Here's Just A Few of the Positive Reviews of Longbow!

Traditional Bowhunter Magazine (David Tetzlaff): "Campbell has always been about the method of the hunt, not the outcome. ... At it's core, Longbow is a book about life and how one man copes with both the unpredictable tragedies and the self-inflicted ... when love is lost and found, the unconditional trust of a child is tested ... and about how a man should live, and more importantly, be remembered."

E. Donnall Thomas Jr: "Campbell … gives the bows, the animals, and their pursuit the due they deserve, [but] the themes he explores with greatest passion are more complex: divorce, marriage, cancer, family, despair, redemption. … Campbell [has] a sure-footed and thoughtful prose style that would distinguish his work from the field no matter what the topic of the chapter.”

Gene Wensel: "[Campbell] knows the difference between looking and seeing. To write well is rare, but Campbell writes vividly about his outdoor passions, which is rarer still. This book is your ticket to adventure."

Quote from Longbow: A hunting Life: “Adventure and excitement have their place, to be sure. I can’t chase anything with a longbow and not feel a thrill. But thrills need perspective. The how and why of hunting is more important than the what, or the where, or with whom. I have tried to bring that perspective to these pages along with excitement. The perspective that in hunting - as in life - the joy is in the journey. The outcome is an afterthought.”  We hope you find the book a worthwhile addition to your traditional library. Come see us on Facebook! Best, Jay and Karen Campbell.

Longbow is a great read, folks!   There is a depth to it that is lacking in many hunting books.  Treat yourself.  You will be pleasantly surprised.

Great timing. I just finished Mark Bakers book today.
A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight;nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety;is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free,unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Thanks for all of the kind words! We would love to hear from everyone about the book, what you liked and didn't, as we roll it out. This picture is of Karen with her buff, from the chapter "Prescription Buffalo". She took this with a 70# O.L. Adcock bow, and one 1020 grain arrow. Karen and I sign and personally endorse every book purchased from  www.campbellsquest.com.  Best, Jay and Karen Campbell

This is a great book. Very well written and entertaining to boot. Jay has a way with words. You need to check out his photo gallery web page too. VERY good photography! We have a Christmas book and DVD special going on our website as well so don't spend all your hard earned money with the Campbells :>)

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

Longbow is a great book. Once I started it I was unable to put it down till I finished it. I wrote a review on the book at Simply Traditional if you are interested.

You won't regret picking up a copy!

I was both honored and terrified when Don Thomas asked me to write the review of Longbow for TBM. If I ever had to get something right, this was it. Longbow is a critically important read for the hunting archer who takes afield more than the desire for a bloodtrail and takes home much more than meat and antlers.

Jay has a Zen like approach to everything he does from boating to bowhunting to his amazing prowess behind the camera lens. And this is evident in every chapter of the book.

And when you finish Longbow-and I defy you to put it down-please share it with your non-hunting family and friends. You will be doing our sport a favor, trust me.
