Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XII Best Scores Of All Kinds And Feats Of Skill By Dr. Robert P. Elmer IT HAS been the good fortune of very few archers to make their best scores at the large tournaments, so that the records of these events do not give a fair idea of what many of the contestants are capable of doing when every circumstance is favorable. Furthermore, some of the most skillful archers in the country have been so situated that they have never been able to do more than shoot by themselves or in the company of a few friends. This article is written for the purpose of rescuing from oblivion the best scores that have been made under any conditions. Some of them can be vouched for by no one but the archer himself, but many were made in club contests or before witnesses in other ways. Wherever it is known to the editor that other people saw a score made he has mentioned the fact. Of necessity these lists are incomplete. Without doubt there are many fine scores that the editor does not know anything about, but he has made a careful search of all the data at his disposal and he feels safe in asserting that the tabulated results form a pretty good index of the best that is in American archery.
