5.0 out of 5 stars Great Foundation for shooting, January 30, 2002
By 
If you are just starting out in instinctive shoot, this book will prevent you from developing the bad habits that plague some shooters. This book will prove that bad practice for years on end is not as effective as good practice with consistent form over a very short period of time. I read the book before I began to shoot my recurve seriously. Within 3 weeks of shooting for about 15 minutes, twice a day, I was competent at reasonable hunting ranges. If you follow Dr. Kidwell's instruction and apply his concepts to your form, you will be amazed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Effective is an Understatement, June 5, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Instinctive Archery Insights: Revised Edition (Paperback)
I have owned the first edition of this book for a decade now. When I discovered that there was a revised edition I couldn't wait to get my copy. I couldn't be happier. The style is easy to read and the instruction, both the new and revised, continues to be truly unique. When I began my quest for archery instruction I quickly discovered that most of the books were nothing more than the same old stuff by a different author. Not so with this book. Very unique and effective information. Don't be deceived by the simple writing style - you may have to read it a couple times before you really begin to appreciate (understand) the hidden treasures contained in this book. This book will make anyone a better shooter. If you are already very good, this is the only book that I know of that can make you better!

5.0 out of 5 stars great beginer's guide, March 5, 2001
By 
anthony donofrio (Youngstown, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
Jay Kidwell, Ph.D., hits the bullseye with this guide to instinctive shooting technique. As those of us who shoot recurve and longbow know, shooting instictively can be frustrating at times. The key to accuracy is consistency. Dr. Kidwell teaches us the fundamental pre-requisites for accurate shooting, consistency in both physical and mental aspects of the sport. At the end of each chapter, Dr. Kidwell includes a summary of key concepts set forth in that chapter for quick reference. This book is a great guide for the beginner, as well as the seasoned instictive archer. It is well written, easy to follow, and extremely clear in its message.
