About Volume 2: HIGH COUNTRY

The mountains don’t care if you make it out.

You’ll start where survival comes first. From Alone, Season 11, Timber Cleghorn strips it to the bone with a no-frills Survival Guide on backcountry meat prep, lessons forged in the field, not in theory.

You’ll feel the bowhunter’s dream hit its mark in The Way It’s Supposed to Happen with Mike Haynes and a royal bull at twelve paces. You’ll climb with Jim Eeckhout in The Lost Hiker Mountain Goat Hunt, where near disaster turns to triumph. And you’ll fight through mistakes, madness, and raw self-reliance in Mark Sasser’s solo mule deer story, Into the Clouds.

History comes alive in Art Young: High Country with a Longbow, where one pioneer proved the longbow’s worth against Yellowstone grizzlies. Adrenaline erupts in Shane Mowery’s Drop the Gate, when wolves, lions, and a redtick hound named Rip turn the mountain loose. And in Staying Power, South Cox lays out what it really takes to bowhunt mule deer and elk in the high country: the grit, the gear, and the willpower that separate those who quit from those who last AND MORE.

This is more than a magazine. It’s the hunt, the struggle, and the survival told the way it was meant to be.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of arrow speed can I expect from my bow?

(This question is one that we are asked most often) This is a very tough question to answer, as there are numerous variables involved in the determination of arrow speed. Long draws and smooth releases will aid in increased arrow speed and vary from shooter to shooter. Just remember that you need to shoot at least 8 to 11 grains (we recommend 9-11 or more; especially with long draw lengths of 29 inches or more, which can significantly increase the possibility of limb tip damage when using a high performance bowstring) of arrow weight per pound of bow that you draw. The answer is not set or simple so we recommend that you contact us with the specifics of your setup and we will try to help you get a good idea of your arrow speed.

What length of bow/poundage should I get?

We recommend that you order your bow length based on your draw length, measured to the far side of the shelf. Refer to the catalog for draw length recommendations. More than one length may work. As for the poundage, if you shoot a compound and are new to traditional archery, you would probably want to drop about 25% from your compound weight. If you are shooting a traditional bow now of a different brand, keep in mind that Black Widow bows, as well as several other high performance traditional bows, shoot much harder than bows made twenty or thirty years ago. So don’t over bow yourself. We have found that 45 – 55 pounds should be enough bow for most small to medium sized game animals. Ken preaches accuracy-accuracy-accuracy and that comes from being able to control your bow.

Which model should I choose?

We try to base the answer to this question on what you are going to use your bow for. Hunting, target/3-D, recreation, etc. The PMA series is the “old naildriver” and is considered the best choice by our tournament shooters. Those of you who like to take the longer shots might want to look at thePMA. The PSA was designed due to the number of instinctive shooters in the market requiring a shorter hunting bow without using sights. The PSA is a good choice for most bowhunters. The PTF series is basically a one-piece version of the PSA and is favored by bowhunters due to its simplicity and light weight. The PSR recurve was designed with the romance of the 50’s. It's short and maneuverable for blind or tree stand hunting. It has the exact same grip and riser as our PL longbow, which makes it unbelievably easy to switch back and forth between these two bows. Finally, thePL. It is one of the smoothest longbows you will ever shoot and the transaction from a recurve to this bow is as easy as it gets.

How does the DEMO BOW program work?

We have a fleet of demo bows available for our customers to try in their own backyard. In order to try one out, you must first call us to determine which bow is for you and it’s availability. Then, you may use a credit card or money order to pay us for the cost of the model you have selected, plus UPS Ground shipping to you and back to us. You may then keep the bow for approximately one week and return it to us. We will either credit you back for the cost of the bow or roll it into a new bow order. If you order a new bow, shipping will be no charge. The bottom line is that if you demo and decide not to buy at this time, you are out about $50.00 in most cases for 2 way shipping. If you order a bow, you are only out half of that amount
