Got to thank Whip for his post about Ed Pitchkites and his book. I am sorry to say I hadn't heard of this book but from the reaction it sounds like a "got to get" book.

Was wondering what other books are out there that are "must haves" for traditional archers???

Anything by the Wensel Brothers, anything by Fred Asbell, anything by Don Thomas, and anything by Glenn St.Charles. Plus a bunch of others.

The Witchery of Archery

I highly recommend "The Old Bowhunter" by Chet Stevenson. One of my favorite reads.

1000 Campfires by Jay Massey, Bows of the Little Delta by Glenn St.Charles, Longbows of the Far North by Don Thomas, Trailing A Bear by Bob Munger to name a few.

What about Ishi?

Some great suggestions there already. I'd add Roger Rothaar's Whitetail Magic and Pursuit of Trophy Whitetails. Fred Anderson's The Traditional Way. Mark Seidschlag's Autumn Leaves and Searching For The Wild. Billy Ellis's Hunter To The Dawn. Any of Dave Petersons books, especially Man Made Of Elk.

That should get you through the rest of December.

I alway enjoy reading FRED BEAR FIELD NOTES and any of G F Asbell books...

Guide to Better Archery, Thomas Forbes; Archery, From Golds to Big Game, Keith Schuyler;
Modern Bowhunting, Hiram Grogan; Bucks and Bows, Walter Perry. Yes, they are all old books, and are great reads.

If there is one book that brought me to traditional archery, it is "Hunting with the Bow and Arrow" by Saxton Pope.

ANY "How-To" Book!!

straitera · « **Reply #12 on:** December 13, 2009, 10:37:00 PM »

Any of the Massey books especially "1000 Campfires". IMO Saxton Pope's "Hunting with the Bow and Arrow" should be in every library along with "Witchery of Archery". Glenn St. Charles' "Bows on the Little Delta" is full of great hunting stories.

Same as faustus. "Hunting with the Bow and Arrow". After reading this, I bought my first longbow. Things have never been the same since.

Long bows in the far north by Don Thomas...

Chet Stevenson, Fred Asbell, Glen St.Charles,and Don Thomas is no particular order. Their all great.

Check out all the books in 3 Rivers catalog. Some of the titles are even available through your public library.

Hit-or-Miss · « **Reply #19 on:** December 14, 2009, 07:45:00 PM »

"The Archers Bible" by Fred Bear, either the 1968 version, or the 2nd edition. Great book, no longer in print, but often for sale on E-bay.
