Great book--highly recommended |
|
After a 7 year absence I recently purchased a new Mathews Drenalin DXT and am eager to get back into bowhunting. Having forgotten much of what I had previously learned I purchased this book based on previous recommendations. I wasn't disappointed. Lon covers the entire gambit of bow hunting and make is both easy and entertaining doing it. A great book especially for beginners or those like myself just getting back into it. Some may think his stories of hunts similar to bragging but I enjoyed them and if you pay attention you learn from them as well. Definitely worth a 5-star rating! |

Excellent Guide to Accurate Shooting |

I learned a great deal from this book. I am an intermediate bowhunter and found the information very interesting. I know whether a bow shop is blowing smoke up my #$% now. |

A NEWBIE'S BEST FRIEND GOING INTO ARCHERY & BOWHUNTING |
Starting at zero baseline of knowledge and experience and no close friends in the sport, I had to "get up to speed" myself to be able to make a sizeable investment in equipment and develop the know-how to pursue a new life adventure into archery elk hunting. This is a serious undertaking and sizeable resource commitment and nothing short of excellence would be acceptable in both the equipment and the preparation to be an ethical hunter.
I needed everything and knew nothing. Like fly-fishing, which is my passion and obsession, archery has a differnt language, different materials and requires differnt skill sets to master to be adequate enough to be able to progress in the sport. Without a mentor but a deep seated drive to excel in this sport I have been like a sponge seeking out morsels of knowledge. This book was manna.
I am still learning; I am still reading and re-reading. This book has helped me more than any other reference I have found. I will continue to use the writings in this book to help educate and prepare myself as I develop my skills for this new life adventure. |

Right on Target |
Another five-star review for this book might seem a little redundant, but it's earned it. Don't be misled by its size; it's only 120 pages long, but it's PACKED with concentrated, clearly-written, QUALITY information. After wasting WAY too many bucks on books with rambling, unorganized writing and shoddy illustration, this book gets a place of honor on my shelf. It should set the standard for "how-to" books on outdoor sports.
(One very mild criticism: there are a few too many photographs of Lon grinning next to his trophies, but hey - it's his book, after all...) |

Rookie or Veteran this book is a great read. |

I'm 51 years old and I wish I had this info about 35 years ago. Lou does a fine job of getting to the point of what makes the difference between being an average Joe bowhunter and a clean hitting one. I really found his finer tips excellent, that is what I was missing, and he dispelled many of the wives-tales about some items too. One item/tip in particular I hadn't thought about much was belt type straps verse Velcro for my release and also how to measure and set the proper release head position. Bottom line every serious and not so serious bowhunter would benefit by reading this book. I say well done to Lou for his fine and easy to read book. |
