This book is as helpful as could be for someone wanting to improve their archery skills. I'm of the though that the modern world provides the best equipment, and the ancient world provides the best techniques. "Saracen Achery" is a guide to archery as an art of war, and details secrets unknown to most archers of our day. To gain an edge over competitors commit it to memory.
