The Irish Foundation for Archery and Mentorship

The Irish Foundation for Archery and Mentorship TIFAM is a voice of archers in Ireland. We work for the benefit of the sport and the archery community. Join us! Thanks, TIFAM editorial Team and Admins.

The Irish Field Archery Monthly is a first Irish NON PROFIT periodical dedicated to archery in its broadest sense. We are an independent publication for the archery community on the island of Ireland and beyond.

​The aim of this introductions is not to present TIFAM at its best, but to shine a light on the true nature of the organisation, that is, all of us whose hard work and dedication have bui

lt this globally unique cultural-community-media entity. Since for us TIFAM is a living organism made up of dreams, sacrifices, tears and the sweat of hard work, but also filled with joy and a compelling sense of achievement. We are aware that we are building something so unusual and so unique that we could just as easily be called a unicorn of the media industry or the black sheep of business, as the pursuit of profit is our least prerogative. As you will read below, our objectives are different and have little to do with the prevailing profit-maximising drive of today. We see the world and its needs through the lens of those close to us, and this is rarely matched by a business approach. Besides, notions of the common good and social justice have always stood in contrast to fiscal calculations aimed at generating needs in order to secure opportunities for capital expansion. Which does not prevent the capitalisation of dreams being combined with capital growth. The point is in the approach to capital accumulation, in other words in the ethics of work and conduct, and in particular in the ethics of building and setting goals that are meaningful and socially viable. This is who we are and what our goals include - accomplished step by step, with effort but also with a smile upon our lips, hope in our hearts and faith for the people we want to help and for whom we roll up our sleeves every day. Our mission is to educate and promote the sport of archery by consolidating the archery community, exchanging information and sharing experience through discussions and articles. We focus on intercultural exchange by promoting local and international archery events. TIFAM is the magazine that integrates all associations, their club work and achievements on the island of Ireland and abroad. We write for you and about you, while encouraging you to participate in discussions on topics that fire up the archery community.

Archers of Eire and the rest of the world, Chapter 6 of Bowhunter is here!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
For over a century, the nation of Fohalin lived on borrowed time, thriving on the territory of a caged monster. Now, the deathly binds have been broken. 🐍💥
The gigantic Vainglory Typhon is free.
As the beast returns, it brings more than just obliteration. Fohalin's corrupt leadership shatters, leaving the devastated cities and terrified people to fend for themselves. 🏃‍♂️💨
In their place, an unlikely trio emerges from the chaos:
🙏 An excommunicated priest from a foreign land.
🏹 An unlucky and ungrateful hunter who sees a trophy in the beast.
🏴‍☠️ A pirate captain with a conscience, bound to the will of his ship.
They must now hunt a creature that doesn't just adapt to its environment—it forces the environment to adapt to its presence. 🌪️🌊
The hunt begins now.
