This seems to be an update of a previous book of the same title and two of the three authors. I bought the original version for review in the magazine I edit, Archery Focus. I bought the newer version thinking it a different book, which it is ... somewhat. Possibly the third author was added in an attempt to fix all of the mistakes in the first effort.

There is little to recommed here. Much of the photography (including the cover of the original version) is not only unhelpful but also incorrect and misleading. The same can be said for much of the technique advice.

We did not review the book in Archery Focus as we avoid negativity in its pages, but I do not want to see beginning archers wasting their money on this book. Go take a lesson from a certified coach instead.
