FOREST AND STREAM 
Oct. ii, 1913. 
Forest and Stream is the official organ of the National Archery Association. 
The Scottish American Archers. 
Bloomfield, N. J., Sept. 27.— Editor Forest 
and Stream: During 1911 and 1912 it was my 
pleasure to belong to the Chicago Archery Club, 
enjoying the privileges of the beautiful Wash¬ 
ington Park range. But that range has nothing 
on the West Side Park range of the Scottish- 
American archers at Jersey City, N. J., at least 
so far as short distance shooting is concerned. 
Sir James Dufif is really too modest in ex¬ 
plaining the class of this Eastern archery club 
and his own achievements in archery. The 
range is as level as a floor for more than one 
hundred yards with a slight rise back of the 
targets. It is located on the finest auto drive 
in the park and within a stone’s throw of a score 
of tennis courts, so that the usual crowd of 
spectators numbers fifty to two hundred. 
There is a handsome edifice near the range 
in which the club is allotted ample room for a 
dozen or more targets and as much other tackle 
as they wish sheltered. The club could ask for 
no better equipment than now at its command. 
The writer figures there is good material 
in this club for a gentleman’s team for the 1914 
tournament. On the quiet, James Duff is some 
archer. In the Wayne tournament, July 4, 1913, 
his second American score was 419, the best he 
had made up to that time, but since then he ex¬ 
celled this score on several occasions, scoring as 
high as 456 in the presence of company (com¬ 
pany like Mr. Jiles, of Pittsburgh, and Mr. Hale, 
of Wayne). 
Although Duff has recently suffered a slump, 
he is good for 400 under tournament conditions. 
George Milne and John Cleland are “300” men 
right now, and I predict these men will each 
be able to come across with more than 400 on 
a team by the next tournament. We are still 
looking for a '‘350" man to complete the team 
according to this year’s tournament scores. 
Numerous prizes were offered by this club 
during the past season, the winning of any of 
which was gratifying to the lucky archer. In 
1912 Mr. Duff won the championship cup of the 
local club and thereby became field captain. But 
last Decoration Day Dr. Elmer carried away a 
beautiful cup. That was “one on Duff.” And 
at the annual shoot on Labor Day the writer 
carried off Duff’s championship cup, which 
makes about “two on Duff.” 
It was my good fortune to be accepted as 
a member of the Scottish-American archers in 
July. Eight of these archers are shooting regu¬ 
larly each Saturday, and scores will be reported 
more frequently hereafter. F. Nelson Clay. 
The Bloomfield Archers. 
Bloomfield, N. J., Sept. 29.— Editor Forest 
and Stream: A new archery club has been 
organized at Bloomfield, N. J., consisting of four 
members as follows: Miss Ethel Bergquist, Mrs. 
F. Nelson Clay, Alfred Pettit and F. Nelson 
Clay. 
Mrs. Clay will resume archery upon her re¬ 
turn from the West, but the remainder of the 
club have already attempted several rounds in 
Halcyon Park, Bloomfield. 
Two weeks ago we were favored with a visit 
from Mr. McOwen and Mr. McRae, of the 
Scottish-American archers, when the following 
scores were made on the Bloomfield range:

Mr. Pettit's 
shooting is 
remarkable, 
inas- 
much as these three rounds 
are his first 
three 
rounds and represent the only shooting done by 
him at sixty yards. F. Nelson Clay, Sec’y.

These thirty-five scores make a very grati¬ 
fying start, and it is to be hoped that soon we 
will have double the number. Let no one hold 
back his or her score because of its small size, 
and let each one remember that great latitude is 
allowed in the time for shooting. If the specified 
date is impossible, the nearest convenient day 
will do as well. Robert P. Elmer.
