THE THANKFUL SEASON By ARLYNE RHODE

Congratulations Jim Easton for your selection as International Committee member. Jim has spent a lifetime supporting and sponsoring U. S. Archer. Coverage on Jim's appointment on page 349. Recreational archery met a new milestone this summer when St 50,000 were given out at a single event, the ASA World Championships in Valdosta, Georgia, under the direction of Wayne

Pearson. ESPN aired this event in October. Blow by blow coverage by Bill Shiver is on page 384. As a result of the growing interest in 3-D archery, a new association called the Association of Professional Archers has been formed. See more details on page 342. The International Bowhunters Association also had an outstanding year with more prizes and scholarships given than ever before. See page 388 for IBO coverage. Our National Field Archery Association members travelled to Bury St. Edmunds, England, to vie for world field titles Photos and results begin on page 378. Our National Archery Association staff, competitors, coaches and supporters never take time out. They are sending junior and adult teams worldwide and have been very successful. Each of these tournaments brings us one step closer to the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. To help ensure everyone can get the tournament schedule by way of phone an Archery Tournament Hotline has been installed. Bill Pimm, owner of the 900 line, has collaborated with THE U. S. ARCHER to bring this service to you The number is 900-336-2020 x 275 for east of the Mississippi and 900-336-2020 x 282 for west of the Mississippi. As 1994 comes to a close I want to thank our advertisers, subscribers, and supporters for another blessed year. Archery helps bnng health and well being to us in different forms. The competitors are keeping physically fit to shoot good scores. Coaches are keeping up with the

latest shooting techniques and working hard at relating these skills to the archers. Reporters have been busy keeping us informed of worldwide competitions. Wherever you fit into the archery picture, I wish you health and happiness for the new year. As a way to share your blessings, make it possible for a new archer to be bom through the Police Athletic League. American Archery Council President Jim Shubert has put together a program, Bows tor Kids, where you are able to donate your old equipment and get a tax exemption at the same time. You may contact him at: AAC, 604 Forest Ave , Park Rapids, MN 56470 or call 217-732-7747. Another good Samaritan at work with the blind and hemophiliac children in Arizona is Jim Schultz. Recently Jim called me and said he had received tax exempt status for this new organization, Archers Who Care. More details will be coming in the January-February issue. Starting in January these new archers will be starting league shooting. Coverage will be carried in THE U. S. ARCHER. Anyone that would have equipment for blind archers such as sights and light equipment to donate to this cause is invited to call Jim at 602-837-3119, write 16144 E. Palisades Blvd., Fountain Hills, AZ 85268. What better way to share your blessings! I'm looking forward to meeting many of you at the tournaments or shows.

HAVE YOUR SAY ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE USA ... PLEASE WRITE When I started Field Archery some twenty years ago. I was always under the impression that the idea was to simulate hunting conditions. But under a controlled and safe environment where the barbanc element has been eliminated. The skill of the sport being able to shoot across the slopes, up and down the hills, etc. The ideal place lor this being in a wood, where if one was hunting one would expect Io find an animal. Having just returned from the Swedish Field Archery Championships and from the World Field Archery Championships in France, where in my capacity as Assistant Team Manager I was fortunate enough to be able to talk and swap ideas with FITA representatives It worried me to find out that the thinking of FITA was to bring Field Archery and Target Archery together, so that the same lormat applied to both sides of the sport In other words if something changes on the target side, it must also be applicable to the field side and vice versa. This evidently is why we have a cut olf point ol sixteen archers and elimination rounds after two days shooting

The archer then has Io start again with a no score situation to try to prove that he/she is able to do the same under a pressure situation. I have seen both in Sweden and France probably some of the finest shooting I will ever see At the end of a two day penod. competition has taken an archer into a 1 or 2 point lead over another. Why. when this point has been reached does the rule book say that although this archer has been under pressure for two days - he has not won. Ol course the archer has won, why should elimination rounds come into It? BECAUSE IT’S DONE IN TARGET ARCHERY? Let the third day be one for a team event. say over 12 targets, something that is worth watching-something that brings back the patriotic flavor of competition. In France one shot by one person brought cheers and tears of joy to those watching. It was great to be there to hear and feel the atmosphere. Some want to alter the new face yet again, talk of changing the scoring system ■ leave it alone. It is good for the top archers and it encourages the beginner Mutterings of introducing a world ranking system, whereby only those at the top would be able to take part in a World Championship. What happens to the person who may win the right to represent his/her country and whose name is not in the world ranking system?

Archers for the world event spend a great deal of time and money, many have Io pay the* own way When an elimination system takes place, it means that many people are sat around forced to watch their fellows fight it out - as costs rise could it be that the elimination system may well deter archers from coming to shoot. I was informed by FITA representatives that if one was not happy with the way things are. that one should wnte in and say so - not just once but many times, this is my first effort. I wonder if over the next few months you would be willing to put your name to a petition asking for the sort of changes mentioned9 Mike Shepherd 56. Green Lane Higher Poynton nr Stockport Cheshire SK 12 1 TJ

England FORTY YEARS AND FORTY NIGHTS Have you ever wondered. "Who is the most important person in the sport of archery?' Conversations at every tournament event center around various personalities The names inclixle manufacturers, inventors, professional shooters, and names from history, such as Fred Bear. Rube Powell, or Howard Hill. Every 'famous' person in archery has done something that contributes to the sport as a whole. But. it I'm honest. I have to admit that the sport in its entirety CONTINUED ON PAGE M2

"Facing heat, wind and a reigning champion,

a world record NEVER crossed my mind.” f l^e recent F1TA World Target Championships in Antalya, Turkey, Korean archer Park,

Kyung-Mo faced two problems during the new Olympic Round: unfavorable weather and a highly favored opponent. But he had confidence in himself and his Easton A/C/E shafts. "Against 90 degree heat, a steady breeze and former World Champion Stanislav Zabrodsky, I knew

I’d have to be nearly perfect during this semi-final match. At 70 meters, the target seemed to be the size of a coin. My first two shots found the ten

ring: my third shot, a nine. But it was to be my last nine. Every other

Easton A/C/E struck its mark. and I scored 119 points out of 120 possible —

a new world record. And with a new world record behind me, I went on to take first in

the gold medal round. It was unbelievable. But then again, 1 had put in the practice. And I had my Easton A/C/E arrows.”

The A/C/E. The only arrow

I count on for record­

setting speed and accuracy - Park, Kyung-Mo

is not as important to me as my particular involvement in it. and my personal experience in archery is not due to any of the people that you probably know. I would not enjoy the great experience of shooting if it weren't for the most important person in archery, Dad. Maybe you have a dad like mine, or a friend. or a brother or sister. Someone who gave you a bow and took the time to teach you how to shoot; who took you hunting and to tournaments. introduced you to other archers, and laughed heartily at your naivete. My first bow was a black. wooden long bow, only about three feet long since I was only about three and a half feet tall. That was forty years and a thousand great memories ago. Remember your first hunting experience? Mine included passing up a nice eight point because I thought it must be a fawn ■ my dad had not realized that a thirteen year old might be looking for an animal closer to the size of the or milk cow. I think I missed seeing the hat rack on the buck because of a ternble fear of the dark (which no self-respecting hunter would admit to Dad). As soon as the sun approached the horizon, the monsters began to form in the shadows With all of the permutations of that scenario, who had time to look for antlers? Hunting until dark in northern Michigan meant two things to me - watching for skunks on the way back to the car, and a great cup of hot chocolate back home, while Dad watched Huntley and Brinkley You may think I'm kidding about the skunk-someday I'll tell you the story of my brother-in-law who once shot a skunk and then carried it back to the car to ask his dad how to get the arrow out. Yes. they did ride home with the windows open. Occasionally, when hunting with Dad. there was a trip out with the gas lanterns to find the downed game. Those nights generally meant learning a lot about tracking blood trails, trying

to keep up with the guy with the light (and its hissing noise and strange shadows) and being delighted that the last thing we found on those nights was almost always the car. Field archery was my dad's other passion. He used to try to tell me that my little black bow wouldn't shoot 65 yards. I showed him, once I even hit the target. National archery came into our lives some time later. I even met my husband at an archery range. ‘Date* often meant a practice round at the range, a tournament somewhere, or an evening of hunting. I think my husband-to-be liked that. It was cheap. When our kids came along, we introduced them to archery and to the concept that 'vacation" is just another word lor hunting and tournaments. Ever take two children in the cub division to an NFAA Outdoor Championship? It's a blast lor the whole family 111 never forget the time a friend's teenager watched the kids for the hours separating their finish time from our own. I was totally amazed upon returning to the hotel to find that my eight year old son had learned to swim. I had been coaxing him to learn for years and gotten nowhere. Only much later did I learn that the baby sitter had tossed him into the deep end of the pool shouting, 'Sink or swim. Sucker!" Archers, what a gentle group ... and good baby­ sitters. too. The memories fill an album and include a picture of a very happy little girl accepting her first silver cup (yet another story). Today, my husband and I shoot somewhere almost every weekend. We've recently moved to a new area, but we re still surrounded by all the VIP's of archery, people who welcome new folks and help them get acquainted. In our sport we have great friendships which are renewed at every shoot, and we have the challenge and enjoyment of welcoming new folks into our special world. My most important person. Dad, still shoots almost every day. He retired Io become the "host" of an archery range in a county park near Mesa

ANNOUNCING THE FORMATION OF THE ASSOCIATION OF PROFESSIONAL ARCHERS Avid archers participating in the professional classes of major 3-D archery tournaments have announced the formation of a new organization. the Association of Archery Professionals (APA). There's an increasing number of high-dollar tournaments, with tens of thousands of dollars in prize monies up for grabs, but the potential winnings are balanced by substantial investments in equipment, practice, entry fees and travel expenses. This group has formed from professionals actively tounng the tournament circuit, with goals of enhancing archery's image. improving communication within the sport, and with an eye to offenng tips, advice, seminars and other support to sponsors, amateur tournament archers, and newcomers to archery. These dedicated professional tournament archers are of a different ilk than the typical bowhunter, who may have a foam block or straw bale in the backyard and practice senously for only a lew weeks a year. Spurred by the growth in tournaments, and the increased publicity with tours like the 6-site Archery Shooter's Association series, purses of $10,000 are available, with the year-end overall winner making an additional $30,000. That s serious money and these professional participants are serious shooters. Most have several bows, a dozen or so lifelike 3-dimensional animal targets. and spend hours each week tuning, practicing or otherwise preparing for tournament competition Add to that time the 2-day weekend events, plus a day or two travel for most, and you can see that this is equivalent to a part-time job. For a few of these pros, it's already become full-time. And many more have that dream and are working to make it reality The APA has strict membership requirements and performance criteria that must be met. For more information, write:

FIRST PERFECT SCORE! One Archer captures Three New World FITA Records in One Day! Seoul. Korea, Korean archer. Mr. Han SeungHun, experienced a truly incredible day on June 13 of this year at the 1st Seoul International Archery Tournament 1994 held June 10-15. Equipped with Beman Diva 'S' 21 arrows, he not only placed well in the qualification rounds. he broke Rick McKinney's 12 year long standing 50-meter record of 345 by 3 points with a score of 348. According to the official FITA Judge Committee Newsletter. Han Seung-Hun then went on to shoot FITA's first recorded perfect score with a 360 at 30 meters 'That record will be hard to beat!" the newsletter stated Even so, it is speculated that FITA will have to look at establishing new criteria for this distance Not satisfied with having a merely remarkable day. Han Seung-Hun went on to set a third new world record, this time for the single FITA of 1356. breaking Mr. Echeev's 1992 record of 1354 'These accomplishments are tremendous.' commented David Polzen of Beman Archery According to the official observers. Beman Diva 'S' arrows have been used to set a total of 6 world FITA records within the past three years Korean archer. Youn-Jeong Cho. shattered three world records at the recent games in Barcelona with scores of 338 in both the 70 and 50 meter distances and a near perfect 1375 in the FITA competitions. Cho's record-breaking performance helped her team win three gold medals. She was among a select group ol archers shooting Beman carbon fiber arrows at the games According to the official FITA Judge Committee Newsletter, because of several recent and unpublished minor changes of the Olympic format, this well attended tournament (27 countries participated) was conducted under Barcelona Olympic rules.

