Hi guys. A bit of news I would like to share.
I have designed and drafted what I call a Traditional Bowhunting ‘eMagazine’. Basically it’s like a standard magazine but is emailed (in this case) Bi-Monthly to anybody who wants it – bit like a SUPER SIZED newsletter. The format will be Adobe PDF so everybody should be able to read it. It will be a combination of photos, stories, reviews and much more! The best thing, it’s free and, it’s all TRADITIONAL BOWHUNTING!
See below for an example of what to expect, Stikbow Hunter is a project I have wanted to work on for quite some time, but I was going to go full print with the idea. A good mate suggested I should try the ‘eMag’ method to gauge interest before lashing out cash to what may end being a fizzer.
I would like help in being able to supply any adventures, photos, how to’s, recipes and anything else you may think others would get use out of, to be able to put it in the magazine for all to share. Any articles, photos etc submitted for the magazine would not be used anywhere else for any other purpose. This is simply a form of sharing information amongst a community with common interests.
Although an Australian based mag, I welcome any story or article, photos etc from any TRAD bowhunter out there. I have posted this thread on many Trad forums so start sending in those articles and photos!
Please ensure if you do email me an article, that it is in Word format and that any photos sent, are as separate attachments and of high quality. No content will be modified unless for grammar, spelling and or; if the content is not deemed suitable for print. The same goes for photos so please keep em clean.
Below is the cover shot of the Premier Issue, released 18th Sep 2008.
I do hope people back this little idea up as it would be great to have all of the great stories, photos etc within a magazine dedicated to Trad bowhunting at arms reach (computer or printed hard copy), rather than sifting through page upon page of threads. This in no way should detract from regular forum input, as the eMag will tell the ‘full story’ where as forum threads usually just touch the surface.
I also welcome any Trad archery/bowhunting suppliers and companies to send me high quality adverts for inclusion if you wish. There is no charge and it will be seen both far and wide! I have already received great feedback and interest from those that have had a sneak peek.
Who knows, it may be popular enough to have printed and distributed if there is enough interest as I have friends in the printing game who are keen to help out. It wont be full gloss color like the major players! But, it may very well be in the form of the 'Backwoodsman' etc, think early early Archery Action. Adds to the feel fo Trad.
This is non profit! I love Trad bowhunting and this is a fun project for me. Thanks guys and stay safe.
If you want the eMagazines, simply visit http://www.stikbowhunter.com where you can download the PDF eMags and more. The site is still under conctruction but will not be too far away. In the meantime, if you would like a copy and did not get on the original list, email me and Ill shoot a copy off to you. Thanks.
