It is aimed at both beginner bowyers who want to build their first composite bows and archers who wish to improve their understanding of their equipment. With over 100 photos and illustrations, the book focuses on the technical aspects of bow-making, helping readers to build and understand the different designs of composite bows used throughout history.