Ken lived his life by certain standards and beliefs and earned these out in his life.

IN MEMORY OF LUCILLE SHINE 1918-1994 By FREDDIE TRONCOSO

NOVEMBER ■ DECEMBER 1994

If you can keep your heart when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; It you can trust yourself when an men doubt you. But make allowance tor their doubting too. If you can wait and not be tired by waiting. Or being lied about, don 1 deal in lies. Or being haled, don’t give way to hating. And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise If you can dream and not make dreams your master; If you can think and not make thoughts your aim. II you can meet with tnumph and disaster And treat those two impostors /ust the same: II you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves Io make a trap for fools. Or watch the things you gave your hie Io. broken. And stoop and build them up with worn-out tools: II you can make one heap ol all your winnings And nsk it on one turn ol pitch and toss. And loose, and start again at your beginnings And never brea the a word about your loss. If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve you long after they are one.

Lucille Shine, one of the most respected and fiercest competitors archery has ever known passed away dunng the month of August 1994. The ubiquitous Lucille Shine, better known as 'Lou', was bom in 1918 and started shooting in 1954 at the encouragement of her son Eddie who insisted that mom and dad take up archery to make it a family sport. Lucille Shine first started competing in the Barebow Division during 1956 and switched over to Freestyle in the following year that led to her first State Championship in 1958. During 1962 she won her first NFAA Champions crown along with winning the NFAA National Indoor Championship for the same year. The year 1965 found her winning her second NFAA Championship when she became the very first woman to break the 1000 score barner for the field round. Lou posted a 1005 record in national competition and proved to the world that she was the woman to do it. The attraction of shooting for prize money prompted Lou to shoot and win lhe Bear Easton Shoot that gave her a check for $1000.00 and all the glory of winning the prestigious tournament. In 1962 Lou won the Colt-Sahara. winning $500.00 first place money, and again won $700.00 top money during the U. S. Open in Las Vegas ol 1967.

And hold on when there is nothing in you Except the win which says to them: Hold On! If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue. Or wait with Kmgs-nor loose the common touch. If neither foes nor loving Inends can hurt you. If al men count with you. but none too much: If you can bil the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth ol distance run. Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it. And ■ which is more ■ you wit be a man. my son!

Rudyard Kipling

Upon retinng from trucking. Ken moved to Florence. Wl. in 1981. We planted a 280 tree apple orchard and dad began farming Ken wanted to help the local community and began looking tor a business to purchase In September ol 1984. he purchased American Archery in Oconto Falls. Wl. and moved the business to Florence. Wl, and began production there. American Archery had a fine reputation but had fallen on hard times financially. Ken saw the opportunity to use this company Io become an extension of his beliefs. Ken wanted to demonstrate that a company committed to integrity, honesty and good products at a reasonable price could survive in (he chaotic archery industry. Dealers began to recognize that his word was his bond and whal he said would be done. American's power flex limb became a very copied item and is now on many top end bows. Ken made one last heap of all his winnings and bet it on American Archery. As the company began to turn around though, it ran out of money and Ken was forced to sell. We all lost a fine person. Ken was an honest man who loved people and life A man of integnty who could be counted on. He was my teacher of values, morals and beliefs. He was my wizzard showing me many wonders and demonstrating by his own life, how best to live. Most fortunately for me. he was my father; I will miss him. Stan Laird Dnven by the urge to represent her country at the World Trials during 1959, Lou missed making the team by finishing fourth. Not wanting to give up. Lou obtained private sponsorship to go to Sweden and finished in third place behind Carol Meinhart and 1959 World Champion Ann Weber Corby (Hoyt). Driven by the urge for more competition. Lou picked up a slingshot and dominated the women's event held in conjunction with the Vegas tournaments from 1973 through 1977. Lou always said that shooting a slingshot was "very much like shooting a bow'. With either a bow or slingshot in her hands. Lou was a tough contender to beatl Yes, Lou will be remembered as that very dedicated and serious competitor who was there to win or to at least let them know she was there trying! To those of you who did not have the pnvilege of knowing Lou. inside of her determined and intense face was very soft and caring person capable ol winning the hearts of those around her. Archery will never forget the driving 'spirit' and competitor that was the great Lucille Shine.

Author Freddie Troncoso spent time with Lou in 1968 while a musician in Las Vegas.

E3EASTON-

HARD AT WORK AT THE 1W JUNIOR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

Jim Easton has long been a supporter and sponsor of U.S. archery. He became a virtual guardian of the sport internationally. And now he has entered the realm of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Easton was selected as the United States' latest member of the IOC in September. The election, which occurred at the 12th Olympic Congress in Paris, France, makes him one of the most powerful Americans in the movement "I am honored to be chosen In this position - it's something a lot of other people wanted," he said. "I think the IOC based its decision upon the fact that FITA did a good job of changing the sport and bringing It Into the 21st century." Easton Is In his second lour-year term as president of FITA (Federation Internationale de Tlr a I'Arc), the sport's worldwide governing body. After his first election in 1989, Easton forged ahead with plans to solidify archery’s spot on the program of the Olympic Games •• and that Is where he made his mark.

"Staying in the Olympic Games has certainly been on the top of my list of concerns since I became an officer in FITA," Easton said. "All of our activity has been devoted to insuring our inclusion in the Games. We've recruited new member countries and we changed the competition to become more attractive to TV and spectators." Between 1989 and 1993, membership in FITA grew from 73 to 101 countries - an increase Of nearly 28 percent In 1990 the competition format for the Olympic Games was changed from the Grand FITA Round to the Olympic Round in an effort to heighten excitement. In Grand FITA, the total score after 36 arrows determined the winner. The Olympic Round is similar to a tennis tournament in that it is a head-to-head type of competition, with archers shooting 12 or 18-arrow matches within 15 minutes. The winner advances to the next round. "All activities of FITA eventually come back to inclusion in the Games," Easton said. "We have more countries active on a higher level and we continue to improve our image and competition in order to stay one of the sports in the Games. If we do everything else right, it will secure that for us. We must not relax." National Archery Association (NAA) President Tom Stevenson. Jr. said Easton's ability to see beyond the here-and-now has strengthened archery. "He has amazing vision for the sport and how FITA fits into the Olympic movement." Stevenson said. Olympic silver medalist ('84) and three-time world champion Rick McKinney agrees that the sport must keep moving forward. "Jim’s mission was to keep archery in the Olympics because he knows how important that is tor the sport," McKinney said. "It’s especially important in the U.S because archery would drop off fast if it were dropped from the Olympics. They saw a tremendous amount of growth in the mid-60s when the IOC announced it would add archery in 1972." Easton is one of two United States sports representatives to receive a lifetime appointment on the IOC. The other Is Anita DeFrantz, a former Olympic rower and president of the Amateur Athletic Foundation of Los Angeles. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

"Our goal is to be the presence of the IOC in the U.S. Olympic movement." Easton said. "We will help make sure we are in maximum assistance to the USOC and its athletes. I am a relative newcomer to the IOC. Out of respect to the organization, you must learn what goes on before you can expect to be a great contributor. I will be learning the procedures and issues." IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch virtually ignored the USOC's list of four nominees in selecting Easton. As the President of FITA, Easton fits in with Samaranch's ongoing plan of unity with the international federations that send athletes to the Olympics (The IOC's membership consists of both the international federations of the Olympic sports and the National Olympic Committees.) "Samaranch has done an excellent job." Easton said. "He stnves for that unity m almost all of his activities -- this is a plus for the Olympic Movement He wants to make sure all branches are represented well. The purpose of having the international federation presidents on the IOC was to make debates informed so that the federation views are adequately presented and championed. In this case, I will represent the view of the federations, as the other member presidents will also do " As a result of his IOC membership. Easton automatically becomes a member of the U.S. Olympic Committee's (USOC) Executive

Commmittee and the board of directors for the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games (ACOG). This sounds like a lot to do. considering Easton is also Chairman and President of Jas. D. Easton. Inc and Easton Aluminum. Inc. "I've never seen someone so efficient, who does so much work. He travels so much, too." said McKinney, who is the NAA's Fundraiser In an international atmosphere lhat will require a good deal of diplomacy. Easton will fit nght in. Stevenson said Easton is very thorough in whalever he does "He listens well and collects a lot of information before he reaches decisions He doesn't have an agenda other than to help the sport," Stevenson said. "I think people see lhat and respect him for it." "He never pushes anything." McKinney agrees "He tnes Io convince in a positive way and he respects your feelings on a subject. He has that leadership quality you see very seldomly "

&

Having Easton in such a key position can only bode well for U.S archery, and the NAA is well aware of this. "The IOC selection of Jim Easton may become the most significant event for the sport of archery since its addition to the Olympics in 1972," said Stevenson "It will raise our visibility within the IOC. within the USOC and also within the media That a small sport has this opportunity is just incredible. Coupled with the 96 Games being in the U.S., the future tor archery in this country looks very bnght."

