Bow Hunting: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Bowhunting And What You Need to Know by Julian Hulse is an introductory guide to bow hunting. I have never bow hunted and knew very little about this activity so this book provided me with some basic information. Topics discussed include: vision, dominant eye, weight of the bow, targeting, strength, endurance, weather conditions, timing, stance, when to shoot, and safety. There is a short section on the history of the bow. As with many activities bow hunting has its own vocabulary that is important to understand. The days of placing an arrow, pointing, and letting the arrow fly seem to be history. Today, bow and arrow skills are very refined and technical. From the construction of the bow and arrow to the protective items you wear, everything is high-tech. Briefly discussed are animal rights and the rather bleak outlook of bow hunting.Overall Assessment:Bow Hunting: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Bowhunting And What You Need to Know by Julian Hulse is a very basic guide to provide you some rudimentary information on the topic. You will still need to conduct further research but this is definitely a good and recommended starting point.
