4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent description of shooting technique and problems., 29 Mar 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Archery (Steps to Success) (Paperback)

This is a very clearly presented factual book that is particularly good in describing the technique of shooting arrows. It describes each step throughout a shot, from taking ones stance, holding and raising the bow, drawing, anchoring, aiming and releasing the arrow. It is particularly good and unusual in that it recognises common shooting faults and gives a list of probable causes for each. This is very useful for both beginners and intermediates who, without a coach in regular attendance, may need to diagnose and correct their own shooting faults. I have a copy of this book myself and thoroughly recommend it both for a one-off read and as a regularly consulted reference.

This was the first book I bought on archery. I was not disappointed. It gave very clear and simple steps. As a beginner the most important stages were on good form and how to acheive it. It basically opend up the world of archery to me and helped me to enjoy and improve my archery. A very good buy, you will read this many times.
