5.0 out of 5 stars Must for the starters, June 6, 2000

This review is from: Archery (Know the Sport) (Paperback)

A must read for archery enthusiasts, taking up the sport. The book lays out the basics, and something really important for the beginners, "common mistakes or pitfalls". Gives a good direction of where to go and what not to do in a hurry of taking up the sport. Very good toddler's steps.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really Good For Basics, January 6, 2006

This review is from: Archery (Know the Sport) (Paperback)

This book is absolutely great for describing the basics of Archery. It walks the reader thought all of the begining steps to enjoying the sport. Additionally, it encourages people not to rush out and buy equipment. Taking your time in purchasing archery equipment is critical to making sure that you get stuff that you like and stuff that fits you. The book could be a little better when describing how to aim. It doesn't talk about reference points or point of aim. Otherwise, the book is great.