Let’s Get Clear on Eligibility and Advertising by Skip Phillips

The National Archery Association (NAA) and the United States Archery Team (USAT) maintain sponsorship agreements with companies which provide financial support and services in kind to the events and programs endorsed by the NAA and the USAT. The many benefits to NAA members and these sponsors are important to the continuous growth of our sport. It is very important that the integrity of these sponsorship agreements be maintained by a uniform enforcement of the eligibility rules having to do with advertising. With that in mind, let's address the reality of the situation. It seems that competitors, judges and organizers alike have difficulty interpreting what constitutes advertising. The large number of complaints regarding the lack of uniformity in enforcing those rules indicates that most of us have difficulty identifying what is proper advertising. The basic problems seem to be: 1) a lack of understanding of the differences between sponsor advertising and manufacturer trademarks, and 2) a lack of uniform enforcement by organizers and judges. WHAT ATA SAYS Following is a review of the specific Articles in the "FITA Constitution and Rules’ that deal with eligibility and advertising. The Articles set

the standards that competitors must comply with and. of course, are the guidelines for enforcement by judges and organizers 2.2.3-Competitors may allow their person, name, picture or sports performance to be used for advertising, provided that FITA. their National Olympic Committee. National Sports Authority and/or their Member Association enters into a formal contract for sponsorship, 2.2.4-Competitors may have advertising, no more than one per item, of one sponsor in addition to the normal manufacturer trademarks of the articles worn. The manufacturers trademark is the registered mark of the company who {that) produced the item. If a company has an item made for it under contract the label of the item, il appropriate to the item, shall correspond to it's trademark. 2.2.5~Competitors may have advertising, no more than one per item, ol one sponsor on their personal and technical equipment (i.e.. bows. bags, etc.) In addition to the items normal trademark. 2.2.6-AII advertising referred to In Articles 2.2.4 and 2.2.5 above shall not exceed 225 square cm. The archers Back Numbers are not covered by this Article. 2.2.7-AII trademarks referred to in Articles 2.2.4 and 2.2.5 above shall not exceed 30 square

This is a dear violation of Article 2.2.5 * An archer is observed weanng an Adidas shirt with Joe’s Auto Repair screened above the right breast pocket. The sizes of the Adidas and the Joe's Auto Repair logos conform with Articles 2.2.6 and 2.2.7. The Adidas logo is the manufacturer's trademark, while the Joe's Auto Repair logo would not be allowed because Joe's is not a registered sponsor. * An archer is wearing a hat with a SKOAL logo. This would be permitted only if SKOAL is a registered sponsor (By the way, the NAA dress code has no color restrictions on hats and shoes.)

SO, WHAT IS ADVERTISING? We must define advertising as it applies to the above Articles and how we, as competitors. judges and organizers, must interpret what FITA intends in Articles 2.2.3 through 2.2.7. Unless

otherwise indicated, sponsorship and logo size will no longer be a consideration for the rest of this article. When you, as a competitor, decide to display a particular logo on your clothing or equipment, you must ask yourself. "Can this company offer me a wholesale or retail product or service?" If it can. the item would be in violation.

“Can this company offer me a wholesale or retail product or service?" We must strive for enforcement. We are not concerned with the logos of dubs (professional or otherwise), associations or designs (such as Disney characters) without accompanying indication ot pnnted advertising. For example, does a hat with "Miami Dolphins" violate the intent ol FITA? No, but a hat with "Miami Dolphins Sports Clothes. Inc" certainty does. As another example, does a shirt with "Colorado" printed above the right breast pocket violate the intent ol FITA? Again, no, but "The Colorado Travel Agency, Inc." certainly does. SUPPORT NAA SPONSORS Many companies donate thousands of dollars to support our clubs and associations. They

deserve to have our archers and judges aware and protective against any company who has not paid for the right to advertise on our archers or venues Those of you who took the time to read this article will have a better understanding ot what constitutes advertising If all concered competitors, judges and organizers - will take a common sense approach to how we address these problems, we can greatly reduce or completely eliminate the confrontations that always seem to occur at events. Common sense will also provide a climate of understanding of the intent of Articles 2.2.3 through 2.2.7. We must strive for uniform enforcement. The Officials and Rules Committee has asked the NAA to include a current list ol sponsors and athlete sponsorships in each newsletter, as a courtesy to our competitors. judges and organizers. This will serve as a checklist tor what may be worn for advertising. However, there is one fool-proof system to guarantee compliance - only display advertising

that is on the list! Please direct questions regarding this article to the Chairman. Officials and Rules Committee. phone/fax (610) 777-6306.

NEWS FROM THE NAA by Chris McCartney On behalf of the NAA, it is a pleasure to offer our heartiest congratulations to Jim Easton on his recent election to the International Olympic Committee as the second member from the United States We wish Jim every success in the months and years ahead in this very challenging position. The NAA Board of Governors held their fall meeting the first weekend in October. Pres. Tom Stevenson, Jr. tackled an extremely "hefty" agenda very efficiently and effectively. At least 14 committee and program reports were reviewed and 28 proposals were addressed in addition to many new and old business items. The approved 1995 STAR tournaments can be found at the end of this magazine. Information on tournament formats for various trials events for next year will be mailed to all NAA members

with the World Indoor Thais and National Indoor registrations packet. There are many new changes within the JOAD program and Debbie Blum covers them in her article. Much time was devoted to discussing the NAA's recently developed HIGH PERFORMANCE PLAN which was designed last spring by the NAA's Strategic Planning Committee, the U.S. Olympic Committee now requires all National Governing Bodies to have such a plan from which they will be evaluated for all future USOC funding. The PLAN was approved by the NAA Board at this meeting and Pres. Stevenson assigned Jane Johnson, recently elected NAA vice president, the responsibility of making sure the NAA stays focused on this HIGH PERFORMANCE PLAN so that we reach our goals. In the PLAN, the NAA has identified seven critical success factors to the organization in achieving its goals and milestones (markers) critical to our evaluation for funding, and the time frames in which to accomplish the goals. Portions of this new PLAN were the guiding factors in the appointment of team coaches and team leaders lor the '95 Pan American Games and World Championships and the '96 Olympic Games. These staff appointments and further details are printed in following articles in this Newsletter. Pres. Stevenson announced the formation of two new committees at the meeting. The

Athlete Training Committee (ATC) will look at all current NAA training plans with an eye to coordinating efforts to develop continuity Carol Strausburg. Chairperson, will look at women’s issues. Committee members Terry LaBeau will cover men's issues. Nancy Mynck will cover coaching. Don Rabska will cover the technical department, and Allen Rasor will cover all athletes' issues. The ATC has established the tournament schedule lor 1996 USATs which is also printed in this Newsletter. The new Trials & Tournament Committee will be chaired by Rick Stonebraker. This committee will examine and evaluate current tournament programs and trials formats for the future. With another Board election coming up next year, a 1995 Nominating Committee was established and will be comprised of the following regional representatives: Norm Graham (N). Julia Bowers (E). Judy Glaser (S). and Roy Nelson (W). Individuals interested in running for the Board positions next year should contact the representative from his or her region tor more details (or call the office.) More information from this meeting will be published in the next Newsletter. In the meantime, anyone wishing a copy of the October Board minutes may call the office and request a copy.

Chris McCartney is the NAA's Executive Director.

New Plan Guides Appointment of ’96 Olympic Archery Staff The National Archery Association has implemented a new, collaborative approach for the coaching of archery teams selected for international events. This new approach, a component of the NAA's recently developed high-performance plan to determine alternative coaching options, will strengthen interaction between athletes, their personal coaches and the appointed coaching staff. The NAA Board of Governors appointed the staff for the '96 Olympic Games with this concept in mind. In the past, onty one or two coaches were selected to travel with athletes to major competitions and pre event training sessions, but in the sport of archery most team members have their own individual coaches. The NAA now recognizes that it is in the best interest of each athlete to have his or her individual coach involved in the training plan leading up to the Olympic Games. A Team Coach, therefore, will now serve as the coordinator for the personal coaches at the event. Mike King (Grand Rapids, Ml) was selected as the '96 Olympic Team Coach, with Lloyd Brown (Van Nuys, CA) as the Assistant Team Coach. Teresa Brothers (Loveland, OH) was selected as the Team Leader. The selections are pending approval by the USOC International Games Preparation Committee. King has also been the U.S. Team Coach at the '94 Goodwill Games, the '93 World Indoor Championships and the '91 Pan American Games. He has been a Staff Coach for the U.S. Archery Team training camps since 1988 and was the U.S. Archery Team Coach at the '90 Mexican Olympic Festival. Brown coached the U.S. teams to the '93 and '94 Junior World Championships and the '93 World Target Championships. He has also

coached numerous U.S. Archery Team (USAT) camps and Junior Elite USAT camps. Brothers was the Team Leader for the '94 U.S. Junior World Championships Team and the '92 Championships of the Americas. She has served as a Team Leader. Judge and Scoring Coordinator at various U.S. Olympic Festivals. King, Brown and Brothers will also accompany the U.S. team that will compete at the '95 World Target Championships.

Seminar Benefits Archery Coaches

PHOTO BY NANCY MYRICK

The Fifth Annual Archery Coach Seminar was held Oct. 2-9, 1994 at the Olympic Training Center (OTC) in Colorado Springs. The purpose of the seminar was to disseminate the most

current information on equipment and coaching techniques. The seminar covered such topics as the compound bow, the recurve bow, coaching philosophy, nutrition, drug testing, sport psychology, strength conditioning and shooting and the physically challenged. This is very inspirational," said participant Ronnie Hatcher. "It's always good to compare with the other coaches plus it’s a pnvilege to be at these facilities." For first-time participant Rhonda Polak, the seminar was not only informational but also fun. "I'm learning a lot and relearning some of what I'd learned in the past," she said. "I've had the most fun in the cafeteria hashing over problems and questions with coaches who have more experience than me. It helps me gain confidence in what I have learned." Presenter Jacques-Andre Morin, whose coaching program trained the entire men's 1992 Canadian Olympic Team, talked about high performance. He also participated in the seminar's other sessions. This seminar is quite interesting because it might help me to do a better job," Morin said. "You have lots of good coaches here." Other presenters were: Jim Pickering (Compound Bow/Tuning Compound Bow); George Tekmitchov (Hoyt Seminar on Compound Bow/Tuning Compound Bow/Easton Seminar on Recurve Bow/Tuning Hands on Recurve); Judy Nelson, OTC (Nutrition); Rick McKinney (Coaching Philosophy); Bob Mitchell.

