 Excellent Advice July 22, 2008
A well written and informative book that is easy to read and understand and provides some excellent advice and exercises to improve archery form and shooting technique, in particular some valuable insights into what Target Panic actually is and how to control it.

This is the first book that I have read that has broken the steps of Traditional Archery shooting down in a pychological view. Jay's insights into how the mind works and learns are invaulable when applied to trad shooting. As your mind learns the correct methods of form, mental focus, imagery, and practice techniques, accurate shooting follows.
This book has heped me learn the proper practice techniques, both mental and physical, and become a more confident and accurate archer. I highly reccomend this book to anyone, whether they are already an accomplished traditional archer or just beginning their quest. Traditional Archery Insights by Jay Kidwell will help improve their accuracy along with their enjoyment of this sport.

I have just started in archery and this book did not answer my questions about the sport of archery. I wanted a book to tell me about target shooting, but this book is aimed at experienced hunters.
So, if you are an experienced hunter looking for a way to get around target panic this might be for you; however, if you want to shoot at a stationary target buy something else. Much of the book deals with shooting in a traditional fashion, such as not using sights (line up along the arrow and cant the bow) and how to let the string roll off your fingers.
I shoot with sights and I use a mechanical release (this is a string holding device and lets you release the arrow after pulling a small trigger). The book just doesn't deal with this type of shooting.

 Accelerate learning any repetitive tasks October 24, 2006
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I found this book on my shelf at home. I am not planning on taking up archery. But the subtitle about "accelerated learning through applied psychology" sounded like it might yet be relevant for other activities, so I read the book. You can get some good insights if you read it with software development in mind. Ask yourself which are the essential but repetitive activities that need to be carried out consistently, and learn what it takes to ensure that they get done right every time. Do that so you have time to focus on the much higher-level software tasks like design and coding. No, no explicit software hints in the book. But the psychological principles still apply. So if you read the book, let me know if it helped either your software or your archery.
