Among the very pleasant letters we have received during the past month is one from Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Tutwiler of Los Angeles, which we are glad to share with our readers: “ . . . Incidentally, I wish you would include a little article of thanks to the Ahwahnee Archers of San Francisco, the Sacramento Archers and the Portland and Seattle Arch­ ers who were so kind to us while visiting in their cities.

“We appreciated so much the fine hospitality extended us by these groups, their good-will toward visiting archers, for though we were strangers they all made us feel that we were one of them and we are very much indebted to archery as a sport for this medium of contacting such fine people as we found these various club members to be.

“The Seattle Club’s Easter party — consisting of stunt shooting, good eats and a general get-together so arcieis could become better acquainted—was one of our pleasan ex periences. We might further add that it was with assistance of Ye Sylvan Archer that we located these c which were listed in a recent issue.”

Yuma Indian Tackle Allan J- Stover . „ounty boasts eight Indian reservations, two of them i One afternoon we visited the reservation adjacent nea/i jnwer end of the canyon, where we found some inLjtin"' specimens of Indian handiwork.

Pottery and basketware having been duly examined and dmired the son of the reservation captain brought out a bow and two arrows. These were genuine Yuma weapons^ such as the Yuma Indians use today. The bow, about four

been used for rabbit hunting, and one still had blood and f adhering to it. lur In former days, small stone heads were ehipped and n ted to the foreshaft, but the Indians say they do not J?' how to make them any more, and the hardwood point well enough for rabbits and squirrels.

5erves The shaft was wrapped tightly with sinew to Prevpnt splitting, having one winding below the nock and two w£ the foreshaft entered the hollow reed. The smew is obtain d from the back or leg of deer, beef or any other animal, and carefully saved. When needed, a little is peeled off, chewed until soft, and carefully applied to the arrow.

The feathering consisted of two three-inch strips of buz­ zard wing feathers, so wrapped with sinew as to form a very decided wing spiral. Prehistoric arrows found in this region usually had three feathers instead of two.

We asked how the reeds were straightened, and were shown a flat, oblong black stone with a deep, groove running across it. This stone was heated and the shaft placed in the groove and pressed against the hot stone here and there until straight. This procedure reminds one of the custom of certain tribes of reflexing their bows by bending them over a hot rock.

Carriso grass, or reed, is found in nearby mountain can­ yons, where it is cut into arrow-shaft lengths, tied in bun­ dles and laid away to season until needed. The chamise is cut at the same time and seasoned with the reed.

It will be remembered that Will and Maurice Thompson spoke very highly of the native reed shaft, of which thei made arrows for duck hunting, simply hardening the point in the fire.

There is something fascinating — something that stiis the imagination — in the implements and weapons pum man has devised.

In imagination, at least, we all like to play the; role bv Cru,soe; reconstruct for ourselves the; step.

After two years n rfn single shot with the bow I learned that the in­ jured elbow was there to stay, and that my archery days were over.

But I just couldn’t give up archery. I conceived the plan of shooting with my left hand for the draw. It was very awkward, but by persisting I finally managed to shoot fairly

Finally, one day last summer, I sent Jds plus, That wasn’t 450, but it was an a.n arrow 431; improvement °Vei srtout in earnest to reach 450. Meanwhile, my frienri out on the Pacific Coast were breaking records right a£s left, and many of them were over my goal of 450, which I couldn’t reach. Naturally I felt depressed, licked. But kept on trying. More new bows were ordered; more nJ flight arrows, until now I surely have more than a hundred On Saturday evening, April 22, 1933, I took out two of my best flight bows and a choice selection of flight arrows My son Burnet and another boy who is just beginning arch­ ery accompanied me. It was a fine evening for flight shooting.

I used my strongest bow. The first two arrows flirted, but the third slipped out and away like a streak, and almost instantly vanished. I got a last glimpse of it, outlined against a fleecy cloud and far too high for a flight shooter to place an arrow. My spirits sank, and I silently cursed myself for being so dumb. I scarcely ever get an arrow away like that one; and then to spoil the shot by not even thinking of the correct angle of elevation!

Well, we three trudged away after the arrows. I “paced" as I went, and finally came upon the two flirters at about 400 yards. Then, on beyond which looked all of 75 yards away, I saw that little, slim, ethereal wanderer which so lately had been literally up among the clouds. I turned and looked back at the place from which I had shot and decided it was the best shot ever for me. . .

We measured the distance with a steel wire which 1 carefully calibrated with a steel square. The distance was exactly 1435 feet, which means, when divided by thiee, 4/8-1/3 yards. I measured the distance with much care, ano am certain a surveyor would not vary more than a either way on a check-up. . ,.„n Of course I was supremely happy because I had bio' 436 yards.

Vti The past year W‘L for business of any kind (including banks) that there isno chance to get a line on a new sport or business from

^’Vut’from the standpoint of the individual who has played it I believe over seventy-five per cent, will say it has paid them. Paid them in health, in steadier nerves and better physical condition.

If the player were a golfer, he has developed some new sets of muscles; also a respect for the bow, if not really a liking for it equal to his feeling toward his game of golf.

On the other hand, if the player were a target archer, he has kept himself in good condition physically and ready to start right in at target work when the season opens.

It depends on the individual as to how much he may like this kind of a game. If he is j ust doing it as a matter of necessary exercise, it probably will not appeal to him any without th a ^.°cto?’s Prescription of “quinine and whisky” alon^wu?1® others it may furnish an exhilarating pastime, newfripna ntei’esting competition and the chance to develop, of the a,> acquaintances. Many get a great kick out they stpn fhght shots; much like the sensation when fellows an/?0 the.tee and “knock it a mile.” And the young Or com-cp0^6 s to°’ have a lot of fun at the game, nary instnipti e OP^ty of the equipment and the prelimistrong effect- J^+fFY611 to beginners would have a very °.,s°me of no eir earlier scores.

should be action taken to provide a national set Of st„n. r les to govern all archery-golf tournaments. stai>dard On the drive the golfer has the advantage nSIlaii fifty yards or more that the ball may roll after strikin/t-? turf, and this nearly or quite makes up for the longer shot of the bow. But under most prevailing weather S ditions the archer is more sure of keeping to the general direction of the next target. Again on the “hole-out” X the golfer has the advantage, as he may putt from anv di, tance where his ball may he while some unfairly restrictive archery-golf rules require the archer to back up several yards to make his try at the four-meh gold. The golfer has only to keep the proper direction with his putt, but the archer has to hold both correct direction and elevation. And you may believe me that it is not so easy as it looks, to put your arrow into a four-inch circle at ten yards. Besides that, if you miss, the arrow has an awful tendency to skid a block, at the short ranges.

Summer play is quite likely to be more pleasant than the winter sport. It makes quite a difference in anyone’s re­ action or mental attitude toward a sport whether it can be played under comfortable conditions, or otherwise. We cannot expect mild conditions in the winter except ’way down south. The big game hunter in the northern woods expects to meet the discomforts of snow and cold weather, and prepares himself to face them. The same conditions in a lesser degree meet the player of winter archery-golf. Some of the eastern clubs play the game only when golf is out of season; the course in summer being open only to the goli game. At these courses, the locker room and at least some part of the clubhouse are kept warm for the comfort of the archery-golf players during their season of activity.

At some clubs, mixed matches between archers and go ers have been allowed in the regular golf season. I aa heard of a number of clubs that intend to build cou soon for the undisturbed use of the followers of the archaj golf game, m response to the requests of those who Played it in the winter. t ffolf evpn ersona^y> I like archery-golf, and don’t see t atf°om

A Successful Season5’s Handicap Program Cia Craft Three things essential to a successful archery club are activity competition, and awards.

These can easily be embodied in a Club Handicap Program.

