[Dan Jensen · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is a thin guide (77 pages) which covers Jake Kaminski's process for setting up and tuning an olympic recurve bow for the purposes of competition. As an intermediate level archer, I think the information in this book is very standard for tuning and makes this book very useful to keep in the bow case to help resolve tuning issues or provide ideas that could be tested to improve tuning.

The reason for two stars is that this book was quite expensive and all of the information in it has been covered to the same or greater depth on his YouTube channel and in the Easton tuning guide which is available as a free pdf.

A lower price or a deeper dive into the topic to help archers of all skill levels would have increased my rating substantially.
