5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable Reference, February 21, 2000

Cynthia Arnold (Hill AFB, Utah) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fundamentals of Bowhunting (Paperback)

Since I got my first compound bow this winter I researched at the library for books for beginners. I found this book and have not been willing to return it to the library. It is such a valuable reference I decided I should buy a copy. It covers information on proper stance and release, tuning your bow, what equipment and accessories are best for a certain person or situation, as well as hunting techniques. Dwight Schuh knows his stuff.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great overall for the subject, September 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Fundamentals of Bowhunting (Paperback)

I was impressed by the depth and breadth of the authors knowledge and presentation. It is quite readable and I will use it as a reference for years to come. Some of the advise was related to locale though. I took to heart his "stump shooting" concept as a fine idea and now that I am scouting and setting up my fall hunts I took my bow and some fields points. A hint from and eastern bow hunter... You'll have a hard time getting those arrows out of a hardwood stump! GREAT BOOK!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good on Fundamentals, Very Dated on Technology, August 3, 2006

Jay Petrell "Jay Petrell" (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Fundamentals of Bowhunting (Paperback)

This book was written in the late 1980's. Archery and deer hunting have progressed a great deal in the last 20 years.

Bows have changed, the arrows have changed, scent blocking clothing has been introduced and ground blinds have also given hunters additional choices.

On the positive side the author does know how to hunt and shoot and does a good job explaining how to do the same to the reader. An updated edition would be a very good idea.
