DR. ED ASHBY’S NEW BOOK
« on: September 29, 2015, 12:16:00 PM »
I would like to call your attention to Dr Ed Ashby’s new book , “NOW”

Not a book about Dr. Ed Ashby’s arrow and braodhead studies and more than just a Fireside book, "Now, …" is an amazing 350 pages of bowhunting and “bush-bumming” how-to, knowledge and lore, sprinkled with humor and bowhunting insights, told as only the Old Derelict (fictitious character ) can! Drawn from over 50 years of worldwide i experience these articles, written anonymously for over a decade for Archery Action, in Australia, are selected stories by Dr. Ed Ashby

They covers everything from his misadventure with Montezuma Beans and Six-Can-Stew to shoe selection for stalking, how to track game, how to practice for hunting shots, how to stalk, what skills define the successful hunter, making and using predator calls, why we miss shots at game and much, much more. Learn how an archer never known for his shooting ability became one of the world’s most successful bowhunters. Best known for his technical writings on terminal arrow performance, here the reader meets Dr. Ashby’s plain-spoken alternate persona – the Old Derelict Bowhunter.


Your Purchase of “Now, …" Helps Support Our Wounded Service Members. 100% of the author’s profits from sales of “Now, …” go to Fisher House Foundation, a charitable organization that provides assistance to the families of severely wounded warriors, so that the family members can be with their loved ones during their period of recovery.

The book can be purchased at   http://vintagearcheryco.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=12&products_id=68  

I think you will enjoy it.    :)

Just placed my order.  Looks like it will be a great read, and a good book for my trad archery library!

Hi everybody. I had the honor of previewing the rough draft of this book about a year ago and I highly recommend it! We all know Dr. Ashby’s technical, scientific testing side but in this book we get to know the man as a regular guy. As Joe mentioned, the book is a collection/compilation of short articles, stories, and tips on hunting in general. (look for the word “General” in the contents btw). There are no references to high foc set ups or single bevel BHDs, just a bunch of really good stories and how to tips from a guy who spent a whole lotta time out in the bush hunting all over the world. “The old Derelict” can be a very funny guy too! I can think of several articles and stories included that by themselves would be well worth the cost of the book. As usual, Ed’s not making a dime off the proceeds either, choosing instead to donate all profits from sales to Fisher House in support of our severely wounded US servicemen and women. Great book from a truly great guy.  :thumbsup:

For those that have ordered  Dr.Ed’s Book NOW we have started shipping them in the sequence  we received the order.

There is going to be a several weeks delay for some as demand has out stripped our wildest dream. This is print on demand book and between high demand and slower than anticipated printing time we are behind in shipments. SORRY!


If you are one that has to wait I apologize however I am sure you will find that the wait was worth it.
