Book Reviews of Archery Anatomy: An Introduction to Techniques for Improved Performance
Book Review: Very technical, very useful for intermed/advanced archers
Summary: 5 Stars
I own quite a few (probably too many!) books on archery. After a while they all start to sound the same, NOT SO with this book. It details the exact mucles and bones used in shooting a bow. It has many excellent labelled drawings so the techincal language is easier to follow than you would think. I have rotator cuff trouble and this book really helped me with this. Explanations of how to hold the string are particularly good. I do not recommend this for beginners, you really should start with a less technical book. Otherwise it's an excellent value.
Summary of Archery Anatomy: An Introduction to Techniques for Improved Performance
Knowledge of the interrelationship between the anatomy of the human body and the anatomy of the bow is fundamental in improving archery skill and technique. The detailed drawings and the clear, descriptive text in this book explain how the skeleton and muscles should be used to improve overall performance in a natural way without artificial or coached movements. A primer for coaches and performers as well as an analysis of the sport itself, this guide provides an understanding of the sport without emphasizing any national or international rules, making it useful to archers throughout the world.
