"[Archery for Beginners] even goes beyond the basics, exploring the physics of arrow flight and includes a short section with instructions on how to make your own bow and arrow which will appeal to survivalists who enjoy do-it-yourself projects. It is an enjoyable read and a thorough primer for beginners and would make a valuable addition to any archer or martial artist's library."-- The Philippine Reporter
