Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. Size: 0x0x0; Some general wear to dustjacket. Alaskans are a different breed. They hunt a little harder, live a little larger. And if an Alaskan becomes one of archery's foremost bowyers, he won't do it by following the herd. Such is the case with Jack Harrison, whose latest book, Traditional Bowyer, More Unnecessary Fun takes bowmaking to a new high. With 800 pages and over 1, 000 photographs, Traditional Bowyer explains in detail how to build exceptional longbows, with 14 chapters on bowmaking theory and construction, plus others on setting up a shop, bow forms, bowstrings, arrows, snakeskin backings, ballistic charts, bowhunting strategies, and more. Much of the detailed information results from a $250, 000 archery research grant provided by the State of Alaska. "The goal I kept in mind during the development of my bows was to meet the challenge of building a longbow which drew 60 pounds at 28 inches and shot a 540-grain arrow 200 feet per second or faster. Early in 1991, I was able to reach this goal, and by the time I began writing this book...If that quote intrigues you, this book is a must-have for your archery or bowhunting library. Rarely offered in dustjacket.
