POPE’S OSAGE ORANGE Bows and Staves arc fast becoming world famous and justly so. 'They are in use from Maine to California and from Alaska to Panama 1 have customers in China, Australia. Africa, Denmark, The Argentine Republic and other foreign countries. Their hard hitting, complete dependability, long life and uniform action under ALL climatic conditions have put them at the top as hunting weapons. Nor it that all; I have a number of unsolicited letters from arch­ ers of different parts of the country saying that since using my Osage Bows and Staves they have greatly improved their scores at (lie target.

Properly made bows of my Osage do not jar in the hand, are sweet to draw, do not let down in hot weather nor go up or “blow up” in low tempera Lures. The above statements are facts, and L do not ask you to accept my unsupported word but will gladly give you the names of many archers who will tell you the same, if you arc interested.

Get a Pope Osage and shoot during zero weather, without fear of hav­ ing' your bow fly to pieces; shoot all day during the hottest days without having to raise your point of aim, while “other bows melt along with the fat mon and collars,” as one correspondent puts it. In other words, have the maximum of fun and the minimum of cussing, ALL the time.

An “archery show’’ held before the Sequoia Club in San Francisco, Cal­ ifornia, July 24, promises a revival of the San Francisco Archery Club. Dr. F. W. Epley gave a talk on the his­ tory and technique of archery and Mrs. Brule and Mr. Hayes shot an ex­ hibition match.

The Sacramento Archery Club sponsored an archery shoot at the California State Fair held in Sacra­ mento, September 1. The events were the Metropolitan and American rounds. An exhibition turtle shoot was held in front of the grandstand.

YE SYLVAN ARCHER

National Archery Association T ournament 25. RECORD smashing tournament is the description of the 49th annual tournament of the Na­ tional Archery Association held at Santa Barbaia, July 30, 31, August 1, 2, sent out from headquarters. And the schedule of records amply justi­ fies this enthusiasm.

The record smashing began when the whistle blew to start shooting and continued all through the first three days of the tournament. No less than ten lecords—world’s records among them—were shattered by the archers assembled at Santa Barbara. “This is California” has been suggested as the proper explanation.

The first new record was estab­ lished on the first day at 10:00 A. M. when 118 shooters took their places.

The largest previous attendance was at the 1928 tournament with 94 shoot­ ers.

The National Archery Association record for the single York round was broken by “Dusty” Roberts, C. W. Douglas and L. T. Coke, who made 129-655, 121-629, and 110-578 respect­ ively. The old record was 116-566, made by Harry Richardson in 1910.

Dr. George A. Cathey made a flight shot (regulation style) of 353 yards 10 inches. The best previous record was 300 yards 9 inches made in 1928

by H. H. Hill of Opalacka, Florida.

“Doc” Cathey also made a record in the Free Style flight shoot of 353 yards 11 inches.

In the Ladies’ flight shoot Mrs. Homer Prouty shot an arrciw 273 yards 2 inches. The previous record was 259 yards.

The famous Horace Ford made a record in 1857 for the double York of 245-1251, a record which has stood for 72 years. But “Dusty” Roberts shattered this record with 257-1293.

This is the now N. A. A. record.

archers as they came on the grounds.

The clout shoot was held on the last day of the tournament. The men’s clout was won by Dr. George Cathey of Portland, Oregon, and the women’s

by Mrs. Elizabeth Rounsevelle of Pinehurst, North Carolina.

At the business meeting of the Na­ tional Archery Association officers were elected as follows: Herman L. Walker, Chicago, president; Homer Taylor, Greenfield, Mass., and Dr. George A. Cathey, Portland, Oregon, Vice Presidents; Louis C. Smith, Bos­ ton, Mass., Secretary- Treasurer: George F. Weld, Santa Barbara, K. 1 .

Hartshorn, Chicago, and R. H. Mid­ dleton, Chicago, Executive Committee.

The National Association divided

Dr. Geo. A. Cathey, Portland, Oregon national flight champion, and Dr. E. K. Roberts, Ventura, California, who smashed all the old target records.

“Dusty” won another crown in the single American round with a score of 90-650, which beats by 24 points the 90-626 made by Dr. Crouch in 1925.

Not content with these triumphs “Dusty” scored 180-1308 in the double American lound. This is a long way ahead of any double American round score ever made at a N. A. A. tourna­ ment. A veritable triumphal proces­ sion bore the champion off the field.

New records vastly pleasing to the archers were the posting of complete scores of all contestants—checked and tabulated—on a bulletin board 4 feet by 16 feet and the publishing of a bulletin containing full scores of each archer. This bulletin was delivered to

Mrs. Homer Prouty, Portland, Oregon, women’s national flight champion.

Native Bow Woods

By W. O. Robinson, Washington, D. C. THE subject of native

woods for bows has been raised in a recent issue of Ye Sylvan Archer.

Duff states emphatically that the only real bow woods are yew, osage orange and lemonwood.

Lambert would add mulberry to the list. It strikes the writer that is it quite p. obable that good bows can be made fiom other native woods and that sometimes choice specimens of a very mediocre kind will make excellent bows.

To judge from one speciman only I would place Texas chittam wood— Cotinus Americana—at the head of the list for cast, freedom from jar and other' qualities that make a fine target bow.

Experience with some twenty native woods leads nre to agree with Duff in general that most of the Eastern native woods break if used much.

They are very apt to pinch or chrysal.

It must be noted that there are great differences in individual specimens of any kind of wood and also that it takes a mighty good piece of wood to make a bow even in billet lengths.

I am indebted to a great many archer, friends and to books for cer­ tain data which I will record on the characteristics of three of the better Eastern bow woods. These woods have been used for the purpose for some time and the writer has made and used at least a half dozen speci­ mens of the wood. Red cedar, black locust and sassafras were used by the Indians or mentioned in the earlierworks on archery.

