Good Comprehensive text book
7 Jan 2004
Format:Paperback
This is a comprehensive text book covering the history, equipment, and skills of archery. It also includes information on target and field sports as well as hunting and physical conditioning. One complaint is that it reads like a college text book and the pictures are black and white. I had hoped for more and bigger pictures illustrating techniques. This book is for adults. Kids will be bored with it. It is extremely detailed, but sometimes hard to read with sentences like "The remaining three fingers are placed or 'hooked' on the bowstring at or slightly past the first or distal interphalangeal joints of your fingers." Overall you can't complain about a lack of information. You just might wish it were faster and lighter reading.

It has many special sections on different types of bows and bow hunting. Archery covers the basic and advanced skills, allowing you to master the techniques at the speed you see fit.
