I would like to see a more military focus to the magazine related to the use of bows in warfare.
I would also like to see more technical data on bowmaking, arrow making and string making.
Too much hunting stuff...

The technical side Is not seen by the artisan side as being important! Probably enough said. Arvin

Military history would be great! Maybe not technical as quantitative, but how to, methodology, and technique.

I don’t believe that is the case. Facts and techniques discovered by the technical crowd benefits all of us. I just make bows, not artisan or tech. I cannot delve into the technical side of bow making, but I definitely use the end result of the data y’all patiently go through to make my bows better to an extent. Everybody has a place in this, and we all benefit from experiments and experience that the science driven bowyers bring.

Morgan I wish I could agree with you but it shows in the bow contest nearly every time. The artisan votes are for the art side and don’t care about performance . It won’t matter how good a bow will out perform the artisan , or they don’t know the difference. Most know the difference i would say. I love and respect the artisan side but that does not always mean it’s a superior weapon. It’s a bow contest. That been said keep your drawknife sharp and your arrows straight. Arvin
