elcome to California and the N.F.A.A.’s

1988 annual meeting. ▼ ▼ If you haven’t already had the opportunity to visit some of the attractions here in Southern California, I hope your schedule will allow you to do so after this meeting. I would also like to thank the California Bowmen Hunters for being our host this year. I want to take a few minutes this morning and share with you my views on 1987 and what 1 see ahead for us in 1988. One year ago 1 stood before you and made three commitments to you. I said I would work toward: • Relocation of our National Indoor tournament. • Increasing our membership. • Removing the “cloud” that was hanging over our club insurance program by June (1987). After taking office I also found there were two pending lawsuits against the NFAA, both originated in 1986. My report card to you from the headquarters level is: • Thanks to the efforts of a lot of peo ple we have a new home for our Na tional Indoor tournament in Kansas City, that offers unlimited oppor tunities for shooters and exhibitors. • Our membership has increased by 833 members. Frankly 1 must give most of the credit for this rise to our membership billing program. • 1 did miss the June deadline for resolving our club insurance program deadline by 15 days. However after 6

much negotiating we were able to solidify a club and pro-shop liability insurance program that regardless of what rumor you hear, is the best coverage available in our sport. Regarding the two lawsuits I mentioned: • We had a member from New York who felt he was treated unfairly at the 1986 Outdoor tournament. 1 con tacted the individual and he and 1 were able to resolve the situation to both of our satisfaction without any cost to the NFAA. • Unfortunately the other law suit I inherited I have been unable to resolve. I am sure there will be much discus sion on this subject during this meeting so I will just give you an over view as to where we are to date. During 1986 legal action was ini tiated by a Mr. Ben Rogers of Califor nia as a result of actions taken by the Board of Directors and the Council at the 1986 annual meeting. We went to an artibration trial September 1987 where the plaintiff was awarded a judg ment against us. Even though we recognized there could be far reaching repercussions from this verdict the Council felt in the best interest of the NFAA the judgment against us should be paid rather than fighting it further in the court system. Unfortunately Mr. Rogers also was not satisfied with the judgment and through his attorney, Mr. Rogers has asked for additional compensation and other considera tions for settlement. His demands were (cont. on page 11J

Practice area shall be treated as giant sized target, and so cleared and backed. f) Targets should be placed in shooting lanes to simulate hunting conditions, but at the same time these shots should be good, clean (not clear) and safe shots.

The shooter should place his bow across the shooting lanes in plain sight, or stand his bow in front of the target butt and/or 3-D animal. h) A minimum distance ranging from 25 to 50 feet must be provided be tween any paths or shooting lanes paralleling another shooting lane. This minimum permits tolerance to be used, depending upon terrain or length of shot. Any distance used must preserve absolute safety. i) A minimum of 50 yards must be provided from one target to all other shooting positions, lanes and targets. An appropriate backstop may be substituted. j) Distance on either side of a target to be free from archers shall be 30 degrees from the shooting posi tion. This does not mean all clear, but only that no shooting posi tions, waiting areas, etc., be located in this area. To figure the 30 degrees, multiply .57735 x the number of feet between shooting stake and target, (see attached diagram).

k) No target shall be situated on top of a hill where a miss becomes vir tually a flight arrow. l) It is recommended that on a bowhunter range, the range in spector make a drawing of the range layout which might be used if an accident occurs during a shoot (for insurance purposes).

Suggestions for laying out a perma nent bowhunter 3-D range. 1. Lay out your range so that you have a minimum of 10 to 30 yards more than the shortest distance you would want to shoot. Put a permanent stake where your target will be placed. This will allow you to vary between tournaments or rounds and still stay within the safety requirements of the N.F.A.A. 2. Check the above safety re quirements from the longest shooting position possible. This will assure your staying within the requirements at any distance. 3. By using either the interrupted linear or the interrupted con tinuous layouts, you can see the amount of shooting positions which are possible, (see figure # 1) Because of the construction of these ranges, shots can be made from many angles to the target, from the trail and up to the target. In the continuous direction range, figure #2 must be strictly adhered to. See pg. 3. Tennessee moved that “if there are no new candidates (for the President and Vice President positions) for 1988 that Pres. Slack and Vice-Pres. Dillard Bucklen be nominated by acclama tion on June 1, 1988. Pres. Slack con firmed that this motion is qualified because of the way Tennessee pre sented his motion. Mississippi second ed. PASSED

