A strange army OF hunters
moved into the deer country al
dawn Sunday bent on bringing
home a nice fat buck with the
oldest weapon in the world-the
long bow. Their arrows were
equipped with broadheads, honed
to a razor sharp edge. that speak
a message of death to the wary
Whitehall that comes within their
range.
1t is the seventh annual Michi-
gan bow-and-arrow deer and bear
season and ccording to the
licenses sold, more than the usual
number of the disciples of old
Robin Hood are stalking their
prey in swamps and hardwoods OF
the states deer infested counties
to the north.
Just how successful they will be
depends entirely on how accurate
they are. and how good their
equipment is suited for the Job at
hand.

Archery Hunting Grows

Michigan's host of archers is
growing slowly but steadily. The
number licensed to hunt deer last
year was almost five times the 23S
that tried their skill in the states
first bow and arrow season in
1887. Like fly fishermen, archers
become thoroughly devoted tc
their sport, and few backslide to
rife hunting after a season in the
woods with the old style tools.
In the hands OF the average
archer, a bow as to go pounds pull
is a potent weapon. 1t is abso-
lutely necessary. however, to have
"a perfectly clear shot, as any
twigs can defect an arrow badly.
Most archers pass up shots be-

tiers, specially equipped and stated
operational centers where Amer
ica's warplanes are given extra
fittings and otherwise made ready
for service on some specific battle
front.
Working at top speed in day
and night shifts, corps Of factory
trained mechanics and technicians
swarm over the planes as soon as
they roll in from the factory TO
alter them and make last-minute
additions of equipment.
Such changes and improvements
can therefore be made without in
terrupting the flow of planes from
the plant production lines.
A manufacturer is thus enabled

changes may be called for by an
army or navy directive.
