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?

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

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.
