Irish Linen Bow Strings —FREE— A hand-woven Irish linen bow string, made to order, will be sent as a premium to any subscriber who sends in his renewal and one NEW subscription (Total $2.00.). Send exact length of bow between nocks and whether nocks are large or small if eye loops are desired in each end. We have arranged with an expert string maker to make these strings for us for a limited time only. They will be made from high quality linen thread and are small in diameter lor their tensile strength.

These strings are recommended for bows up to 50 pounds but have been used successfully for a number of shots on 110 pound flight bows.

BOWS BY WALLY BURR are now recognized as a distinct improvement over anything produced in modern times.

My method of seasoning has been called one of the most important steps in archery since the point of aim. My prices are less than half what you must pay for the inferior air dried weapon.

Any bow may be returned within 30 days. Prices $15.00 to $50.00. Spliced billets $5.00 to $15.00. Write for circular. i

They are forged in a reflex shape, like the ancient armor-piercing bows of Turkey and Assyria, to give them power. Yet their accuracy is equal to the finest English longbow because the use of steel permits us to make a bow of small diameter at the arrow plate.

although the force required to keep it drawn is the same.

The curves marked A give an indi­ cation of the change in fiber stress.

These curves have not been corrected for the same bow weight. The cor­ rection factor is quite complicated, depending on the thickness and width of the bow. Also the initial stress for the braced bow is complicated by the fact that the curvature for the short bow is greatest. For the same thick­ ness of wood, the initial stress would be inversely proportional to the length of the bow. However the short bow need not be so thick in order to obtain the same weight. In any case for a single curve the change in stress is proportional to the values as shown by the curve.

Notice in particular that the stress for the short bow rises much more rapidly with the draw than for the long bow.

The curves marked N show the hori­ zontal displacement of the bow tips in inches. Only two curves, are shown, one for the four foot bow and one for the six foot bow. The difference is not marked but does show that the displacement of the tips for the short bow is greater at full draw than for the long bow.

BOOK REVIEW “Archery Simplified”

By Phillip Rounseville Mr. Rounseville’s book is a splendid treatise on technique. Although it is written primarily for the beginner or the teacher- it also should prove in­ teresting to the veteran archer as well.

It is arranged in lessons giving de­ tailed instructions for every move­ ment in the act of shooting the bow.

The profuse and excellent illustrations and the non-technical language in which the book is written will make it especially valuable to archery classes in schools and colleges.

16 The Ohio State Archery Association held its forty-second annual conven­ tion and target meet at Jermain park, Toledo, on August 1 and 2.

The first Pennsylvania “Get-To­ gether” tournament was held at Skytop, in the Poconos, on July 10, 11 and 12. At this meet the Pennsylvania State Archery Association was organ­ ized with the following officers: Pres­ ident, Paul H. Wilcox; vice-president, Dr. Elmer; secretary - treasurer, Claude Johnson.

A number of novelty shoots were held, among them shooting at a real stuffed deer moving in and out from behind cover. In the game of rovers the archers shot at a stuffed fox and owl.

Plans were made to hold a state tournament at Harrisburg in October, the date to be announced later.

The Coquille Archery club invites the archers of Oregon to join them in their annual Labor day tournament September 7.

Ye Sylvan Archer hopes to run a number of hunting stories in the win­ ter issues. Judging from the number of letters we have received from hunting archers, there probably will be far more archers afield this fall than ever before since the revival of archery.

Dr. L. D. Pfouts and Chas. Pace, archers of Payson, Utah, plan to es­ cort a number of their archer friends into the mountains near Beaver after mule deer this fall. The deer season in Utah opens on October 20.
