## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book
*by  on Reviewed in the United States October 17, 2025*

Great book full of information.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The most important things to remember - all in one place and easy to understand
*by  on Reviewed in the United States July 2, 2019*

Jim Hamm does a great job in this short, sweet and to the point guidebook to fashioning your own traditional bow. He packs all the insights and learnings that are relevant to a novice bowyer from three books into one that is aimed at helping us make a good bow from square one, and wast as little lumber as possible.The book isn't a replacement for a good bow-building workshop or course, but even if you didn't attend one (and even if you did!) this book will put you on the right path and highlight for you the most important things to remember.Jim does this all with a very practical and easy to understand language, as well as lots of very helpful photos and sketches. He lists the tools you'll need (and the list is surprisingly short!), defines important terms, and provides detailed procedural instructions (and standard specifications) for several different models of bow, using various easily obtainable (and a few more exotic or premium) woods.It's still a go-to reference book for me, even after having attended a 3-day workshop and successfully crafted several bows on my own.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good read
*by  on Reviewed in the United States March 21, 2020*

I have been shooting traditional archery for over 55 years and have been an avid reader of traditional archery literature. This is concise and we'll written, if not a little basic. However, I would recommend this to beginners and avid archers alike.
