Bow season opens Saturday,
70,000 Texas hunters are ready
FORT WORTH (AP) — More
than 70,000 hunters will get the
jump on everyone else Saturday
when the 1988 archery-only season
opens statewide.
As it has done since the first ar
chery-only hunting season was estab
lished by the Texas Parks and Wild
life Department in 1969, the season
01001301 will continue through Oct.
30.
The first archery-only season was
held in only nine Hill Country coun
ties, but the list has climbed yearly.
Now, every county that has a gun
season for deer also has an archery-
only season.
This weekend’s opener is an excit
ing an event as opening day is for
gun hunters in early November.
Archers have been preparing for
this weekend for months, building
blinds, setting out game feeders to
attract deer and turkey to within
close bow range, and sharpening
both their broadheads and their
shooting accuracy.
Bagging a deer with a bow is con
sidered one of the highest achieve
ments a hunter can make. Every
thing has to be right. Patience is a
must. The deer must be close, no
farther than 25 yards away for the
average archer, and the string must
be drawn slowly and quietly.
So quick are a deer’s reflexes that
he can jump safely away from an ar
row shot only 25 yards away at the
instant a string is heard. The chal
lenge has caused many former rifle-
only deer hunters to lay their guns
aside and hunt both the archery-
only and regvdar gun season with
bow and arrow.
If there is any drawback to getting
a head start on other hunters, it’s the
threat of ticks, chiggers, mosquitoes
and other pesky insects associated
with the usually warm October
weather. Smart archers will have an
odorless insect repellent in their bag
of accessories.
A large majority of Texas bow
hunters choose elevated blinds over
ground blinds. Platforms in trees or
metal tripod stands are the most
popular. Ground blinds work well
only if they are large enough to pre
vent the bow from bumping.
In addition to a regular hunting
license, Texas archers are required
to purchase a $6 special archery
stamp to participate in the archery-
only season. Last year, more than
70,000 archery stamps were sold and
the figure is expected to be slightly
higher this year.
According to Glen Boydston of
the Texas Parks and Wildlife De
partment, hunters last year bagged
approximately 7,000 deer.
Why is archery hunting season so
popular?
Graphic by Tom Eikcl
It means that a lot of people can
get out into the woods a month or so
early,” Boydston said. “Another
thing that I think has made it so pop
ular is that 10 years ago you had to
go to an archery shop to buy good
equipment. 1 oday, you can find
goon bow hunting gear almost any
where.”
If there has been any one change
in the how manufacturing industry
that has increased the popularity of
bow hunting, it’s the tremendous im
provements that have been made on
compound bows. Many new com
pound bows shoot faster than any
before them, providing belter accu
racy with a relatively light-weight
weapon.
Just having good bow hunting
equipment, however, isn’t the only
thing that is important. Huniti
must keep that equipment in goo
shape, too. Using a razori
broadhead is vital in obtaining Hat
mum cutting capabilities. Mu
hunters use honing stones to h
their broadheads sharp. Others,sin
ply screw on a new broadhead afc
each shot.
Each bow hunter must be fittedi
his bow. The length of person'sar t
for instance, determines the he
of the arrow lie shoots. His strene
determines how powerful a bowl
can shoot.
If you’re a novice how hunter,
would lie well worth your time!
seek die assistance of an expertan
archery range or a sporting goo;
store.

However, much of the more tit

Galveston man makes his dream
reality with new ‘flying machine’
GALVESTON (AP) — After two
years, the dream that sent inyentor
Curtis Cowen from the midst of a
sound sleep to his drawing board is
aluminum, wood and acrylic reality.
The dream — which has taken
Cowen’s life savings and driven his
little sports car into the street out of
the cluttered garage — is a new type
of flying machine.
To call the device a “flying saucer”
seems trite, yet that is perhaps the
best way to describe the 9'/2-foot-
wide by six-inch-thick disc that
makes up the bulk of the machine.
A pair of vertical fins provide
both steering and a definition of
“back” on the flyer, and a round
hole in the middle houses an engine
and propeller. Mounted over the en
gine well is the pilot’s seat, and a con
trol stick rises from the body of the
craft just forward of that.