not satisfactory to the Council, therefore a new trial hearing date has been set for May 1988. We have hired a new lawyer and I am very optimistic about the ultimate outcome. I also want to report to you the great strides I have seen this year in two of our programs. Through the efforts of Dean Hupp, the Director from W. Virginia, I have seen renewed interest in our Instructor program. I also want to congratulate Tim Atwood for the super job he and his committee has done with our Bowhunting and Con servation committee. What’s ahead for us in 1988 and beyond? I think with your help and participation both of the Indoor and Outdoor tournaments will be the best ever. With our membership billing program and your promotion of the NFAA’s programs in your state I see a continuation of membership growth in the NFAA. I might add here if your state isn’t on the billing program yet,

get on it. It’s a win, win situation for your state. I do want to share a concern I have with you. How many of you have two state organizations in your state? I see a movement in some of our states of State Bowhunting organiza tions being formed. This tells me we are not properly serving some of our membership. The NFAA was formed by bowhunters who wanted a standard method to improve their skills. Have we forgotten our heritage or have we allowed egos and self interests to in terfere with the unity that is necessary for our sport? During this meeting we will not only have the opportunity to work through some of the concerns I have express ed to you, for the first time we will recess during our meeting for a field trip to NFAA headquarters. I feel this is a unique opportunity for you to visit headquarters and meet our office per sonnel and see first hand where it all comes from. I encourage all of you to make the trip.

Another event this week you shouldn’t miss is our banquet on Fri day night. Our guest speaker will be Doug Walker, owner and publisher of the Western Bowhunter, one of the most widely read archery publications. Doug is recognized as one of today’s premier bowhunters. In closing I want to offer each of you a challenge. Are you willing to change the way we traditionally have done business in the NFAA? Are you will ing to change our structure enough to allow another organization to merge with us without losing their basic iden tity? If you are not, I feel the NFAA is doomed to become a one dimension organization. — However I know you have the ability to help the NFAA grow and unify our sport. I must tell you the eyes of the archery world are watching us this week to see what direction we will go, but I believe we/you are more than equal to the task. I wish for all of you a very successful meeting, thank you.

The Ever-Challenging Mystery of Up-Hill/ Down-Hill Shooting

Montrose, CO 81401

few' years ago, and perhaps most accurately stated, over JL Jk a decade ago, a group of So. Calif, archers succeeded in convinc ing the Los Angeles Parks and Recrea tion Dept, of the need for re-estab lishment of a field archery range on the Griffith Park grounds which was short-lived due to severe conflicts with high pressure equestrian groups who easily won the dispute and suc ceeded in permanent closure of this range. To the best of my recollection, this range was known as the So. Calif. Field Archery range and was located on an almost inaccessible steep piece of real estate of no use to anyone. The severe up and down topography of this section made this range one of the most difficult ranges in the history of the southland and presented native residents with the utmost challenge. It was during this period that I dedicated all my efforts to the coaching of my wife, Eva, who was the current National Professional Field Champion and to the coaching of my three sons all of whom par ticipated actually in archery on a Na tional level also. On the noteworthy side, our No. 2 son, Robert, became the Unlimited National Field Ar chery Cub Champion proving the fact that practice can make perfect. Returning to the So. Calif, story, as my wife Eva addressed the ever challenging 80 yard walkup, she fear fully uttered the following words: How in the world do 1 shoot this target, it is almost perfectly straight up!” Eva’s words were perhaps some of the truest words ever spoken — as the target was indeed placed on a

12 &

steep incline rising skyward at a45° slant or better! As we momentarily pondered and discussed this difficult target, Eva finally decided to add two yards (2 yards) to her bowsight adjustment in an effort to compensate for the severe up-hill slant of the hillside. In doing so, she found her decision was based on her strict recurve bow training and indoctrination which mandated and told her to add on yardage for up-hill and to take off for down-hill. To our dismay, Eva proceeded to shoot all her arrows out at the top — barely scoring a slim marginal 11 points which perplexed both coach and shooter alike. To throw a bigger wrench into the foil understanding of this problem, we soon experienced another bout with the famous “Hillside Puzzle” which provided us with additional learning and new commentary on behalf of other archers. This time, the words emancipated from the lips of all time Bare Bow Champion David Hughes who found himself shooting high on an uphill target while participating in the popular Fresno Safari tournament. Dave remarked: “Hey, these Califor nia hills shoot kinda funny — you have to take off yardage for both up hill and down-hill shooting!” Dave may not have realized at the time, but his statement hit the mark right on the head! To attempt to provide a thorough comprehensive explanation for this age-old mystery, requires the explana tion of certain laws relevant to “InFlight Ballistics” which state that a projectile will rise above the line of sight when one shoots from an ex-

