The book that defined Olympic Recurve archery, written by coach Kisik Lee and archer Tyler Benner.
With 28 expansive chapters, the book takes an in-depth walk through high-level Olympic archery, and details every technical element of shooting from the archer's perspective. The comprehensive guides, paired with hundreds of photos, diagrams, and exercises are great for coaches and athletes alike. Inside the Archer is one of a kind in its collaborative teacher/student beginnings, providing the reader with a unique perspective into the challenging world of competitive archery.

Bought the book on recommendations of others. Haven’t finished it but great info.
I have gone through the onlinearcheryacademy youtube channel and website, watched Jake Kaminsky's form series, as well as Nusensei's youtube channel to learn the ideal archery form. This book shares helpful tips that are I have yet to come across on websites or the youtube channels thus far (eg. how to align your feet with the proper angle and spacing in an open stance)
Good read.
If you are going to get one book on recurve archery, this is the one. You know it will be good when there is a separate detailed chapter for each and every point of the shot cycle. There is a 20 page chapter with lots of images just on how to grip the bow. Each chapter ends with a great summary page. Invaluable resource and complements all the youtube videos out there that can never go into the same detail.
Special orders receive top priority and are given prompt attention.
While larger items like bows may not always be readily available, many special order items are consistently kept in stock.
The general turnaround time for special orders is a minimum of 8 weeks, depending on the lead times set by the manufacturer.
Certain bows, such as compound bows, olympic recurve risers and limbs as well as traditional recurve bows, are exclusively made to order directly from the manufacturer if "special order" is indicated. They cannot be cancelled or refunded if special ordering.
We strive to meet the deadlines mentioned above and make every effort to do so. Due to extreme lack of availability and stock within the Archery industry, lead times are only estimates.
Cancelling special order items depends on the product type. For those that can be cancelled, the following fee's may apply.
Some products such as custom made, made-to-order or special order bows cannot be cancelled. Many of these items are brought in from overseas or made specially by the manufacturer upon an order being placed.
