Archery books

The Traditional Bowyer's Bible, Volume 1

The book not only tells you the best types of bows to design, based on the wood you are using but also gives suggestions at alternative methods for achieving the same result. The authors do not assume that their way is the only way and include tips and ideas from others that they have obtained over the years. This book will certainly get you busy quickly, in your workshop. They also dispell many of the 'sacred cows' in traditional bow making such as the types of wood that are 'the best' and the "best designs".

Zen in the Art of Archery

by: Eugen Herrigel
This is the famous little book that Minor White advised his pupils to read. It's an account by German professor Eugen Herrigel of several years of archery lessons with a Japanese archer in the 1950s. My review is written with photography in mind, though the principles discussed in the book can be applied to many arts.

If you have an interest in photography, should you read it?

Here are a few quotes from this little book in which I have taken the liberty of replacing archery lingo with photography lingo: .

Shooting the Stickbow

by: Anthony Camera
Finally a book about shooting the stickbow that starts at the begining. All others that I have read assume that you already know the basics. The author takes you from the first steps of equipment that is needed to the form for good shooting. The book then goes into detail about tuning the bow, arrow making and fine tuning your shooting. All with pictures that you can easily see what the author is talking about. This book would be my recomendation to anyone who wants to get into archery or wants to shoot better.
