Book Description
A practical guide for all those wishing to shoot traditional archery equipment,
in the Œinstinctive¹ 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, Œprimitive bows¹ 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.
