Archery: The Art of Letting Go

Whether you practice archery or have never picked up a bow — I fall into the latter category — this beautifully written book is a must read. Listening to Chris Monaco tell his story felt like sitting across from someone sharing something real; his voice is clear, genuine, and authentic. He offers real insight into the art of archery — how overthinking, in archery as in life, only complicates things — and shows how through self-awareness and understanding we find our path to letting go. – A. Della Valle (FB).

ARCHERY: The Art of Letting Go is a meditation on life through the lens and practice of archery.
This is neither a sports manual nor a self-help prescription pad. It is a book about the lessons found in getting lessons—exploring the value of mentors, the illusion of control, and the discipline of presence.

Part memoir, part philosophy, and part practical reflection, Chris Monaco shares lessons learned on and off the archery range. From corporate executive to dyslexia and addiction to reinvention and purpose, he reveals how the process of becoming a better archer mirrors the process of becoming a better human being.

Whether you've never picked up a bow or have spent a lifetime on the shooting line, these pages invite you to slow down, pay attention, and rediscover what truly matters.
