'Understanding Winning Archery' by Al Henderson is one book I keep dipping back into. Lots of useful advice - but only on small portions

Really impressed with 'Total Archery' and has taken over from 'The Simple Art of Winning' as my favourite.

I've had 'Archery Anatomy' for some time now, while not an easy read, I've found some chapters useful - particularily regarding string hand. However recently I've found it much more useful used along side Total Archery and working on alignment.

I was far from impressed with 'Archery Steps to Success'.

I've found that that the key to any of the books, is to use them in small portions. By all means read the whole book at the start. But when it comes to applying the advice, focus on a small area, work on that and then dip in again. Avoid information overload.

Any of these suitable for beginners? I do think 'Total Archery' comes closest. While it has a lot advanced topics, the chapters are well broken down, allowing specific elements to be picked out.

Also don't forget the Easton Arrow Tuning Guide. Free download and has plent of advice on equipment set up.
