Yes, that is a great book, it list a text book for about everything. After I had major problems with paper tuning and I got good ad is from Rod Jenkins I went to group tuning and it made a huge difference. This video helped

Or search "arrow tuning recurve" on YouTube.

Anthony's book is a classic. You will find other problems along the way and that book will help with just about every one. By the way, his handle hear is Viper and he posts frequently about shooting problems.

"Shooting The Stickbow" won't all make sense at first read. The more you learn, the more it will make sense. I go book and read parts of it periodically.

And if you aren't shooting VERY clean, a lot of it won't matter. It is a really good discipline to mess with bare shaft tuning every few months.

Masters of the Barebow Vol II. This is the second video in the series. Shows 3 different methods.

Ken Beck from Black Widow has some good information out there on YouTube...while you're waiting on books, it would give you some good info to digest.

Happy hunting, Jason

More than you will ever need right here. At least my 15 years of stick shooting says so. Yes i know some of you have been shooting way longer...

Whut Darkarcher sed.

You don't need to spend the $ on a book. That link right there is the "Gold Standard" as it is.

Then once you get that down, you can then go on to these if you're using an elevated rest and plunger.

What Darkarcher said, but you should click on 'download printable version'.

Tony's book is not the answer for this question - it answers everything.

If you'd really want a book that's probably overkill, I'd suggest "Modern Recurve Tuning" by Richard A Cockrell. It's very good.
