I recently finished reading this book. I loved it! I believe that any true archer should read it.
Just wondering what you guys have to say about it.

I almost feel like I am there when I read it. Love it.

Frenchy

Read it twice in French and once in English and I truly enjoyed both.
The French version has lost nothing in translation

Very good book.  My favorite, with the book about Chester Stevenson a close second.

Archers that enjoy WOA came in to good fortune about 2 years ago when Cliff Huntington published some additional works of Maurice Thompson so we kind of have "Witchery 2"!  The new edition is called "Toxophilus in Arcadia".  I will have to see if I can locate Cliff's contact info.

If your going to the PBS banquet in a few weeks there's a seminar "Hunting with the Thompson Brothers".

Should be good. Can't wait.

Was one of my favorite books too.

I love the book.  First read it @ 20 yrs. ago.  Have been lucky to get to see some of the areas in Fl. in the book.  Even luckier still, to be able to camp in the same areas.
Keep a copy with my gear!

I just started rereading this one after coming back from hog hunting in Florida with Marty McMahon. I'm living the hunt all over again. A great read and it echoes everything I love about archery. Of course the after glow of being at Marty's really helps too !
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good
