What reading level is Hunting With the Bow And Arrow book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The red yew on the belly of the bow gives theenergy, the sap wood preserves it from fracture. It is, in fact, equivalent to sinew backing, and though less durable, probably addsmore to the cast of the bows.
In our experiments with a catgut and rawhide backing, we have not foundthat they add materially to the cast of a bow, only insure it againstfracture. On the other hand, sap wood and hickory backing materiallyadd to the power of the implement.
The little red yew bow used in the previous exper...iment was backedheavily with rawhide and catgut. It then weighed ten pounds, but onlyshot sixty-three yards, showing a decrease in cast. But the backingpermitted its being drawn to ten inches, when it shot a distance ofeighty-five yards. A draw of twelve inches fractured it across thehandle.
In a similar experiment it was shown that two pieces of wood of thesame size, but one being of a coarse-grained yew running sixteen linesto the inch, the other a fine-grained piece running thirty-five linesto the inch, the finer grain had the greater strength and resiliency upto the breaking point, but the yellow coarse-grained piece was moreflexible and less readily broken.
