Despite the important interrelationship in archery between the anatomy of the human body and the anatomy of the bow, no book on the subject has previously been published.

Archery Anatomy will therefore be an important and unique primer for coaches and performers alike. Detailed drawings combined with explanatory text explain how the skeleton and muscles should be used to improve performance in the most natural way, without artificial or strained movements. The book will stimulate analysis and understanding of the sport and, since it is not tied to any national or international rules, it will be useful to archers throughout the world, regardless of what discipline is practised. Coming at a time when sports science is becoming an essential qualification for all coaches, it is likely to be recognised as the standard work on the subject.

Reviews for Archery Anatomy: An Introduction to Techniques for Improved Performance

This is a book which everyone involved with the coaching or instruction of archery should possess, including those at the receiving end... The subject-matter and its presentation are such that they will still be valid for half a century hence, and probably for much longer. -- . * `The British Archer' *