National Coach Nancy Myrick is excited about the move. "We re all looking forward to it," Myrick said. "For as nice as the people in Colorado Springs are. we're limited because of the weather and the type of sport we're in." The 1994-95 Resident Athletes (RA) -■ David Howie. Stacy Murkin. Bob Sieg and Jason Vaccarello - and Myrick will bunk elsewhere until the OTC facilities open on March 1. Myrick said the RA program will be expanded to eight permanent RAs. 'The current RAs will have more athletes to shoot against, we'll have inter-team competitions, and maybe we ll be able to host smaller qualifying tournaments," Myrick said. “Having more competition will speed up their growth factor." The RAs feel the program is working for them "I think this is the greatest thing an archer can have." said Howie, who has been with the program since August. "I feel it's a great honor. The whole way of living is different - I can concentrate more on archery, more on school." Murkin and Vaccarello represented the United States at the 1994 Junior World Championships and feel the OTC was a good place to prepare. “I'm open to more benefits here -• more equipment, a pool, weight room, nutritionist and sports psychologist." said Vaccarello. who arrived in January 1994. Tm more consistent, stronger." “It's really good to be in a place where you're pushed to your potential in everything." Murkin, who has been with the program since mid-1993. said. “It's fun to be with a bunch of athletes because we support each other in training and competition." Myrick agreed. They take care of each other and look after each other," she said. "Last year we had Ihree girls and one guy and this year it’s the reverse. The girls were competitive for each other but still there for each other and it's the same with the guys this year." Bob Seig joined the program with Howie in August and suffered a setback in October when he crashed his bike. His right clavicle was broken when he flew headfirst over the handlebar. This is a real letdown for me because I've been working toward the Pan Am trials and now I can't shoot them.” he said. Myrick said it might be a positive setback, that he'll be able to focus more on mental training until the bone heals. And not long after that, they'll all be headed west to train where the weather will be most cooperative. ■Having the facilities where we won't be contained for practice times is going to be a great asset,” Myrick said.

Korea was close behind with five medals (three individual and two team) and Italy came in third with three team medals. "Many of the team members were successful in meeting their goals and in setting many personal records.' said Coach Lloyd Brown. 1 leel that the team goal was also met in that everyone had a positive, memorable expenence The entire team realized that the increase in team size created new challenges and they were cooperative, understanding and helpful to each other. We really had a sense of team spirit.' The competition consisted of a single FITA qualification round followed by elimination rounds. The USA won both gold and silver in the men's individual Olympic Division, with Vic Wunderfe beating teammate Rodney While. 110106, to take top honors. Jason Vaccarello advanced to the 16th eliminations, while teammate Greg Rydzewski ended the day in the 32nd eliminations

by Jess Carlson, team member After the 1994 National Championships, the Junior World Championships Team traveled to Cincinnati for a week-long training camp. We were a little unsure when we first saw the range -• it seemed small lor the 15 archers that needed to shoot, but it worked out very well. We spent most of our time shooting 70 meters, focusing on individual and team elimination rounds. Duhng the week we got up early in order to practice in the morning so we could go to King's Island, an amusement park. The team used the mental programs we wrote at our training camp in Cincinnati during our practice rounds. I think these programs helped during the tournament. I personally tried to use my program on every shot, and I think that this helped me shoot a lot more consistently I shot my best score ever, so the mental program certainly doesn't hurt! ACROSS THE ATLANTIC The plane trip to Italy seemed to last forever. When we finally reached Roncegno, we were forced to stay awake to adjust to the time change. So. the team walked into town to see the sights and do a little bit of shopping. We were able to practice during our first few days in Italy. The shooting field was in a beautiful location. We were given an opportunity to take a bus to Venice. So. our fearless leader. Coach Lloyd Brown, lead a group of us on a daring expedition into the back alleys where we got to see laundry hanging between building.

in a traffic jam for about 20 minutes. Once we got to the station, we had to get organized quickly because when the tram arnved we had two minutes to load nineteen people and all of our luggage and bow cases on the tram. Once we reached Milan, the team made a mad rush to McDonald's. We had never believed we would miss the sight of the golden arches? The plane ride home seemed to go much faster than the trip to Italy. For such a large group of people. I think we got along exceedingly well I think we would really get on each others' nerves if we had to spend long periods of time together, but for two weeks we had fun Editor s Note: This is an abbreviated version of Jess Carlson’s story Look for the complete version (with more interesting stories) in the "JOAD

COLLEGE DIVISION NEWS BY MARION RHODES

Coming Full Circle by Marion B. Rhodes In the Fall of 1978 when I took over the reins as Varsity Archery Coach at Glendale Community College in Arizona, it was al the request of a young archer from the team. Her name was JUDI ADAMS. Her team's future seemed dim when their coach had suddenly resigned, leaving them adrift. I wasn't sure that I was capable, but since I knew two of the members on the team were students of the very capable archery coach, Al Henderson (United States Olympic Team Coach in 1976), I decided to give the job the old "college try." What a year that team gave me. winning the State Championship, the Southwest Regional Championship, the Overall-National Collegiate Championship at the 1979 U.S. Intercollegiate Championship - yes. besting Arizona State University's women as well as all others! The Women's Individual Collegiate Championship was also won with a record-breaking score by

the same archer who asked me to coach - Judi Adams Her fellow winning team members were All-Americans Michelle Edwards Bland and Cindy Elsass We savored the moments and then the team members all moved on. I continued at Glendale Community College where my teams won numerous other championships over the next nine years. After winning the 1979 Collegiate Championship, Judi had decided to take a year off from college to train full-time for lhe World Championship and the 1980 Olympics. Shooting for the United States, she had already won the Gold Medal at the 1978 Championship of the Americas in Brazil. Then followed with a Bronze individual and Gold team medal tor the U.S. in Puerto Rico in 1979 at the Pan American Games. Al the 1979 World Championship in Germany, Judi brought home the Silver Medal for the United States. Finally.atlhe 1980 Olympic Tryouts. Judi saw a major goal realized when she won the top spot on the U. S. Olympic Teaml Lynette (Edwards) Johnson, Darrell Pace and Scott Kertson were the other U. S. Olympic Team members. Judi, Lynette. and Scott were all students of Al Henderson. Then came the biggest heartache an Olympic athlete could ever experience - the U.S. team boycotted the Olympics and were not allowed to compete. Many of the 1980 Olympians gave up their dreams and their sports. But not Judi Back at Anzona State University tor the 1981 and 1982 seasons, Judi became one of the few four-time ALL-AMERICANS. It's been a long, sometimes discouraging struggle with some painful moments and many recent successes. Through it all Judi has kept the heart and the courage needed to persevere in archery. This past August at the NAA's 110th National Championship, Judi received the gold Dallin Medal given to the 1994 National Champion. Congratulations and God speed in her future endeavorsl NOTES Update: In the Sept./Oct. issue of "The U.S. Archer I wrote about Jay Barrs' national title, but now I would like to note that both of the 1994

National Champions were former College Division archers. Jay’s collegiate archery career began at Colorado Northwestern Community College and finished at Arizona Slate University as National Collegiate Champion. He was also a tour-time All-American. He now carries the 1988 Olympic Gold Medal and has recently ben honored by Jacksonville, Florida, where a 60acre archery park has been named: Jay Barrs Archery Park Dates to Remember: The All-American Camp will be held Jan. 2-8 at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

INTERVIEW WITH ARCHERY’S FIRST FEMALE MODERN DAY OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST By KATHYVELARDI

OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST DOREEN WILBER

It's always interesting to leam about someone who has won an Olympic Gold Medal. Without even knowing the person, we're in awe. We know he or she possesses great athletic skill. tremendous concentration and an inner determination to win far beyond the norm. These champions have our instant respect... because of that Olympic Gold Medal and what we’ve read and seen on the tube about the training, commitment and sacrifice they've made. We're often curious to find out how an individual happened to connect with a particular sport. Like hearing about when your father and mother first met. it can simply be a chance encounter that just happened. And so it is with our first modern day female Olympic Gold Medalist, Doreen Wilber, who unlike most athletes was not even introduced to her Olympic sport until she was in her early 30's. I recently had a telephone conversation with Doreen and began asking her about events that lead to her winning the Olympic Gold Medal. Here's how that conversation went.

\

Question: How and where did you get into archery? Sometime in 1956, my husband. Skeeter, did some work for a man. The man paid him with a bow. The idea of shooting intrigued both of us. We stuffed a box with some newspapers and took aim. That was our first mistake. The arrow went completely through the box, through the side of the garage and into another wall. If we were going to really see what archery was about, we needed to be further away from the house with more space to shoot. From that time on, Skeeter and I regularly walked through the woods shooting at logs and stumps. It was something fun to do together and we loved being outdoors. A year or so later we discovered a field archery range in a town just a few miles away. I remember closely observing some people like Ed Rohde and made mental notes of their shooting techniques. As we got into archery and became friends with other shooters, some of them would comment about my 'natural shooting abilities.' Skeeter and I shot for several years at the archery range and then I entered a slate field archery tournament. I was amazed when I came in first place. Question: Who was most influential to you in the sport. That's easy. My husband. Skeeler. He worked with me. coached me. He would work on my shooting skills for hours, making the little adjustments that were important to improving my shooting. He loved to help me. In fact, we continue working together today with many of the JOAD kids.

Question: Coaching is an important aspect in brinoino an archer to their highest level nf performance. What did vour coaching consist of? Skeeter was the only person to ever coach me. He worked with me on every aspect of my shooting. We lived 60 miles from the closest other FITA shooter so my competition experiences were very limited. Today, archers have many opportunities to shoot in competition and therefore leam those important skills needed to shoot on a line with other archers. I learned

The FASTEST Long Bow

how to block out everything around me and concentrate only on shooting. Question: What events lead uo to vour becoming an Olympic competitor? About six years after I got into field archery, I was introduced to target shooting. I was somewhat intrigued by it and decided to enter the National Target Championship that was being held in Indiana. I was thrilled to be assigned a target with two other women who had just come from the World Championships in Sweden and even more thrilled when I finished third in the event The following year I placed second and that third year I won my first National Target Championship, By the time the Olympic trials came, I had been shooting for 14 years. I knew I had to try out for the Games. Question: What were some of the exciting things that occurred as a result of the 72 Olympics {besides winning the Gold Medal!) There were many special things I remember. Just before the Olympics, they had a reception for the athletes at the White House and we were greeted by Pat Nixon And when I arrived at the airport after the Games, I remember being greeted by many of the people from our small town. To see and hear their enthusiasm was wonderful. I was also included in the first set of "History's Greatest Olympians" collector trading cards. In 1976 I served as a consultant to the Presidents' Commission on Olympic sports for the study of archery. In addition, my Olympic shooting uniform is in the Smithsonian Institute. In 1987 I was inducted into the Archery Hall of Fame.

Question: Was there much press on you and archery as a result of archery coming back into the Olympics after a 52-vear absence? The archery magazines covered the event but I don't remember any major recognition of the sport. I think the coverage of archery over the years has increased, however. And having the flaming arrow shot at the Barcelona Games certainly gave archery a boost.

