+**Introduction**
+
+In writing this little work on archery, the author has not at-
+tempted to bring before readers only facts and theories, but
+merely to gather in small compass a few practical suggestions
+helpful to beginners, adding thereto certain records of the
+pastime, not heretofore readily accessible.
+
+To those who wish to delve deeply into the theory and practice
+of archery, we refer to the two recent editions of Ford's
+Archery; Its Theory and Practice, or The Badminton Library.
+Archery.
+
+The art of shooting with-the long-bow looks like a simple
+sport, but he who enters into it with the idea that he can excel
+without mastering its details is greatly in error. No trifle is
+unworthy of notice, whether it relates to position, manner of
+drawing, the proper use of the bow-string, the keeping of one's tackle in order. He who through ignorance or lack
+of zeal neglects to observe the many little things, which con-
+tribute to the making of a successful Bowman, fails to progress,
+becoming thereby a failure. It gives up what is really one of
+our most fascinating out-of-door amusement.
+
+It is not alone its witchery, but its adaptability to all classes
+that recommends the sport. It is not a childish game. He who
+for a quarter of a century has never fired a bow, and who has never fired one that was worthy of his close attention, while the eyes are trained, the lungs expanded, an erect carriage developed, and the hands, arms, and body muscles in general exercised.
+
+A man may be a great archer without being great in any other
+branch of life. His skill is maintained itself through all the vicissitudes of every race is strong proof
+of its excellence. But it is as a modern, living, beautiful pas-
+time, wholly free from the slightest taint of professionalism that
+I propose to treat it here. This book will not be a guidebook but
+help the novice through that slough of despond that has turned back so many would-be archers from the path to success, this guide will have accomplished its every purpose.