treme angle either above or below the imaginary level line of a horizontally zeroed weapon. These laws further state that the greater the degree of angle away from this horizontal level, the greater the amount of rise of the projectile. Are we forgetting the effect and pull of gravity governing this subject, not on your life! The pull of gravity is indeed one of the primary factors which affects the drop of an arrow or bullet for that matter. However, it is the angle of the projectile’s path relative to any extreme angle rising above or below horizontal level, (the level plane we usually sight-in our bows from) which determines whether and when the projectile will impact high on the target. In other words, the amount of rise is the same for both up-hill and down hill shooting, as long as the amount of angle away from horizontal is the

same. Rule: You have to take-off yardage for both up-hill or down-hill angles depending on the steepness or angles above or below horizontal plane. In general, it is best to take off yardage when shooting either up or down-hillThe amount you take off is dependent on the following factors including dif ferences in bow weights, angle of the shot, distance to the target and most important the difference in practice time archers are willing to dedicate to acquire the necessary experience in dealing with the “Hillside-Puzzle.

Protect Your Hunting Future

By: William S. "BILL" Bechen

--------

■w jr any issues ago, and perhaps IV/1 several years ago, when this X ▼ JL column was entitled ‘The Legislative Edge’, I addressed several of the issues threatening our wildlife populations, amongst which were habitat loss, poaching, and predation; probably in that order of impact — true then and true today. Even in 1980, studies by the NSSF, and published in the Fred Bear Sports Club newsletter, suggested a DAILY loss of 3500 acres to man’s needs; i.e. farming, homes, shopping centers, etc. Meeting in Kalispell, Montana this past June, 1987, the OWAA (Out door Writers Association of America) was privileged to hear M. Rupert Cutler, Ph.D., Executive Director of Population-Environment Balance, ad dress them with a paper entitled “Human Population as the Ultimate Wildlife Threat." Understated, the in formation and thoughts presented in his address, were both fascinating and frightening — the possible solutions even more so. Unfortunately the paper is sixteen (16) pages longtypewritten and single spaced; therefore this column space will not allow its reproduction. I will therefore excerpt from it a few comments, that hopefully will en courage each of you to request the en tire article.

Human population growth is the ultimate threat to our standard of living, and the stabilization of our population size is essential to the

preservation of the quality of life in this country.” “As Lester Brown and his col leagues at the Worldwatch In stitute reported in State of the World—1987, the world’s popula tion grew by 83 million last year, to about five billion.” “Can we keep Spaceship Earth from colliding with over-popula tion and ecological collapse and steer it toward a sustainable future? Or, as that great University of Wisconsin professor of wildlife management and our special hero, Aldo Leopold, put it; can we turn toward a future in which men are in harmony with the land?”

“It is predicted that by the year 2000, the population ‘will exert great pressure on outdoor recrea tion resources—so great that, rather than getting away to the outdoors, people will be applying for admis sion to it’.” “Land is inherently limited. Sooner or later, as population, ur banization, production, and recrea tion all rise, alternative uses for particular pieces of land begin to compete with each other, even in societies as vast as that of the United States. . . Once land scar cities appear. . . undue reliance on price signals alone can lead to types of land use that grossly contradict

amenity and human values.” That is where much of the pressure on wildlife habitat comes from: 'price signals’ — the entire-

ly natural human instinct to turn a profit! When, to the economist’s eye, the rather poor and thin com modity resources seemingly pro tected within wildlife management unit boundaries appear to be ripe for development, look out.”

“Let’s continue to work together for that harmony between man and the land which Aldo Leopold recommended to us so many years ago. And to keep in mind Pogo’s observation, ‘We have met the enemy, and he is us.’

Bowhunting Plus By Tim Atwood—NFAA Bowhunting and Conservation Chairman

BOWHUNTER MOTIVATION Bowhunters hunt for far better reasons than bringing home a trophy. Bowhunters are motivated by an in satiable drive but, it is a drive to leam all they can about the game and its habitat. What bowhunters want is to know the animals so well that they begin to understand a world once natural to man, now increasingly alien. What bowhunters want, that is, is to go home again. They want to renew the primeval bond with the wilderness and its inhabitants. And they become better hunters as the kinship is strengthened.

Success in the form of a full bag or a fine trophy remains important. It has to because hunting is not usually so easy as might be imagined by the uninitiated. More important, though to bowhunters is an appreciation, an understanding and love of the great wild world. Success comes with that! Bowhunters are participants, rather than spectators in the wild world. We, as bowhunters, must awaken naturalists, that’s the difference. This is reflected in bowhunters' preference love of the great outdoors. Bow hunters are not casual hunters, or

lucky hunters. They are hunter naturalist, that’s the difference. This is reflected in bowhunters preference for longer seasons and more intimate contact with wildlife, which is offered by bowhunting. So bowhunters! All bowhunters! You must make sure that the true and accurate story of what motivates bowhunters and their positive in fluences on wildlife reaches every per son in the world. Remember, the non hunting public constitutes the major share of the world’s population.

N.F.A.A. BOWHUNTER SPOTLIGHT! Betty Gulman is this month’s N.F.A.A. Spotlight Hunter of the month. January 16, 1988, Betty Gulman was inducted into the California Archery Hall-of-Fame for her achievements in tournament ar chery and archery hunting. Betty started out shooting a 45 lbs. lemon-wood long bow in 1956. In 1961, she took her first deer and javelina. In 1969, Betty was presented with the N.F.A.A. Master Bowhunter Medal (under the old program). She was the 34th person to earn the medal and the first and only woman to receive the medal as of 12/2/87. Betty has records in both Pope & Young, Boone & Crockett and C.B.H. record books. As a member of Oranco Bowmen for the last 21 years, Betty has won her share of tournaments. She won the California State Broadhead Shoot three times in Women’s bowhunter A-Class. And in 1976, she won the State Field Championship. Betty has always enjoyed the out doors and being a bowhunter affords an excellent opportunity to enjoy nature at one of the prettiest times of the year; appreciation of nature is only one of the many reasons Betty

howhunts. Her other reasons include being a part of the ecosystem when hunting and the enjoyment of a challenge. Betty sums it up best — “I don’t care whether I harvest an animal or not — sometimes I’m actually relieved if 1 don’t take anything, as my main reason for being out there is just to enjoy the great outdoors!”

How Important is Back-Up Equipment? By Johnny Pourciau

his question has been asked more times than we all can count. I have heard people talk about back-up equipment for years. The only thing I found funny was the fact that everyone agreed that back-up is im portant, but they would still not have their equipment set up exactly like their number one equipment. There are many reasons for this. Some people don’t have the money to supply themselves w'ith the exact equipment as their number one. For that, you cannot blame anyone. But there are a number of people I know who can afford the proper equipment and are just not worried about it. Then there are our favorites, people who have all they need, but are just too lazy to set up their equipment ex actly like their number one. I’m very sorry to say, that up until a couple of years ago at New York, I was one of those lazy people. Don't get me wrong, my back-up equipment was OK, it just wasn’t perfect, due to the fact that nothing was going to hap pen to my number one bow because everything on it was new, and things happen to other people. Two years ago, while in Watkins Glen, something happened to change my mind for good about back-up equipment. I saw a possible defeat turn into a positive victory in no time at all. It happened in the Men’s Freestyle Division, where a young man by the name of Danny Cobb was shooting like a machine, which is standard for Danny, when problems arose. Well, Danny being the cham pion that he was, didn’t get upset, just calmly went and got his back-up equipment, shot his practice arrows, and instead of falling off a bit, seem ed to gain ground. Well, to make a long story short, Danny went on to win it all, with class and style. 20

Danny’s performance impressed me so much that I was not going to ever go anywhere ever again unless my back-up equipment is 100% perfect. I realized at that point that “IT’S WHERE YOU WANT TO BE” and Danny proved that with style. This particular year was comeback year for me due to a severe back in jury the last year. I was working all year round just to be able to shoot a bow again. I was in physical therapy for my back injury for five months and three months for a shoulder and rib injury 1 received at Indoor Nationals. But all along my goal was to return to the Outdoor Nationals and take home that SILVER BOWL as I had done before. The doctor released me about three weeks before the Outdoor Nationals. I was just about where I wanted to be. I was shooting real good and saw room for improvement. All I could think about was that beautiful silver bowl. With only one week before I left for Nationals, 1 was shooting better than ever before and was so caught up in my shooting that I almost forgot a very important lesson I learned from my buddy, Danny Cobb. That’s right, .1 almost forgot to set up my back-up bow. For the next three days I worked on my back-up equipment like nobody’s business. Danny would have been pro ud of me. The only thing that was dif ferent on my back-up bow was the sight and sight bar which was no big deal. The bow shot like a well oiled machine. For those of you who don’t know me, I shoot Freestyle Limited. My scores were only one point either way from my number one bow. The lowest score I shot with the back-up bow was a 538 after it was set up. Yes sir, I was ready, I went inside, hung that back-up bow on the wall and walked over to where I had my

