Book Description

A practical guide for all those wishing to shoot traditional archery equipment, in the �instinctive� style, that is without sighting aids, stabilisers, cams or wheels, including information for those who wish to make their own kit.

From the Author

I have been shooting and making traditional archery equipment since 1986, and have been a full member of the Craft Guild of Traditional Bowyers and Fletchers for much of that time. I make bows and arrows professionally, including English and American Longbows, �primitive bows� and bows to prehistoric designs; I have learnt much from my own practical experience as well as from experienced archers and from sheer enjoyment of this fascinating subject. All this I hope to pass on in this book to newcomers or existing archers starting out on the traditional path.

The publisher, Hilary Greenland , 27 October, 2000

Written by a member of the Craft Guild of Bowyer's and Fletchers in the UK, this is a guide for those starting out on archery's traditional path. Information on selecting traditional bows (longbows flatbows and simple recurves); their design, tuning and care is included, and for those interested in the practical side, details on making arrows, strings and all-wood bows to traditional designs are included.
