Product Overview
From the Introduction of this 231 page book: Howard Hill was one of the very few men who ever became a legend in his own time. The title 'The World's Greatest Archer' is not a line that was given to Howard for publicity sake, but rather one which Howard earned by his outstanding exploits with the bow and arrow over a period of fifty years. Howard excelled in all branches of archery - flight, target, and field - but it was his unmatched success as a hunter that set him far above the other famous archers throughout time. Howard killed more game with the bow and arrow than any other individual in recorded history. Howard's name will live down through the years to come because of a lifetime of devotion to the sport of archery through movies, radio, television, and the books and articles he wrote. He has been seen throughout the world via his personal performances and exhibitions, as well as in his films and TV appearances, by over 3 million people. Howard Hill has been placed by both sportswriters and archery buffs in the same heroic category at Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, or Jim Thorpe. Howard Hill as an archer received the same recognition as a football or baseball player and was the first to be named to the Hall of Fame because of his skill as an archer. The reader will read about the highlights of Howard Hill's life and also will find many black and white photos of him and his exploits as one of the most famous archers in the world.
