Expert bowhunter Roger Maynard follows up the highly successful ADVANCED BOWHUNTING GUIDE with an in-depth look at what it takes to be successful in hunting for game using high-tech weapons based on designs that predate history. For instance, did you know that bows used by Napoleon Bonaparte's forces in the early 1850's bore striking resemblance to the designs developed in the 1960's? Or that the predecessors to today's National Guard gathered on medieval village greens each Sunday for archery practice? That the sons of Noah are credited with introducing archery to the northern Mediterranean area? Maynard explains it all in 37 chapters, based on his own knowledge and advice from bowhunters and bowmakers he has met over his 30-plus years of hunting and tinkering. Contents: The History of Archery; Getting Started in Archery; The Long Bow & the Recurve Bow; Setup and Tuning; How to Increase Your Accuracy; Tracking Wounded Game; Dressing Game; How to Avoid Injuries; Game Management; Spine and the Archer's Paradox; Making Arrows...and much more!
