how these errors differ for different arrow velocities.

In physics we have a simple math­ ematical expression which, neglect­ ing air resistance, describes the path of the arrow. The expression is Y .X tan. A .GX=/(2V2 cos-’A),in which X is the horizontal distance of the arrow, at some point in its path, from its point of departure (the archer’s anchor) and Y its corres­ ponding vertical distance above the horizontal line. A is the angle of departure with the horizontal, Y the arrow velocity, and G the accelera­ tion of gravity. Let us assume that the horizontal line from the archer’s anchor intersects the target at the center. Then we can substitute in the formula for V, X and Y corres­ ponding to actual conditions, and find A, the initial angle for each distance from shooting line to target. In each case we set this distance equal to X, and take Y = 0, since the hit is on the horizontal line along which X is measured. Then we assign selected values to V and solve for A. Next, we assume an error in aim­ ing, and shall take 12 minutes of an­ gle (1-10 inch at the tip of a 28 inch arrow) as a reasonable value. We must then determine where the tra­ jectory intersects the target if the angle A is changed by this amount.

This can be done by calculus, and the results tabulated in Table I were found in this manner.

This table reveals the interesting fact that the vertical and horizontal dispersions (distances from center of target) are not far from being the

same, at any given target distance, for the same angular error in aim­ ing. It also shows that the vertical dispersion is almost independent of arrow velocity. As shown before, the horizontal dispersion is entirely so.

A shift of 0.1 inch, in any direction from the correct point-of-aim, of the tip of a 28-inch arrow, with the an­ chor fixed, means a hit just outside of the gold at 40 yards; at 50 and 60, the hits are in the middle and near the outer red, respectively; at 80, in the blue.

A quarter-inch shift means a blue at 40; blue or black at 50; black at 60; miss at 80.

The next question of interest to the archer is, “How much shift in my point of aim, measured along the ground, or measured vertically at the point of aim, corresponds to an aim­ ing error of one-fifth of a degree?”

This question can also be answered by making use of calculus and trig­ onometry. The method is to find, first, what change is brought about in the angle between the line of sight and the ground by a change in the initial angle of the arrow with the horizontal. To make the problem concrete, we then use certain data corresponding to the practical cases and make our computations. Fo.r an archer of medium height, shooting a 28-inch arrow with a velocity of 150 feet per second, having his anchor 5.5 inches below his eye, his pointsof-aim are found to be located as shown in the second column of Table H, in yards from the shooting line.

Column I Target distance Column II Distance of point-of-aim from shooting line.

Column III Angle between the ground and the archer’s line of sight at the correct point-of-aim.

Column IV Distance in yards from true point-of-aim, measured along the ' ground, corresponding to an error of 12 minutes in the angle of departure, resulting from incorrect aiming.

Column V Distance i n inches, measured vertically from the true point-of-aim, corresponding to the same error in aiming.

This table enables the archer to determine with some assurance how much allowance to make at his point-of-aim for arrows whose dis­ persion errors are known. If he uses a sight, he is in better position to make his corrections in aiming, because all such corrections are made directly on the target. In this case the error in the hit is measured exactly by the error in aiming, because, with a correctly adjusted sight, the point on the target on which the sighting is done is the point which the arrow will hit. (See January issue, Ye Sylvan Archer).

The second question of interest is the effect of “creep” on accuracy.

Suppose the archer holds his anchor and his aim correctly, but permits slight relaxation of his left arm, or allows his anchor to shift slightly, resulting in “creep”. Where will the arrow strike the target?

Again we must establish definite conditions. If we assume a velocity of 150 feet per second, when the bow is fully drawn, we must first find the effect on velocity of a creep of given amounts, say inch. Dr. Hickman has found that velocity is, within limits, proportional to the draw, measured from the braced string.

This enables us to determine the re­ duced velocity resulting from creep.

If the bracing height is 7 inches, and the arrow is 28 inches, the full draw is 21 inches, and the reduced draw 20.5 inches. We find that the reduced velocity is 20.5/21 of 150 or 146.5 feet per second. With the same initial angle in both cases, where will the arrow strike, at the reduced velocity, if it hits the center of the gold at 150 feet per second? Table III gives the results for the different distances: This table confirms what every archer knows—that creeping is a dis­ ease fatal to good scores. Of course this applies only to variable or occa-

sional creeping. If the creep is ex­ actly the same each time, allowance ■will be made for it in the point-ofaim or the setting of the sigfctNevertheless, it is far better not to creep, since its presence introduces into the technique of shooting another factor which, as one gets tired or physically below par, is bound to become variable and give trouble.

