TliE LOOSE. — The most difficult thing in archery practice 

 is to become somewhat near perfect in letting go the 

 string when the draw is completed, Tun warnings must 

 be heeded : 



1st, Do not jerk. 



2d. Do not hold. 



The loose must be instantaneous, with a backward im- 

 pulse of the hand, but it must be smooth and even. To 

 get a good loose do not over bow yourself, and lie careful 

 to take the- ; gnear the points of the finger-tips. The 

 rest depends'nporj intelligent practice. The correct flight 

 of an arrow depends much on the loose. A very keen, 

 swift flight is not best, if to get it, the archer sacrifices 

 smoothness of loose.

 there will not be six scores of 400 made upon that round
