Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The glory and romance of archery culminated in England before the discovery of America. There no doubt the bow was used to its greatest perfection and it decided the fate of nations. The crossbow and the matchlock had supplanted the longbow when Columbus sailed for the New World.

1.0 out of 5 stars No pictures or illustrations., January 9, 2007
I was very disappointed in this book. Do not expect the pictures or illustrations to be there. They are not. I bought this as a gift but thankfully I had it sent to me first and did not give it. I have never seen a book so poorly presented.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic archery title, July 31, 2008
I'm not sure what the previous reviewer expected, but meanwhile, back on earth...

This is a classic archery text, written by Ishi's physician, Dr. Saxton Pope, one of the namesakes of archery's Pope and Young Club. Taught to hunt by Ishi, Pope details the making of bows and arrows pre-1925 as well as hunting various game animals with them. A wonderful book from one of the grandfathers of making wooden bows as well as modern bowhunting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, January 13, 2009
By Tom "Tom" (Bend, Oregon) - See all my reviews
Excellent book!!! I read this book as a young man and it helped me then to appreciate the history and art of a traditional archery --a sport that I had already loved.Saxton Pope did everyone a great favor in writing of his friendship with Ishi(the last of the Yani tribe)and of his companions, trying to emulate and improve on what the native master had taught them.I ordered this again after losing my original copy years ago, and found it revived my appreciation of this wonderful sport yet again.I have started using the information and techniques this time around to make arrows and soon a bow with my son.
