I would suggest for those who are interested in chinese archery and can't find someone to teach them to learn everything they can about the Western Archery. Local archery clubs or ranges are a lot easier to find. Archery is archery, and you need to get the basics down no matter what kind of bow you are using. Olympic style archery uses exclusively recurves and not the compound bows you see in hunting stores (I think a good recurve is much less expensive then a good compound bow). Also there are books and videos on "instinctual shooting", or shooting without a sight.
