Title: Saxton Pope book
Post by: Butts2 on August 27, 2007, 02:32:00 PM
Purchased the book Hunting with the Bow and Arrow by Saxton Pope. In one of the chapters he states that the best shooter at a certain shoot was Art Young exceeding himself Compton and others. On the back of the cover is a photo of Dr. Pope shooting split finger and on page 122-123 is a photo of Art Young shooting 3 under. We are all represented by two of our great forefathers. Pretty neat don't you think?  :clapper:

Agree.  The book is a great read.  When they went hunting afar it was a major adventure.  How happy they must have been.

I agree, it is a great read. I loved reading about the target shooting rounds where they are consistently hitting at 60 yards! I know a lot of guys out there can do that but i sure can't, not yet anyway  :)  By the way you can read that book online (with all the pictures)for free. go to  http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page
search for saxton pope as the auther and read away. Don't worry its a completly legal website, they post books that are really old.
