RE: Tuning your compound bow by Larry Wise
I did buy it. Even though it is the 4th edition all he did was add a couple sections about Hybrid cam bows and 3D tuning & shooting for bowhunting. He never updated what he had written before about tuning old bows. It is out of date I think, and does not help anyone tunetheir NEWbows. If you have an older type bow then yes this will help you. It does have some good info on setup of bows, but I think Im gonna stay with the Easton Tuning Guide. I did buy his new book "Core Archery" because I am younger andsince I started I have been self taught and have got into some bad from habits. Im hoping this book will set me straight. So far it seems really well written andeasy to follow with lots of pictures and diagrams.

For indepth info on hybrid cam&1/2's go to AT in the technical bow tuning forums.
Locate the sticky thread from Mike"Javi"Cooper. It's spot on info.

RE: Tuning your compound bow by Larry Wise
Redneck Bowhunter is right. Larry just added a couple of chapters to his earlier books. His books stilldiscuss shooting from the middle of the valley and carefully explanes why. I no longer have bows with enoughvalley toworry about.
Larry's books have some great information andyoucan learna lot, but don't expect to beable to tune your bow after reading it. The Easton tuning guide is much better.
Another source for tuning hybrid cams is John Dudley's website in the articles section. However, Mike Cooper (Javi) is a great source.