three National Championship Bowls, and made room for one more, number four. That night I went to bed feeling great, I had trouble getting to sleep because I was still on a high from practice that afternoon. I mean folks, this boy was ready! Well, I finally went to sleep only to be awakened by a nightmare at 3:30 a.m. In January of this year I lost “Vegas” while shooting Bowhunter Freestyle Limited. I blew a 5 point lead on three arrows, because a set screw came loose on my sight and I didn’t know it. However, me being the hardhead that I am, I was always told about that sight and I always said “No, not me.” Well, this all flashed into my mind like a light bulb going off inside my head, THIS IS THE SAME SIGHT THAT’S ON MY BACK-UP BOW. I got out of bed, ran into my study, and took that sight off my bow so fast it would have made your head spin. 1 then thought, what in the world will I do now? I got a perfect back-up bow with a sight I cannot trust. Now that makes real good sense. At this point, my departure date was only four days away. I went back to bed and watch ed the ceiling fan go around for about an hour. Then I remembered Danny again. So, first thing in the morning, 1 called my good friend, Pat Norris, and told him I needed his custom sight bar with the ERIC HALL sight. He said, I thought you already have that. I told him that this is for my back-up bow, and I didn’t care how much it costs to get it to me. I would even catch the next flight to Oakland to pick it up. I need that sight bar and sight more than a wife right now. So, as always, Pat came to my rescue. I had my back-up equipment exactly like my number one equip ment. It’s just “WHERE YOU WANT TO BE.”

I arrived in Blue Springs a little ear ly last year because I was going to shoot the Missouri State Field as a guest. This would give me the necessary perfect practice I needed. Little did I know that the nightmare I had was the best thing that could have happened.

That Friday before the State Shoot I shot a smoking 541 and was all keyed up. Saturday came around and I shot a 533. All the guys I shot with were impressed, but I was upset, I knew I made some good shots that just didn’t go in, and should have. The next day my score went down again, and the same thing, arrows just didn’t go in. Everyone said not to worry, tomorrow starts Nationals and you’ll be just fine. Nationals started on Monday and the same thing all over, 1 made shots that just didn’t go in, but I still had the lead after the first day. Tuesday I was excited because 1 got a chance to shoot with the best finger shooter there is, Eric Hall. I wanted to shoot a good score so I wouldn’t look too bad while standing next to Eric. Well, things went fine for about eight targets, then all of a sudden I could not buy a dot. I fought with my equip ment for the next 19 targets before I found what I thought was the prob lem. I fixed it with some tools that one of the guys had, but it was too late. 1 finished the last target fine, but had a 509 for the day. The lowest score that I had ever shot in my life. Even with that, I then was only 5 points back. So, no big deal, right! Pick it up tomorrow! Wednesday comes around and instread of me getting my back-up bow, I kept my number one bow like a dummy, but no problem, I fixed it on the last target the day before. Right? WRONG! We started shooting Wednesday and I picked up a point on the first target, then another, then another but I didn’t realize it wasn’t because I was shooting good, it was because

the first place guy was shooting bad. All of a sudden everything was going higher and higher and then off the face. I was about to die, that beautiful silver bowl was getting away from me altogether. There was no visible prob lems with my number one bow. What happened to all of those high scores? Was it just me? Did I peak at the wrong time? After shooting a 36 yard fan, which I shot a 17 on after set ting my sight on 32 yards after the first shot, I took a drink of water. As I put my bow down, it slipped and fell, but at this point I didn’t care. I drank more w'ater and we walked up to the target to score the arrows. Allen called the arrows and while writing down the score he looked at my string, it was all fuzzy. He said I would be crazy to try to shoot it like that. So off I went to get my back-up bow. All the time, effort, and money I spent to set up my back-up bow was going to be tested. At the end of Wednesday, instead of being about 25 points behind like I was at one time, I was only 11 points behind. That night I found it, the cable was break ing, and like a dummy I couldn’t see it because it was right in front of my face. Remember, I said I was a hard head. Nothing would happen to me. All my stuff is new, remember? Thank God that bow fell when it did. It must have rubbed the string against the bench the water can was on. The problem wasn’t the string, it was the cables.

