This is a must have for any traditional shooter
I rarely read and I rarely write reviews but I felt this deserved a rating to help others to narrow down the selection of all the choices of literature out there. I have been shooting traditional for about 5 to 7 years now but my shooting gets a little haywire at times. I have all the Fred Asbell books, which are great too, but this book goes into a little more detail. The chapters… read more on arrow tuning and shooting form tighten my groups up immediately. I also learned about eye dominance, which was a new surprise for a 50 year old bow hunter. I would recommend this book for any level of traditional shooter. It is definitely worth more than the asking price. I havn't even finished reading it yet but I can say it has been a good and useful read. Buy it, you will find something useful you didn't know or forgot.

Wonderful All Around Resource
I purchased this book several years ago, wanting to begin to improve my archery knowledge. It opened the door to a world I'd not imagined was this big.
