Title: Good book
Post by: follow maggie on June 26, 2009, 12:13:55 AM: I'm pretty new to bow hunting and I look to do as much of my own stuff as possible. I haven't been able to fins a book on tuning my bow- how to make it shoot better, replace a string, add things like loops or peeps to the string, how to fix it, stuff like that. Can anyone recommend a good book for a beginner to learn about his bow? A book with pictures would be awesome- I can be kind of dense, sometimes.
