Description

Fascination Selfbow - Part 3: Shooting with the simple bow - Book - Wolfgang Gailer

For more than 45 years, the author has been fascinated by the making and shooting of historical bows. The reader shares in the author's wealth of experience, which has grown from his professional activities as a training officer for snipers in the Austrian Armed Forces and as a successful competition shooter with his own bows.

Valuable personal experience as an army champion with the rifle, multiple Austrian champion and European vice-champion with the selfbow are incorporated into the explanations, as well as decades of in-depth training in bow making.

The richly illustrated instructions also help newcomers to find their way around the subject matter. The author leaves enough leeway so that everyone can recognize for themselves which shooting style suits them best, which aiming technique improves their results and which bow best supports their personal ambition and enjoyment of archery. In-depth suggestions for advanced archers open up new approaches and development opportunities for ambitious archers.

The book lets you experience the charisma that emanates from shooting with truly traditional bows and awakens the desire to follow your own personal path with the self-bow in order to awaken your primal instincts and regain a piece of freedom and originality.
