Bow & Arrow

Hunters in Pennsylvania have never been allowed to hunt with bows and arrows. Few ever wanted to hunt with bows and arrows, and the game law happened to be worded in a way that specified that big game might be taken only with a certain type of firearm. Last month was filed in the State Legislature a bill to legalize the hunting of elk, deer and bear with bows and arrows, for lately in Pennsylvania, as in other States, sportsmen have begun to take an interest in the Indian's weapons.

At 50 yards a hunting bow handled by someone who knows how is more deadly than a short-barreled revolver. Famed U. S. hunting bowmen: Captain Cassius Styles who every year kills mountain lions and cuts yew in Oregon; the late Dr. Saxton Pope who killed African lions, mountain lions, brown and grizzly bears; Arthur H. Young who one moonlit African night buried a shaft feather-deep in the heart of a 600 Ib. lion which died in 20 seconds.
