RAWLINS, Wyo., Feb. 12.-Sounds
once familiar in the West, the twang
of heavy bowstrings and the thud
of arrows against the shaggy fianks
of bison, will be heard again near

archers compete in the Nations first
one shot buffalo hunt.
. The archers, including men and
women, champions and eager nov
ices, will assemble here tomorrow

tions. The hunt Is being sponsored
by the Rawlings Chamber of Com
merce and will begin about 10 am.

ing weight of 60 pounds and with
standard broadhead arrows with
steel blades not less than one inch
wide.
They'll be divided into three

Bolten. An aerial reconnaissance
has spotted the herd in an accessible
valley and no great trouble is antic-
ipated in locating the animals.
The archers will hunt on foot and
each will shoot his single competi-
tive arrow in a shooting order to
be determined by lot. If the first
to shoot fails to kill the buffalo, the
next will try and so on.
II the animals survive all the
single shots, the archers will fire
a voley at them. On the other
hand, should the first few archers
kill the three bisons, the rest of the
bowmen will have no shots.
Should bull buffalo break into
a charge menacing the archers, the
group captain then will order each
archer to shoot at will and use as
many arrows as are necessary to
kill the animal And just in case
the broadheads aren't, enough,
skilled rif1emen will be standing by
to shoot the bison If he should
prove dangerous.
The three animals killed will be
dressed and the meat divided among
the contestants. The heads and
hides will be auctioned with pro-
ceeds to 60 to the Shrine Hospital
in Salt Lake City, Utah.