The design bears some resem
blance to saucer-shaped hovercraft
that flew just off the ground some
years ago, but by “severely over
powering and over-pimpellering it,”
as Cowen puts it, the machine will
get off the ground and with modifi
cations, he believes it will both hover
and fly at altitude.
“It’s been two years in the works,”
said Cowen, to whom the design
came literally in a dream. “It seems
like three lifetimes . . . four gallons
of blood ... 27 gallons of tears . . .
and a swimming pool full of sweat.”
Cowen is confident the hours and
weeks and months spent hunched
over computers, huddled with aero-
dynamicists and other specialists —
and sweating over the nuts and bolts
with longtime friend Charles Brooks
in his un-airconditioned garage —
will pay off.
“I’ve had people who are experts
in the area of aerodynamics look at
it, and they were pretty impressed,”
Cowen said.
The eight-horsepower motor
mounted amidship turns a propeller
with four stubby, squared-off blades
that to the uninitated seem too small
to lift the craft. However, “strator
vanes” curving in toward the engine
orifice concentrate the airflow into a
small, intense vortex, Cowen s
providing enough ihrust (ojft
ship airborne. %»
Forward motion comes by til
the ship so the downward thru
slightly deflected to the rear.
Cowen says the machine wa)
“big-time success” in its raaidei
flight last month. He rates its perfe
tnance at 15 on a scale of 10.
During the flight test, Cowendfl
cided not to rise more than2.5o[
feet because until he installs a spec:
gyroscopic stabilisation system,then
is too much danger the craft wi
over.
He is convinced the machine*
go much higher.
Mexican exhibit on display in Dallas
DALLAS (AP) — Until this month, Jose Val
dez of Chihuahua, Mexico, had only dreamed of
seeing Diego Rivera paintings in person.
But Valdez and his family were among the
more than 50,000 people who have seen more
than 350 masterpieces by Rivera and other Mexi
can artists since “Images of Mexico: The Contri
bution of Mexico to 20th Century Art” opened at
the Dallas Museum of Art on August 28.
The free exhibit, which some say is outpacing
a Georgia O’Keeffe retrospective also at the
DMA, is an unprecedented collection of draw
ings, paintings and photographs from Mexican
galleries and private collections.
The exhibit, in its only North American stop,
features a dramatic and surprisingly rich variety
of works by Mexican greats such as Rivera, Jose
Clemente Orozco, Rufina Tamayo, Vincent
Rojo, and Frida Kahlo, and dramatic photo por
traits of Mexican history-makers such as Emi-
liano Zapata and Pancho Villa, taken by Augustin
Casasola.
“We were expecting to pay money,” said Val
dez, who said he was awed by standing inches
away from masterpieces he had previously only
seen in books. “My amigos told me about this.
Very impressive.”
The exhibit is impressive — even to those who
regularly see great art come and go.
David Tekle, a 26-year-old museum employee,
took a break from scrubbing marble steps on this
day and spent a few minutes sitting in front of an
overpowering painting, “The Aztec Jaguar” by
Conrado Vasquez.
The breathtaking, lacquer-on-wood work
shows an Aztec warrior wrapped in a jaguar’s
skin and he seems to be taking on the personality
of a prowling, flame-colored cat.
“It’s beautiful,” Tekle said. “Look at this — ev
erything’s incredible. The color. The action.”
But those who especially appreciate the unique
exhibition, probably as no others can, are they
who had only heard about some of these worksin
their homeland, and never believed they w
have a chance to see them.
“It’s not easy to see this art in Mexico, because
the expositions are very limited,” said Ramon
Castanon Jr., who had come to view the worls
with his father. “It’s very difficult. Alltheartii
concentrated in one city — Mexico City —and
is very limited what the public is allowed to see,
The exhibit previously appeared in Frankfurt.
West Germany, and Vienna, Austria. It was
brought to Dallas through the efforts of retails
coon Stanley Marcus and DMA staff memta
Jack Rutland, who saw the show in Frankfurt.
“They found out what it would take, then
took a major fund-raising effort on our part
get it here,” said Melanie Wright, a spokesman
for the DMA.
The exhibit, being underwritten by NeirtW
Marcus and other area sponsors, will run
through Oct. 30 at the Dallas museum.
