FIG. 38
THE ARROW IS SHOT PIN-END FIRST
|
Insert this arrow in the air gun and blow it
out. Does it come out with considerable speed?
Experiment 25. A shooting match.
Draw a target on a piece of paper and hang it
up, away from the wall or at the end of the table, where there will be
space behind for the arrows to pass through.
FIG. 39
A SHOOTING MATCH
|
The bull's-eye of a target is usually 1 inch
in diameter, the next circle outside is 2 inches in diameter, the next
4 inches, and the outer circle 5 inches.
Get up a shooting match and keep track of the
score made by each.
If the bull's-eye is cut anywhere by the arrow,
the count is 5 points; a cut anywhere inside or touching the 2-inch
circle counts 4 points; anywhere inside or touching the next two
circles counts 3 and 2 points respectively.
The one who makes the highest score in five
shots is the winner.
It is more sanitary if each shooter has his
own gun and arrows.
