RE: Wanting to get started in traditional archery.....
Welcome to traditional archery! I have to agree with Lilhunter's advice. I found Fred Asbell's book to be more helpful to me personally, but Byron Ferguson's book is not to be overlooked.
Asbell has a way of simplifying the mechanics associated with traditional archery and whetting your appetite to get out and start shooting. Plus, it works.
Blessings to you as you begin!
