Editorial Reviews:

Expert bowhunter and archery traditionalist Dan Bertalan has compiled the most complete bowmaking text available today.  By traveling coast to coast and consulting America’s top bowmakers, he has gathered the best information on how to build your own recurve longbow, improve your hunting skills, care properly for a bow, and more. Including descriptive photographs, diagrams, a complete glossary of terms, and reviews of particular bows that include draw/force measurements and hand-shot arrow speeds, this illuminating book will provide hunters, collectors, and others with invaluable insight into this specialized world.

Summary: Not Worth Your Time...Or Money
Comment: This is just a reprint of Bertalan's 1989 book, with absolutely nothing added except a few pages in the end and changing the word Bible to Encyclopedia; it is neither. It is a personal view of the author's reflections of has-been bow builders in the archery world.

Almost every bowyer in this book is out of business...and have been for almost twenty years since it was written..yes, that's right; it was written twenty years ago! Some of the bowyers have been dead almost as long.

At the time it was original published, most of the bowyers mentioned were still in business; in a year over half of them were already gone.

I asked T.J. Conrads why he endorsed it. He told me he wrote that quote 20 years ago and was rather upset that his name appeared on this new edition as he was not asked and would not have endorsed it. In fact, all the endorsements are 20-years old!
