5.0 out of 5 stars Bow and Arrow Review, April 28, 2003

Chris Kuntz (North Vernon, IN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bow & Arrow: The Complete Guide to Equipment, Technique, and Competition (Paperback)

The book Bow & Arrow is an excellent book for all levels of archers. It has a large variety of step-by-step photographs emphasizing the key skills of the sport. It also covers the equipment, techniques, and rules for all kinds of types of archery competition rounds. Practice drills are shown step-by-step to help one learn quickly. It has many sections on choosing a bow to fit you, selecting and assembling arrows, adjusting arrow rests, installing accessory equipment, safety rules, form basics, bow tuning, and target, field, and unmarked-distance archery. Many pictures and diagrams help explain the material and its procedures. All the material is explained and is very simple to understand for even the archery illiterate.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Technical Manual, December 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Bow & Arrow: The Complete Guide to Equipment, Technique, and Competition (Paperback)

Bow and Arrow is one of the best Archery tech manuals I have read. Begineers wanting to know more about the technical side of the recurve or compound should pick up this book. Lots of good info on arrow setup and tuning too. Nice!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Elementary Larry Wise, June 22, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Bow & Arrow: The Complete Guide to Equipment, Technique, and Competition (Paperback)

An excellent introductory book but if you have been shooting for some time, you might find it too elementary. Seventy-eight pages of this book is a printed copy of the NAA or NFAA constitution and by-laws which are useless if you do not shoot in USA and also can be lifted off the internet. That said, Larry Wise is Larry Wise and he gives pieces of priceless advice for beginners
