Archery in Action - DVD - Simon Needham

DVD on Bow Set Up, Tuning and Shooting by Olympian Archer Simon Needham to complement his successful book

The 77 minute DVD covers all you need to know about setting up and balancing your bow. Successful archery depends on repeating a shot time after time: to do this, the bow must be set up correctly, and then tuned to the archer. This technical film explains a twelve-point process of setting up the bow.

Simon puts a bow together, analysing each aspect that can affect the archer’s accuracy. He then explains how to tune the bow to achieve the optimum match between the bow, the arrow and the archer, before advising on how to improve your shooting. Available from Crowood Press and Quicks Archery
