Blunts from the Old Stump By the President The v irm reception accorded the NFAA Handbook is indeed gratifying to all those who have so unselfishly given of their time and effort to make it a success. Here are a few sample remarks: “It is a fine piece of work, and should do a great amount of good for archery,” says Nate Rogan, State Game Warden of Inyokern, California. “This handbook is just what I wanted, as I am just taking up the field end of archery, and I think it is swell,” from John E. Lake of Meadeville, Pennsylvania. John Stephens of Casa De Los Tejidor, California, in renewing his membership remits, “25 cents hand­ book (big bargain). 50 cents Kitty. You sure did a swell job.” “The article by Michelson in the April ABR has made my mouth water for a membership for one year and a copy of the new Field Archery Hand­ book. So here’s my $1.25 in antici­ pation and impatience,” says R. Leh­ mann of the Lenape Archers of Tea­ neck, New Jersey. “The booklet is very nicely pre­ pared, and we are sure that field archers will use it as their Bible,” from W. H. Jackson, Robin Hood Archery Company, Newark, New Jersey. Bert Wallis of Seattle, Washing­ ton, says: “So much in archery, as in practically all other lines, is learned the hard way by the novice and even by the experienced bowman. It is encouraging to note that there are many in the archery game willing to give of their time and experience to the perpetuation and progression of this splendid sport. We of the

Northwest, and particularly of Se­ attle, realize and appreciate the effort which has been spent on this book.” Carl Oelschlager of Cleveland, Ohio wrote to the Secretary, “You sure did a fine job. The Association is very lucky to have a hard worker like you. Keep up the good work. You are a credit to archery.” “Enjoyed the handbook. Gave me a good tip on how to explain in­ structive shooting,” from Henry L. Collignon, Arlington Heights, Ill­ inois. “Many thanks for stirring me up ■with the fine little book. I am en­ closing a check for $1.25 for the book and a membership in the NFAA,” writes Frank Eicholtz, Old Mission Field Archers, San Diego, California. “It’s swell, John. Send three more books,” from Erie Stanley Gardner, Temecula, California. “I had written an article for the ABR urging just such a book, but didn’t send it in because I thought it might prove to be too big to tackle. Congratulations,” from Wesley Blun­ dell, Muskegon, Michigan. “It really is a jewel. As long as I have been in archery, I never have ever seen anything to equal it. Sun­ day is our first club shoot and you can bet I won’t hesitate to plug the NFAA and the Handbook,” says Fred Prentice, Secretary St. Louis Club, Missouri. “I think it is invaluable to archers,” writes Russell C. Thompson, Secre­ tary of Richmond Archers Club, Glen Allen, Virginia. “Received the Handbooks today and we think they are fine. You are to be congratulated on your fine work,”
