Fred Asbell's books on instinctive shooting and stalking and still hunting. Both would be very instructive for new folks.

E. Donnal Thomas is a great writer, and conveys the true spirit of traditional archery/hunting. Longbows in the Far North and Longbow Country are both great reads.

TJ Conrad has a good primer for traditional archery newbies, and is the publisher of Traditional Bowhunter Magazine, another great resource.

Personally I would skip the books and pick up either Masters of the Bare Bow 3 or Accuracy factory.

"The Traditional Bowhunters Handbook" by T.J. Conrads is a great book for beginners or anyone else, for that matter.

Become the arrow by Byron Fergison was a good book for me when I started out , he also had a video become the arrow that went into futher details about his shooting style

I began my traditional journey some 10 years ago with TJ Conrad's book, the Traditional Bowhunters Handbook, and G. Fred Asbell's books on stalking and shooting. I would recommend those very same books to this very day.

Barry looks like Kenny Rogers in that pic.
