Archery

By: Natalie and Gilman Keasey Reichart

As we are preparing this revised edition, archery is still in its ascendancy as an American sport. It is probably the fastest growing sport in the country today. Improvement is being made in the manufacture of fine tackle. Schools are turning out hundreds of potential target-archers and hunters. Theatres, magazines, and books are providing information about modern conditions as well as archery traditions. It appears that we are entering a sort of archery renaissance, which will bring about higher scoring standards and a wider field of activity. The relaxed method, serving well both the target archer and the field archer, seems to be foremost among the methods in use. We are gratified to be able to say that among those who have spoken approvingly of our description of the fundamental principles of shooting the bow have been not only of the highest-scoring archers in the United States, but English and Canadian archers as well. We hope this little volume will continue to meet the approval of those who take pleasure in teaching or performing in the field of archery. [from Preface]
