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.

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!!!

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

very good book! Only thing missing is how to string a recurve

This is not an up-to date book but it covers a lot of basics that should be very helpful to the novice

If you are a beginner or an expert you need to read everything Larry Wise has written. I have taken lessons from him personally in Back Tension and read all his books. Larry is a retired math teacher and knows how to structure archery in a logical method conducive to learning. He also can tune and fit yor bow so that you can focus on technique and not worry if the equipment is at fault.

I am a certified instructor and Larry is someone I would go to to improve my own shooting technique.

Taking up archery after a too-long hiatus, I needed a source of information for all of the new technology that has come on the market in recent years. The knowledge that I gained from this book allowed me to select the compound bow that was right for me, along with the accessories that made shooting the bow a pleasure.
