Make plans now to attend next year, June 17-19. It’s always the third full weekend in June, and usually lands on Father’s Day Weekend.
Today the weather was much nicer. Cooler with a breeze and no storm. The auction and campfire went well. 😀
The storm last night was wet and wild 😯 but we didn’t have hail or downed trees like some folks in the area. I’m glad to be “camping” in a hotel cuz by the end of the day I was fried. It was great to meet Limblover, his dad and his new trad covert. Today I visited with Patrick and family and heard from many folks who visit the site and get the newsletter. A big shout out to Steve (and Gail) McDonald as well. Steve was busy today with the older kids blood trailing seminar.
Great memories, even if the weather isn’t always perfect. Anyone with pictures of this or other shoots is welcome to post them in the Family and Shoots Gallery.
in reply to: color of honey #21176It depends on the nectar from the flowers they visit. In my area there isn’t one specific flower so it is a mixed honey. Bees forage 3-5 miles so you have to have a lot of clover, or orange or whatever to call it that type of honey. Best thing to do is buy local honey though. It is much better, may help with allergies to pollen in your area and you support a local farmer/beekeeper.
So far, I haven’t got any honey off my one hive, but we are hopeful this is the year! 😀

Hey TTF, that was in the Apr/May 05 issue, which is still available in print through the shopping areas on this site.
As a side note, we have a department called Meet The Folks where you can read a bio on all the masthead writers and also see each article they have written for TBM. Just one more way to find old articles by your favorite authors.
in reply to: Bowhunt in Argentina #18527Hello Carbini, and welcome. Argentina sounds like a wonderful adventure and an undiscovered destination. When is the best time of year to hunt? Is it warm there when it is winter here?
in reply to: Appalachain archery Savage River bace hieght #15857Hey Bloodtrailer, did you find the brace height you were looking for? I can’t find anything online about Savage River bows but maybe Appalachian Archery can help you. I didn’t see much on their site for traditional bows but maybe it’s not updated. The website is http://www.appalachianarchery.com/
Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful. You might try calling 3Rivers, Kustom King or Archery Past to see if they are familiar with that bow or if they have a “best guess” estimate to start at. Most bows require some tweaking even when you start at the recommended settings.
Good luck.

I’ll get right on that! 😆
in reply to: IPad and Traditional Bowhunter #13064The upgraded software is not as expensive as I first thought so we will probably go with it later this summer. I don’t really need a survey count as we will probably go with it either way. I agree that it would be hard to read on the small screens, but the iPad reader would be a great benefit. I’m not sure if that would also work on the Sony and Kindle readers but this is where the industry is going.
Thankfully, most of our readers still enjoy a magazine in their hand and we will keep providing those as well. 😆 We’re all about letting our readers have choices in how they view the magazine, but the choice is yours.
