Does anyone have the name of a good reference book that could be purchased, dealing with not only information on tuning but also indepth aspects of bow maintenance?

Thanks Dan. Got into the sport a few years ago and really enjoy it. There are a lot of good knowledgeable people in the area and also those that frequent this site. I just thought it would be helpful to have a book along that line to assist in some of the maintenance aspects. I took early retirement so I have the time available.
Next on the agenda is to get back into a regular shooting schedual as well as more club involvement. I have a rotator 'problem' that surfaces to haunt me on accasion, but that's getting back to normal, so,.............. Anyway, I would really appreciate it if you let me know if come across a good appropaite book.

John,
These titles come highly recommended. The one that stands out among long-time archers seems to be the second one down on the list - Core Archery.

You'll note that Lancaster archery seems to be a popular place to get books/dvd's..........might be worth looking into. http://lancasterarchery.com/shop/


Hope these help you.

Thanks BowWaker. That should keep me out of mischief for a while. Oh, I used to work with a guy that I believe is a member of the club in Victoria. Dennis Maltais?
Anyway, thanks again.
