Just A Few of the Positive Reviews of Longbow!

Traditional Bowhunter Magazine (David Tetzlaff): "Campbell has always been about the method of the hunt, not the outcome. ... At it's core, Longbow is a book about life and how one man copes with both the unpredictable tragedies and the self-inflicted ... when love is lost and found, the unconditional trust of a child is tested ... and about how a man should live, and more importantly, be remembered."

E. Donnall Thomas Jr: "Campbell … gives the bows, the animals, and their pursuit the due they deserve, [but] the themes he explores with greatest passion are more complex: divorce, marriage, cancer, family, despair, redemption. … Campbell [has] a sure-footed and thoughtful prose style that would distinguish his work from the field no matter what the topic of the chapter.”

Allen Morris Jones: "It’s rare to find genuine, open-eyed honesty in a ’hook and bullet’ writer. … Longbow is not only the outline of a life well lived, it’s also a showcase of damn fine writing. Buy this book!"

Gene Wensel: "[Campbell] knows the difference between looking and seeing. To write well is rare, but Campbell writes vividly about his outdoor passions, which is rarer still. This book is your ticket to adventure."

Brian Kelly: "Just wanted to let you know I'm enjoying your book. Inspirational is an understatement. Thanks again. You all keep doing what you’re doing."

Kerry Pitt: "If you have not bow hunted, if you have. If you rifle hunt or whatever. If you grew up kicking around the country hunting and discovering yourself you need to buy this book and read it a few times. It will take you back to those places you love the most and to places you would like to explore. Best of all you get to go with the author, someone I would aspire to hunt with. Trust me it will be a great winter read"

Quote from Longbow: A hunting Life: “Adventure and excitement have their place, to be sure. I can’t chase anything with a longbow and not feel a thrill. But thrills need perspective. The how and why of hunting is more important than the what, or the where, or with whom. I have tried to bring that perspective to these pages along with excitement. The perspective that in hunting - as in life - the joy is in the journey. The outcome is an afterthought.”
The how and why of hunting is more important than the what, or the where, or with whom. In hunting - as in life - the joy is in the journey.
