National Archery Association Tournament at Amherst, Massa- 

 chusetts. This was the first time in American archery history that 

 crossbows were allowed among the ranks of longbowmen. 



Most recent development in crossbow interest is the repeating 

 crossbow shooting gallery. A wealthy sportsman started one in 

 Houston, Texas, and many Texas dude ranches are considering 

 crossbow shooting galleries as the "extra added attraction." 



So it looks as though a new sport is beginning to revolve 

 around the ancient weapon we tried so hard to make as boys. 

 Meanwhile, George and Dolly Stevens are happy about the 

 whole thing. Between spurts of farming, they fish and hunt 

 and when someone insists, they step into their backwoods "fac- 

 tory" and custom-build a superior crossbow. The address of 

 the factory, and of George Stevens, is simply Marcella, Arkansas. 

 That's the place to write, if you want to rescue the princess from 

 the dark tower, or if you just want a new kind of sport with a 

 very old kind of weapon. 



When someone insists, the Stevens turn out a bow in their shop.
