Imagine reading an archery book that you can't put down. And imagine taking the knowledge from this book and applying it to your daily life-in your relationships, especially your romantic relationships. That's what makes this book very different. Besides an explanation of archery basics, you gain from Archery Answers insight as to how to live life more authentically. Archery Answers is not a substitute for a good coach or lessons at your local archery store, club or park. Also, it is not a bow hunting book, nor a book about compound bows and complex sighting devices. This book is not about "winning." Why? Because you already have all you need within. Archery Answers is a book that gives you something new to add to your skills as an archer: Presence. You will experience that intangible aspect of archery which gives you completeness both as an archer and as a person. This "something" has been described before in "Zen" terms, in terms of "being at one with bow, arrow, and target." Now you will finally get it. Here are some of the topics covered in the book: The Archery Basics The different types of bows and their history The different types of quivers, pros and cons Armguards inexpensive, fancy, and how to make your own The different types of arrows, pros and cons Bowstring basics Different types of string keepers, and how to make your own Different types of bow stringers, and how to make your own Shooting gloves vs. finger tabs, and how to make your own Various types of targets with recommendations Types of arrow components, from nock to point How to make arrows and how to repair arrows - all the basics you need How to set up your bow string and string your bow The basics of starting off shooting your first time at the target range The Deeper Topics How archery can improve your relationships Archery vs. Stress Archery Fosters Patience The important difference between skill and habit Inner peace through presence in archery Presence in your daily life Bonus: A short love story about the narrators of the book Archery Answers is a 220 page book loaded with over two hundred pictures. If you are looking for more than a "How-To" manual, more than a step-by-step coaching book, then this book is for you. Archery Answers is written in a style that flows, using the voices of Celeste and Blake to give it a very personal touch that keeps you fully engaged from cover to cover. Will you join a vast group of your peers who see the practice of archery as a pathway to a new kind of freedom-the freedom to connect with nature, to put aside stressful ego concerns? It's time to become one with bow, arrow, and target, and bring that joy into your daily life.