The following handicap plan has proved successful and is being used for the third season in Tulsa.

On the first Sunday in each month . . . from January to September (inclusive) is held a qualifying handicap shoot, men and intermediate boys shooting the Double Senior American, and women, intermediate girls, -and junior boys and girls shoot­ ing the Double Junior American. To each archer’s actual score turned in the first month is added 2/3 the difference between his previous actual average and the Double Senior American Record (1380). The archer whose total score thus arrived at is highest of all scores turned in (whether he be man, woman, intermediate or junior) is the handicap victor and gets his name engraved on the Handicap Cup. This cup becomes the permanent possession of the archer who has the highest total (actual plus handicap) in the final cup shoot which is held in October each year. In order to be eligible to shoot in the October cup shoot, an archer must have turned in complete scores in at least five of the nine monthly qualifying shoots.

If, for the first shoot, no club or tournament records arc available for an archer, the fairest possible handicap mus set for him by the handicapping committee. After t e i month, each Archer’s handicap is 2/3 the difference betwee? hc actual Double Round Average from the previous shoots an national record of 1380. . urc In addition to the one handicap cup and in order to i each archer’s shooting his best in each qualifying sbioo . } make a permanent award at the close of the season cher of a champoinship cup or medal to the actual high score In in each division (men, women, intermediate boys, jn or er to compete in November for the championship score his div^ion, an archer must have made the actual. b’g joying in that division at least once during the nine monthly Q shoots. <zrrZ>7IS PTrogram’ as you can see, provides one ffl0IA1y with necessitat« the archer’s competing, not o 1 nednaarC^rS ‘n?is 0Wn division, but with all tb.e a;„the r<*cb Petmg, and with himself. It provides an award within

■ce as well as the experienced archer. The Tulsa of the nov Handicap Cup now bears the names of one Archery, woman and one junior boy for the January, February ^Mrrch shoots, respectively. ’"mt 'number of months given to such a program must depend, , on the length of your archery season; the type and 0 Housness of the awards, on the funds available. It is well ^hve the handicap and the championship awards on hand at h winning of the season. If the handicap trophy is a cup, thc 4 the name of the monthly winner on it after each cngnthly shoot. If you have a club room or club house, keep Ac cup on display there. Award the championship trophies at the close of each monthly shoot, to be held by the wniners until the next month’s shoot.

Use your club bulletin board with this program. Keep championships, current club record scores, handicaps, and aver­ ages posted.

We’re working out and using in the Tulsa Archery Club this year in conjunction with the above handicap program, another stimulative device. At the opening of the 1933 season, each dub member was given a “scalp”—a small piece of leather, wrinkled and puckered to resemble a scalp and bearing his name and the year. All scalps were hung on pegs, with the owners’ name beneath, around the club bulletin board. And here is the plan.

An archer may challenge any other archer in the club to a ™el> irrespective of whether he be a better or poorer shot and whether he be in the same division (men, women, boys, etc.), since each must shoot the regulation club round for his respective j'vi?lon~—Senior American for men and intermediate boys; arch°r .cr’can f°r 'women, junior boys, etc., and since the 2/3t^le h'gher average must “spot” the poorer archer * difference between their respective posted official his ow match the winner hangs the other’s scalp on lenK,PeS- The vanquished archer may issue a return chalm°nth effort to retrieve his scalp any time during the next does not i tple return match he reclaims his own but Whil ake °PP°nent’s scalp. wher arch?1 arc^er *s without his scalp he cannot challenge any The idea if e^cePt the holder of his own scalp next month, 'be season f0 ”ave as many scalps as possible at the close of &-hen at>hold7n^hthey become the permanent property of the a so'fa: mot' are- Ending this scalp device an entertaining and {’'fore at ->d one‘ It brings duel matches to the range 1$ a „• ~ Je on r SC j and office hours since the required round l.p’"gl' l”g aside fr an ,can be shot quickly. It requires no book°m that necessary to the handicap program above.
