Raves and Reviews
When this book first appeared in 1954, Howard Hill, the fabled archer, was at the top of his game. This collection of stories documents Hill's versatility with the bow and his eye for rousing showmanship: mountain lions in Arizona; blue marlin (yes, with a bow) off Baja; lions, pythons, crocs-a veritable Noah's Ark, in fact- in Africa. Hill was an adept storyteller and a swashbuckling personality, bigger than life. Wild Adventureis a tribute to his skill and to his style.

OK, it's not high tech, but if you're into outdoor adventure, this book is cool. First published in 1954. "Wild Adventure" was written by Howard Hill, the protypical "extreme" guy.
