A MIXED STRING 167 



fied by the National Association of Scientific Angling 

 Clubs are, briefly, as follows: 



The target is a huge spider-web affair 12 feet 6 

 inches in diameter. It consists of six concentric rings 

 placed twelve inches apart with an inner ring thirty 

 inches in diameter, in the center of which is a bulls- 

 eye, not over six inches in diameter. This target 

 should be so constructed that all but the bulls-eye will 

 be submerged just below the surface. The target is 

 arranged so that it can be moved by a cable to the 

 various casting distances. 



One-half ounce accuracy bait casting is done at 

 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 feet. Each contestant casts 

 once at each distance consecutively and then reverses 

 the order, making ten casts in all. If the weight falls 

 in the thirty-inch circle the cast is perfect and for each 

 foot or fraction of a foot away from the thirty-inch 

 center a demerit of one is made. The sum total of 

 such demerits divided by the number of casts is the 

 demerit per cent. The demerit per cent deducted 

 from 100 constitutes the percentage. The quarter 

 ounce accuracy is scored the same except that the 

 official quarter ounce weight is used instead of the 

 half ounce and the distances are 60, 65, 70, 75, and 80 

 feet. 



Distance casting is done on a V-shaped court on 

 the lawn and the length of cast is computed from cast- 

 ing point to where weight falls inside of court. The 

 sum total of five casts in feet divided by the number 

 of casts made shall be the average and the contestant's
