Got selected on the last pass along thread on the other site. Read this classic in one comfortable evening and can't say enough about it. Jay Massey was a truly incredible man. I had dreamed about reading this book for several years and it didn't disappoint. It's back in the mix.

I was fortunate to buy a copy for a hundred bucks a month or so ago. Something I have been after for a while. Great book.

Agreed, I’ve owned a copy for a lot of years and it’s well worth a re read every year or two

The book is excellent. I had a signed copy until I lent it to a friend. Both are gone.

Excellent read. If you can ever find one to buy, I would suggest snatching it up immediately.

This is a great read, as are the Wensels, Lamb and others. One of my very most favorites is Bows on the Little Delta, bowhunting and adventure.

Finished up the set with "The Bowyers Craft". Last couple chapters really lay it out. Mr. Massey pulls no punches in his view of what archery should be and how it should remain.

Bows on the Little Delta is the best bowhunting "adventure" book I've ever read.
