Summary: A long infomercial with some valuable content
Review: Bernie wrote the second-best book on target shooting with compound bows (the best is James Park's "Mastering Compound Bows," which is about to get an ISBN number). While Bernie's book can be an annoying infomercial at various times, pushing his various products, there is no doubt that contains valuable information, particularly for Vegas-style (18m) indoor spot shooting, so it is well worth a read. The best aspect of this book is its diagnostic pictures which help one detect mistakes in their form.The best book in archery is on the topic of recurve bows, and this is Rick McKinney's "The Simple Art of Winning."

Summary: Idiot Proof Archery
Review: Excellent how to book, especially if you can not find a local coach and can learn things by reading. I learned one thing in the first reading that helped reduce fatigue and let me shoot longer practice sessions. I bought his Can't Punch Release which really helped me "safely" learn back tension. Other can't punch releases would likely do the same. The Laser trainer doesn't get much use but then I can shoot almost every day outside. I have read and re-read the book and learn something each time. Great algorythym on how to measure draw length. A liitle too much promotion of products but not to the extreme of witholding content. I sense some peer animosity in other readings but Bernie has implemented the "Inner Archery" which helps you exercise the subliminal success engine in everyone. Focus on the outcome and the process will adapt to produce the result.

Summary: If you have target panic or want to improve, read this!
Review: This book is an excellent overview of the authors (Bernie's) mobile shooters school. It covers bow set up, tuning, shooting form, the shot sequence and mental aspects of archery and much more. The author is a NFAA master coach and does a nice job of uncovering a lot of misconceptions about archery as well as pointing out many of the things that are often overlooked that will help your game. This book has a lot of great information but unfortunately it lacks an index. It is mostly geared for the compound target archer, however, there is also a nice section covering 3D and bowhunting.
