Books - 'The Art of String Walking' and 'The Art of Barebow Shooting'

Been away for a month so didn't have time to post so doing it now in a new thread.

I shoot barebow. I shoot barebow seriously :) I now own both books: 'The Art of StringWalking: barebow field and 3D archery' and 'The Art of Barebow Shooting; and it's mental game'. Both by barebow archer and author Martin Godio who posts here. Both available from the usual places.

I will do a full review at some point, but just to say the first book is the best introduction to string walking and bow setup for string walking I have read. The second book is for serious, or those who want to get serious, about their string walking. Unlike the first book the second is not for the novice archer and Martin is quite clear on this. It is not a 'How to do it' book. It is more a discussion of the various techniques, problems and possible solutions encountered during barebow shooting; and in this respect it is outstanding. I highly recommend it and both books for barebow archers.

I can second both of these recommendations. But saying they are the best books on stringwalking available isn't saying much as these are about the only two in print. We had a World Champion Barebow Recurve archery to write such a book but that project fell through. Still looking for an author who is knowledgable and successful about Barebow and would like to have a book that covers both compound and recurve.
