Inspirational Materials and References Page

Here is a list of all the books, websites, bloggers, and vloggers which have, and continue to, educate and inspire me through my own primitive archery journey. I’m absolutely certain that these resources will be of interest to any budding traditional bowyer or primitive archery nut!

I’ve included links to all of the digital resources as well as links to where you can buy copies of the books.
