Archery: Steps to Success (Steps to Success Activity Series)

Rating:
Summary: Not Impressed
Review: I agree with another post that this book is primarily written for a summer camp counselor who is in charge of the archery course! I was probably dissapointed because I read this after reading the revised edition of Dr. Kidwell's book Instinctive Archery Insights. That book enlightened me, and helped my shooting, in ways I could never have imagined! This book, Archery: Steps to Success is pretty basic. If that is what you are looking for I guess it's OK.

Rating:
Summary: A Great book for someone looking into archery.
Review: If you are interested in archery this is a great book for overall information. You will learn about the history and equipment. It walks you thru all the basics with a check list. You will learn step by step on how to shoot a bow right and what not to do. If you can not be personally intructed get this book.

Rating:
Summary: Outdated Material
Review: Read this book from cover to cover as an experienced archer and thought most of the information was superfluous. Authors tried to cover all aspects in a very brief amount of time and text. Methods are too standard stated in a matter-of-fact manner disregarding other theories, practices and methods. This book might be good for a boy scouts counselor but not a serious archer with goals of competition and proficiency. All illustrations are hand drawn leaving out critical detail.

Rating:
Summary: Not a book for anyone interested in Traditional Archery
Review: This book covered everything you need to start the sport of acrhery and more. I continue to refer back to it for guidence.
