Howard Hill's Method of Shooting a Bow and Arrow

Not the read I thought it would be
If you're a HH fan it's a book you probably want to read. As an instructional book - it's not

Must Read for any Archery Enthusiast
I found this book not only informative, interesting, detailed, and well written, but I enjoyed thoroughly each and every well photograph it contained. I felt in reading this book I was part of the Hill family for just a short while as I enjoyed each and every page, and felt like I could have been there witnessing and participating in the great sport of archery with the World's Greatest. Mr. Jerry Hill, thank you for taking the time to share, write, and publish this amazing piece of history and the willingness to share it so unselfishly with the world.

Must read!
I find this to be one of the best instructional reads for the true Hill style archer. I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it. I’ve read other instructional books and watched videos about the swing draw and secondary aiming but never really grasped the concept for the secondary aiming until jerry broke it down. Other (Hill style) books focused more on mechanics and not so much the aiming method. All in all it’s a must read for any serious Hill style archer.

The best archery instructional book on earth.
Received my first shipment of books for my customers. Each one after receiving have been very pleased, not just because of the contents written, but the overall quality of the book.I am proud that I teamed up with Amazon's KDP publishing department. They will certainly be doing all my next. Jerry Hill

Nothing new here
Okay, I got a copy of Jerry Hill's self-published "Howard Hill's Method of Shooting the Bow and Arrow," and read it in about an hour. I'd like to say something nice about this book. I really would, but I can't. It just plain stinks. Never mind the $30.00 price of this 85-page paperback. It's poorly written, pompous bordering on narcissism, and the manuscript was obviously never edited nor proofread before publication. I get it; Jerry Hill self-published this book, but that's no excuse. My God, he couldn't even spell Paul Klopsteg's name correctly! There are only three chapters on shooting, two of them reprints of Howard Hill's words in "Hunting the Hard Way" (1953). The front matter and remaining eight chapters consist mostly of Jerry Hill patting himself on the back as his uncle's self-annointed successor while denigrating other archers and tackle. This book is a gross disservice to his uncle's legacy. John Schultz covered more in 45 pages 43 years ago ("Hitting 'em Like Howard Hill," 1975).Wait, I will say one thing nice: there are several photos of Howard Hill in this book that I've not seen published elsewhere.

Love this book!
This book contains details that I have never seen before. Been shooting for over fifty years and the learning never stops. Great info and highly recommended.

Important Details for Indirect Shooters But...
Some good stuff in here (Bio/Picture-wise) if you're a huge Howard hill fan; however, it's not particularly well-written. Jerry Hill, god bless him, should have hired an editor because this book is fraught with poor grammar, repetition, and run-on sentences. However there are a solid couple of pages on how Howard Hill shot, (particularly in regards to aiming) which is useful for anyone shooting primitive or "self" style bows. If you do buy the book I'd recommend subscribing to "Gary Chynne"('s) archery channel, it's the perfect companion piece to this style of indirect aiming.I get the poor reviews and why people are miffed about the book, sure it isn't perfect but I'm happy for it. Between Jerry Hill and John Schutlz, there isn't and will never be anyone else who can speak with any authority on how Howard shot. Cheers!
