Abstract
"I have long considered writing about Indian archery, which has held a lifetime interest for me, to try and correct some of the misconceptions regarding this phase of American Indian life" (ix). That this is the fourth reprinting of American Indian Archery suggests that the Laubins' interest is shared by many readers. In several reviews of this book since its 1980 publication, it has been variously described as "readable" and "methodically researched," and "Laubin's style" as "a highly personal, largeminded one." Such accolades may well overwhelm the uninitiated student of Native American archery, creating a sense that this is the definitive work on the subject. Such is not the case.
