The ability to shoot well is acquired through strict self discipline and compliance with approved shooting methods. The material in this book is intended to guide you in acquiring good shooting form which will become a habit through repeated effort.

The immense progress in the development of the modern bow and the variety of materials used in its construction, its capabilities, the use for which it is intended, and wide variations in price make it necessary for the novice to use care in the selection of the initial equipment.

It is hoped that the information contained within these covers will keep the novice from acquiring equipment entirely unsuited to his purpose and from developing shooting habits which will prevent full enjoyment of the sport. Whether on the target range, the field course, or in the hunting field, the bow adds to the recreational possibilities of the outdoors for every member of the family.
