Hi Dave!
Monte Browning’s Bowhunting, A Passion for Life is great. Any of the Capstick books kept my attention, as well as any of G. Fred’s.I like Massey as a writer. I had a book by Peterson on Elk hunting that was good as well. Gene Wensel is another writer I like.

For a novel-Shogun by Clavell. A great book. There is some bow and arrow stuff in there. (Ok very little) Whether or not it’s believable is another discussion.

If you enjoy reading about fair chase elk hunting with traditional bows, Dave Petersen is the man. Many books, in particular; Elkheart, Going Trad, and A Man Made of Elk. He's an intelligent, brilliant author.

One that may not be as well known is "Teachers in the Forest" the author is Barry Babcock. He is a long time traditional bowhunter from Minnesota. Here is a clip of the review that was done in Traditional Bowhunter Magazine when it came out.

"The teachings contained within this book belong to the author’s decades afield as both hunter and self-provider and are also strongly influenced by his close ties to the Ojibwe people and their connection to the land and its animals.”  —Traditional Bowhunter Magazine

Try to find the series of hard cover books called the Legends of the Longbow. I think there are 29 books in each numbered series, by Glenn St Charles. This is a collection of archery history, hunting, instruction, and so on. These were published in the early '90s as a one every month or so, there were 1250 sets published.
