Comments about The Traditional Way By: Fred Anderson:

Archers tend to be subjective and Fred Anderson no less so, but writes with authority and insight into the heart of traditional archery. Anderson is a veteran who has lived archery and is more than qualified to write about it. Reading this book, one feels a connection to the woods, streams and a sense of adventure. The book delivers a balance of the love and philosophy of trad archery, as well as practical advice to keep the romantics level-headed. Read straight through, or skip ahead a few chapters according to your interest. a great reference to come back to over and over again. Will keep you connected and in tune.

Comments about The Traditional Way By: Fred Anderson:

Compared to such archery and bow hunting books like "Bows On The Little Delta", "Hunting The Hard Way" and the "Adventures Of Fred Bear"' this one is really sleep inducing, sanctimonious, boring and even a bit patronizing.

Comments about The Traditional Way By: Fred Anderson:

Interestingly enough, in a sense, this book is in part a "Who's Who" in the great Whoville of archery in the United States; specifically, with regard to innovation in laminate limb production after WWII in Southern California and the respected bowyers of that region. I found myself questioning some long-held beliefs about mega-production companies. In addition, the author's traditional archery values are evident throughout. If you love shooting arrows, you'll enjoy this reading very much. I found it difficult to put it down for any length of time.

Comments about The Traditional Way By: Fred Anderson:

This is not a how to book. It is however a book that talks of the romance and joy of carrying a bow throughout a lifetime by one of the premier longbow builders. I have reread this book many times.
