5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the read and the money, August 9, 2009

By	Richard Dezendorf "mrdezendorf" (Shreveport, LA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am brand new to archery. I heard about this book from forums on the Internet and purchased it from Amazon. I am glad I made that decision. After talking with the pro at our local archery shop, I knew that I would eventually want to shoot a back tension release and Larry Wise outlines a good program that would lead to success. I ordered a bow and in the five weeks spent waiting for it to arrive, I practice with the string loop and my release on a daily basis. It has paid off. I am not there yet but an headed in the right direction. Also, Larry points out the importance of relegating all of components of making a good shot to the subconscious - except for aiming - focusing on the target. I know this to be a sound concept from all the years I spent target shooting with pistols, rifles, and especially shotguns. The book also gives some good advice on how to practice - have a specific goal and concentrate on that one thing. The book is an easy read. I read it the first time in one evening. If you are like me, you will refer back to it frequently. If you are serious about archery, this is a must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strating of right, June 13, 2007

By	Andre (Nelspruit, South Africa) - See all my reviews

An excellent book that should be "compulsory" reading for any person serious about archery. If I read the book when I started archery I would not have had to unlearn the many bad habits I learnt or have been taught over the past three years.

A clear and practical step by step guide to get any serious archer in shooting his best shot.
