Book excerpt: This collection of 28 poems by Tatiana Rebecca Shrayer won second place in Stone Soup Magazines 2019 Book Contest. Shrayer's Searching for Bow and Arrows is about the weight of history-one's own personal, familial history as well as the history of politics and nations-and a nostalgic longing for a homeland that both is and isn't home. In her spare, formal poems, Shrayer probes the thin veil between the past and present, focusing on the natural world as a bridge between the two: "Drops / of saltwater / arranged / like letters / on an ancient scroll."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Way of Archery provides a detailed introduction to practicing archery in the traditional Chinese military style. It explains the basics of how to shoot using the Asian thumb ring: proper posture, training regimen, equipment, and avoiding pitfalls in shooting. The thorough translation and commentary (with original and new illustrations) provide a fresh and practical perspective on Gao Ying's 1637 archery treatise (which, itself, influenced generations of archers in East Asia). The authors themselves are active practitioners of Chinese archery, having spent an endless amount of time and effort vetting their understanding of this old manual and putting its ideas into practice. Through this process, the authors have been able to make this archery text accessible to modern readers. Not only will the reader come to understand the technical side of the Way of Archery, but will connect with the philosophy and spirit of the ancient Chinese warriors.

Book excerpt: How To Hit A Bull ́s Eye In A Day With The Royal Discipline Of Archery “An archer cannot hit the bullseye if he doesn't know where the target is.” Did you ever wish you could shoot arrows like Robin Hood, Hawkeye or Katniss Everdeen? Whenever you watch the Lord of the Rings, you imagine how powerful it must be to step in the shoes of Legolas... ...face your target ...draw back your bow ....and just shoot. Yet, you push the thought into the corner of stupid childhood dreams, knowing archery is just for entertaining movie scenes. You are wrong. The medieval way of hunting turned into a royal discipline for everyone who wants to improve their confidence and become quicker than the fastest animal in the world. Yes, your laser-sharp focus could even help you catch a cheetah. Yet, archery is much more than just a safari hunt. Archery was one of the first disciplines in the Olympic games and the latest gold medal winner Ku-Bon-Chan proves why it is a tough sport that needs practice and the right strategy. Becoming the next Legolas requires much more than randomly picking an arrow from your quiver. And even if you just want to rediscover your inner child, it is much more fun to shoot arrows in the woods if you know how to hit your target. No one wants to miss their goal. Good thing, if you follow this simple but effective plan to get to the next level, you can improve your skill set within just one practice. How many times have you started on something and given up within a week because you got frustrated? A lot of people share this story. They start a new thing without any knowledge and expect themselves to be perfect within the first couple of shots. Perfection might never be possible in the golden sports of archery. Yet, you can instantly succeed and hit your first target if you know how. In “Archery”, you ́ll discover: - How to start your Legolas journey and bring Lord of the Rings into reality - What are the Do ́s and Don ́ts to build a strong foundation in archery - How to make sure your arrow doesn ́t hit your neighbor's dog - Where to look for the bullseye - How to practice without even touching your bow and arrow - 9 common mistakes to avoid and take the shortcut to success - Which bow will turn archery into a piece of cake - How to maintain your golden instrument - Tournaments for everyone from absolute beginner to Olympic star - How much pocket money you need to become an archer And much more. No matter if you want to go at your own pace and enjoy some exercise or if you want to become an Olympian. If you want to increase confidence, focus and quick response time, archery is your sport. Even if you are the most uncoordinated person in the world, the given strategies will help you to catch your perfect meal next time you are lost in the woods. Give it a shot, draw your bow and know how to shoot. Every childhood dream starts with the first action. Stop dreaming and start doing!

Download or read book Traditional Bowyer s Handbook written by Clay C. Hayes and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-11 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I can't really explain my attraction to the bow and arrow. I can't explain the pull of a camp fire either, or the ocean, or the open hills where you can see forever. It's just there. These things are in all of us I think, some vestige of our primitive past buried so deep in our genome as to be inseparable from what it is to be human. What we think of as civilization is a new experiment in the eyes of Father Time. Experts say that humans have been around for some fifty thousand years. We've been carrying the bow for maybe five thousand (atlatls and spears before that), and pushing the plow for maybe two thousand. We have been hunters forever. We are built to run, to pursue big game on the open savannas, to kill and eat them. With the dwindling of the Pleistocene mega fauna, mammoths and such, the bow became more important and indeed helped to make us who we are today. It still holds that attraction, same as the hearth. When I was a kid I would make crude bows from green plum branches, big at one end and small at the other. A discarded hay string would serve as a bowstring. My arrows were fat and unfletched and would scarcely fly more than a few yards, usually tumbling over in midair. The small creatures around our home were plenty safe. When I was about 12 or so my brother brought me two old Ben Person recurves he'd found at a yard sale. One was a short bow, probably no more than 48 inches and the other was more of a standard size. They both drew about 50 lbs if I recall. That fall happened to be a good year for cottontails around our little farm and I spent countless hours walking the fields and shooting at them as they busted from underfoot. Although I'd get several shots a day I never did hit one on the fly but I remember that fall fondly nonetheless. The pleasure of jumping rabbits and seeing the feathered shaft streaking toward them was a thrill I've never forgotten. I made my first "real" bow when I was in high school, after getting a copy of the Traditional Bowyers Bible in the mail (more on this in a moment). My first bow, a decrowned mulberry flatbow, broke within about 10 shots. The second held together quite well and is probably still around somewhere and capable of shooting an arrow, though it would probably draw about 70lbs. When I first started making bows I used the woods I had close at hand; mulberry, common persimmon, red maple, white cedar, etc. I'd probably made more than a dozen bows of various woods before I ever saw a piece of Osage. People often ask me where they can find a bow stave and, invariably, I tell them to use what they have close by. No matter where you live, you'll have something near that will make a bow. Go cut it down and get started. This book is an attempt to share some of what I've learned over my years of bow making. The Traditional Bowyers Bible series, as mentioned earlier, is still a great source of information. Why write another book on making wood bows you might ask? The simple answer is that there are so many ways of doing and explaining things. There are still unanswered questions and we'll cover many of them here. We will cover all of the most frequently asked questions, and lay out a simple plan that should guide you through the entire process, from finding a stave to stringing your bow and shooting your first arrow. Some of what you'll find here, you'll find nowhere else.
Download or read book Shooter s Bible Guide to Bowhunting written by Todd A. Kuhn and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the most trusted name in guns and ammunition comes this ultimate reference on bowhunting. The Shooter’s Bible Guide to Bowhunting offers everything you need to know about the sport and its gear, from its origin as a means of survival to modern gear. Compound bows and crossbows have undergone an explosive rise in popularity in recent years, due in part, Dr. Todd A. Kuhn explains, to complex socioeconomic, environmental, and biological factors. As expansive tracts of land vanish, many hunters can no longer pursue game with high-powered rifles. That, plus vast improvements in archery gear, has hunters flocking to compound bows and crossbows as alternatives. In the Shooter’s Bible Guide to Bowhunting Dr. Kuhn examines all things bowhunting and archery. Topics covered include: Compound, recurve, and traditional bows Arrows and broadheads Sights and rests Releases and triggers Quivers Tree stands, blinds, decoys, and other popular gear This exhaustive desk reference provides a never before seen look into the history and engineering of archery, theories and trends in game discipline, and, of course, an exhaustive catalog of archery equipment both new and traditional.
