Description
The big arrow book for technical archery - Book - Dietmar Vorderegger
Christian Beck / Thomas Meine / Dietmar Vorderegger
260 pages
160 graphics and illustrations
Table of contents:
For a successful shot and a clean hit you need an archer, a bow and an arrow. If you were to rank the latter two in order of importance, the answer would be:
The arrow
The bow
This new book is aimed specifically at technical archers, from the blank bow to the Olympic recurve and compound. The pages contain everything you need to know about arrows.
After the first book "Das große Pfeilebuch für traditionelles Bogenschießen" by Dietmar Vorderegger and Thomas Meine, Christian Beck has been brought on board as a further co-author and specialist in the technical field.
