Core Archery
by Larry Wise

As an archer Larry Wise has done it all. He is a world-famous tournament archer, is recognised as one of the top coaches in the archery world, and has written numerous books and articles on archery technique and bow maintenance.

Core Archery, his latest book, is a complete system of shooting form, presented here in a logical and easy-to-follow sequence of mental attitudes and physical acts that, when properly combined, will launch an arrow to the target centre. The secret is consistency and expending only the necessary and sufficient energy needed to get the jog done (i.e., win the match or bag the buck).

Core Archery gives any shooter, compound or traditional, the insight into proper and effective shooting form that will allow the form you are capable of achieving to develop in the shortest time possible.

As Larry says, "archery is a simple two-step sport. Step One is to learn to shoot a ten. Step Two is to repeat Step One!"

Core Archery is a soft-cover book with 76 pages and lots of drawings and photos.
