A book, the potential of which has not really been realised.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Archery (Backyard Games) (Paperback)
This is an American publication and, as such, focusses entirely on the FITA aspects of competetive archery, rather than the GNAS, which governs the sport in Britain.It covers the basics adequately enough, but suffers greatly from a paucity of illustrations, to the detriment of the novice. It also, to my mind, devotes too much space to FITA rules and regulations, which are available elsewhere in greater detail, and neglects entirely many of the technical aspects of archery, especially the fundamentals which every novice needs, like basic bow set-up and tuning. If you come to this book as a complete, no-nothing novice, you will undoubtedly learn somethinhg from it, but it serves primarily as a springboard to more comprehensive books.

Honestly a handbook,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Archery (Backyard Games) (Paperback)
In a world where many books promise a lot and finally appear to offer the half of that, this is a book that keeps it's promise: It is a useful handbook; just what it claims to be. And yes, it is a good handbook for beginners in archery -like me, for example-. It provides the reader with useful tips and secrets of this wonderful and so special sport, without underestimating the new athlet. Frankly, it helped me a lot when I first started with archery but that's not the reason I like it the most; It is focused on the theme and the author doesn't let himself be carried away by peddling details and useless comments, but in the same time, it exhausts the most important things as much as it's necessary so that they are completely apprehensible by the simple reader.In a few words: it is as good as it claims. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

Good Beginners Book,
By Andrew Kleewein - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Archery (Backyard Games) (Paperback)
This book is short, sweet, and to the point. It covers the basics about form and follow through and all of the essentials that you need to know when you are learning how to shoot, or even if you are just looking to improve your form. It includes several checklists and even a whole chapter dedicated FAQ. It has lists of problems, and then explainations on how to fix them. Overall, this book is well worth it.