Question: Did you continue to compete after the For several years I continued to compete. However, at one point I knew it was lime to withdraw from competition. You get to where you think of nothing else but shooting - you go over every detail of your form, relive each shot. The visualization and thought process is a necessary part of competition but the intensity becomes too great. Winning the Gold Medal was fulfilling and exciting and I treasure the memories of the competition and was certainly proud to represent the U.S.

Question: During your competitive years, what major archery contests did you win and what records did you set? I am four-time NAA National Target Champion and an Olympic Gold Medalist. I placed first in the 1968 Ambassador's Cup where I broke 10 records. In 1970, I competed with 10 other countries at the Russian Invitational where I came in first place. I won the 1971 National Target Championship and was the first woman to shoot a 1200 FITA round in a national tournament. In 1976,1 again won the Championship and set a new record of 1214.

Question: What do vou think of the new Olvmoic archery round (NORI? Personally, I would love to shoot the new round because I enjoy the competitiveness of shooting one on one. I also understand the need

to make the archery round more exciting for spectators and easier for the media to follow It was great watching the Barcelona Olympic archery video and seeing the competition build to the final round. Obviously some of the world class competitors will have a more difficult time adjusting to this than others. I do think it's a positive change for FITA archery. Question: What is vour involvement today in archery? Skeeter and I have been JOAD instructors for about live years. We have 21/2 acres of land which gives us plenty of room to work with the kids. The kids are between 8 and 18 and some of them are at our house everyday during the week. Archery has been such a big part of our lives and we enjoy sharing our knowledge and experience with these kids.

Question: For a serious archer, what would be vour words of encouragement and what do vou consider the most important assets to become a world-class archer. Developing your maximum potential in archery will not only help you in the sport but will be an asset in everyday life. I'm talking about the mental, physical and emotional discipline it lakes to maintain regular practice sessions. develop keen concentration skills and create an exercise program that helps you shoot at your optimum under any circumstances. The ability to stay focused and to work with one individual who you trust to guide you on your shooting

techniques are also important. In addition to the discipline, the two words that come to mind are desire and dedication. Questions: How has archery changed since vou began shooting? The equipment has made a tremendous difference The bows are so greatly improved. I have a new Hoyt bow and love it. I've always been a purist so the compound has never interested me. but I know they make it much easier for people to get into archery and shoot with some accuracy in a short time. The newer. lighter carbon and composite arrows have also improved shooting accuracy.

Question: Overall, what has the soort of archery

meant to you?. It's a sport that I've enjoyed sharing with my husband ■ we started shooting together many years ago and today we work together with the JOAD kids. I've met many wonderful people in archery. It's like a big family - with people who really care about you. Even with all the years of competing, on and off the field, those connected with the sport are top notch. Question: Has there been one person who vou feel has had the most positive impact on the soort? The people that come to mind that have made significant contributions to archery are Earl Hoyt. George Helwig, Clayton Shenk and Doug Easton.

A FLOOD OF RECORDS AT THE EUROPEAN OUTDOOR TARGET CHAMPIONSHIPS NYMBURK-JULY 19-23, 1994 By KLAUS-DIETRICH SCHULZ, FITA COUNCIL MEMBER The Czech Archery Federation spared no effort to host the European Championships for both the Olympic and the Compound divisions. Although this meant long days of competition, a burden for the competitors, the organizers and the judges alike, the Czechs managed to create a relaxed atmosphere of friendship and hospitality which enabled the top shooters to shoot top scores. Some felt that separate competitions should have been organized for the Compound and the Olympic divisions, however, for the time being it is FITA's intention to make compound feel at home in the FITA archery family and at FITA competitions, so as to reach a better understanding and more mutual respect between both groups of archers. Those who criticize the new format for time and cost reasons tend to forget that FITA Championships lasted five days in the past as well. Watching archers shoot during practice one couldn't help admiring the athletes who, unperturbed by the almost tropical heat, presented themselves in almost perfect form. On the night before the first day of the competition there was a thunderstorm and then it rained and rained all night and when the long distances of the FITA Round began for the Compound division, 90 and 70 meters for the gentlemen, 70 and 60 meters for the ladies, it

still rained. The high scores of both men and women showed that they were not impressed. The European compound archers seemed to be well prepared. Italy. France. Sweden and Great Britain had sent strong teams. The afternoon was reserved for the Olympic division, the rain had stopped but gusty head wind did not allow top scores and still it was interesting to see that at 70 meters the scores for the Compound and Olympic division, for men and women, were almost on the same level, a demonstration of how well our ladies master this distance and that the inner-10 ring concept works very well for the 70 meters. On the morning of the second day of the competition the wealher conditions were perfect for the Compound division. The temperatures were comfortable again, the sky was overcast and there was no wind. Before noon three world records had been tied and two world records broken. Gbrard Douis (FRA) started at 50 meters with 337 and those who followed were not far behind: 335.334,334; Ruele (ITA) tied the world record at 30 meters 349, followed by 348, 348. 347. With 1337 Ruele established a new world record for the FITA round. The results of the ladies were almost as high. 331,329, 329 at 50 meters. Nelson (SWE), Fabre (FRA) and Olson (SWE) broke the world record for 30 meters with 346 and Nelson tied the worid record for the FITA Round with 1324.

In the afternoon the Olympic archers showed some very fine shooting, too. The French team demonstrated that they are true world champions. Sebastien Flute, the Gold Medalist of Barcelona, was in perfect form, 342 at 50 meters and 355 at 30 meters. With his total score of 1331 he was the only one to keep the wonderful old-timer Goran Bjerendal (SWE) at bay. Seven out of ten ladies belonged to states of the former USSR, only one Swedish and two German archers were their match. Twenty ladies shot above 1300. The last three days were dedicated to the Olympic round in which the best 64 archers meet in head to head competition at 70 meters. Again the compound archers demonstrate that they are no longer just learners, they show how well they have learned their lesson from their American masters. Simon Tarplee (GBR) is the first European Compound Champion. Carollo (ITA) who ends second establishes a new world record lor the Elimination Round with 18 arrows. 168 points out of 180, Tom Henriksen (DEN), the bronze medalist sets two new world records, 112 points with 12 arrows are the new world record for the Finals Round and with 660 points he establishes the new record for the complete Olympic Round (72 arrows). The girls show first class shooting and very exciting matches, too. Helen Nelson (SWE) is

IfW^rks' the first Compound Champion of Europe and with 164 points the new world record holder for the Elimination Round, Miss Simpson (GBR) wins silver and Valerie Fabre (FRA) wins bronze and the new world record for the Finals Round with 111 points. The Olympic Round for the Olympic division shows shooting on a very high level and just as the Compound division proves those critics to be wrong who claim that the FITA Round and the Olympic Round are incompatible that they are rounds for different kinds of archers, long distance runners and sprinters, 70 meter specialists. The results show clearly that you have the same names in front in both rounds, which means simply that the best FITA archers have learned to master the additional stress of the head to head competition of the Olympic Round. Hence the Olympic Round selects the most complete archer, the archer who shows endurance, who shoots all distances well, who can shoot fast and who can master stress best, the archer who is the best. Moreover the Olympic Round makes the competition thrilling for the spectators up to the very last moment. The archer cannot rely on a good previous score, in each match each single arrow is important. It is not the score that counts in the first place, you have to be better than your adversary. Lipponen (FIN) who beat Flute (FRA) in the Gold Medal match shows this admirably well. In this match the two best archers of these championships meet, Flute is the clear favorite and still Lipponen wins. Due to the alternating shooting one can easily follow the match. Flute starts with an exceptional 8, Lipponen answers with a 10. Flute seems to have run out of 10's and cannot catch up whereas Lipponen's arrows find the center time and again. Lipponen wins with 114 against Flute's 110. In the ladies' class. Toutachikova (RUS), the winner of the FITA Round cannot be stopped in the Olympic Round either, not even by the German Barbara Mensing who exhausted her concentration when ousting the Olympic Bronze Medal winner Valeeva (MLD). The last day of the competition is reserved for the team event, the most exciting part of the Olympic Round. Each team has 3 minutes to shoot 9 arrows, 3 arrows per archer with only one archer of each team allowed on the shooting line at the same time. In this event the archers are like race horses and have to be held back by their coaches to avoid a penalty. The Swedish male compound archers who disappointed In the

ONTARIO SPRING CLASSIC ARCHERY TOURNAMENT JUNE 4-5, 1994 Story By David Viney Photos By Ken Brown Photography

CALEDON TARGET FIELD RECORD HOLDER JAY BARRS • 1326 FITA! (OLD RECORD 1288)

JAY BAHRS (L) ANO ROBERT RUSNOV (R) PUKING IT OUT IN THE FINALS

The Ontario Spring Classic Archery Tournament was ready to be shot at one of the world's finest archery facilities set in the beautiful rolling hills of Caledon. Ontario. Canada All the top shooters from Canada are competing outdoors for the first time in 1994. Also competing are Jay Barrs, the 1988 Olympic Gold Medahst. and U.S. National Team Member Janet Schaffer. Darrell Pace was a disappointing no show On Saturday, June 4th, a FITA Star 1440 round was shot under a cloudless sky in 80 degree weather Jay Barrs was in excellent form, dispelling any myths about Caledon being a lough field to shoot by taking the record of 1288 to a sizzling 1326 which is his highest 1994 FITA presently. Janet Schaffer shot her best of 1994 (to date) with a fine 1272 ... nice to see after a lough Arizona Cup. Jennol Robittaille was the top Canadian male placing second with 1248 and the lop Canadian lady was Lois Duckworth gaining her 1200 Star pin with 1213. The fine air in the frozen north must have been a major factor with all the Tine shooting of the day. On Sunday. June 5th, a new Olympic Round was shot ■ you just love it or hate it! The two J's would not be moved - their form was brilliant again - and they continued to rule the field and the day taking first place in their respective classes. The traditional stained glass Canada Geese made by local artisan, Leone Braby, were given as first prizes ... they like to fly south, it seems. Everyone had a good time. We hope to see you all in 1995.

