Reviews

Good first book, but you'll outgrow it quickly

by William Bradley from Chandler, AZ USA on 2010-07-20
As a previous review mentioned, this book is part of a series. As such, it tries to be a comprehensive introduction to the sport: recurve vs. traditional vs. compound bows, olympic vs. field vs. hunting archery, and so on. However, the end result is that the book is far too broad and hardly scratches the surface in most areas. It might be a perfect first book for someone who is completely new to the sport, but serious beginners will want more detailed information after just a few weeks of practice.

Qualified author but not a great book.

by Gerard from CA United States on 2008-12-14
The author of this book is a high level archery instructor and has been (still is?) in charge of the archery training program called NADA, which runs the basic archery training for the NAA and the NFAA, so you'd think this would be a great book. Well, that is what I thought, but I can't say as I think it came out that way. The Archery Fundamentals is restricted, in part, by being part of a series that tries to cover sports basics. The book covers a wide array of topics, and sometimes in too little detail to be of use. I don't recommend this book, though others have found it useful to them, so clearly there is room for disagreement. Some people like "Shooting the Stickbow"--but I haven't read it and can't personally vouch for it at this time and it is strictly for people who want to learn about regular bows--not "compound" bows, the kind with pulleys. However, the training run by NADA is good, as are the training materials they put out for coaches. If you are interested in archery, books are a great way to learn additional information, but a local archery range or JOAD program with certified coaches is a good way to get into the sport.

Very useful book - well deserving of 5-stars

by EZPowell / Gavin Powell from USA on 2008-11-11
I wanted a straight-forward introduction and that's exactly what I got. I wanted to know how to maintain and how to use my newly acquired second-hand compound bow - this book gave me all the information I needed. This book is also well written and well edited - ezpowell.com
