Download or read book An Archer s Inner Life written by Dave Sigurslid and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-03 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 19th century when the Romanticists developed the literary theme, interest in the subject of our place in nature grown enormously. The author’s interest was especially piqued one colorful autumn when he picked up an old book at an auction, The Witchery of Archery by Maurice Thompson. Its subject is the old archery of wood bows and arrows. It leads the author to examine the connection between making a wood bow and finding his own place. His crafting brought forward an entirely unanticipated flood of psychological material. He suffered a fit of discontent. He became morose and restless. He restudied his Jung. He had dreams. He underwent a transformation. Herein he writes of his change, of crafting the wood bow, of primitive artistry, of kaleidoscoping personae wherein artist and hunter are, as in the ancient past, indistinguishable. He has used the ideas brought forth by bowmaking to approach the idea of hunting, but he has arrived at a conclusion different from that held by the dominant sport hunting community. One of the earliest and still most prevalent influences in his thinking is Aldo Leopold. Leopold’s ideas, as well as those of Thoreau and Lao Tsu, are reformulated in this book to suit archers and hunters. It will be of interest to any lover of those thinkers, and to hunters, archers, outdoors-oriented people, and peripherally to anyone who is interested in personal transformation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
