Reviews
good book
by Joseph Keefe from on 2010-02-07
it says archery anatomy,and it is that.shows how your bones are aligned during the draw of the bow.
Very technical, very useful for intermed/advanced archers
by David Bourgery from Ft. Collins, CO United States on 2003-12-15
I own quite a few (probably too many!) books on archery. After a while they all start to sound the same, NOT SO with this book. It details the exact mucles and bones used in shooting a bow. It has many excellent labelled drawings so the techincal language is easier to follow than you would think. I have rotator cuff trouble and this book really helped me with this. Explanations of how to hold the string are particularly good. I do not recommend this for beginners, you really should start with a less technical book. Otherwise it's an excellent value.
very useful and interesting

Whether your interest is target, 3-D or hunting, and especially if you shoot a traditional bow, rather than a compound, this book will educate you in new ways. The excellent illustrations tell the story in themselves -- there are good ways and not-so-good ways of drawing a bow. You can improve your performance and help avoid injuries and nagging problems, by following the advice in this book.An excellent contribution to a little-understood and vital aspect of our sport. Highly recommended.
An Acquired Taste
by Azhar from Malaysia on 2001-07-30
This is a very interesting read. I am a beginner in archery and never knew the depth of this sport before I read this book. I was fastreading my friend's copy twice before I finally decided that I need this book. If you are looking for personal satisfaction in this sport read this book. It will teach you how to get the appropriate sensation of each movement in archery. To me archery is about feeling and this book can help you feel for the sport. One word of caution though - Be prepared for some heavy reading! The jargon can be tiring.
There are few books of its class.

There are not many good books on the sport in print, SO far I have only found about 6 books worth reading.This is one of them, it explains in great detail the medical nature of the sport and how it affects the body.Never judge a book by its cover, this is one of those books.
