Try Charlie Lamb's book. I think some of those stories go waaaaaay back! :biglaugh:
Hunting with the bow and arrow by Pope comes to mind. Witchery of Archery also.
thanks gents..i will do some looking..john
Pick up a copy of the Witchery of Archery. Fits the time period your looking for.
The witchery of archery is a great book but is difficult to read as people talked different back then than they do today.
"The Adventurous Bowmen" by Saxton Pope and Art Young is about their 8 month safari to Africa in 1925. A really good read if you can find it. Don't get your bubble burst with the ethics of the shots though. It was a different time and place.
Toxophilus in Arcadia by Maurice Thompson -- it's a revised and edited version of Thompson's unpublished manuscripts by Cliff Huntington. Might try to get in touch with Cliff - or Fred & Teresa Asbell have copies of the book.
