(Bringing Home The Bacon By Jack Green

Having had some luck shooting small game such as ground squirrels and jack rabbits with the bow and arrow, my cousin George and I finally planned to ’ go on a trip into wild hog country. The day arrived. Our party con sisted of George, his brother Bill, who but recently got the archery bug, Carol, a friend of ours, who furnished the dogs (and figured some on furn ishing the razz-berry if the hunt turned out like he imagined it would), and myself. The four of us, with our c. outfits loaded into two flivvers, hied ..1 ourselves to the coast district o f northwestern Sonoma County, where wild hogs are more or less plentiful.

There is not much to it, the way we hunted. The . dogs found the hog, and bayed it. t. Then it was only a question of getting near enough so as not to accidently shoot tthe dogs, ’ and still not getting too close in case the hog attempted to take a few bites out of — our legs before the dogs could stop him. George’s 1 arrow, shown in the picture, is the top one. The lower one belonged to . yours truly. They They are two and three _a inch broadheads,, re spectively, and will say that they were as deadly „.y as bullets would have been, put in the same places. As to same places, the bows, Bill’s is about a 551b. a yew, lemonwood, Georgeis ’s isabout a 481b. George’s is a 481b. and mine a 60lb.----osage orange. George and I are 1 planning wild hog hunt, but the re another .'..a the next time we do not propose to take ...a dogs, but will hunt “Injun ’ style,” and ,perhaps will have something more interesting to tell.

With a growing interest in archery comes an increasing demand for bow string- material. Many archers favor salmon twine for this purpose. When ordering salmon twine, do not forget that the 12-ply is lighter than the 14-ply: that is, there are only twelve strands in the 12-ply while there are fourteen strands in the 14-ply, so there should be about one-sixth more yardage in the 12-ply than in the 14-ply.

The Fifth Annual Rocky Mountain Championship Tournament will be held in Denver on August sixth and seventh. All archers are welcome. Archers returning from the National Tournament are especially invited to stop on their way home. It is ex pected that the new Municipal Arch ery Range at Overland Park will be ready for the tournament. If the new range is not ready, the old range at Sloan’s Lake and Sheridan Boule vard will be used. The meeting is under the suspices of the Denver -Archer}' Association.

Tohe Archer’s If By C. T. Humphrey

If you can teach a gang of dumb beginners The technicalities of point-of-aim; Intricacies of drawing, holding, loosing. And treat the mugs and bright ones just the same; If you can sympathize with charm ing maidens Whose awkardness results in string-bruised arm; Restrain your yearning need for soul expression, And keep your mind one sweet unruffled calm; If you can shoot for hours with bow and arrow, And seldom hit th< ie mark at which you aim; But keep on trying though it all seems useless, And keep on hoping to improve your game; If yyou can make the unexpected bullseye,

And feeling proud, 1 though not puffed up with pride, tRefrain 0-'—- from -_ telling others how to do it, Whose random shafts are flying random shafts far and wide; If you can see with temper phil osophic Your favoriti;e arrows shattered on the rocks; Go hunting, miss your quarry, lose your arrows, And take, unrattled, these and other knocks. If you can make a bow of matchless beauty Of Osage orange, lemonwood

New York Plans Tournament The Genesee Country Archers of Silver Springs, New York, are host club for the fourth annual tourna ment of the New York State Archery Association, to be held in Letchworth Park on August 9, 10 and 11. The State of New York, through the Genesee State Park Comission, is cooperating with the local group in providing a beautiful site for the tournament, as well as assisting in the entertainment of the visitors. President R. L. Rimer of the state association, and also of the host group, has devoted a great deal of time completing plans for the threedays’ tournament. He has named Walter Goring, 198 Norwood Avenue, I Buffalo, as chairman of the tourna1 ment committee. Others serving on the tournament s committee are: Mrs. J. Harry Vaa ; Arsdale, Castile; Mrs.. R. L. Rimer.

heavy, rye-straw rope, and for com pressing the coil. But there the ma chine work ends. For target making, like the making of archery tackle, is something which requires real craftsmanship.

Targets For The Tournament The making of a .good target is a tedious job. Unable to obtain the proper quality of material in the vicinity of their home town, Stanley F. Spencer and S. B.. Hayden, both of Seattle, are at present in Albany, Oregon, engaged in making targets to be used at the N.A. A. annual tournament in Seattle July 26 to 29. Mr. Hayden, chairman of the tar get committee for the tournament, states that these targets are so put together that they are “capable of holding anybody’s arrow.” A light arrow won’t bounce out, and the tar get will hold that of the fastest bow. The center part, covering the gold and red areas, is made of two discs of tightly-bound rye-straw “rope", shaped into a thick wheel with a double sewing of stout twine. The target needles are home-made, for, Mr. Spencer informed us, such need les as are required to sew targets cannot be found amoung the em broidery accessories at any notion counter. The manufacturers of these targets had to invent the peculiar type of machinery necessary for making the