My Fellow Archers, Since my last column I have visited England for the International Field Archery Association's (IFAA) World Field Championships. This event was combined with the European Field Archery Championships (EFAC), and was a week of enjoyment and good shooting for Field Archers from around the world. I have jotted down some of my observations, some of which Arlyne intends to use in her U.S. ARCHER report on the IFAA Championships elsewhere in this issue. Some brief comments on the NFAA/NAA Agreement. Comments made to me often include "Does the NAA have to provide NFAA styles and classes of shooting in their tournaments to satisfy the cross registration paragraph?" The answer is absolutely not! NFAA archers desiring to take part in the NAA tournaments will take part in the styles/dasses/ divisions as offered in the NAA tournament they are concerned with. If they want to participate they will participate exactly as offered - exactly as NAA members would. The other side to the questions is how can an NAA member wishing to shoot in a NFAA tournament, be expected to conform. It may be interesting to note the NFAA. several years ago. added some FITA styles Io their By-Laws. This means the NAA member, in the case of FITA styles Olympic. Compound and Barebow, will find no change in requirements since those styles exist in NFAA Sectional and National Tournaments. If the NAA members desires to shoot in any other style of the NFAA, he/she may do so if his/her equipment meets the requirement of that style. The intention on both sides of the agreement, was not to change the tournament but to make it possible to participate in that tournament. In speaking with NAA President, Tom Stevenson, we recognize the need to make the NFAA tournament schedule available to the NAA membership and the NAA tournament schedule available to the NFAA membership. We have agreed to supply each other with that information as it is available, normally near the first of each year. The NFAA, for its part, will publish the NAA schedule along with its own in ARCHERY magazine. The NAA schedule will be, al minimum, those tournaments the NFAA members are eligible to attend under the

agreement. Further, the NFAA Sectional and National schedule will be forwarded to NAA Headquarters as soon as it is available - for publication to the NAA - presumably through THE U. S ARCHER. You will notice an advertisement for the •Redding Western Classic Trail Shoot and 1st Annual NFAA Marked 3-D National Tournament" in this issue. This is the first year of NFAA's involvement as a national association. This is a marked yardage 3-D shoot and is the best of Its kind. I personally participate in this tournament. A large number of participants have usually been NFAA members and I know they and all others, would relish the opportunity Io share some fun and camaraderie with our fellow archers of the NAA. As mentioned in my last article, I will be leaving the office at the end of this year. This will be my final "Letter From Ken Rogers" column. It has been a very pleasant experience for me and I have enjoyed the opportunity to serve in NFAA's highest office. One of the highlights for me has been working together with representatives of the NFAA and the NAA to ultimately arrive at an agreement between the two associations. There have been many other experiences that shall remain with me as long as I breathe - like having the opportunity to visit new places and to meet new archers and make new friends that otherwise may not have been possible. Archers are archers wherever you may meet them. Perhaps this is why we enjoy this sport so much. Chuck Crowell, current Vice-President of the NFAA, is our President-Elect and Wally Rueger, current Great Lakes Councilman of the NFAA, is our Vice-President-Elect. Chuck was a member of the NFAA negotiation team dunng the challenge by the NFAA and a vital participant in the negotiating phase. You will find him to be a knowledgeable and able participant. Wally has been a staunch supporter of the agreement and. along with Chuck, during their campaign for office, cited the possibilities made possible by the agreement between the NFAA and the NAA I am certain that you will find both of these gentlemen to have the best interests of archery at heart... all of archery! Thank you each for your kind words and your courtesies along the way. Until next we meet. Ken Rogers NFAA President

IFAA World Field Championships A HARD ACT TO FOLLOW WFAC • EFAC 1994 By Stephen Kendrick, P.R.O. English Field Archery Assn.

AMES STARKEY

Where do I start? When everything works as well as it did at Culford School. I could start by saying ’well done" to Culford School for their friendly welcome and their excellent facilities and super food. I could also start by saying "well done" to the course builders for their hard work in building and maintaining five superb ranges. Another way of starting could be to thank all the people who helped by sponsoring the event or all the shops who turned out to help at the event. I could start by thanking all those in the administration block for their hard work and long hours. But. I think the best way is to thank Dorothy Southgate for all that she did to organize this shoot, because without her hard work and at times thankless work. I do not think this event could have taken place.

USA CHAMPIONS

From Ken Rogers The 1994 IFAA World Field Championships were held in Bury St. Edmunds. England on 14-18 August. Actually 14-19 might be more accurate since the IFAA conducts their banquet and award ceremony on Saturday evening. Competitors from the world over began converging at the Culford School, site of the tournament, during the week preceding the tournament. Archers from England. Wales, Scotland and perhaps other places, started filling the campground areas on the school grounds. Late registrations were taken beginning Friday the 12th and continuing during the weekend. Those who had requested accommodations at the school started checking in and filling the dormitory rooms. The line for bow inspections started long and stayed long with each competitor parading past Inspector Brad Marshall, a transplanted American currently working in England and an English Archery Association member. Current and past students of Culford School had been drafted and assigned a myriad of tasks during the week. Pretty Susan Brown, a 1994

I am not going to write a day by day diary about what happened and where, you should have been there. Just a few lines about the week. The event was opened by the Mayor of Bury St. Edmonds, and this was followed by a party in the grounds of Culford School to celebrate the silver jubilee of the IFAA I am not going to write about the week's shooting. I will leave that to you out there, except to say the standard was high, and so was the sun. The banquet and award ceremony at the end of the week was superbly organized by Culford School, and went without any problems, and was definitely one of the best ever. We did have one slight oops, and that was we forgot to thank the cub minders for all their hard work during the week, but then again none of us are perfect. Roll on 1996 and Darrington in the USA who will be the hosts for the next WFAC. graduate, escorted my wife and I to our room in one of the girls dorms. leaving only after being sure we were property situated and knew our way around the facility. Our room was spartan to be sure but we had expected less. To find both hot and cold running water in the room was a pleasant surprise. We were comfortable and the price included breakfast and dinner m the school cafeteria. We never went away hungry. After the long overnight flight from the slates, without sleep, we took a short three hour nap before checking over the rest of the area. A bhef walk took us past the two camping areas where campers were busy setting up tents and caravans (camp trailers) It also led us to the practice range and the merchants area. On the practice range I met young Louis Haseman spotting lor his mom and dad and snapped his picture. along with Bill Campbell, an archery Instructor from Scotland. Bill was dressed in traditional Scottish kilts and drew a lot of attention. Opening ceremonies were held on Sunday afternoon with dignitaries Syd Green, IFAA President (from Australia), Vice President. Dorothy Southgate (England) and, the Mayor of Bury St. Edmunds each speaking a few words of welcome to the assembled archers and guests. The flag of each member nation was raised in alphabetical order, a cub being assigned to each flagpole along wilh the countnes' representative. My little fnend from the practice range, Louis Haseman, was assigned with me at the United States flagpole and we had a great talk. Louis was born in Manila in the Philippines and adopted by an English couple at the age of one month. What a fine job his adoptive parents have done in raising him A nice feature during the whole week was a van from the school which made two trips a day taking people into town for several hours of looking and shopping. This was a fine touch and allowed many first visitors to sightsee and shop. On Monday evening the mayor of Bury St. Edmunds hosted a get-together with some of the town's officials and the IFAA national representatives. She then presented each delegate with a token of the visit. The tournament began Monday morning during the Silver Jubilee of the IFAA - its 25th year. The ranges were all flat and lanes were plenty wide. The area was partially farmed and the sheep that normally roamed some of the ranges had been temporarily moved Io alternate holding areas. The weather, for the most part, was beautiful. We had come expecting temperatures in the low nineties but with the possible exception of one day, it was pleasantly cool. The week was brought to a close on Saturday evening with the Gala Banquet and championship award presentation. It was a week all will remember, not only for the thrill of the competition but for the many new friends made from around the world that link us together in our chosen sport of archery. I must also mention NFAA Pros Frank Pearson and Larry Wise who both conducted seminars during their stay. Each spent an additional night continuing their seminars and each imparted excellent knowledge to a full house. On Sunday many of the visitors began their long trip home. Some were staying in England for awhile to do some sight-seeing. Mie and I were off to Scotland for a few days to see where my mother and grandparents came from. Many are looking (onward, two years, to when the next World Field Championship will be once again beckoning archers of the world • this time to Darrington, Washington, U. S. A.

ANDERS RYDE’N, UNLIMITED WORLD CHAMPION

The 1994 WFAC was held at the public school ol Culford close to Bury St. Edmund just north of London. A neighborhood where U. S. and allied bombers took off daily from over one hundred air fields for their deadly strikes on Nazi Germany fifty years ago. My girlfriend, Anne, and myself flew over London on a more peaceful mission and as it was in broad daylight we got a good view of the magnificent city with the curling river Thymes

floating by the tower and the docks. We had booked a favorable fly and drive ticket and well down on earth at Heathrow airport, we picked up an Opel Corsa and headed north. Bury St. Edmund appeared to be a cozy little town not far from Cambridge with plenty of old houses and an air of old history like so many English countryside towns. We booked into our hotel and then took the ten minute nde to Culford to check into the competition. The next day, Sunday (the day before the tournament) I went up to Culford lor some practice. It was. however, so windy that it made no sense to shoot and I drove another five miles north to the local club and made two rounds on their course instead. Monday morning and start of the tournament. When I drove into the Culford school grounds. I faced a crowd of close to six hundred archers from all over the world. Canada to New Zealand and as much as 36 from my own home country, Sweden. I had a good first day and with 541 points on the Field round, I was pleased. It was windy but most of the course was in the woods so it didn't bother us. The second day the tension started to build up. I was seeded to the top group together with Chris Jones from England. Peter Lindros from Finland and Gordon Guthrie from South Africa. We shot a Hunter round in nice weather and with 545 points I took the lead by 3 points. The third day. England lived up to its reputation. It was raining. At times the heaven opened up completely and shooting had to wait. I shot the In same group as the previous day

and made a mediocre 550 on the Animal round. I had two bounce outs to body hit. The worst thing was. however, that one of the targets was placed too short so I shot over. I was taken completely by surpnse but as I could not find anything wrong with my Pearson bow. I corrected the sight and got a body hit with my second arrow. I lost 6 points. Later I heard that the pros complained and were allowed to strike that target. When my group came came up to the next target, a deer at 60 yards. I didn't know this and I was very uncertain of what to do. Was something wrong with my equipment? Had the string or the cables started to slip? Had my ever faithful Toxonics sight finally packed it in? I decided, however, that as I could see no wrong, I had to act as if nothing had happened. I set my sight on 60 yards, took a good aim and gently let the arrow go. It may sound easy but believe me it wasn’t with all my confidence gone. I took up my binocular and looked down at the target. My Pro Select stuck dead in the center and all my confidence came back real quick. The previous target must have been measured wrong and at the end of the day I had a 1 point lead over Chris who was second in the tournament. Thursday was a Field round In windy condition, partly in the woods but also on the fields. I still shot with the same three guys and with 545 points I increased my lead to 6 points with Chris still trailing closest to me. Friday and the last day we shot a Hunter round. I started bad on the first targets but then found that my limb bolts had started unwinding.

