Olde Timey Archery books

Post by Kortoso »

I was gazing upon Saxton Pope's Hunting With the Bow & Arrow, in which he refers to Ishi's techniques for bow-building and hunting, as well as his own longbow knowledge.
I found a free copy of it at Project Gutenberg:
http://www.gutenberg.org/files/8084/8084-h/8084-h.htm

I wonder if there are any other "ole-timey" books on archery that might be in public domain?
There are no safe paths in this part of the world. Remember you are over the Edge of the Wild now, and in for all sorts of fun wherever you go.
