Mr. Camera has done the archery community a great service by penning this book. As a beginner I couldn't have spent my $20.00 more wisely.

The picture quality is reasonable to good but should be improved upon in future editions.

Comments about Shooting the Stickbow:

Anthony Camera has given us a book with information gleaned from many years of collected wisdom. The topics covered are "encyclopedic" in breadth and he presents multiple perspectives on many of the topics with no bias. The result is a guide for the stickbow shooter that will will be referenced over and over for years of enjoyment. Mr. Camera has indeed made an important contribution to our sport with "Shooting the Stickbow."

If you are a "stick bow" fanatic, this is your book. Informative and a complete archers guide.
Written in easy to understand language with some homespun humor thrown in. It's like having a good friend looking over your shoulder.
