Archer's Bible

I read this book from cover to cover at age 13 my father has had a copy since way before I was born. Fred Bear was responsible for many of the advances in bowhunting and archery we see today. Anyone who reads this book whether a beginner or an advanced archer will learn something from Bear's years of experience. There are many exploits in the book which tell of his adventures. Fred Bear is one of the few men I know of who traveled the world, hunted and killed every type of animal,even a bull elephant with a recurve bow. This books sound practices and tips will help every archer improve even if you hunt or just enjoy shooting targets.

Ted Bear maintains the ancient tradition of hunting with a recureve--the closest thing to a longbow used in hunting today, while exhibiting an ethos uncommon in the hunting world today. He believes in skill, rather than the brute strength of a gun or compund bow. This is an excellent "how to" book for hunters. Bear starts at the beginning of recurves bow shooting, and takes you through to the end. He also interjects plenty of personal interludes, which prove that this is a man who acutally hunts with a recurve, and knows what he's doing.
