4.0 out of 5 stars
Honestly a handbook,
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Good Beginners Book,
By Andrew Kleewein (USA) - See all my reviews
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.
