Become the Arrow by Byron Ferguson with Glenn Helgeland

Become the Arrow

by Byron Ferguson with Glenn Helgeland

View Details |

Byron Ferguson — archery trick shot, bowhunter, longbow manufacturer — developed a modern barebow aiming and shooting system called "become the arrow" for longbow and recurve shooters. It is easy to learn, reliable and puts your mental and physical focus where it belongs. You'll learn the incredible value of visualization, too.

 

The arrow is the only thing that extends from shooter to target; it is the only projection of yourself, of your concentration and focus. So why shouldn't you "become the arrow"!

 

Extensive material on bowhunting also included. A skilled hunter, Ferguson has tagged more than 160 whitetail deer, plus record-book black bear, moose, pronghorn, mule deer, upland game birds and countless small game. He gives you the benefit of his hunting experience, too, far beyond the "become the arrow" aiming and shooting concept.

 

Illustrated with photos, drawings, forms and charts.

Core Archery by Larry Wise

Core Archery

by Larry Wise

View Details |

What is Core Archery?

It is about proper back tension ... and much more!

Core Archery is a systematic set of archery shooting form steps built around the proper use of your skeleton. Throughout each form step the governing theme is to maximize skeleton and minimize muscle.

If you do this, your form will be energy efficient, fatigue resistant and highly repeatable.

Core Archery is a complete system of archery shooting form, presented here as the sequence of proper mental and physical actions required to launch an arrow to the target center. It consists of only the necessary and sufficient action needed, and it has been validated by numerous archers.
This book gives you the insight into good archery shooting form that will allow you to find the form you've lost, or to gain it for the first time. Most important, when you learn Core Archery, you'll be able to repeat your form.

After all, archery is a simple two-step sport. Step One is to learn to shoot a ten. Step Two is to repeat Step One!
