Head to the range with the skills to hit the bull’s-eye. Archery Fundamentals will have you shooting on target in no time.

Instruction in all the essentials--from stringing the bow through the anchor to learning aim, grip, and release--will put your technique right on the mark. Sequential instructions and accompanying photographs will guide your execution through every phase of the shot.

In addition, you’ll find inside tips for choosing and maintaining equipment as well as using accessories to improve your accuracy with both recurve and compound bows. You’ll also discover how to use arrow patterns to correct errors. And, if you want to compete, you’ll appreciate the recommendations for entering and participating in archery tournaments.

Archery Fundamentals is a better, faster way to learn the basics. With this book, you’ll have as much fun learning the art of shooting as you’ll have hitting your mark consistently.

Summary: Qualified author but not a great book.
Comment: The author of this book is a high level archery instructor and has been (still is?) in charge of the archery training program called NADA, which runs the basic archery training for the NAA and the NFAA, so you'd think this would be a great book. Well, that is what I thought, but I can't say as I think it came out that way.

The Archery Fundamentals is restricted, in part, by being part of a series that tries to cover sports basics. The book covers a wide array of topics, and sometimes in too little detail to be of use. I don't recommend this book, though others have found it useful to them, so clearly there is room for disagreement. Some people like "Shooting the Stickbow"--but I haven't read it and can't personally vouch for it at this time and it is strictly for people who want to learn about regular bows--not "compound" bows, the kind with pulleys.

However, the training run by NADA is good, as are the training materials they put out for coaches. If you are interested in archery, books are a great way to learn additional information, but a local archery range or JOAD program with certified coaches is a good way to get into the sport.

Summary: Very useful book - well deserving of 5-stars
Comment: I wanted a straight-forward introduction and that's exactly what I got. I wanted to know how to maintain and how to use my newly acquired second-hand compound bow - this book gave me all the information I needed. This book is also well written and well edited - ezpowell.com
