I am brand new to archery. I heard about this book from forums on the Internet and purchased it from Amazon. I am glad I made that decision. After talking with the pro at our local archery shop, I knew that I would eventually want to shoot a back tension release and Larry Wise outlines a good program that would lead to success. I ordered a bow and in the five weeks spent waiting for it to arrive, I practice with the string loop and my release on a daily basis. It has paid off. I am not there yet but an headed in the right direction. Also, Larry points out the importance of relegating all of components of making a good shot to the subconscious - except for aiming - focusing on the target. I know this to be a sound concept from all the years I spent target shooting with pistols, rifles, and especially shotguns. The book also gives some good advice on how to practice - have a specific goal and concentrate on that one thing. The book is an easy read. I read it the first time in one evening. If you are like me, you will refer back to it frequently. If you are serious about archery, this is a must read.

This book is short and sweet, and to the point. The point being, shooting more consistently. Mr. Wise explains how to unlearn the bad habits we have all formed in naive, self-taught archery. He goes in-depth about how to get rid of the muscles which will fail you in your shot, while using the correct muscle groups. These muscles are the core of Core Archery, along with a set of habits that will lead you into a better focus routine. I think anyone who desires to take their archery to the next level must give this book a shot!

An excellent book that should be "compulsory" reading for any person serious about archery. If I read the book when I started archery I would not have had to unlearn the many bad habits I learnt or have been taught over the past three years.

A clear and practical step by step guide to get any serious archer in shooting his best shot.

If you want to learn the fundementals of archery this is the best book for it. I have read many books on archery and this book clearly and percisly walked through each step of the shot. I feel i have a better understanding of each shot i take now.

Very informative. Excellent for teaching a beginner. I use it in our 4-H Club. We have had excellent results. Have even seen seasoned archers scores improved.

Rather short with precious few pointers but well organized and coherent. Decent pictures.

IMHO not for the advanced archer.
