Getting Started
Jason: Get a copy of "Hunting with the Bow and Arrow" by Saxton Pope. A real classic. Another great read is the "Adventerous Bowmen" by Pope. Another classic is the "Witchery of Archery" by Maurice Thompson. If you really feel that you need to know the spirit of archery, get a copy of "Toxophilus, by Roger Ascham, in Olde English(written in 1545). Then there is "Hunting the Hard Way" by Howard Hill.( In the Errol Flynn version of Robin Hood, Howard Hill actually does the shooting-of the King's men and splitting the arrow, etc. Not like the 'new' version where all of the shooting is done with 'smoke and mirrors') Another good read is "Sagittarius" by Bob Swinehart. Once you finish this initial assignment, I'll give you a few more titles.
Good luck and Good shooting!! :cheers:
