Dear All,
Now is the time for all you good people to contribute something. I want to build up a bibliography of Asian traditional archery in the following format (the ordering is random for the moment):

Please will you send me lists of books or articles in this format, or at least containing this information? It doesn't matter much how arcane an article you want to list, but may I suggest more general works first? We can include 'General notes on repreating stone-bows from Tswitswikhaer' for later. I have a set of back-copies of the Journal of the Society of Archer Antiquaries, so I can do the extraction from that myself. Could someone look through the published 'Bibliography of Archery', of which I do not have a copy?
I am planning to attend the archery event at Denton Hill (Pennsylvania, USA) from July 29 - 1 August this year. Tom Duvernay and David Gray will be there, too. Please let me know if you will be there, and whether we might (protocol permitting) arrange an ATARN sub-event in the margins of Denton Hill.)
Last of all, I am restoring an old Chinese target shooting bow for a local museum. I have found a good source of prepared snake skins and stingray skins for decorative purposes. These can be supplied with proper CITES licensing. I am also having tepliks made and can have them made to order for Members. Please let me know if you are interested.
Yours faithfully, (Signed) (Stephen Selby) |
