Default RE: Petersen's Bowhunting - Bow Reviews - Why Bother?

Not all reviews are worthless. Norb Mullany's reports in Bowhunting World are very useful and informative... as long as you rely more on his charts and graphs rather than what the editors force him to write in his summary. I've seen several times where you could tell he was really stretching, trying to find ANYTHING good to say about a particular bow.

In fact, Mullany's reports are the only reason I take Bowhunting World. Take them out and the mag would be - BORING.

Most entertaining mag is Traditional Bowhunter. But I got tired of the anti-compound propaganda BS spewing from from TJ Conrads mouth every month...
Yeah, it do get a little deep sometimes, Jeff. But I like the fact that most of the stories in TBM are from 'real people' and not professional writers.

Same is true of 'Primitive Archer' magazine. You don't have to worry about wading thru much anti-compound stuff in that one. It's all about selfbows and making/hunting with your own gear. They hardly even acknowledge glass-n-plywood recurves and longbows exist, much less compounds.
