## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unbelievable insights on Eastern Style Archery
*by A***N on November 10, 2021*

I bought this book because I was fascinated with the consistent historical accounts of how lethal and effective the Hun's archers were. I bought this book to learn how they and other archers from the surrounding areas perfected their craft. Totally different mindset to modern archery and I love it. Much more fun to use a classic style Mongolian Horse Bow with a thumb ring and no sights or nock rest (in my opinion). Check out Lars Andersen's archery videos on YouTube if you missed the first wave of them going viral. Perfect example of someone breathing new life into an almost forgotten art of Eastern Style Archery.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Like the Text, Illustrations are Amazing.
*by D***G on January 1, 2021*

Loved the E-book for the mindblowing insight into ancient archery, and decided to get the physical (the aim to learn rapid fire like Lars Anderson).I did not realize it even had illustrations (which the B&N E-book lacks), and was so stoked to see the finger numerals and nocking / drawing positions that I had to leave a review. I feel terrible for past reviewers with poorly printed copies, but I absolutely love mine, and look forward to putting the buttery smooth '63' draw into practice. One day I'll fire 3 arrows in 1.5 seconds... one day... :3

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Primary Source Book
*by R***N on June 15, 2009*

The one real negative, which anyone who owns other Kessinger Publishing books should come to expect, is that the text is a copy from either the original source, or as is the case here, from a translation published in 1940 or 1945 (not sure which). Some of these books have better quality print than others, and I would say this book is overall very good.The worst quality is probably the images you can't really see on p41 showing the Turkish bow & siper, and a demonstration of the "63" lock, and again on p97 showing knots, and the image of bows is about 45% visible. The Arabic finger reckoning image and the "6-different draws (locks) are great. The rest of the text is quite clear. Here is an interesting quote:On p26 it says, "The archer can determine the weight of his bow in several ways. One way is to take his bow, brace it, grasp the grip with his left hand, hold the string with the index, middle, and ring finger of his right hand, and then draw the string up to the elbow of the left arm. Next, release the ring finger and continue to draw until the full length of the arrow is drawn. If he can hold the drawn bow without shaking or trembling or straining, this will be the limit of his own draw and the one fit for aiming and shooting. If, on the other hand, at the release of the ring finger, his hand should shake and tremble and be unable to draw the string to the full arrow length, then the bow is a heavier one than he can handle."There are 47 chapters and the table of contents includes:1) On the Holy War and Service of Archery Therein2) The Excellence of the Arab Bow3) Different kinds of Bows4) Nomenclature5) On the Master Archers6) Principles of Loosing7) Determining Various Factors of the Bow8) Bracing9) Curvature10) Draws & Locks11) Aiming & Releasing12) Injuries & Treatment13) Corrections14) Causing the Arrow to Move in Flight15) Wind16) Strings17) Arrows, Targets, AccessoriesThere's a lot more but that's the basics. This book is excellent for anyone interested in traditional archery or looking for primary source information on old world archery.
