I haven't seen Ferguson's video, but I do think the book has a lot of great information in it. I do have Ricky Welch's video, and it's got some good information, but I am not convinced his style would work as well for longer shots.

I've never understood how G. Fred's books and videos became so popular. I have one video and have thumbed through the books. Some good info, but a lot I don't agree with at all. The people I've ever talked with who said that trying a particular style really screwed up their shooting were invariably trying the Asbell method, and it seems lately he's been re-explaining his methods.

In the video, there is no defined target to show if he's actually hitting the spot he means to--he only makes some short shots at hay bales. He does group a few arrows, but does nothing impressive for someone with his reputation.

Evidently he's doing something right because he's made a name for himself with it, but I have yet to figure it out. I see and talk to some very good shots (and a lot of average ones) that basically use either the Ferguson or Welch method; I've never saw a consistently good shooter using the Asbell method.

Back to the question: if I had to pick one or the other, I'd go with the Ferguson video, but I think you can pick up information from both.
