[Anders · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book covers shooting with recurve and compound bows. The information on traditional bows is very limited. It felt like an easy to read encyclopedia covering the shot cycle, how to know what equipment to get, how to care for it and some advice on getting into competitions.

It was a good read and is a very good generic archery book to have in the bookshelf when there's a need to check up on something.

Well written, efficient read for starters. Helped me a lot to get started and covers all you need to know for it.

Very useful for new archers or archers who want to learn a little more about the technical side of archery (vocabulary, equipment you are unfamiliar with, caring for equipment, etc).

Simple, easy to follow, great illustration, perfect for level 1 coaching certification.