After I had found out and corrected, I filled the next 11 targets and was back in the lead by 2 points. The last few targets of the day and of the whole World Championship were over a field in a hard and gusty wind. Anything could happen. Chris and I shot even target by target and by the end of the day I found myself winner of the tournament with 2 points in favor. I came to England with a hope to round off my previous three consecutive European

Championship wins with a World Championship and I did. but if I had lost to Chris it could not have been to a nicer guy. Once it was all over, I felt completely washed out and it was not until the next night at the banquet with all the congratulations that I finally realized that I did it... I did It. I owe the organizing committee a big thanks for a well run tournament with all the Robin Hoodish flare around it that you can only have in England.

I have been asked what I want to do next. Next I will shoot in Vegas in February and that will be a great thrill. I will also try to qualify for the Indoor and Outdoor FITA World Championships with the Swedish National Team I have one more wish however. I hope to get a chance to shoot NFAA in the United States.

CHECKPOINTS FOR WINNING ARCHERY By FREDDIE TRONCOSO ON TO THE OLYMPICS PARALLEL STANCE ADDENDUM To clarity several questions on the subject of the parallel stance. I make /'""s reference to the illustration ( S numbered I in Roman— ==== Numerals, of my previous article in U.S ARCHER, f*~* that depicts both feet touching the 90 degree line oblique stance to the target. I would like to emphasize that this does not mean that everyone must stand exactly as shown As is true of archery, we find that most suggestions have flexible parameters that can be modified to suit the individual providing that we do not change the true essence and scope of the absolute parallel stance. Accordingly, the archer is free to place the left foot slightly behind the right and to spread his feet apart as long as we do not end up using a stance that faces the target and forces the body to 'twist' as we draw. The purpose of this repeated mention and reference is an attempt to rid ourselves of dropping the bow arm and to eliminate the 'wild' swing to the left of the bow arm that is characteristic with most American shooters THE IMPORTANCE OF CORRECT

ARROW SPINE ANPJSRQUPING Being that archery is a sport that requires exacting duplication of each and every shot, it is only natural to look into the importance of proper spined arrows and grouping for the purpose of investigating the factors that govern said grouping and scoring well. Yes. the ability Io group well and to repeatedly hit the center of the target are paramount if we have hopes of winning gold medals and walking away from the tremendous competition that will by vying lor top honors at the 1996 Archery Olympic Games in Atlanta. I would like to emphasize that grouping well is not. I repeat, is not, totally dependent on specific tuning methods or micro tuning

procedures alone. Aside from the requirement of using an arrow that is correctly spined for your bow, good grouping is more dependent on precise aiming, and machinelike execution of the shot than it is on the use of sophisticated equipment and expensive accessories. The only mandatory equipment requirement of the archer is to use a perfectly matched set of arrows that are spined for the particular weight of each given bow he desires to use. Aside from this requirement, most misses can usually be attributed to the factor of human error, inconsistencies or to poor shooting form - penod If one of your problems is grouping, check first to ascertain that the arrows you are using are not too flexible nor too stiff for the weight of your bow. It is a proven fact that the use of incorrectly spined arrows will adversely affect arrow flight and not clear the bow properly. Extremes that deviate from accepted and recommended outlines will not group well as a result of striking and slapping the bow or its components as the arrow exists and departs SECONDARY CHECKPOINTS FOR ANCHORING AND AIMING Most anyone who is familiar with pistol and rifle shooting, will attest that the use of two sighting references are belter than one and that the use of front and rear sights combined contribute to improved accuracy and higher scoring. However, we are all aware that strict FITA rules disallow and prohibit the use of those important and significant devices lor one reason or another. It is, therefore, up Io the ingenuity of the shooter to experiment and evolve with alternate methods of sighting for the purpose of developing alternate methods that accomplish the same results. By using a little insight and creativity, it is possible to align one or more bow sight components in an effort to achieve a double sighting effect that helps to aim the back end of the arrow and thus, improves accuracy.

1) In an effort to successfully accomplish our goals and thus, be able to use the sight

mounting block or lock­ down knobs as a rear sight, it is first necessary Io visually move the bowstring to the left and over into the inner edge of the sight window at full draw without applying any lorque with the bow hand. 2) By visually superimposing the bowstring into the space between the star-knob of a Beiter Klicker and the inner edge of the sight window. exacting string alignment is achieved and all outer bow sight components are now easily visible and can be readily seen at full draw. 3) Secondary aiming techniques may require pivoting and repositioning of the sight bar for the purpose of making possible the visual superimposition of one component upon another. For example, we can utilize a cad-plated or nickel front end fastener as a front sight that can be visually superimposed on the edge of the rearward sight mounting block or lock down knob tor the purpose of using them as a double aiming checkpoint for exacting head position and improved aiming and accuracy. If this works well for you use it, or simply stay with your existing

BowstringThan Ever!

We"who has tried Streamline* agrees, it’s by far better than any bowstring material they've ever used. Unfortunately, a small percentage of Streamline users have experienced premature failure for one reason or another. After extensive research and testing, improvements have been implemented in several stages of Streamline's manufacturing process. The result: better durability and uniformity, without sacrificing the “No Stretch". “No Creep" characteristics that put Streamline on the leading edge of bowstring technology in the first place. Since April I. all Streamline bowstring has been pro­ duced incorporating the process improvements and the results have been excellent. So use Stream-line with confi­ dence—you'll appreciate the difference.

'Streamline is manufactured from Vectran® Fiber, a pmluet of Hoechst Celanese Corporation.

USING THE "VIDEO" ADVANTAGE As we are all aware, the use of videos. VCR Cameras and related paraphernalia, have taken the world by a storm including archery! It is no wonder that the majority of modern day instructors readily rely on the use of these phenomenal aids that are designed for the purpose of taping and filming the performance of students and select subjects. The instructor is thus, able to repeatedly play tapes over and over for the purpose of permitting closer scrutiny and review of any chosen performance or event. By using the slow motion and fast forward features of any VCR. we are able to more readily see and recognize shooting errors that may include dropping of the bow arm, exploding upon release, and other shooting discrepancies that

NOVEMBER - DECEMBER 1994

would otherwise go by unnoticed without the feedback provided by the use of videos. If you will take a minute to review the mailing cover of your U.S. ARCHER magazine, you will find several self-help books and videos that may serve to help improve your shooting and mental problem areas. Robinhood Videos of Florida also offer a wide selection of instructional videos that feature Jay Barrs. Ed Eliason and other popular shooters of the world. Does Korea offer any instructional videos on shooting and their training methods? I haven't seen any yet, but I am interested when and if they do! THE ALL IMPORTANT CLICKER Correct Function of Form When Using a Clicker Major Key Points: Standard starting position between arrow point and clicker position, point should be about 3MM (1/8') in front of clicker at full draw. 1. First, establish correct pre-draw position and pre-draw aiming position. 2. Draw and establish the Whole Form. 3. Point should be about 3MM in front of clicker position. 4. Now continue by relaxing the physical effort and allow the drawn forces to transfer into your contracting drawing shoulders and upper body. 5. Allow the drawn forces to transfer into your shoulder and upper body until the clicker is heard, shoot. This transfer period is the same as continuing and or expanding within the held span of the drawn bow.

6. Expansion is equal between bow arm and - drawing arm. the Whole Form balanced. 7. SHOOT AND FOLLOW THROUGH.

With this form and or its function, there is little reaction during the follow through as the contracting drawing shoulder Is also a brake to the release of the drawing hand and arm. One may feel as though slammed to a stop with the release. The drawing hand did not move from the anchor position because it could not, the contracting drawing should compressed it. This form is strong unlike any other, it is a powerful strength with the gentle touch, it is agile and flexible, it is free and responsive In nature, it offers the key to absolute control. With practice and expenence consistency is acquired. You will never be the same archer again because these basics are the true fundamentals to acquiring the proper shooting skills and to experience success.

PS: Congratulations to Han Seung Hoon of Korea for his perfect 360 © 30 meters and again for his new world record FITA 1354 set at the 1st Seoul International Archery Tournament held in Korea last June. We also wish to thank Hardy Ward for his text on Clicker Shooting and instructions.

THE ASA/NRA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP CLASSIC "Goose Bumps In August" By Bill Shiver

TOP MONEY WINNERS ALLEN CONNER AND SHANNON CAUDLE

JENNINGS OneCam SHOOTERS SCORE WITH $100,00+ YEAR! Gainesville, FL - It has been quite a year for professional archers shooting the Jennings UniForce, the top-of-the-line mag handle OneCam bow from Jennings Compound Bows in Gainesville, Florida. Winning many and placing in the lop five in all major tournaments. four shooters have won much more than $100,000 in cash prizes. This is probably the most money ever won by a pro shooting team in one season! Here is a recap of the top shooters and a lew of their most significant wins. Donald Yancy of Hogansville, GA, won his first Buckmasters Top Bow Indoor World Championship on July 17th and took home the grand prize pickup truck. (In 1993, the event was won by Jackie Caudle of Gadsden, AL, who is also a Jennings pro shooter and the father of Shannon Caudle, see below.) Donald estimates his total winnings at more than $20,000 in 1994! With just one clutch arrow in Valdosta, GA, Allen Conner ol Attalla, AL. became the ASA

Men's Shooter of the Year. That single arrow in the 14-ring from more than 40- yards was worth more than $30,000. When Allen sits down to total his '94 winnings, they easily surpass $50,000! Shannon Caudle of Gadsden. AL. learned archery from his father and mother, Jackie and Kathy, all ol whom are Jennings pros. By placing first in the ASA Classic in Valdosta, August 28th, Shannon put together a $40,000+ archery year! Following her 1993 finish as ASA Female Shooter of the Year, Jennings pro shooter Susan Thompson of Douglasville. GA. became the I BO 1994 National Triple Crown champion in Nelsonville, OH. July 10th. Her cash and prize purse for the year is nearly $20,000, proving that the women take no back seat to the men in this great sport.

August in south Georgia Is always unbearably hot. During the weekend of August 26-28,1994, the thermometer pushed well into the 90's. But, even hotter than the August sun was the heated competition at The ASA/NRA World Championship Classic. The perspiration was not totally the result of the oppressive heat. There was also the "nervous sweat" of impending pressures.

Hailed as the "Super Bowl" of archery, this tournament was destined to go down in the sport's history books as the most exciting, pulse pounding, heart-rending finish ever The World Championships would decide not only Classic Winners, but also "Shooters of the Year" in each division, and the all important crowning of The Miller High Points Champion. sponsored by Miller Brewing Company. There are so many stories to be told, but as always it's best Io begin at the beginning.

