Roving Handbook
An Alternative to Hunting
Edited by Errett Callahan, PhD, MFA

      Roving is "the practice of wandering over hill and dale and shooting with bow and arrow at whatever impromptu target catches your eye" writes Errett Callahan in his Roving Handbook. Roving is a means of practicing and refining archery techniques, but it is also an end in itself--kind of a Zen form of hunting. The Roving Handbook includes articles by Errett Callahan, most of which were previously published in Instinctive Archer and/or Primitive Archer magazines. Other sections were contributed by Jack Jeffers and Normal Bean. Wire-bound. 1999. 128 pages.