Thursday came, and my back-up bow shot like it knew where the dot was at all times. All the guys on the number one target knew on Wednes day afternoon that the boy was back, and get out of the way. Thursday turned out to be a real good day for me, going from 11 points back to an eight point lead. Friday was the animal round, and I wasn’t worried. I knew that the Fat Lady was about to sing. The feeling was right and I had some added incentive to boot. When it was over, the “SILVER BOWL” I wanted so bad was in my hands again. Thanks to the problems that Danny Cobb had the previous year, I was able to bring that silver bowl home once again. Danny stressed the fact, that why should you work all yearround to get ready for the main event, and not have the proper back-up. My advice to everyone is to have the exact same set-up, pound for pound, sight for sight, everything the exact same. It's only money alright, but how much is that “SILVER BOWL” worth to you. It all comes down to “Where you want to be.” EXACT BACK-UP - DON’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT.

The Way It Was By Ira Blair

Perry Robert "Wild Bill” Childs. Founder of the Sequoia Field Archers of Oakland, CA, first Legislative Representative and second President of the California Bowmen Hunters. He was Executive Secretary of the Advisory Board of the Associated Sportsman of Calif, and was instrumental in get ting California its first pre-gun archery hunting season in 1945. He was President of the Northern California Field Archery Association. He combined his Northern California group with Roy Hoffs Southern bunch and they formed the California Bowmen Hunters. He was an excellent bowyer and arrowsmith and bought many of his materials from Hugh Rich. Hugh told me, "Wild Bill was an unforgettable personality and well liked by everyone.

To me the thrill is in the hunt. All of you have experienced that disap pointing empty feeling as you looked down at the deer you had just killed and realized that the fun was all over and the work about to begin—skin ning it out and getting home or back to camp with the meat. See what I mean? It’s more fun to hunt than to kill. I enjoy the suspense of waiting on a game trail, hoping for the chance of loosing a screaming shaft into an unsuspecting buck that may pass, or the excitement of watching a rooting wild boar meander a little closer un til he comes within bow range. In this article I am not comparing the bow with the gun. There’s no comparison. If I were to move into the wilderness tomorrow and were to be brought face to face with the basic problems of the struggle for existence, I would take along my guns with plen ty of ammunition, and leave my bows behind. But that is not the case of the field archer as considered here. The majority of us hunt because hunting is our hobby, a means of relaxation from the strain of civilized living, or just because we like to hunt. We don’t hunt because of the value of the 24

"Wild Bill” fit the nickname. He loved to dance, party, drive fast and wear flashy western clothes. He was also a fierce competitor on the field course. "Wild Bill” was a true archer. He scored well on paper and game and put on many exhibition shoots at gun clubs to introduce them to archery. He loved hunting and was considered by many to be one of the fastest, most accurate instinctive shots on game. Mr. Childs passed away in 1969 and was posthumously inducted into the California Archery Hall of Fame in 1986. "Wild Bill” wrote the following story in 1944, but it could have been written in 1988. Many of ns have chosen the bow now for the same reasons archers did 44 years ago. Time goes on and some things never change. Until next time, keep your feathers dry and good shooting.

meat we collect, because if we budgeted our hunting expenses, I’m afraid we would find that each pound of meat so obtained would cost us plenty. So, as long as we are hunting for enjoyment, what does it matter what our weapons are? I am acquainted with one outdoorsman who “arms” himself with a camera when he takes to the field. He brings back his game—on film. Then consider the light tackle fisherman. He equips himself with a rod the size of a wheat straw and heads for that part of the lake where the big fish are most like ly to be found. He could get better results with a heavier rod, but he’s not after results in the number of fish landed. It’s sport he wants, and he gets his sport by handicapping himself with a light rod, and giving the odds to the quarry he seeks. That’s why I hunt with a bow. I know at the start that I haven’t much chance to bring home the bacon, but if I do knock my game over, I can always say, “Well, you son-of-a-gun, I at least gave you a fighting chance.” The average man's conception of a bow has been moulded by the willow sapling he whittled out when

