(5 1/2 x 8 1/4 In) This is an original vintage Detroit Free Press, General Motors Information Rack Service booklet from 1953. "Fun with Bow and Arrow" by Jack Van Coevering and Fred Bear is 23-pages long. "Of all the outdoor sports that are popular among Americans these days, none is growing faster than that of archery. By the thousands, men and women, boys and girls, are learning how to shoot bows and arrows. And there's a reason. Crude bows and arrows once provided food for primitive people. Then they developed into weapons of war. In recent years they have undergone some refinement and are now a source of enjoyment. Some archery fans limit their activities to target shooting; they develop skill and enjoy companionship of competitive shoots. Others go further: they use the bow and arrow for hunting, pitting their wits and skill against game on a more equal basis than if they were to use firearms. Both target shooting and hunting have this in common: they take the archer out of doors and develop friendships in group activities. Whether you are already one of America's million bowmen, or whether you are only now thinking of taking up the sport, this booklet is written to help you on the way to more fun with bow and arrow."
