Editorial Reviews:

“Shooting the Stickbow” is the first comprehensive treatise on shooting modern recurves and longbow! Topics include equipment choices (bow, arrows, strings, shooting gloves and tabs, arm guards, arrow rests and sights), shooting form (proper anchoring, shoulder alignment, back tension, breathing and more), tuning (four methods are described and compared), aiming (five aiming methods are fully explained and contrasted), physical and mental aspects if becoming a proficient archer (functional anatomy for the archer and how it relates to shooting and the mental game of winning are discussed in detail and exercises are provided to enhance both physical and mental performance). “Shooting the Stickbow” answers the questions most often asked by new archers and delves into topics not often considered, but critical to accurate shooting for experienced archers.

Summary: Finally
Comment: Finally a book about shooting the stickbow that starts at the begining. All others that I have read assume that you already know the basics. The author takes you from the first steps of equipment that is needed to the form for good shooting. The book then goes into detail about tuning the bow, arrow making and fine tuning your shooting. All with pictures that you can easily see what the author is talking about. This book would be my recomendation to anyone who wants to get into archery or wants to shoot better. Even for the experienced shooter the book will serve as a reference to check back on to improve your shooting.
