  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.

  Powerful memoir of cricket, family and depression by former England cricketer Nick Compton. 
  Nick Compton had it all. A literal golden boy, to many observers it would seem that he was born to be a great in the sporting arena coming as he did from an incredible sporting ancestry. HIs grandfather Sir Denis Compton played cricket for England and football for Arsenal. 
   
  Honed at an elite English boarding school, with a telegenic profile perfectly suited to the modern media environment, Nick appeared to be blessed with that rare ability to be able to stride out and face down the world's quickest bowlers, to survive and thrive in the danger zone at the hands of the hurtling new ball. 
   
  However, greatness in any field comes at a price and this memoir explores the almost 'Faustian pact' he made in order to secure that time in the sun. It will show what 'Mistress Cricket' demanded from Nick as his side of that bargain. The family he left behind, the failed relationships both personal and professional and the utter physical and mental exhaustion which resulted from his drive to stay at the top.

  Follow the Buzzards - Pro...

  As a new decade dawned, 2020 was supposed to be the best year to be a wrestling fan. Finally, WWE had serious competition in All Elite Wrestling, and there were viable secondary promotions and a thriving international indie scene. Few in the industry realized that in China, a mysterious virus had begun to spread. By the time a pandemic was declared in March, the business—and the world—was in disarray. For the first time, pro wrestling was no longer seen as escapism, as real-world events intruded on the fantasy. Still, when everything else shut down, wrestling never went away. Despite cancellations and empty arena shows, there were great innovations, like the cinematic match—battles shot to look like movies—and the "ThunderDome," which replicated the live experience with fan faces surrounding the ring on LED screens. On the indie circuit, matches were held outdoors with spectators separated into socially distanced pods. The entire time, New York Times bestselling author and historian Keith Elliot Greenberg was chronicling the scene, juxtaposing pro wrestling developments with actual news events like the U.S. presidential election and Brexit. The result, Follow the Buzzards: Pro Wrestling in the Age of COVID-19, captures the dread, confusion, and spontaneous creativity of this uncertain era while exploring the long-term consequences.