a boy, or by the ones he sees some girls shooting on the school lawn. Those aren’t bows. A bow is a weapon that will cut through flesh and kill cleaner and nearly as quick ly as the best high-power rifle. I shoot ninety pounds of Osage and Chinese bamboo and can get more penetration with my bow than with a .30-’06. I can send an arrow through six feet of hardwood sawdust with my bow. Try to do this with a high-power rifle sometime. Let me give you a few ex amples of the penetration and killing power of a hunting bow. Last season I was dozing half asleep in a cedar thicket beside a deer run. I had been watching a doe herd her spotted fawn up through a Manzanita patch when I heard the heavy foot falls of a trotting deer coming down the run. I crouched low in the three foot high cedars and waited. 1 heard the deer stop and ventured a peek through the tops of the saplings. There, about twenty yards away, stood a big six-point buck, nostrils quivering, apparently having gotten a trace of some strange scent and try ing to locate the cause. I saw he was about ready to take off, so, deciding to risk all on one shot, I came to my

feet for a clear shot, just as the buck wheeled and started off down the trail. Quickly I drew and loosed an arrow at him at a distance of about forty yards, and my heart skipped a beat as 1 saw the shaft disappear out of sight in the buck’s rump. He stag gered, but regained his stride, and went out of sight around a bend in the deer run. Right then I sat down to wipe the cold sweat from my face, and to wait for what seemed a lifetime for him to freeze before I took the trail. After waiting about half an hour I started tracking the deer. Signs of blood were immediately evident and about fifty yards from where I made the hit I found where the deer had stopped. The dark blood-stain on the pine needles I was examining was quickly forgotten when I noticed a pink foamy clot the size of a small liver a few feet farther on. I hadn’t hoped for anything better than severed leg artery, but from this evidence I knew the arrow had pierced his lungs too. Just a few yards still farther on I found the deer in a sprawling heap and bled dry. Upon dressing the buck, I found that my broadhead had penetrated the rump, cutting a large artery needled out and back in through the flank, on up through the chest cavi ty through one lung and into his neck, coming to a stop with the twoinch arrow head protruding through the skin of the throat. That’s penetra tion, gentlemen, and don’t let anyone tell you that a bow can’t kill clearly. This deer must have died immediate ly, and there was no wasted meat like there usually is in the case of a similar ham-shot with a high-power rifle. On another occasion I was out hunting wild hogs when my dog drove a maddened boar out of the brush directly toward me. I hastily loosed an arrow and heard him grunt as the shaft hit him far forward in the shoulder. The pig slowed to a stop, staggered in a half circle, and rolled over on his side, dead. 1 don’t believe he knew what hit him, because the

arrow pierced the shoulder blade, ranged down through the lungs and heart and stopped in the liver. This is the only hit I have ever made on big game where the arrow didn’t penetrate completely, in one side and out the other. The fact that the ar row cut through the heavy shoulder blade explains why it didn’t pass all the way through this boar. A friend of mine, Jack Pratt of Van couver, British Columbia, brought down a giant moose with his bow last season. Here is the story regarding the kill as told me by Jack. “1 jumped the bull in a thicket and he gave a snort and started off at a fair lope. Whipp ing out an arrow, I grunted a couple of times and the big fellow stopped broadside at about seventy yards. I let go my arrow and heard it hit his side with a sound similar to a base drum. With a jump, he started to run through the thicket. 1 heard him crash through some brush and then splash in the water as he reached the river. Anticipating a long hard job of trailing after the moose, I started for the river to pick up his trail. It wasn’t fifty yards to the river, and there I found the big bull lying on his side in two feet of water. With a whoop, 1 jumped in the water and waded out to him. “The arrow had entered his right side, just nicking a rib bone, cut com pletely through the chest cavity and came out near the shoulder blade. Dr. Hickman, who examined the kill with me said, ‘It is as clean a kill as I’ve seen in the years of rifle hunting.’ The

