About this title

Synopsis

A clear, historic look at how bows and arrows really work — from the type of wood to the power behind every shot, with practical test results you can compare to modern archery.

This edition presents Saxton T. Pope’s detailed examination of bow strength, arrow design, flight performance, and penetration. Using specimens from a major university collection, the work explains how factors like material, size, balance, and backing affect the cast and effectiveness of an arrow. It also shows how researchers measure velocity and striking power with simple, repeatable tests, including paraffin penetration tests and elevation/ timing observations. The result is a thorough, accessible portrait of historical archery and the science that underpins it.

Learn the basics of bow anatomy and how different designs influence power and accuracy
See how arrow construction, weight, and feathering impact flight and penetration
Understand methods used to compare bows, arrows, and heads under controlled test conditions
Discover historical perspectives on archery from various cultures and time periods

Ideal for readers of sports history, traditional archery, and hands‑on experiments with old and replica gear.
