 A must for the newbie April 14, 2005
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
My wife bought me this shortly BEFORE I bought my bow. I suppose she got sick of hearing me talk about getting into archery and felt this would help appease me (or even change my mind). She was right. I ended up with my face buried in this book for weeks, and then even more after I bought my bow and began shooting.
It covers a lot of ground for the beginner. Detailed explanations of terminology, the history of bow types, techniques, and even sources for equipment can be found here. There are a multitude of photos to accompany the chapters, which help to illustrate the topics of discussion (unlike those found in some other archery books, which have nothing to do with anything being discussed).
So, if you're new to archery or are switching from a compound to instictive shooting, this one comes highly recommended.

I have just recently started archery as a hobby, and have found this book to be very helpful. The book covers all of the basics, and lists a variety of different options for styles and equipment. By covering all areas, it gives you a good idea of what is out there and makes you more familiar with the wide world of Archery. Also, the author ties in many of his own personal experiences, which makes it a little more upbeat in comparison to some other drier books. It's only weakness is lack of depth in certain areas. This lack of depth makes it an excellent starting point for the novice archer, yet not much help in any higher levels.

This book is excellent for instructing one in fine-tuning a traditional bow (recurve or long), and matching arrows to such a bow... among many other things.

The book looks promising but alas, fails like an arrow with wet fletchings, and only 1 star rating because I can't have none.
