Are these really free?

The first part was available on Amazon for a while, but it didn’t receive much attention. I’m not very good at marketing a hobby, and this was created purely for the love of the sport.

You’re free to read it at no cost, and if you find it helpful, feel free to share it — I hope as many archers as possible can benefit from it.

If these guides help you shoot better, think clearer, or enjoy traditional archery more, you’re welcome to support the project by buying one of the parts — even if it’s just the price of a cup of coffee:
