There is a demand for a better system of exchanging club team scores by mail, and Ye Sylvan Archer has decided to open a department for the publishing of such scores. . . . Most archery arcnery clubs emus have nave a regular icguiar monthly mummy chib cnib activity. . mail•< matches; 11 All are interested'in in comparing scores, and would probably like to have these scores published monthly in the order of their rating. We invite, we urge, all clubs which shoot four-man, -woman,-boy or four-girl team rounds to mail these team scores to Ye Sylvan Archer. They should be mailed on or before the second Sunday in each month.

Distances for team rounds are as follows: Men, 96 arrows 60 yds. Women, 96 arrows 50 yds. Boys, 96 arrows 50 yds. Giris.

96 arrows 40 yds.

Fort Worth, Texas Reported by C. B. Price, Secretary, Fort Worth Archery Club

'

On April 30 the Fort Worth Archery Club held its Second a nual Spring Club Tournament Twenty-seven archers participated’ including four visitors. Practically all the club members practiced during the entire winter, when the weather permitted, but when thev settled down for an all-day grind of shooting in the hot sun fthey found that they had not practiced enough during the cold days to turn in good scores. Be that as it may, everyone had a most pleasant time. Many of our members had never participated in a tournament before, so you can imagine what a thrill they got out of the meet.

Our club was organized September 6, 1931, with a membership of four. Little was heard of archery in the state and our territory but we struggled on for over a year with the faithful “four horse­ men.” Finally we got another interested and then some more from time to time. At present we have a club of thirty members and they are active. Local newspapers carry at least one article each week of our club meets and other activities.

Our club will be host to the archers of Texas in the Second An­ nual State Archery Tournament, which will be held in. Forth Worth July 3 and 4. The city park department has cooperated with us in a splendid way and we have one of the finest ranges in the South,— a beautiful, level green encircled by a road which covers a distance of half a mile, enclosed by beautiful trees, giving us a perfect setting.

The Fort Worth Archery Club was organized for one purpose only: for the development of archery in Fort Worth and Texas.

So don t misunderstand any of my enthusiasm; it is for the spor itself, and not for the self-aggrandizement of the club.

Following are high scores: -n Ladies: Mrs. Lawrence Coppage, 1st Col. 69-381, 2d Col. Men: George Rogers, 1st Am. 89-563, 2d Am. 89-551. ^.Intermediates; Ro7 loveless, 1st Jr. Am. 76-380, 2d Jr- •

Lagoon, Utah

f dishing new Sportsmen’s Outing archery records in every t ex-cept the men’s target and clout rounds, Utah archers gathi wether for the first outdoor meet of the season at Lagoon on May 21, 1933, in the Annual Outing of the Salt Lake

County Sportsmen’s Association.

A brisk “tail-wind” hampered the target shooters, but neverthe­ less Mrs. Henninger’s mark of 485 in the Columbia round bettered die Outing record as well as her own state mark. It is hoped she on better this mark in the Official Spring Meet next Sunday at Payson. Norman Gehrke’s junior flight mark of 314 yards also bettered the junior Outing and state record, while Mardee Robin son's senior mark of 368 yards was also commendable. Good scores in the clout shoot were difficult on account of the strong cross wind bnt.nsp.te of this handicap new marks were made in the women ’s and junior divisions. wvmcua Jfffl'r Target Round—Single Am. 1.

LETTERS Editor Ye Sylvan Archer:

• In the May number Mr. Don Rodgers suggests that you Cnn. a discussion which will eventually elucidate the vexed qucsti "« spine in arrows and will result in the establishment of much needed standards.

If I might be permitted to take part m this fascinatin-r t0()i I should like to call attention to my treatment of it in my book es’ pecially to that aspect of the problem which considers not the stiff ness but the resiliency. In my glossary I use the same definition of spine that I supplied to Webster’s New International Dictionary, namely: “A quality in arrows resulting from firmness combined with springiness.” If this description be acceptable to the toxophilitic fra­ ternity, then none of us must lose sight of the second quality, which is the vital factor.

The arrows from commercial houses which are said to have been tested for spine have never in reality, so far as my experience goes, been tried for anything but stiffness. They arc said to be of Num­ ber 1, 2 or 3 spine, or of spine with some arbitrary index, when nothing is meant but their resistance to lateral pressure when placed between supports. Exactly the same- readings could be obtained for sections of lead pipe which have no spine at all.

My own method of shooting a bob by the inherent resiliency and elasticity of an arrow may not be the best way, in fact better ways are sure to be discovered, but, at least, it gives definite consideration to a quality which, by' definition, is necessary but which is usually omitted from calculation by any method except the ancient one o the feel in the hand or its action when the arrow is shot either by hand or machine.

To my limited mind, as in the field of physics, it would appear that two readings are necessary' to indicate spine, namely o firmness and springiness, but I do not doubt that the eminent sci tists who have filled your pages and those of others PaPer®. , us ormulae describing the various qualities of the bow, can ” with some form for data which, when filled out by aPPara‘“ „ ex­ may conceivably be standardized, will establish with laborato y actness what we can now adjudge only by empiricism,.

PAUL E. KLOPSTEG. t The Members of the National Field Archcry Association and ^Interested In Hunting Big Game with the Bow and Arrow.

Owin^ to the financial depression, it seems impracticable to arran-e a national jamboree hunt this year, as the non-resident license lees range from fifteen to twenty-five dollars in the different states and transportation is no small item. Therefore, I think it advisable for each state to arrange for a hunt, extending invitations to all those who are able to join.

The Oregon committee has selected a most desirable location in lhe Wallowa district, which is located in the northeastern part of the state. This location is not only one of the best in the state for mule fer. bear and elk, but is unexcelled in red-side trout fishing.

The last week in September will probably be the date decided “R for the. Oregon hunt. The non-resident license fees are as *'s-Anting, $15.00; fishing, $3.00. For elk, the open season non r/f1* and resident hunting license $7.50, the President $75.00.

ii:this Oregi;on hunt, the expenses will be for ach Thk $ 2'50 each- For a 1--j of fifteen or more, $10.00 party Thefood C°VerS the c°st of a cook , a guide, and the packing.

No, we confess we had never used a sighting gadget.
