I have just found a book: "Handbok i Bågskjutning" ("Handbook on Archery") by Viktor Balck (Sweden).
He was an officer in the Swedish Army (colonel), he studied fencing and riding, was the founder of Stockholm's Fencingclub and wrote several books on fencing and gymnastics.
And then he wrote a book about archery
The special about this is that it was published in 1883 and it's 2. edition. 1. edtion came in 1879.
I've never heard about neither book nor writer and there is nothing about him in L&W.
Has anyone else ever heard about him or have anyone a copy of his book(s)?

Most interesting, but I have never heard of the man. Could the Swedish Army have available records from that time and perhaps a copy of the book, or some info on the matter. Just a thought. Oddbjørn.
