DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book will guide you through the 'mysteries' and 'black magic' of StringWalking so you will see that there are neither 'mysteries' nor 'black magic' involved. StringWalking is complex, but you can easily tune your bow to shoot accurately where you aim. To stringwalk, you hold the string at different places (crawls) according to the distance to the target and use the tip of the arrow to aim. You grip the string closer to the nock for longer distance targets and grip it farther down from the nock for closer targets. However, drawing the string from different places is stressful on the bow, since its parameters (tiller, power stroke, etc.) change from shot to shot as the crawl changes. Therefore, the correct tuning of the bow to its arrows is trickier than for other shooting techniques. If you want to obtain good results, you must tune the bow so that it works, more or less, accurately at all distances, when using different crawls. We will start by defining the Barebow Class and the many ways of aiming without sights, which includes StringWalking. We will analyze bow mechanics, both in a simple situation (gripping the string from one point) and when StringWalking (gripping the string from different points). We will also consider criteria for equipment selection, the riser, limbs, bow length, draw weight, balance, etc. There are special sections on rest, button, tab, arrows, etc. Then, we will analyze how to set up our equipment and the different ways of tuning it. Tuning is therefore very personal, but with a little work and dedication, you can achieve excellent results. Then you will enjoy the sight of your arrows flying, with accuracy, from a well-tuned, well-behaved bow.Finally, we introduce the form of competition in which the barebow is at home. We explain the rules and how the competition works. Preparation for a day in the field is explained and we give hints on how to approach shooting in natural surroundings and how to perfect your distance judgement skills.So, at the end of this book not only will you will be able to enjoy the sight of your arrows flying accurately from a well behaved bow, but from that bow in a natural and enjoyable setting.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThere are many books about shooting Compound and Recurve bows but no book deals with the specific problems of the BAREBOW archer, as this book does. It presents a systematic, biomechanically efficient BAREBOW technique. A starting point to help you decide how you shoot and settle on your own shooting style, it will still serve as your guide for many years of competitive and enjoyable archery. Archery is a performance sport, no matter how good your aim if you fail in the shot execution, you miss. The shooting process is what makes you accurate and a biomechanically efficient BAREBOW technique will make this easier. The techniques described in this book are relevant to any barebow or traditional archer, not just Stringwalkers. Correct use of muscles, joints, and bones is needed to ensure energy is not wasted. This requires good alignment, proper use of archer's back muscles, and the transfer of the archer's effort into the back before allowing expansion to happen naturally. This book explains how to achieve this and details training methods and tools, including some notes for those participating in 3D and Field Archery.Target Panic is the most overlooked problem of BAREBOW archery. It is vital to know how to prevent it. The essential mental control is integrated throughout the description of the shooting process. Once you already have it, you have only two options: to conquer it or to suffer from it for the rest of your archery life. Consequently, Target Panic is addressed in depth. The module devoted to the mental side of BAREBOW archery includes an explanation of Target Panic and presents methods to reassert control and overcome it. The mental systems used to learn how to prepare yourself for competition and then perform under pressure are also explained.NOTE: This book does not set out to teach the very basics of how to shoot a bow. It is advisable to learn the early steps of shooting a bow under the supervision of a competent coach.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Universe is made of string. When the knots tighten, the Cosmos quakes. It’s a tough job being a gumshoe in an interdimensional city full of gods, living concepts and weirder things. Good thing I’m a stringwalker, able to jump between realities. It started when I was hired to investigate an explosion at a casino. A simple heist, I thought, but it turned into a race to stop the apocalypse. So I rolled the dice, and now I’m up against the ancient Greek Titans, an interdimensional spider god and a mysterious creature known as the Fool. I’m going to need more than just luck to solve this one. If I fail, all things—in all realities—could be destroyed. Just another day in String City.
