Murray / Hazel (2 copies) |
| Archery Shot Execution: A Total
Muscle Control Approach |
Larry Skinner |
“presents an approach to shot
execution that will provide you with the tools to improve your performance
regardless of whether you shoot a recurve or compound bow”… allegedly.
The concepts are a little vague, and he talks a lot about focussing
on specific muscles… but interesting nevertheless. |
Murray |
| Precision Archery |
Steve Ruis & Claudia Stevenson |
Covers most of the popular areas
to do with Target & Field Archery. Written with input from top archers
Don Rabska, Rick McKinney and Larry Wise. Chapters covering Coaching
and Technique, Tuning both Recurve and Compound, and the Mind Game.
I found it a bit of a mish mash, but certainly some useful ideas are
presented. |
Murray |

Discusses, in detail, why we use the shooting forms we use, and all
the pros and cons of differing body types. Very technical, but very
