I am looking for some good Trad books to put on my Kindle. What do you guys have on yours?
Thanks
i have Ishi in two worlds and the crooked stick
Instinctive Archery Insights, Hunting with the Bow and Arrow, Backyard Bowyer. All highly recomended. :)
Thanks guys!!! I just picked up The Sound of the string, which is a sponsor here.
Hunting with the bow and arrow, also Elkheart.
Hunting the hard way..ya have too have that one!
Thanks guys! any others?
Hunting with the Bow and Arrow - Saxton Pope
Oops! Are we talking about the same book, Andrew?
:campfire:
Instinctive Archery Insights - actually inspired me to start shooting trad (he makes it sound so easy), Hunting the Hard Way, Hunting with the Bow and Arrow. Also, I gotta throw out Breathtaking Bowhunts by Mike Lamade - not trad, but one of my favorite bowhunting books!
I will give those a look, thanks!!!
Since I am strictly traditional, I use only "trad" style books--the kind with real pages made from paper! Gosh, sorry, but I just COULD NOT resist. :biglaugh: Forgive me...the devil made me do it.
On my nook tablet I have Yahi Archery, How to Train in Archery, The Maine Woods, which has reference to long bows, and, of course, Witchery of Archery.
I'm with David.LOL

"How Sportsmen Saved the World" by E. Donall Thomas is an excellent read...
Just picked up sound of the string...pretty good!
What's a Kindle?
Don't have a kindle, but if Longbows in the Far North by E Donnall Thomas is available, it is a great read.

I have the Original Trad Kindle. I don't go in for all that fancy, modern-day Kindle Fire like my kids have. That's just crazy talk!
I know it's all in good fun but it is a little ironic gettin' razzed about using technology while communicating on an internet bulletin board :)
don't believe in them, I know modern technology. But my theory is like in past, they give them away or buy "books" cheap now. Then after the publishing houses close and cannt buy books, they jack the price up and will only get what "they" want you too. Just My Opinion.
:biglaugh: Good one, John.
I have a couple-three books on my phone, but it is not as easy or satisfying as leafing through a nice hardcover book.
Barbie and Kendoll... :campfire:
John -
My desk top doesn't go to my tree stand and I don't post from camp. :bigsmyl:

When you get to the end of The Sound Of the String there is a prompt on the last page to go to my website and read a FREE on-line after story. You have to have a code you get from the book to access it.
Some people really love Gordon Bradford at the end and some people hate him which tells me people are really identifying with the characters and the story. In the After story you will see that Gordon, flawed as he is, acts as a gentleman.
Love to here your opinion.
Enjoy!

This is a great thread!! I just bought my wife a Nook for her birthday.. It never even crossed my mind that there would be trad books out there that have gone digital.. Kind of ironic is it not.. Oh well I still love it!
Keep the titles coming guys!!! I have ready I remember Papa Bear. Any other Fred Bear books out there?
