 Life at Full Draw December 10, 2008
Very good book for the hunter in the off-season. Putting the reader in the shoes of Adams though his amazing, and sometimes frightening achievements (such as hunting a polar bear with a bow and arrow). IMO, the first half is way better than the second half. It got a little too "political" about the public opinion of Adam's achievements. Regardless I recommend this book for anyone interested in the challenge of bowhunting. If you are not a bowhunter, this book will still be interesting if you enjoy the story of a man who chased his dreams to the fullest extent by achieving the first archery Super Slam.
Great Story June 20, 2008
I have been reading Chuck Adams articles since the late 80's. I have always enjoyed his writting style. It was nice to get more information about the person behind the articles. If you want to know more about Chuck Adams the person I would highly recommend this book. It is nice to see how much work is involved with doing his job, it is not all about the hunting.
If you want to learn more about hunting I would read another book or article by Chuck Adams.
Great book! September 7, 2005
This is a great easy reading book for anyone interested in Chuck, or Archery, or hard work and inspiration.
I had no idea of the hard work it took to finalize the incredible super-slam. I thought the book brought out some great insider stuff into the world of archery politics etc.
I applaud Chuck for his courage and determination.
I applaud Ted Nugent for his in your face attitude and for standing up for Chuck with his words. Ted Rules!
If you want an easy read with a lot of neat hunting stuff and archery stuff to inspire you to make your own hunts better I suggest you pick this one up.
This book is very exciting! September 7, 2005
I highly recommend "Life at Full Draw," because it tells a lot more about the life of Chuck from boyhood through his Super Slam! Reading these hunting adventures makes a bowhunter dream about some of these hunts. I felt that this book was much better than Super Slam, because I got to know who Chuck Adams is and how he thinks. I have tried contacting him through a magazine, but have not heard back from him. I'm not sure how to take that, did he not get my message, is he to busy to respond, or is he simply ignoring me? I highly recommend this book!
 Could anyone be this good? July 16, 2005
Chuck Adams. Any archer who doesn't know the name of the most prominent bowhunter today -- the one with the trademark smile and knit cap, the one often mentioned in the same breath as Howard Hill, Fred Bear and other archery luminaries -- isn't paying attention.
Adams has definitely earned his place in bowhunting history, and anyone who is intrigued by what it takes to have his amazing success wonders "Could anyone be this good?" This book, an authorized biography, seeks to answer that question.
One thing this book lacks is an index. Readers are always well-served by a good index so that people, places and events that the author found important enough to include can be easily referenced. A timeline would also be helpful in biographies. Those minor deficiencies aside, if you're wondering how this Superman with a stick and string has done it, this book will tell you.
