Summary: Mislead in MN
Comment: I found the tile of this book and the only review provided at the time misleading. "Become the Arrow" gives me the impression that it will be a spiritual and holistic method of shooting but this is not the case. The "become the arrow" system is pretty mechanical, it describes stance, posture, breething, and visualization.
Ferfuson is hardly spiritul guy, he seems to see big game as sport and food and pays no respect to the animal. This is fine and well for most hunters, it just wasn't what I expected.
This 110 page book is less than half comprised of tips on improving your shooting. It begins with a self glorifying bibliography which didn't need to be there. There is a huge section of his big game hunting exploits and and another on tips for deer hunting. The pith of this book could be summed up on 2 letter size sheets of paper.
I did get some worthwhile shooting tips from this book. I might have enjoyed it more if I were more of a sportsman like he is, didn't find his attitude a bit offensive, and were more interested in his little bonus sections.

Summary: Zen-Archery for Westerners
Comment: If you ever wondered how the kyiudo-archers (Japanese-style of Zen-Archery, using very long bows and heavy arrows) can perform such amazing shoots, but you are a Westerner (like me) and do not want to engage in Zen-meditations, there is only one hope: Read this book! This is the one and only work that really "translated" the Zen-Archery concepts of "becoming the arrow" or "becoming one with the bow" to the Western mind. I love Archery, and this book openned up new views on how to "reach out and touch someone" longer, faster, and with more precision than I ever think it was possible in Archery.
