This is not just a record book, though it does contain a listing of record animals taken with traditional bows. Instead, it's an epic cross-section of the spirit and soul of hunting with the bow and arrow. Whether you shoot a recurve, longbow or compound, this book will speak to you! Though provoking chapters and commentary explore the principles and values of bowhunting. Hunting stories from five different eras (including original text from Saxon Pope, Fred Bear, Glenn St. Charles, Nathan Andersohn and Pat Lefemine) compare and contrast the spirit, excitement and language over nearly 100 years of hunting with the traditional bow and arrow. Additional chapters provide a sampling of the finer aspects of the art and craft of bowhunting, stalking, hunting from the ground, instinctive shooting, bow building and customizing arrows. Contributors include T. J. Conrads, Dale Karch, Monty Browning, Marv Clyncke, G. Fred Asbell, Harverd Ebers, Fred Richter, Fred Eichler, Jay St. Charles, Tom Parsons and Dwight Schuh, in addition to those mentioned above. More than 7,750 record book entries taken with a longbow, recurve or selfbow. A Traditional Journey is a full-sized, hardbound book, 272 pages in length, with full color photos throughout the book. A book for every bowhunter's library---interesting, informational, inspiring and timeless.
