Some interesting reviews by people who have bought the book

In a world where many books promise a lot and only deliver half of that, this is a book that keeps it's promise. It is a useful handbook; just what it claims to be. And yes, it is a good handbook for beginners in archery like me. It provides the reader with useful tips and secrets of this wonderful and so special sport, without underestimating the new athlete. Frankly, it helped me a lot when I first started with archery but that's not the reason I like it the most. It is focused on the theme and the author doesn't let himself be carried away by peddling details and useless comments. In a few words, it is as good as it claims.

This book is short, sweet and to the point. It covers the basics about form and follow through and all of the essentials that you need to know when you are learning how to shoot, or even if you are just looking to improve your form. It includes several checklists and even a whole chapter dedicated FAQs. It has lists of problems and then explanations on how to fix them. Overall, this book is well worth it. Andrew Kleewein USA
