The Most Dangerous Book: An Illustrated Introduction to Archery

About this book

Its the ultimate introduction to the world of archery in a book that turns into an actual bow that shoots paper arrows. Warning! This book is a weapon of mass instruction and a working bow! All you have to do is unlock and open the upper and lower bow limbs punch out and fold the arrows and shoot! But the book is also a rich and lively illustrated history of archery covering the physics of a bow and arrow; the types of bows used since 4500 BC; arrows from around the world like the deadly stone arrowheads used by Native Americans or the Japanese whistling Kabura-ya that helped Samurai signal each other. Here are the great archery battlesThermopylae in 480 BC where the Spartan 300 faced a Persian who shot so many arrows they darkened the sky; or the Battle of Leipzig in 1813 the last battle to feature archershorsemen from the Eurasian steppeswho helped the Russians defeat Napoleon. Comes with paper arrows. Targets too!