My own general conclusion regard­ ing errors in aiming, as related to the question of point-of-aim versus sight, is that we are dealing with “six of one and a half dozen of the other”, so far as the mechanical prin­ ciples of aiming are concerned. But archery is so bound up in psychology that some will swear by the point-ofaim and at the sight, and others vice versa. In my case, and the cases cf others who shoot with me, the sight has been of unquestioned benetzt. and its advantages as enumerated ia the January issue of Ye Sylvan Arch­ er are proving with continuing ex- r periences to be very real.

About the year of 1760 the possi­ bilities of archery as a builder of body and the eye sight were re­ discovered and from thenceforward it had a lusty growth and always had a following of devotees both in England and America.

Osage Thorns; Also Rabbits

By Earl B. Powell It some times happens that out in the country, tucked away behind the fields and hills,, one finds a nice stretch of cover where ;game may hide unmolested.

On one of imy , trips '. -r- looking for Osage orange bow wood,, I went to see a farmer who had a 1lot of posts which had laid for several .1 years and thoroughly seasoned. These had been cut from a hedge, and (being rather “do-less”, in a way), the farmer had let the old hedge grow up into a snarl of bushes until there was a strip of ground about thirty feet wide and three-quarters of a mile long that you couldn’t throw a cat through.

During my inspection and selection, I noticed that there were a lot of rabbits in the Osage hedge, so I ask­ ed for permission to hunt there. It was readily .given. The following Sunday I took “Will-yum”, my help­ er, and Hulett, the fletcher, and we set out to either kill some rabbits or scare them to death trying. I carried a lancewood ' bow and a dozen old birch arrows of the ordinary cheap target variety,—my favorite arrows for small game.

make sure he is dead.” So Will-yum emptied his quiver at the luckless rabbit, scoring one more hit.

“Well, William” I told him, “you will have a time getting out your rabbit and arrows.” However, undaunted by this information, and after a lot of pulling, tearing of clothes, and numerous scratches and punctures, he succeeded in working rrr,..-;

his way into the heart of the hedge.

Then the air turned fairly purple with hard language from Will-yum.

We heard all about the morals of rabbits in general and in particular, as well as some hitherto unheard-of things about their immediate ances­ try. Because the “rabbit” for which jWill-yum had sacrificed arrows, clothing, dignity, and so on, was a

8 small osage stump about the size of his two fists!

We went along the hedge for a little distance and Hulett shot at one.

As he had one of Lambert’s elabo­ rate sights, he only missed the rabbit about a foot at a distance of twenty feet. Then the rabbit came around close to me and I pinned him back of the ear. And, as Kipling says, “The subsequent proceedings interested him no more.” I went after my kill, and had no more than retrieved it than Will-yum held up one he had bagged while I was poking mine out of the thorns.

The fletcher missed a few more shots. Then I took him aside, and explained to him the t'_ r__ superiority of the "instinct" system for —shooting shooting at game. It must have had its effect, for he bagged the next three rabbits in succession, fortune favoring him to the extent that he shot about twenty times to get them. Luck broke for Will-yum again, and he got two in the next hundred yards of hedge. Then I got one, and the fletcher got another, then two more fell to my bow. So it went on until I got six, when my luck deserted me, for I either did not see them in time, or else they were in such thick brush that the twigs saved them. I saw arrow after arrow rebound which I tried to shoot C through a half-inch opening between4 a couple of dead limbs about the size of my leg.

Then one ornery rabbit ran out and sat right in the open, where Willyum missed three shots at it before he could get over his excitement enough to slap one into its tummy.

The rabbit turned land . ‘ ran back into the thickest part of —’ the tangle, and gave up the ghost.

“He is nearer to your side,” squall­ ed Will-yum, “See if you can get

him!"

So I took a small post to use as a bridge over the outside of the hedge into the point where I could reach the rabbit, placing it upon a rank growth of tangled, second-growth brush, nice and tough, and Boy! it was thorny. The post smashed it down until it was about two feet from the ground. I walked out on the post, and just then the doggone thing rolled over and dumped me into the worst lot of thorns I ever had, and there I was. The tough. wiry bushes were a little over waisthigh to shoulder-high. And thorns, thorns, thorns! All headed my way, and all doing their best to prove the inefficiency of khaki breeches as thorn-proof armor.

The khaki certainly came off sec­ ond best in the contest, and as for my hide,—Man, hush!—it makes cold chills run over me yet to think of the ‘number- of punctures I got before I was out of there. I couldn’t back up, Holy Smoke no! and when I tried o go ahead, Well, believe me, a barb­ ed-wire entanglement is just a lot c-little stickers compared to a weBdeveloped Osage hedge.

