Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Archery conjures up many images-Robin Hood, the American West, wild safaris in Africa, and the simplicity of nature on a brisk October morning. Howard Hill brings to life all of these images with exciting stories about the thril of the hunt, oneness with nature, and the adventure of the great outdoors. "Hunting the Hard Way," considered by many to be the most sought-after archery title, is now back in print and full of the thrilling escapades of a bow and arrow purist.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Archery Book I've Ever Read!, February 20, 2005

By	Michael S. Collins - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Hunting the Hard Way is the best book I have ever read. This book is about the adventures of Howard Hill and others that accompanied him on his hunting trips. Howard Hill used a laminated bamboo longbow that he made in his archery shop. He was an excellent shot with the bow also. He took some amazing shots at animals in this book. The most amazing shot in my opinion was at an elk at over 150 yards! He also went hunting with his bow and arrow.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT GIFT FOR ANY TRADITIONAL ARCHER, April 30, 2001

By	Kai G Davis (Tulsa, OK United States) - See all my reviews

I received my book on a friday and read it cover to cover in two days. I loved it. Howard Hill was not only the greatest archer in the world, but an excellent story teller. He does everything from shooting a buffalo while riding a horse, to bowfishing under water and shooting a large shark. He even has a technical chapter on bowmaking, and his style of shooting. Any archer will enjoy reading this book.
