  5 SIMPLE STEPS: SHOOT ANY BOW...

  What if barebow archery didn’t have to be complicated?  
  For decades, archers have been told that accuracy requires expensive equipment, mystical “instinct,” or endless trial‑and‑error. The result? Frustration, inconsistency, and a sport wrapped in dogma.  
  The Vogtland Shooting Method challenges that narrative.  
  This book presents a simple, portable, and brutally effective barebow shooting system that combines the proven strengths of Olympic Recurve Archery with the precision of Stringwalking—while keeping the archer fully in control of the shot.  
  No stabilizers.  
  No sights bolted to the bow.  
  No guesswork.  
  No religion.  
  Just five clear principles you can apply to almost any bow you pick up.  
  Written by competitive barebow archer and engineer Mark Vogt, this book explains why accuracy works the way it does, why many traditional methods struggle with consistency, and how barebow archery can achieve precision that rivals compound bows—without surrendering the shot to equipment.  
  Inside, you’ll discover:  
  • Why barebow archery is a method, not a kind of bow  
  • How elevation control—not instinct—is the key to consistency  
  • Why portable methods outperform fixed equipment  
  • How Olympic‑level principles apply to barebow shooting  
  • Why dogma persists in archery—and how to think past it  
  • A simple mental framework that works from short range to long distance  
  This book was originally created as an audiobook, designed to be listened to while driving or traveling, letting the ideas settle in long before you step onto the range.  
  It’s opinionated.  
  It’s practical.  
  It’s unapologetically skeptical of tradition for tradition’s sake.  
  Most of all, it’s written for archers who want results, not rituals.  
  If you’re ready to question what you’ve been told, simplify your shooting, and take full ownership of every arrow you release, this book was written for you.  
  Barebow archery doesn’t have to be mysterious.  
  It just has to make sense.

  Water Borne - A 1200-Mile...

  Dan Rubinstein

  In June 2023, writer Dan Rubinstein lashed camping gear to his stand-up paddleboard and embarked on an improbable solo voyage from Ottawa to Montreal, New York City, Toronto, and back to Ottawa along the rivers, lakes, and canals of a landlocked region. Over 1,200 miles and 10 weeks, he explored the healing potential of “blue space” — the aquatic equivalent of green space — and sought out others drawn to their local waters.
  		 
  But the farther Rubinstein paddled, the more he realized that being in, on, or around water does more than boost our mental and physical health and prompt stewardship toward the natural world. He discovered that blue spaces are also a way to connect with the kaleidoscopic cross-section of people he met and the diverse geographies and communities he passed through.
  		 
  Weaving together research, interviews, and an unmacho, malodorous, anticolonial adventure tale, Water Borne shows us that we don’t need an epic journey to find solutions to so many modern challenges. Repair and renewal may be close at hand: just add water.

  Robert Craig Knievel (October 17, 1938 - November 30, 2007), known as Evel Knievel, was an American stunt performer and entertainer, born in Butte, Montana. Throughout his career, he attempted more than 75 ramp-to-ramp motorcycle jumps. Knievel's most famous stunts include a 1967 jump over the fountains at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, which infamously resulted in severe injuries, and a September 8, 1974, attempt to jump across the Snake River Canyon in Idaho using a rocket-powered cycle called the Skycycle X-2. The jump failed after the parachute deployed prematurely, but Knievel survived with minor injuries. The following recordings are from interviews in 1970, 1972, 1974, and in 1975 after Knievel jumped 14 Greyhound buses.
