Bow International Magazine

Issue 178: This Ultimate Gear Special brings you 12 pages of the best of everything. Inspired by the 2024 Games, we put together three Olympic recurve kits for different budgets, and took a closer look at top 2024 rods. Duncan Busby has compiled a selection of the best compound bow accessories for the archer and the bow, to make tuning and outdoor game most comfortable. Juan Carlos Holgado shares his world expertise on technique & skills; Wilco van Cliff-Bolton talks about his switch to barebow and challenges that a 7ft tall archer may encounter. Our experts talk about confident shot execution, good journal-keeping, and arm strength. In Part I, Jan H. Sachers presents his archery literature overview, starting with the middle-ages, and our guest historian presents a spectacular feature on the field archery precursor, “the bonnaro”, aka archery golf. Our staff review Hoyt’s GMX riser paired with Axia limbs, and we give away another Last Chance Archery bow scale, this time the HS4, the hand-held model. Enjoy!
