5.0 out of 5 stars Bows, Arrows and Hunting for Dummies, October 7, 2002

By	James B Morris (Newtown, CT United States) - See all my reviews

This book is the result of the authors bringing decades of personal field experience, not "war stories", to all who read it. Add to that the up-to-date tech information provided, the complicatied made simple of moderen archery equipment setup and the intricacies of traditional archery clearly explained makes this book a valuble addition to your archery and hunting library.
If I had to choose only one book to help me understand the how-to and realationships between bow, arrow, accessory equipment, hunter and quarry this would be the one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing in Detail and Information, August 7, 2006

By	KWomack (Louisville, KY USA) - See all my reviews

EVERYTHING you always wanted to know about Bow Hunting but were too intimidated to ask. Being a woman just picking up the sport of bow hunting at age 37 I would walk into sporting goods and archery stores and be overwhelmed by the amount of information I needed to know before I ever purchased a bow. This book helped me know what equipment I needed and what equipment was just smoke and mirrors. It also prepared me for "target panic" and explained in detail about every other facet that I could have ever thought of and even some I didn't consider. Great for anyone just picking up the sport.
