I love to read, and what better than to combine two things you love to do. What books on bow making, or archery history would you suggest? Thanks in advance.

I love the Witchery of Archery, but, hey, That's the area I hunt in Astoria along the St. Johns River.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Besides the ones mentioned, some of my favorites on my shelf are Toxicated by Fred Anderson; A Thousand Campfires by Jay Massey; Bows on the Little Delta by Glenn St. Charles; The whole 4-volume set of The Traditional Bowyer's Bible; Hunting With the Bow and Arrow by Saxton Pope; both volumes of Encyclopedia of Native American Bows, Arrows, and Quivers by Hamm and Allely; Fred Bear's Field Notes, and Hunting the Hard Way by Howard Hill.

I know, just jokes. I have a hard time giving loaned books back. I had a teacher years ago tell me that a book is never to be given back, only given to someone else. I guess I may have taken that to heart.
