1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated Material, April 14, 2000

This review is from: Archery-2nd Edition: Steps to Success (Paperback)

Read this book from cover to cover as an experienced archer and thought most of the information was superfluous. Authors tried to cover all aspects in a very brief amount of time and text. Methods are too standard stated in a matter-of-fact manner disregarding other theories, practices and methods. This book might be good for a boy scouts counselor but not a serious archer with goals of competition and proficiency. All illustrations are hand drawn leaving out critical detail.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book especially for beginners., May 2, 1999

This review is from: Archery-2nd Edition: Steps to Success (Paperback)

I'm a newcomer to the sport of archery. I could not have selected a better book to start with. I read the book completely before buying my bow and other gear. This helped immensely in knowing somewhat what I needed and wanted. The lesson plans and activities are easy to understand and very useful. I refer back to the book often. I highly recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Impressed, June 20, 2004

This review is from: Archery-2nd Edition: Steps to Success (Paperback)

I agree with another post that this book is primarily written for a summer camp counselor who is in charge of the archery course! I was probably dissapointed because I read this after reading the revised edition of Dr. Kidwell's book Instinctive Archery Insights. That book enlightened me, and helped my shooting, in ways I could never have imagined! This book, Archery: Steps to Success is pretty basic. If that is what you are looking for I guess it's OK.
