A skilled bowhunter, Ferguson has tagged more than 300 white-tailed deer (his family eats venison nearly exclusively), record-book black bear, plus moose, pronghorn, mule deer, caribou, wild hog, upland game birds and countless small game. He also has shot coyotes with his bow.
- Special awards and honors Byron has received.
The core of the book …. learning to “become the arrow” … is unchanged from the first edition.
Byron Ferguson — archery trick shot, bowhunter, longbow manufacture, avid proponent of barebow shooting — developed a modern barebow aiming and shooting system called “become the arrow” for longbow and recurve shooters. It is easy to learn, reliable and puts your mental and physical focus where it belongs — on the target. He calls it “the art of MODERN barebow shooting, taking accurate shooting one long step beyond the bow.”
You have seen him on cable television’s “Amazing Shots” and at outdoor expos. Learn in this book how to make his shooting philosophy and “Become the Arrow” style work for you.
He adds, “The ‘Become the Arrow’ shooting system is the best barebow shooting system for hunting, for tournaments or just shooting for pleasure.”
Ferguson says, “Your arrow is the only bridge between you and the target … the only thing that contacts the target. It is the only projection of yourself, of your concentration, of your focus. That’s why you should ‘become the arrow.'”
“When you become the arrow, you extend your mental approach to accurate shooting,” Ferguson explains. “Coaches often advise ‘become the bow,’ but the bow is only a launching device. The arrow is the ultimate and final part, whether hitting a target bullseye or cleanly striking game in the vitals.”
New Second Edition / BECOME THE ARROW
By applying what Ferguson says in this book, you also will learn the incredible value of visualization. When you extend your mental framework to the arrow … when you visualize the arrow hitting the exact spot you intended it to hit … then you truly have become the arrow and will be a more deadly shot.
