Anyone have any good bowhunting book suggestions? I just finished Crimson Arrow (a good read) and need more material.

If anyone is looking, I suggest "Sound of the String" by Brad Isham. It gives a view of the spiritual side of bowhunting and our connection with our quarry. It is a very good read. (I've read it 3 times in the last year)

Thanks FUZZ

Look for 'A Thousand Campfires' by the late Jay Massey. Also, anything by E. Donnal Thomas. These are 'traditional' oriented but bow-hunting is bow-hunting.

Bows of the Little Delta, Witchery of Archery, these are also "old school books" but really enjoyed them.

Hunting with the Bow and Arrow by Saxton Pope

I read this about once per year. I think it should re required reading for all bowhunters:)
