to permit those who wish to hunt with bow end arrow to havo the first
chances There is only one stipulstion on bow ond arrow hunting, and tha.
is when the reguler season opens the hunter must not stay and hunt with
a rifle. About two yoars ago the Michigan legislature passed a law Der-
mitting the ten-day carly serzsons One of the legislators thought it sc
funny that he tacked on a rider to the hunting bill, making it legal %o
hunt elophants with sling shots during the samc season in Michigan.

This last fall the Kansas City Star carricd several stories on hunting
with bows and arrowse In one issue there was a picture of a huntor who
had hot a four point buck that woighed 140 pounds. In another story
concerning hunting, a group of Southern hunters were treod by a wild
boar while they wore hunting with bows and arrows.

Some people wonder about the killing power of an arrow. I havo beon

told that an arrow equipped with a special htmbing point and shot by a

50 pound bow will go through a deer lengthwise. ilso, I have been told
that a hunting bow with © pull of 85 pounds will shoot a plain shaft of
wood through an inch plank. If a hunting point is attachod to the plain
shaft the same bow will drive it through a steel frying pane As I under:
stand it, when a door is hit with en arrow the hunter should stand still
for a poriod of 30 minutese By doing this he will not frighton the deer —
to the point that is will keep on running. If ho chases the deer it will
run as long as it is ablo, and may cover several miles. .This moans 4
longer carry than is necossarye

In the few minutes allotted to us this evening we havo triod to present
some of the more intoresting non-technical facts about archor$¥e Wo have
shown that archory is an old sport from tho stand point of racial hist-
orye Ve have shown that archery has a carry-over value for all ago
groups. Archery includes several events which wo have not had timo to
discuss, such as target shooting, rovers, wend shoots, archery golf,
ote. In our brondeast of Fob. 33 the care and selection of archory
equipment will be discussed. ..