autopsy showed quick hemorrhage from lungs and arteries being cut. Air entered the chest cavity, deflating the lungs, and stopped the moose from running any great distance. This moose hadn’t been on his feet over three minutes after having been hit and had run less than ninety' yards.” I’ve cited these few instances of bow hunting to prove my point. I could go on for hours telling of other kills I have made or have seen made by other archers, but the point is this: In competent hands, the bow is a dangerous weapon and can kill big game cleanly and quickly. Recently I read an article entitled the Bow versus Rifle, written by a man named C. F. Hilder. In this ar ticle, he discredits the bow and com pares it with the rifle. I’m not com paring the bow with a rifle, I’m just stating that the bow is a practical weapon for the sportsman who is will ing to spend the time it takes to master it and hunt with it. We archers have adopted a weapon that was discarded in the evolution of mankind. We hunt with it, not because it is a meat-getter, but because it affords us a chance of tak ing to the woods in a sporting hunt in which our game has a more-thaneven chance. Move over, rifle shooters, and make room for us because we’re sportsmen just like you. Our clan is growing by leaps and bounds, and we’re here to stay. There’s room for all of us, and you can stick to your guns on that—I’ve graduated to the bow.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tourna ment you hosted on Feb. 27 and 28. Although the turnout was small, the shoot was very enjoyable. We know how hard it is to put on a tournament of this caliber with such a small group. It takes a lot of hard work and long hours and we feel that the way the tournament went, you deserve a pat on the back.

Product Evaluation #2 By Norm Mallonee Twenty to thirty years B.C. (before compounds). Yes, there are a few of us that remember those days, there were few bow hunting sights on the market. Truthfully there was very lit tle market for them because — well, you just didn’t put a sight on a hunt ing bow. I can well remember a lady coming into our archery shop and seeing that we sold a few of these sights, turned and as she was leaving remarked — that bows were not made to be shot with sights. Admittedly, there are some instinc tive shooters who are almost letter perfect at close and medium distance shooting. If a person falls in that category then they should pat them selves on their backs. But some peo ple are not blessed with the natural ability or just haven’t the time with their heavy work load to master the art of instinctive shooting. Now what prompted bow hunters to start using sights — Maybe they just got tired of missing — maybe the new breed of bow hunters just didn’t have the time or the patience to master the art of shooting a bow without a sight. Whatever the reason now 70 to 80 percent of the modem day bow hunters start from day one with a sight. Whether an instinctive shooter or sight shooter — in either case — they are only as good as their ability to estimate distance. Under estimate the yardage by five yards at a distance of thirty-five to forty yards and the bow hunter can only talk about the big buck that got away. Of course a hunting sight isn’t much good if the bow hunter and the deer surprise each other. There just isn’t enough time to react and judge the distance and use the correct sight pin. 36

Where the bow sight really comes into effective use is in a hunting ground blind or tree stand hunting. In these situations distances can be pre-measured to various points along the trail the animal is likely to move. If the bow hunter knows the distance to a rock, a clump of weeds, a tree or a similar point along the trail, he has an excellent chance for success.

Most of the top line bow hunting sights come with 4 or 5 pins or cross hair apertures. The best of the bow hunting sights are rugged in design, superbly ac curate—no rattle in design with fully independent and adjustable for both elevation and windage. The great ones are light weight, aluminum con struction either anodized black or

camo design, Many sights are so flim sy in construction that the least lit tle jar will bend them, let alone us clumsy bow hunters who occasional ly will fall down and try to destroy our equipment. With the coming of the fast cam and over-draw systems on the bows the double slotted sights have become more popular. All sight pins can be moved closer together for the flat shooting bows. Contrary to some bow hunters belief, they don’t come already sighted in and we can’t sight them in for them. My two sight companies that pro duce some of the best bow hunting sights on the market (U.S.) made, are Check-it Products, Onalaska, WI. and Martin Archery, Walla Walla, Wash. Check them out; they are the best. Conclusion: Don’t let the low price be the only criteria for buying — get the advice from an experienced bow hunter or pro-shop. Save money in the long run — let it be a one time investment.

Cooking For Your Bowhunter By: Miriam L. Jones, wife of the famous Larry D. Jones, hunter, outdoor writer, photographer,

game caller and hunting video producer. Larry's success in hunting provides venison and elk nearly every year, and Miriam is known for her elk steak dinners and barbecues,

accompanied by fresh or home canned vegetables. Cooking with wild game is simply a part of rhe normal cooking routine for Miriam. In fact, she has learned to treat wild game like any other meat and hopes you will learn to feel comfortable enough to take the wild game you have and use it for any meat recipe, as she has. COOKING FOR YOUR HUNTER is Miriam's first book. She hopes you will enjoy her cooking recipes. She has chosen to let Archery’ Magazine use her recipes for the next year for all N.F.A.A. readers to enjoy. But, if you wish a copy of COOKING FOR YOUR HUNTER, you can write to: Wilderness Sound Productions, Ltd., 1105 Main Street, Springfield, Oregon 97477, $12.95 plus $1.00 postage and handling.
