RE: Can a book teach me the fundamentals?
My first year of bowhunting I purchased a book called "Bowhunting Equipment and Skills" and have been a long time subscriber to the magazine "Kentucky Game and Fish". Honestly, I've learned more from going out with experienced friends and being shown "the ropes". Everytime I go out, I keep track of the lessons learned or reinforced that day. Now that I have some experience, I look back at the books and articles and gather some different things to try.
