Bow International Magazine

Issue 199: 3D & Field Special. One for the outdoor lovers, this issue aims to help elevate your game. We start with a very special report from the 6th World Nomad Games in Kyrgyzstan and follow with several expert technique features: Felicity May prepares a recurve archer for their first field shoot; Rob Jones shares expertise with traditional archers on how to master footing on any difficult terrain; and Alex Tyler investigates distance judging through various NFAS disciplines. We go shopping for compact monoculars and ever-so-useful rangefinders and pick the wackiest 3D targets around. Dr James Park presents his latest research findings on carbon and carbon/aluminium shafts, while MJ Rogers and Paralympian Kevin Mather reflect on 3D and Field accessibility. We also review Last Chance Archery’s latest Genesis fletching jig and start a three-part series on the English longbow; Part I focuses on the anatomy of the bow, its materials, and its properties, looking at self-bow and laminate types. We hope you catch the outdoor bug!
