Very pleased this important reference work is back in print. Well-produced book in larger format than I had expected, excellent paper, easy to use & very informative. Authoritative for bows & arrows west of Mississippi River & Arctic regions.

I bought this book more as a curiousity, my archery interests are Asian bows, but the more I read the more captivated I became. The line drawings are of immense interest to anyone making their own arrows, bows, or quivers. I gained a new appreciation for the artistry and technical expertise Native Peoples had including the first compound bows. I gave a copy of this book to a Kootenai Indian friend of mine to get him back to making his Tribe's horn bow and some arrows.
If you like so-called "primitive archery" then you will like enjoy this book for years.

This book was purchased for the Montana Bowhunter Education Foundation, it contains a great deal of information, was well written, easy to follow, and easy to find the specific info that you're looking for. We would recommend this book.
