Common sense combined with technical information

There is nothing in this book that most archers couldn't come up with on their own, eventually. What it does, however, is provide accelerated learning and eliminate a lot of trial and error. This book takes all of the key elements of becoming a good archer and combines it into one easy to read reference. I can't speak for the more advanced or competition archers, but as someone who has been shooting for some time, it is an invaluable reference. It also gave me more confidence in that my form was already pretty good, but provided me with better ways to reproduce my form. Although the information for bow tuning is available elsewhere, it is a good reference for tuning your bow, as well. The range estimation portion of the book is especially useful for all archers, be it 3-D, hunting, or other competition. This is a great manual to help improve your accuracy.

This book is my personal archery trainer!

Kirk Ethridge's book is an instant classic. Great for thebeginner and expert alike, everyone (including myself) can improvetheir shooting significantly. Kirk is a real insider...anyone who has shot the Vegas shoot in the last 10 years knows the only man who ever won 10 National Championships. A former world champ, he is a true master of the sport. I recommend this book highly. The appendices are worth the price of the book, with explanations of elevated shots, drug testing, and others. Great for 3D shooters (there's a chapter on range estimation that is CONTROVERSIAL and a real EYE OPENER), or targeters alike.

Kirk's in rare form!

I found that this book goes beyond the ho-hum of most ordinary archery technique books. Most archery books start with the boring tasks of identifying basic tools and then expands from that point on. Kirk names products, and also evaluates them. I also was thrilled to read the personal philosophy of a down to earth, yet obviously good shooter. I'm waiting for Kirk to put out another book, hopefully with more on the brain portion he touched on in this book.

This guy is the greatest archery teacher of all time!

My score went up 25+ points since reading this book. It is the greatest! :-) Very conversational in style. Recommended!

The World Champ becomes your archery coach!

I improved my shooting over 100% after reading this book. It's very conversational in style, and has lots of interesting anecdotes from the world scene. Impressive!!!
