C. WHIFFEN CO. of Milwaukee to those interested in keeping posted on means and methods of improving archery knowledge and instruction. Dear Instructor: There is no time like this first moment to sea " i i Ss nc : y, "Hello again," or in case this is the first season you have received ARCHER is” may I say, "Welcome", ‘ ee Have you noted the extraordinary development in archery interest? National advertisers sre using archery features. News reels ag well as news papers and photo magazines are playing up archery right along Well, all these things have led to a very substancial increase in the number of people, both men and women, who have taken up archery as their favorite Sport activity. This publicity has been responsible for the instalation of municipal archery ranges in hundreds of cities throughout the country. In other words, archery is no longer thought of as something the Indians used to do. It is a healthy, modern Sport. All this makes it doubly importent that : a nat you present archery to your groups in the most interesting and Satisfactory manner aapaibic eral a oa to avai | of the problems that have raised their ugly heads to give the leritimate manufactr ip oe f irers of good equipment the These are problems directly affecting schools as well indivi just getting started in archery and ne should know a. ani most serious is the matter of inferior equipment produced by some person who conceived the erroneous idea that anyone can meke bows and arrows without a thorough understanding of the art, ora knowledge of the sport. The result is almost always extremely unsatisfactory. The bows supplied are not built weil which results in undue breakage. Usually, they are not of the proper weight, and finally, they are not worth a fraction of what they cost. The arrows are often an improper length, poorly made and a severe hinderance to the shooting ability of even the beginners, Did you ever stop to realize that the finest ar- chers in the world cannot shoot crooked arrows straight? How would you like to learn to bowl with lopsided bowling balls, or play golf with eggshaped golf balls and clubs all out of proportion to your height? Archery demands an enormous amount of co-ordination and skill It i8 $0 difficult to learn to do well, that it requires carefull in- ; struction and guidance, and should be done with the proper equipment. That little matter of instruction is one of the most serious problems we face. How, or what can be done to make the early period of learning to shoot sufficiently interesting so that initial interest cen be car- ried over the hump of awkwardness, over the first few discouraging days when the arrows seem to go everywhere except where they should #0, over the tedious time spent in looking for arrows thet have found 2 secure nesting spot deep in the roots of the grass? If you know how to sustain interest through these discouraging imoments, then you are the exceptional instructor, It can be done, and it should be done if your efforts are to be worth while, or if the results are to be a credit to you and the institution you represent. The letters for the next few momths will dwell on subjects of this nature. I am going to assume that you have any one of the modern books on archery instruction and have probably had instruction in shooting. In other words, my purpose is to supplement the academic with applied archery psychology, to make the sport a permanently interesting, individual activity for those now about to learn it. So, for a starting point, let us survey the vitally important considera- tion of interest development. Try to see it introspectively by deter- mining the factors which would have appealed to you before you ever tried shooting. There is no doubt that an entirely different set of emotions sway boys and girls. It is unnecessary to go into a psychological anel- ysis of the whys and wherefors, but here are a few points gained from questioning many boys and girls. Girls like archery because--it is a sport they feel confident that they can do successfully. They appreciate the grace and poise of arching, knowing that they will appear to advantage in the eyes of others. There is a natural deSire in most people, which includes girls, to want to draw back a bow and release the arrows, sending it swiftly off into space, Boys like archery because--they conjure up a few mental pictures of Robin Hood or Indians hunting big game in the wood, and then inject themselves into the picture. This is displaced later by other motives such as ex- celling in the sport and the craft side of archery when they make their own equipment. There is a definite objection or resistance when boys are required to learn archery under a woman's tcaching. The line of least resistance should be followed by playing on the primary urges. Suggest to girls the picture of gracefullness and poise when shooting after they hsve learned to do it properly. Explain that everyone feels awkward at Frarst., but the awkward sensation is overcome by practice. Make it known to them that shooting will definitely develop their bodies for a slim waist and a well developed bust, and that any normally co-ordinated person can lesrn to shoot well. Since some of these articles will not exactly co-inside with seasonal in- struction work, I suggest that you keep them together for future reference, Very truly yours, Rr Wifher— be c. mnaiten /7 37 ARCHERY EQUIPMENT EARL MEAD 2645 Taylor Road Cleveland Heights, Ohio The Type T2, Cellular Target CELLULAR TARGETS (Paien: 1837627) These are fine oversize targets that stay round and firm for a long time and leave little litter when old.
