Asbell's Book
« on: June 19, 2007, 08:12:00 AM »
I have Fred Asbell's first book on Instinctive Shooting... is the second book a necessity or does it just expand a bit on the first book...
I found the first book to be real helpful...
Time to start all over again after 5 yrs...

I think all of Fred's writing is valuable. The second book expands on the first. I have all 3 books on my nightstand, I re-read them often.

Heck, just the hunting stories in the back are worth the price of the books.

I own three of Fred's books. All good reads.

I have read both books, the video and taken the Bowhunting Clinic at Black Widow (aka G Fred bootcamp).  His hunting advice is great, his form and squatting forward facing combat handgun style of shooting is for the birds in my opinion.

I have had them both and passed them on to my son after reading, and re-reading them. It takes concentration, but when I put his words into practice I found that almost any bow became a fine shooting bow after just a few shots.

If you're a longbow shooter, would probably want to get the second book.  Pretty much limits his discussion to high wrist grips and recurves in the first book.
