Title: A Thousand Campfires
Post by: Wudstix on May 28, 2022, 09:18:27 AM
Got selected on the last pass along thread on the other site.  Read this classic in one comfortable evening and can't say enough about it.  Jay Massey was a truly incredible man.  I had dreamed about reading this book for several years and it didn't disappoint.  It's back in the mix.

I was fortunate to buy a copy for a hundred bucks a month or so ago. Something I have been after for a while. Great book.

Agreed, I've owned a copy for a lot of years and it's well worth a re read every year or two

I would like to get a copy, but hope to get one reasonable.

The book is excellent. I had a signed copy until I lent it to a friend. Both are gone.

Been looking for a copy myself, like finding hens teeth.

Excellent read.  If you can ever find one to buy, I would suggest snatching it up immediately.

One more read, was just as savory as the first.

Massey is great! That is one of the best. Ron had some good stories of Jay.

One of two copies being shared around will be headed to KS when I get an address to send it to.

This is a great read, as are the Wensels, Lamb and others.  One of my very most favorites is Bows on the Little Delta, bowhunting and adventure.

Just read it last week, good read, had a way of taking you there. I personally like don Thomas books better.

Finished up the set with "The Bowyers Craft".  Last couple chapters really lay it out.  Mr. Massey pulls no punches in his view of what archery should be and how it should remain.

Bows on the Little Delta is the best bowhunting "adventure" book I've ever read.