Red cedar has some of the fine characteristics of yew. Seton Thomp­ son states that it .was used by what

might be called discriminating Indian archers of the eastern United States when it could be obtained. It was used at first by the United Bohvmen of Philadelphia. Saxton Pope recom­ mends red cedar backed with hickory where yew can not be easily obtained and it is spoken of as a bow wood by other archery writers.

At least two tackle manufacturers are putting out red cedar bows. Both back the cedar with hickory and one glues on a thin strip of yew on the belly to minimize chrysaling. They are beautiful bows.

Red cedar has a lively cast and is very light in the hand and sweet to shoot with. When properly seasoned it does not follow the string much.

The sapwood is ivory white and the heart purplish red. This combination makes a very beautiful bow. Red cedar should be made up like a yew bow with an eighth inch of sapwood on the back and the grain religiously followed on the back. When sapwood is not available it can be backed with hickory or, better, elm according to my notion. It varies a lot in stiff­ ness; some slow growing dense speci­ mens are as stiff as light yew. In general, however, it is not stiff enough to make over a 40 pound bow without being clumsy looking. Red cedar is very apt to chrysal aftersome use. On this account it should never be stacked and the belly left al­ most flat. It is soft and dents easily.

With all its faults it strikes me that an archer who has once used a good specimen of red cedar will be found nursing along a favorite piece of the wood.

According to the information I

SEPTEMBER, 1929

YE SYLVAN ARCHER

have, black locust was the favorite bow wood of the North Carolina Cherokees. Black locust is one of the stiffest of our native woods. It is rather heavy but has a wonderfully good cast. Specimens I have worked with are exceedingly apt to chrysal.

In fact just two thirds of them have chrysaled in the first string-up. One locust bow of 47 pounds has been in use in our club for three years. So far it outcast any bow in the club of equal weight. The wood has some­ what the general appearance of osage orange. The specimens used have had a thin sapwood backing, but since the wood is so tough, in small trees at least, there is probably no good reason for the sapwood backing. Clear straight staves of locust are compara­ tively easy to obtain.

Maurice Thompson gives sassafras first place among native bow woods.

It is certainly the most pleasant to shoot with of all woods. Like cedar it is not adapted to a heavy bow, but it makes a very satisfactory ladies bow. Perhaps I have been fortu­ nate in selection of specimens, but so far I have not seen a chrysal in a sas­ safras bow. The wood is very light in weight, open grained and elastic.

The grain should be pretty closely followed on the back but sapwood should not be used for backing. In fact, the nearer the heart you get, the better bow you will have.

Clear straight staves of sassafras are not easy to obtain. It appears to be first class bow wood for bows 35 pounds or under. Sassafras stands a great deal of punishment for so light a wood.

The Pacific Northwest Archery

T ournament E ACH year the annual

tournament of the Pacific Northwest Archery Association has a larger at­ tendance, and everyone seems to have a better time. Rival lies and individ­ ual competitions are heard all over.

You hear Bill gloating because he re­ versed the condition of last year by beating George this year. These lit­ tle individual competitions and the meeting again of fine fellows you haven’t seen for a year is what makes the annual tournament such a wonder­ ful event.

The weather was pel feet and the Grant High Bowl at Portland, Oregon simply could not be beaten for a meet of this kind. Through the courtesy of the Portland Park Board, Mr. E. C. Schonberg was with us both days act­ ing as Field Captain.

According to our custom the annual business meeting was held Saturday evening following the banquet at the Multnomah Hotel. President George A. Cathey called the meeting to order and letters of invitation were read from the Cowlitz County Archery Club and the Longview Chamber of Commerce, inviting us to hold our next tournament in Longview July 12-13, 1930. This was unanimously carried.

The following officers were unani­ mously elected: President, Finch Hag­ gard, Seattle, Washington; Regional Vice President, Noyes E. Tyrrell', Portland, Oregon; Regional Vice President, N. A. Pearson, Seattle, Washington; Regional Vice President, M. F. Hill, Buena Vista, B. C.; Secre­

Winter cut air seasoned Yewwood staves and billets of high altitude timber. Write me of your needs and I will write you of my price.

At the recent National Tournament at Santa Barbara, Califomia, of the seventy men contestants on the target line, fifteen used bows of my Yewwood.' In addition to this number, there were probably as many more using my Yewwood, obtaining same from bowyers and manufac­ turers, whom I supply with staves and billets.

For tha benefit of those readers, who were unable to attend the tournament, wish to state that the expected Yewwood versus Osage com­ petition in the flight event did not materialize. Dr. Geo. Cathey of Portland, Oregon and Rev. L. L. Daily of Monmouth, Oregon, shooting Oregon Yawwood bows and ,Port Orford cedar arrows, regular style made 353 yards and 345 yards respectively.

Avail yourself'of the Ullrich quality and service.

STYLES YEW BOWS

I

Used by majority of the leading American Aichers,—those who choose with absolute discrimination.

Will Palmer, twice American Champion, has used my bows since they have been on the market. Dr. Elmer, many times American Cham­ pion, is one of my patrons. Dr. E. K. Roberts, who has broken all exist­ ing records, and is a very successful hunter-archer as well, says, “Any other make of bow is just like a dish-rag when I shoot it after one of yours.” Dr. George F. Weld and General Thord-Gray, Presidents, past and present, of the National Archery Association, both use and recom­ mend my bows. Mrs. George A. Smith, Runner-Up in the National, and Lady Champion of New York, shoots a lemonwood bow made by me.

Many archers have moved from mediocrity to a championship upon adoption of my tackle.
