Grove is nationally known as the
source of Americas most perfect
archery bows. Pacific Yew, which
grows to perfection In Oregon, is the
material used. and Captain +. s.
Barnes fashions II with skilled hand
into bows sought by experts all over
this continent and even abroad.
Though almost seventy years OF age
the Captain is himself splendid ar.
cher. and such an enthusiast In his
chosen craft that he makes personal
trips TO the mountains each year to
select Yew Of just the proper grade
and grain-the altitude at which the
tree grows is an important factor.
Occasionally a bow OF rare accuracy
and highest speed Is created, and
these are dignlfied with names.
