showing in the entrance That eleer er bawled And hobbled around tLe corral a full five minutes after af ter receiving the third arrow from that pound 85 bow I even tried a frontal brain shot on on a year two Hereford steer of my own that I want wanted d to butcher For this shot I f used a Howard Howatt Hill Hili broadhead and it penetrated only half the Uie t length into the forehead of the steer ateer und and merely staggered him for a afew afew afew few seconds Then I put a 44 4 Special grain slug from my Just under the arrow and lie tie riled died instantly This ence once was too much for

firearm firearm when 1 u used ed for the the same purpose I dislike dis like suffering myself and hate to toBee I Bee see any fine game animal suffer Any heavy will 1 drop any I beef critter even a pound bull Instantly with brain shots Any decent rifle We or shotgun using slugs orr or buckshot will kill kl any beef animal in a a very short time with lung shots The bullet shot shot- pin gun lug or dose of ot buckshot imparts imparts im im- parts a a. terrific shock to the beast And long tong before this numbing paralyzing effect has worn off oft the animal is dead from hemorrhage with no suffering en en- tailed Powder propelled Powder propelled on Ion will penetrate to the bract bratt or spine and sever the lat latter er I Killing Instantly But Dut not eo so the the farrow arrow Therefore Therefore from from a humanitarian human human- humanitarian n standpoint the arrow does not ev even n remotely compare v a gunshot wo wound ld for killing kill kUl ing The Archer is a

another another an an- other type of hunter who must mutt also allo stalk his bis game game to close range ad wd shoot only when he can can can-be be bertaln certain of a killing kl hit bit I J refer tot to the tilt man who to hunt bunt with a I firmly believe that any state tate permitting bows bow a and aad shotguns only oa 01 their bear tear and nd deer should also permit hunting hunt hunt- lag

game gaze to the close range to lo be certain of placing lag ing his bis bullet But Dut on the other hand hl d he hd has hIB a far tar deadlier weapon weapon weapon wea wea- pon than the bow one with Yilth greater range and last but not least plenty of shocking power ower to put the game down e 0 Now then ihen gents who'll present the OTHER side of the story story- STAN BrAN Bruce Druce
