Just a technical manual

If all you are interested in is how to put an arrow on a piece of paper from 90ft away, this book is for you.

This review is from: Kyudo: The Way of the Bow (Paperback)
This book is very technical in its dealing with the ancient art of Japanese archery. It goes over the equipment, techniques, and etiquite for kyudo. I recommend this for those who are going to start studying archery or those who are already studying it. However, I don't recommend this for casual reading. If you are interested in reading about martial arts for pleasure, I recommend that you pass on this book. If you need a reference to help you with your kyudo technique, this is great.

This review is from: Kyudo: The Way of the Bow (Paperback)
This is a good book if you want to learn how to accurately shoot a Japanese Yumi, but dare not call it Kyudo. In Kyudo you practice technique so you don't have to use it. If all you are interested in is how to put an arrow on a piece of paper from 90ft away, this book is for you. If you are new to Kyudo, in this case, this book would be of some help, but it is only one piece of the puzzle, 1/3 to be exact. If you consider this book to only be the first third of Kyudo, then this is one of the better books detailing that particular part. It will surly get you started.
