OK

No single book holds all the answers; however I was a little disappointed in Byron's book - not to say I did not pick up some excellent tips from this amazing archer, but I have to say that I found Jay Kidwell's 'Instinctive Archery Insights' to actually have a far greater practicality to improving my accuracy. Byron's book is good and deserves a place in every archer's library;… read more however IMHO (and from experience) Jay's book is a better first choice. Hence, I would recommend 'Instinctive Archery Insights' over 'Become The Arrow'.

Modern Classic

Become the Arrow is truly a modern classic and a must-read for the serious traditional archer. I study and practice Byron Ferguson's techniques continually, and my technique and accuracy have improved remarkably. Thank you, Byron!

Wow!

Before reading this I was an instinctive ,or as Mr. Ferguson termed it a snap shooter, and not a very good one. His "become the arrow" system is exceedingly easy to understand. so much so that my eight year old cousin read the book one day then proceeded to tear the rest of us apart at ten yards the next time we shot. Now I can accurately place my arrows out to thirty-five yards,… read more a feat I previously thought impossible. I highly recommend that any archer read this as even my grandfather who has been shooting since the 1960's found help with his form in this book.

Good Read

I enjoyed reading Become the Arrow. It gives you more stuff to put into your learning growth curve. Not everything works for everyone, but I picked up several tips to try. I will be rereading it again and again until I glean everything I can get out of it. I will get the DVD that goes with the book one of these days.

Pretty good

I really liked this book. No it wasn't the most profound book I've ever read. What I like about Byron is he wants to shoot well to be a good hunter. Yes he is a trick shot guy yes he makes some money being a trick shot guy but I got the idea from this book that if he had his choice he would be in the woods every day. Most helpful part was talking about positive attitude and how… read more it influences shooting..... BELIVE IN YOURSELF MAN!!!

Become the arrow

I am always a sucker for learning something, or in some cases re-learning. Byron Ferguson is one of the all time greats. His book is full of advice and tips for everyone, beginner, novice, expert, recreational shooter and hunters. This is one of those books where you read a few pages and are ready to go out and shoot your bow some to try a new technique or try out a tip, but… read more then again anything that makes you shoot more is always a good thing. Try the book you wont be disappointed!

Lots of useful info and tips on traditional archery and bowhunting. Pretty hard to turn down advice from a man with a reputation like Byron Ferguson. Good section on bowhunting, tree stand location, ect. Highly recommended for experts and beginners alike.
