WaaaaaaWoooooo

Good read. Liked it far more than thought I would. Even learned of other archers here in New England. My best to Rex and hoping for another book from his Dad.

This is the book to read if you want to learn, or learn more, about shooting a bow and hunting. Very informative and well told in a way that never get's boring. I can't believe this book is not more well known.