But I got the rabbit and the arrow, wiggled painfully out of the hedge, and heaved a sigh of heartfelt reliefFor, having endured several hundred punctures, I felt like the little darky •" on the head who kept hitting himself when he wzs with a hammer, and v.l ■ i Yesasked if it didn’t hurt replied good when I suh, but it sho feels so t quits!”

By this time we had gotten four­ teen rabbits. Then Will-yum took * shot at one and hit him. The ribb-. ran ineo a very thick place, and WiLyum tried to locate him.

Quoted Archers I Have Met DR. ROBERT P. ELMER, Ex-Champion

By James Duff Doc. Elmer: Many time champion of Eastern, National, and several mi­ nor gatherings of archers in Amer­ ica, is perhaps today better known as archery legislator, and author, his works in the latter department have stamped him as perhaps the leading authority extant on both modern and ancient archery.

In conversation with a college friend of the doctor’s, D. Herbert Gar­ rison, many years ago, I was told the story of Dr. Elmer’s earlier struggles to acquire a sort of knowledge of the fundamentals of the bow and arrow, and how as a youth he, the doctor, loved to sit down and whittle out his own bow, while the other youth might be indulging in any one of a hundred other sports or games. Archery was his hobby and he rode it until today we have generally accepted Bob as our archery mentor.

archery, and “American Archery” (now out of print) his articles and letter writings known to every archer must take up nearly all of his time, and we are told that a doctor has no time to idle. Now I know that Dr. Elmer, like your humble servant, is of Scottish descent and so naturally has no great inclination to labor for love alone, but I have never been able to see how he can devote so much time to archery unless there is more money in looking at tonsils, or feel­ ing pulses than there is in making either bows or arrows.

I imagine that it is to Dr. Elmer that we almost alone owe our thanks for the fact that American Archery has today a constitution to guide it, as in the earlier days one was content to work according to the un­ written law, real or imaginary, and tradition as we knew it was some­ It is nearly 25 years since I first thing mighty uncertain, each archer had the pleasure of meeting Elmer at had or made his own.

Washington State Archery Association Fourth. Annual Tournament

By C. M. Huntley

June 4 and 5 saw the completion of the Fourth Annual Tournament of the (Washington State Archery Asso­ ciation, during which the Locksley Archers were hosts to 28 men, 12 women and 5 juniors.

Saturday P. M. the Locksley Arch­ ers won the men’s team shoot with a score of 362-2018, which establishes a new record for the Pacific Northwest.

Ladies of the Seattle Bowmen won their event with 293—1375.

Sunday morning opened with a flight shoot at 7 A. M. This showed a reversal of general procedure by the father taking “a licking” from his son. Russell Haggard won this event, establishing a new State re­ cord with a flight of 372 yards 9 inches. Mrs. Maud Anderson also established a new’ flight record for ladies, breaking her last year’s re­ cord, shooting 257 yards, 1 foot, 8 inches.

Lester Landaal of the Locksleys

broke the State York record for 100 yards with a score of 55—23'7.

Frequently the remark is heard that an archer does not have a chance to win on account of not having hai experience which the older archers have.

In the contest for Ladies Championship, Miss Alyce Reine, who has shot but 3 times previously on an outdoor range, tied with Mrs. Pearl Mathis. The tie was settled accord­ ing to the rules of the N. A. A., by awarding the prize to Miss Alyce Reine, having the highest score at the longest range.

The men’s clout was won by Ralph Miller of the Seattle Bowmen with a new record of 36—218. The ladies clout was won by Mrs. A. Strout of the Seattle bowmen with a new re­ cord of 34—208.

The annual banquet was held Sun­ day evening at the Hotel Edmond Meany, where the following Perpet­ ual Trophies were awarded:

unhurt, but Will-yum didn't know it, and kept on chasing it .regardless of our calling.

The rabbit, seeing it could not re­ gain the hedge, headed out across the wide, .grassy pasture, to where there were about five hundred Osage posts stacked. Will-yum hit a wire fence, hung there for a minute, got through, and started again. He is a long, lanky kid, and his long legs were gaining on the rabbit, when his foot stuck a stub, and Will-yum swapped ends so fast that the next we saw of him he was raking the muck of a wet spot from his face, By that time the rabbit had gotten under the post pile, and Will-yum was almost whining and barking after him.

It took all our power of persuasion to get Will-yum out of the notion of removing every one of those 497 (or was it 513 7) Osage posts. While he was debating what to do about it, we saw that ornery rabbit slip out of the post-pile and make a gray streak back to the hedge. Will-yum gave up in digust, and so we gathered up the game and came home.
