PRIVATE PRACTICE CLUB. 



MARCH SCORES. 



WE THINK that a comparison of the scoring of the members 

 of the club for the months of February and of March will 

 convince any one of the benefits to be derived fi om membership. 

 No archer, however diligent, will get so much practice when there 

 Is no incentive to shoot in any and all sorts of weather as ho will 

 who feels that he is so situated that it is scarcely honest to wait 

 for fine days to shoot, while his adversaries are facing wind and 

 cold. Indeed, if the writer can judge from his own experience, 

 there is a keen delight in templing the most boisterous weather, 

 if only to see how near one can come to conquering it. March 

 was certainly as rough, rainy and windy a month in northern 

 Indinna as has ever been known, and despite that fact the writer 

 shot more arrows than he ever before shot in anyone month. 

 Ho managed to get some practice upon the 6th, 7th, Ilth, Kub. 11th, 

 loth, 15th, lith, 17th, 19th, 20th, 23d, 21th, 29th, 30th and 31st, in all 

 sixteen different, days. He (bids from the reports sent to him 

 that many of the other members have been equally advenlur- 

 somc, and yet unfavorable as the opportunities have been, the 

 averages of most shooters have risen wonderfully. Nothing so 

 soon convinces an archer of his true degree of skill as the preser- 

 vation of every score shot. Nothing offers a stronger argument 

 for careful and patient practice than the discovery that ho does 

 not average nearly so high as he supposed ho did. We till make 

 good scores at times, and are prone to overestimate our skill. The 

 Private Practice Club reports may cut our pride a little, but the 

 remit will be more care, more patience and rapid improvement. 



That archers are advancing in skill throughout the whole coun- 

 try there can be no doubt, and it is safe to say that there will be 

 more than a dozen scores of over MO points at the Double York 

 Bound at the Buffalo Grand National Meeting. 



The Private Practice Club will be cue of the most powerful In- 

 fluences by which such a result will be promoted. Because pa- 

 tient practice is the only road to success in archery, it must not, 

 however, be taken for granted that the greater the practice the 

 greater will be the improvement. The evil results of over-prac- 

 tice are well known to many of us, and in order to thoroughly 

 test the limit of safe practice in his own individual case the writer 

 has made a great many careful experiments, the result of which 

 thoroughly proves that in his case not more than ten Single. York 

 Bounds per month can be shot with steadiness. Whenever that 

 limit has been passed the evil effects of over praetico have made 

 themselves visible in feeble and unsteady shooting; nearly 

 always under sueh circumstances a poor score to the number of 

 hits being recorded. The effects of too much praetioo appear in 

 the scores of several members for March. In the writer's record 

 will be noticed a score of 41-127 at one hundred yards. Such a 

 score clearly betrays a feeble and unnerved condition of the 

 shooter, which in this ease was wholly due to too much practice. 

 OC course some difference should be made for the physical and 

 nervous power of the archer, and the weight of bow used, but 

 it is safe to say that no archer should shoot over 1,500 arrows in 

 one month. It is true that one may shoot 4,000 or 6,000 arrows in 

 a month and feel no bad effects Irom the work, but wo hazard the 

 remark that no archer can score well who does it. 



The Secretary again begs to call the attention of members to 

 the fact that many scores are still reported to him Incorrectly. 

 Thus one score appears : 17 bits 86 score, and many similar ones 

 appear. Of course an odd number of hits cannot possibly make 

 an even number in score, and vice versa. In all such instances 

 the Secretary has corrected the impossibility by deducting ono 

 point from the score. Ho also requests of archers to make as few. 

 fractional scores as possible. If a few arrows only Gin bo shot 

 upon one day at a certain range and the shooting is left unfinished 

 at. that, particular range, the shooter when next practicing should 

 complete the range and report, it as completed. Thus if on ono 

 day thirty-three arrows be shot at one hundred yards und tho 

 shooter is compelled to quit for any cause, the hits and scare 

 should be preserved. When next shooting he should finish tho 

 range if possible and report the score on the score-sheet thus : 

 April 16th and 19th, 29-133. 



In this way much labor can be saved to the Secretary and the 

 averages of each shooter easily made. 



The record of the month of March exhibits some very fine per- 

 formances at each of the ranges of the York Bound. .Mr. sbarpe. 

 who has lor twenty years reported the archery of Great: Britain, 

 lays it down as a rule that line scoring begins with a score of 140 

 at one hundred yards, with 150 at eighty yards, and 120 at sixty 

 yards, or a single York Bound of 410 points. This rule, be it. re- 

 membered, is suggested as the measure of excellence for such 

 veterans as Fisher, Everett, Claire, Walrond, Paiairct, Kimi.ig- 

 ton, Trvcr and others of the trained veterans who annually con- 

 tend for the Medal of Championship of the United Kingdom.

comes within less than one-half of a point of tho 1. 



scoring." 



Several olher members who did not pass the 120 limit, scored 

 often within two or three points of it. Altogether the month's 

 work was a very fine one, when we consider tho fact that worse 

 weather could notbave been imagined. 



The record gives ample proof of the rapid advancement r,f skill 

 among all tho members, and we predict even better averages for 

 April. Will H. Thomvson, Secretary Private Practice Club.
