Customer Reviews

Definitive and enjoyable

I had reached a plateau. I had made steady improvement with daily practice, then could not seem to improve any further. When this book arrived, I stopped shooting and read it through. Bernie was very convincing about not only what to do, but why to do it his way. It is also entertaining to read. Just one of his tips made an immediate improvement. Following his plan, I have a blueprint about how to make steady improvement. Some readers have criticized this book claiming that Bernie is just trying to sell his products. I didn't find that at all. He offers his products, and explains how they work, but does not insist that you "must" have them. In fact he criticizes the archery industry for pushing products rather than coaching good tecnique. I will not let this book go. I have already referred back to it numerous times to hone my skills. This book does not make archery easy, but it does give you a plan and hope for becoming better - with a lot of work. I recommend this book to archers of all experience.

Idiot Proof Archery

Great source of information on how deal with target panic. Would also recommend the book for beginners. It can help a lot with learning a good form and doing things right from start instead of dealing with a bad form and relearning how to shoot later.

The only way to shoot archey.

The best book anyone could buy to learn archery. The only cure for target panic you'll ever find. After 25 years of archery hunting and tournaments, I've read most of the books out there and nothing else is even close. Rich

Humorous and on target!

Bernie Pellerite is right on target with his no nonsense and humorous approach to archery. It's easy to read and captivating at the same time. Highly recommended!

If you have target panic or want to improve, read this!

This book is an excellent overview of the authors (Bernie's) mobile shooters school. It covers bow set up, tuning, shooting form, the shot sequence and mental aspects of archery and much more. The author is a NFAA master coach and does a nice job of uncovering a lot of misconceptions about archery as well as pointing out many of the things that are often overlooked that will help your game. This book has a lot of great information but unfortunately it lacks an index. It is mostly geared for the compound target archer, however, there is also a nice section covering 3D and bowhunting.
