by "IA" I assume you mean Instinctive Archer? It was indeed a good magazine. I think the reason this issue of TBM is so very different is that they are experimenting with format. I, personally liked the last issue best of all--the one with the large small game section--but I'm sure lots of guys thought it was a waste of space.
I'd like to see a return of the old "Sylvan Archer", but I suppose it will never happen
