Title: books recommendations please
Post by: Pat Ct on August 16, 2015, 11:12:00 PM
Hello everyone! Every time I want to learn something new or go over something forgotten I tend to go through piles of paper and files but I never got myself a good A to Z book that kind of goes through most trad archery related info.

So, what is your recommendation on a good, as complete as possible, book/books on the subject, from tuning to skinning?

Thanks a bunch!

The "Bowyers Bible" series.
Anything by the Wensels or Don Thomas.
Fred Bear's Field Notes

There are lots of books that are informative and entertaining.  I'd stick with authors you know have "been there, done that".  My opinion.

Thanks! I'll check these out and whatever else comes up. Always eager to learn, learn, learn and no matter how good I might think I am, there's always room for more!

Shooting The Stickbow by Anthony Camera.  It has all the info you could need.

Byron Ferguson's book also.  Go to 3 Rivers Archery website and search the books for sale.  You will find some good ones there also.

The traditional Bowhunters Handbook by T.J. Conrads is a good reference.  Also like Timeless Bowhunting, by Roy Marlowe and G.Fred Asbel's Instinctive Shooting books. Lots to choose from.
