In This Months Magazine
All the hard work and time we put in to the site and magazine are well worth it, especially when we get behind the scenes access to see and handle 500 year old warbows. Steve and Andy went to take a look at the Mary Rose collection and meet archeologist Alex Hildred.

2010 saw the 4th annual 3D archery festival in France. Andy has been to the previous 3 events so packed his bags and headed off to Tours in central France for this years event. Extreme heat, speaking only a small amount of French and some extreme terrain didn't put him off his game, read how he got on.
It's no secret that Border make some of the finest bows in the world, but the bows don't come out of thin air. So this month we take a quick peek behind the brand and spend 10 minutes with Sid Snr one of the driving forces who has made Brorder Bows one of the most lusted after makes. Archers Review News
