I began the art and practice of traditional archery when I was seven years old. Few endeavors have brought me more pleasure during my lifetime than this pursuit. My first bow was an English Long Bow, made of wood as was my second. As I grew older I eventually "graduated" to the re-curves and it was this bow that I participated in hunting. I gave up hunting years and years ago (more about that later), but my entire emphases has always been on target shooting and woodcraft.
This work, Beginner's Guide to Traditional Archery by Brian J. Sorrells is by far the best book for those just starting out in this art form. Now I will grant you that the best way to learn is from a good teacher, but that is not always possible. This little work fills that gap very nicely. Now keep in mind that this work was not meant for those with experience in the use of the traditional bow; this would include all those who have learned with and shot nothing but the compound bow. Compound bows are an entirely different creature. It is my personal belief that they are the worse thing that could have possible happened to archery, but that is a personal belief and prejudice and if using a compound is gratifying, then I am all for it for those who enjoy such things.
The text and pictures in this book are of the highest quality, very concise and very informative. The author discusses every thing from history to theory to practical use of the various pieces of equipment needed. This work is not a deep work nor was it meant to be. This book gives the newcomer a starting point; a reference block that can and should be built upon. Remember, everyone has to start somewhere and I cannot think of a better tool to start the young (and not so young) beginner.
