Summary: A must read for any modern archer!!!!
Review: Saxton Pope, one of the fore-fathers of modern achery, takes you on a journey of archery back in the early 20th century. This is a very informative and captivating read. Anybody with an interest in archery will find this book hard to lay down. Pope begins with the story of the last Yana indian, Ishi, which he became close friends with. He speaks of Ishi's equipment and his methods, and their adventures together. Fasinating!!! He then explains how to make and use the archery equipment which he and his comrades, Art Young and Will Compton, used on their many excursions. These excursions are then written about in detail in a manner which carries you back into the early 1900's!! Many of these adventures, such as lion and bear hunting, had never before been undertaken by modern bowhunters, and an air of uncertanity existed. In one story a charging grizzly is stopped just a few steps away!!! Awsome!!! You'll have to read it to find out more!!! I feel sure it will become one of your all time favorites!!!!
