Archery: Steps to Success

I have read small tips that I have found to be helpful that I have not received from coaches .. I would not hesitate to recommended this book to beginning archers .. Informative, thoughtful, and written in understandable terms .. 5 Stars !!!

Covers all the information you need to get started and then some. A great reference without being complicated. I used it to refresh myself with all the archery terms and what is important. Recommended.

Well written book about all aspects in Archery. Covers both, compound and recurve bows techniques. Accessories et al. The illustrations are not very modern. They could have made a better job in this area. But content is what matter, therefore I found it very useful.

This is a great book for someone reviewing, learning for themselves or teaching others. You forget little things over the years and this book helps bring them to the fore front again.

Excellent book in better than expected condition. Covers a wide range of subjects that are bound to be of interest to the beginning archer like myself.

This book is very informative, has pictures and easy to follow instructions which are a must for beginners in archery.

Very helpful. Read this book as I took a basic archery class and improved by leaps and bounds in just weeks. Learned more from the book than the class. Very helpful in equipment selection and understanding archery dynamics. Saved me a ton of frustration. Well written and enjoyable. Recommend to anyone who wants to understand the sport or hobby of archery. Really helped me to love archery.

The book is easy to read with instructive pictures and diagrams. Following the steps in the book has helped me as a beginning archer.

Its rare to find a book with such care and devotion taken over its writing and illistration. Its a winning combination for those who are complete beginners to archery (ie: me) and i'm sure also for those much further down the line. If one were to follow the steps this books takes you through its basically a course in its own right. I am currenly partisapating in a beginners archery course and am glad i have such a book to read between classes. The instructions, as well as tips and tricks are highly accurate, simply explained and throughly enjoyable to read. And there is so much detail and information that i will continue reading this long after my course has finished to perfect my skills. An easy 5 stars.

Leider gibt es sehr wenig deutsche Literatur für den Kindle zum Thema Bogensport. Dieses in Englisch verfasste Buch richtet sich hauptsächlich an Einsteiger, die sich einen schnellen Einstieg und Ergebnisse im Bogensport erhoffen. Es werden alle wichtigen Themen von Sicherheit, Auswahl der Ausrüstung, Training und noch mehr, kurz und verständlich erklärt, ohne sich dabei zu Verzetteln. Dass dabei auf tiefergehende Details verzichtet wird ist zu verschmerzen - dafür kauft man sich ein "Profi-Buch". Didaktisch wertvoll finde ich die "So macht man's"- und "So macht man's nicht"-Anmerkungen. Zum ersten Einlesen absolut geeignet. Wobei man auch sehr gute und vorallem kostenloses Material im Internet finden kann.

It has all tips that what I want

I'm totally new to recurve archery and am doing lessons at the local adult education centre. These are great but the group is big and the equipment pretty, let's say, basic. This American book assumes that you have access to a half decent bow but even without that luxury it helps the user to establish the core essentials. Effective archery is based on developing 'good form' through repetition, repetition, consistency and, more than that, consistency. This could be pretty boring but Haywood and her co-author do a great job in explaining why consistency is so vital and in providing exercises and drills to get you there. They also take a useful look at the bells & whistles that come later, once good form has been developed - sights, stabilisation and so forth. They also take the reader forward into the realms of technique refinement, but it's the basics that so far, for me, prove the worth of this title. I appreciate that many people do not learn practical skills effectively from books, but you're reading this so I assume that you are open to this form of education / instruction and I have to say that, for me, it perfectly complements the weekly hour-long sessions of shooting. Any American-ness is not intrusive and in any case archery is a sport without boundaries. (I should mention that the principles covered apply as much to compound bow shooting and the illustations balance recurve and compound types.)
