FOR GENERAL SAFETY The safety factor in wearing a daylight fluorescent cap or vest is not limited to big game hunters. Safety experts agree that blaze orange clothing can also decrease accidents among upland game hunters where ac tion is often fast and flu rrie d . The eye-catching qualities of blaze orange were well-estab lished in 1959 during a three- month color study conducted at Fort Devens, Mass., by the M a s s a c h u s e tts Division of Fisheries and Game, the Am erican Optical Co. and the U.S. Army. under c e r t a i n lighting con ditions and even drew hasty fire from the test group. But the blaze orange became even more visible as light receded. Even the color blind soldiers had little trouble picking out the blaze orange samples. The color study made a major contribution to a cam paign for passage of “ co lo r” legislation in Massachusetts and in 1962 a law was passed requiring deer hunters to wear at least 200 square inches of daylight fluorescent red or orange clothing while afield. Following pissage of the law, Massachusetts enjoyed f o u r straight deer seasons without a single hunter being mistaken fo r game o r injured in the line of another’ s fire . Hunter safety supporters are now trying to strengthen the law by p re scribing minimum standards of light measurement and reflec tive qualities fo r the required clothing. O fficials there claim that these minimum standards could have prevented the single mishap that marred the state’ s five-year safety record last season.—Courtesy of the Na tional Shooting Sports Founda tion, Inc.

The man-made shade is known as “ blaze orange” and it might just be the safest color that a hunter can wear afield. Autumn’ s touch on the out door scene succeeds in tlntipg- the countryside with its myriad assortment of shades from dull browns to vivid reds and yellows. But nature can’t come up with blaze orange and that’ s the whole secret. It’ s as a rtific ia l as the pheasant on a dog track. It has always been a p rim a ry safety rule fo r a hunter to wear a color which contrasts sharply with his surroundings, and the fact that blaze orange does not appear anywhere in nature pro vides the contrast against al most every background. In areas where daylight flu o r escent clothing is required by law it has clearly demonstrated its value in reducing accidental shootings. Earl Lang, Ronnie Short, B illy Wahl and M e lv in Potter.
