The expense runs about the same, or less than, hunting deer with a rifle, he said. The nrtonl7jitlon. which start ed in 1941, has swelled from an original membership of 369 to nearly 1,500. The membership includes about 300 women, ne said. "The sport Is growing more popular each year," Thrapp stated. "It'll probably be the most popular new postwar sport." He revealed that the hunters use a bow with a minimum pull of 40 lbs. and that the average "kill" shot in deer hunting was between 26 and 29 yards. Each member is awarded a gold pin when he kills his first deer. Af ter that hi is eiven an award for each of the next three he kills. By that time, he Is considered a full-fledged bow hunter. More than 1000 deer were killed this year in Wisconsin by bow and arrow hunters. The season in Wisconsin runs from Sept. 29 to Nov. 12. "Many old. experienced deer hunters have discarded their rifles for a bow and arrow," Thrapp said.
