Welcome, and thank you for checking out TradArchers' World, the magazine dedicated to traditional and primitive bow making that also features how-to articles on making the traditional archery equipment that complements our bows and arrows, including quivers, tabs, armguards and strings. The magazine is balanced off with some history, bowyers' interviews, hunting adventure stories and articles about having fun in the traditional archers' world.
Hours with draw knife and scraper had passed; piles of shavings littered the floor. Progression through various grits of sandpaper was complete.

Seconds turned to minutes, and his knees turned to jelly. Finally, just as he could take it no longer, the doe stepped forward and offered a broadside shot, and just maybe a perfect ending to perfect week. (Winter 2008)
