Become a Better Archer and Use It to Avoid Sinning (Archery and Bowhunting)

Book Synopsis: If you have no experience with archery and do not know what type of equipment to buy or how to get started, this will be a very helpful publication for you. If you have some experience in archery but cannot seem to improve your accuracy and consistency to your satisfaction, this publication will help you identify and correct errors in your shooting form and technique that you may not currently be aware of. This book essentially has everything you need to know to get started or to improve in archery for the beginner and intermediate archer. While the majority of the publication focuses on compound bow use and tuning, how to purchase and use traditional equipment is also addressed. This includes an overview of Olympic-style recurve form and technique.

The last two chapters of this publication provide a very detailed theological and spiritual presentation on sin, how sin entered the world, what God’s plan is for dealing with it, and how God wants us to respond to this plan. The reason this information is included is that the word “sin” in archery means the distance you miss the mark you are aiming at. The author, Sean McVeigh, uses this concept to introduce ways we can use techniques utilized in archery to help us make virtuous choices in life and avoid sinning. Therefore, if you are a Christian seeking to grow closer to Jesus with ideas to help you avoid sinning, you will likely benefit from some of the information shared regarding this topic. Likewise, if you are someone who knows nothing or very little about Christianity, you will learn a lot about Jesus and salvation from this publication.

Be advised, however, that the author presents his theological explanation from a Catholic perspective with the intention of challenging his readers to consider ways they may have missed the mark in their theology and choices. Therefore, if you are not ready to be theologically or morally challenged, the author advises that you refrain from reading Chapter 4. This has been clearly stated here as well as within the publication to help ensure every reader understands what to expect without any surprises regarding the information contained in Chapter 4.
