    It might be best to descripe the Bow he has Kim, to give an idea of what might be good to get for him. How long has he been practising the sport?

    Is it like this one? http://www.archerybows.com.au/images/archery_recurve_bows.jpg

    or like this?

    Archery gloves would be cheap enough like Ten euros, other 'normal' gloves wouldn't be unusable with archery.

    A stabiliser rod would be a good present if he didn't have one, they're the long bar that sticks out from the bow.

    A book?

    Look here, I can recommend either of the first two but check out some of the other pages of books.

    Simon Needhams book is more technical rather than tutorial, but not unreadable by any measure.

    The two Cathy's is a tutorial of how to shoot, with some basic essential info.

    Rick McKinneys 'The Simple Art of Winning' is highly considered, somewhat in between the other two.

    Ruth Rowe's book is hard to read but great for photographic illustrations. Worth its price for those alone.



    Avoid anything with Asbell in the blurb.

    The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It's to promote critical thinking.