1994 saw the second highly successful tournament season for The ASA/NRA Pro-Am Tour. Six qualifying events were held in Florida. Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia and Colorado. When the qualifying smoke had cleared, fifty percent of the average number ol shooters in each qualifier would automatically win a berth at The World Championship. Just to be invited would mean that a shooter is indeed among the elite of his or her sport. The World Championship boasted a total purse of well over S150.000.00 Amazing! Especially when you realize that there are ns entry fees tor The Classic. The stage was now set for what was to become the greatest 3-D archery tournament we ll be likely to witness . . . ever! Most archery tournaments are somewhat like an old-time gathering. To be sure, there's competition, but it usually takes a back seat to the fun. fellowship and camaradene And, oh yes. there was plenty of that at The World Championship. But when you draw your bow and take a bead on a target at an unknown distance, with $30,000 00 or more riding on the shot, the heartbeat quickens and the beads of perspiration flow freely. Wayne Pearson had honed his tournament scenario to perfection. Some of his ideas had been initially met with apprehension. There were those who had at first disliked the addition of the 12 ring. And later they argued against the 14 ring, which is used only on the final five target Pro Excitement Round. In spite of this. Wayne stuck to his guns, and it became apparent after three hot days in August that he was more of a prophet than most had believed. Wayne had predicted that the Miller High Points Championship would come down to one arrow, and that the 14 ring would make the difference. He later said. "If I had written the scnpt for this tournament, it couldn't have turned out any better. Anyone who was there, and didn't get goose bumps must have been asleep." The archers began drifting into Valdosta, Georgia, on Wednesday, August 24th. The tournament had originally been scheduled for Albany, Georgia, but the tragic flooding, caused CONTINUED ON PAGE 3M

Grand Bay Wildlife Management Area had been the scene for some very exciting tournaments in the past, but no one was prepared for what lay ahead. Miller Brewing Company was the official host for lhe tournament. It was Miller's involvement which brought about The Miller High Points Championship, just another brush stroke on Wayne Pearson's canvas. On Thursday. sponsors began lining the entrance lo the site with banners. Tents lor exhibitors were set in place, and the food vendors rolled in. To be sure. there was an air of expectation On Thursday afternoon. The Pro-Am Benefit Shoot brought about 200 archers together lor the fun-filled shoot that is traditionally held on the day prior to the start of each tournament. Part of the S25 entry fees were paid back lo winners and the balance went to The Save Our Heritage Fund. Friday morning found hundreds of shooters taking advantage of the 3-D and known distance practice ranges. Some last minute tuning up was in order, and it also served to settle some nerves After a brief meeting, where Wayne welcomed the shooters, the first round of competition began at high noon. Only the Pros (unlimited men. ladies and limited pros) would shoot on Friday. The schedule was such that Pros would shoot Friday at noon and Saturday at 8 AM. Amateur classes would shoot Saturday at noon and Sunday morning The remainder of Sunday was set aside for the Pro Shootouts. Sunday morning found the top twenty Men s Pros, the top nine Women's Pros and the top nine Limited Pros shooting special targets on a range set up for that purpose. After five targets a cut was made. Another five targets were shot, and another cut was made. At that point, there were five Men'sPros, three Women's Pros and three Limited Pros remaining. The Men'sPros were David Stepp, Shannon Caudle, James Larry Weir, Mike Nichols and Scott Schultz. Remaining Women's Pros were Joella Bates. Sue Ray and Sharon Hayes. In

the Limited Pro class, only Dougo Wenzel, Dennis Shrewsbury and William Pellegrino. Those to compete head lo head tor The Miller High Points Championship would be Allen Conner. James Larry Weir, David Stepp and Randy Ulmer. Many thousands of dollars were at stake, not to mention a world of prestige, honors and endorsements The tension was at an ultimate level. The faces of lhe competitors clearly revealed their determination. They would now assemble in front of bleachers to compete not only before a large crowd of spectators, but would face the scrutinizing focus of ESPN cameras It was undoubtedly the most intense pressure ever placed on 3-D archers. It reminded one of visions of ancient Roman Gladiators, marching bravely into the Coliseum. preparing themselves to face the lions. Only, in this case, the lions would be Ethatoam McKenzie targets bearing two tiny scoring rings The challenges were obvious. To control the nerves. clear the eyes and steady the aim Now let the games begin. In the race for The Miller High Points Championship. Allen Conner held a slim 1 point lead (2954 to 2953) over James Larry Weir David Stepp and Randy Ulmer followed with 2946 and 2941, respectively David Stepp (526) was clearly atop the Men's Pro division, leading Shannon Caudle (519) by 7 points.

Kim Zehr was Women's Pro Shooter of lhe Year. The Men's Pro battle was shaping up. with only a dozen points separating the five competitors. David Stepp had the lead over Shannon Caudle, which some thought would be insurmountable. However, Shannon had the supreme form of motivation. Only a week prior lo the tournament, Shannon's grandfather passed away. The entire Caudle family. Jackie, Kathy and Shannon grieved. They each placed a picture of the departed loved one on the inner part of the upper limb on their bows. Each time they drew the bow, they were reminded not only of loss, but of deep and abiding love. Shannon's desire was to win this one for his grandfather, and his grim countenance and unswerving determination was evident to all. On the first three targets, David Stepp and Shannon Caudle matched each other with shots to the 10 ring. On the fourth target. Stepp scored a disappointing 8. while Shannon countered with CONTINUED ON PAGE 387

The Mens Pro Classic Championship was now Shannon Caudle's to win or lose Needing a 14 to win, Shannon stepped quietly to the stake. He deftly drew his Bear/Jennings UniForce bow, looked for a moment at the picture of his grandad, and settled in on the target. An Air Force F-16. flying a training mission overhead, temporanly distracted his attention. He let down for a moment, then regained his composure and drew once again. His arrow, perhaps guided as much by providence as by skill, swiftly slammed squarely into the 14 ring. Then, it happened. A cheer unlike any other ever heard at an archery tournament exploded throughout Grand Bay. It started from the packed bleachers and literally shook the nearby pines and hardwoods Jackie and Kathy rushed from the sidelines to embrace their son. They were quickly followed by dozens of others, offering their congratulations amid tears of joy. For a few moments, the rigors and stresses of competition were set aside, as veterans of the game swarmed to applaud and pay tribute to one of their own. Although he would lose the Men’s Pro Classic Crown to Shannon by 1 point, David Stepp exhibited the highest form of professionalism and sportsmanship by being among the first Io congratulate the winner.

Flatwoods. WV - "Best Ever" was the quote the 3526 registrants used to describe the 1994 IBO World Championships held at Flatwoods. WV, August 12-14, 1994. Many said that their small local shoots don't run as smoothly as this, the "Granddaddy" of 3-D bowhunter shoots. Ken Watkins. President of the IBO said, "The thousands of compliments given this championship were most deserving. From the start, this outstanding event ran like a fine tuned watch. Ed Hamerick, Tournament Director, and the Mid-State archers' dedication for eighteen months and over two thousand hours of planning were evident in the results." Watkins also related that during the actual operation of the Championship, a staff of 232 pul in an additional 5056 man hours to make sure the results were achieved. Even Mother Nature made her contribution to the Championship's success by having rainless weather except for the last few hours. Since these hours were the ones when the $2,000 Brunton Pro Shoot Out was held, as well as shoot-offs for all tie breakers. The rain really intensified the excitement. Over 1,000 acres of land were used to set up the sixteen 20-target courses needed for the championship. Four hundred seventy three McKenzie Natra-Look Targets were used as the official targets. The state of West Virginia and the city of Flatwoods wanted the championship to be a success and they helped make it happen. All in altendance noticed and appreciated these efforts.

The ISO's commitment to promoting, protecting and preserving bowhunting were evident by the awards made at the championship: Cash Awards were 682,745.00 College Scholarship Awards were S72.000.00 Cash awards went to all winning contestants except amateurs. This added real excitement to the top five finalists in each class when they met Sunday to determine the winners in a final shootoff event. The biggest winners of Sunday's shoot-off however, were the top CUB and YOUTH contestants who vied for a share of the 672,000.00 in Hocking College Scholarships awarded to them. Awarding these college scholarships clearly evidences the IBO's commitment to bowhunting and bowhunlers ... not only for today but also for tomorrow The IBO International Bowhunting Organization is a nonprofit organization founded ten years ago.

IBO CROWNS WORLD CHAMPIONS! The IBO World Championships has de­ veloped into the single largest outdoor archery tournament in the world and is the culmination of an entire season of ngorous 3-D competition. The 1994 version took place on August 12-14 at Flatwoods. WV. where over 4,000 archers com­ peted on 16 different. 20 target 3-D ranges. Throughout the 3-D season and into the final BOBBY KETCHER (MEN'S PRO WORLD CHAMPION. SHERRY CARTWRIGHT World Championship (WOMEN’S PRO WORLO CHAMPION. JOELLA BATES (WOMEN’S PRO 3RD PLACE). ANO WAYNE RISNER (MEN S PRO 2ND PLACE) weekend, the most widely followed races were in the high profile Men's and Women s Pro Divisions. At Flatwoods, the Womens' Pro Division winner and new World Champion was Sherry Cartwright of Burneyville, OK. Sherry is a Hoyt USA Pro Staff Shooter. Emerging as the new Men's Pro IBO World Champion was Bobby Ketcher of Wilburton, OK. Bobby is also a Hoyt USA Pro Staff member. "3-D has placed a lot on arrow speed," commented Ketcher after his win. "But the real secret is accuracy At the World Championship my Hoyt SuperStar set at 28 inches and 57 pounds was shooting 274 FPS. Heck, on Sunday, I shot with a guy that was 48 FPS faster than me! But, my bow was super-accurate and right on the money. Speed's fun. but accuracy wins. Actually. I don't know why all 3-D organizations don't enact a 280 FPS maximum regulation. It levels the playing field, it's safer and it's more in tune with top end hunting equipment performance. I'd hate to see 3-D get too tar away from the idea of realistic bowhunting practice. After all. that was the original concept that helped the sport grow. We get too far from that and our numbers will go down " Contact Hoyt USA. 475 N. Neil Armstrong Rd.. Dept. USA, Salt Lake City.

RANDALL HUFFMAN DRIVING FACE'S POLARIS QUAD RUNNER WITH CO-PILOT DARRELL PACE IN REAR

The Northern Regional Field Championships were held August 13-14. 1994 al the Randall and Betty Huffman Farm at La Rue. Ohio. This event was sponsored by the Columbus FITA club and the Huffmans. The course was mowed and in excellent condition. There were nine practice targets available on Friday, and on Saturday and Sunday morning. There were two mats for each size target face. One had the distance marked while the other was staked out with maximum and minimum distances for each bow type Also available was a buttress with all target sizes and distances marked in 5 meter increments up to 60 meters. Archers started arriving at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday morning. There was a threat ol rain in the northern sky. As the 10:30 starling time approached, the rain also started with the archers walking to the assigned targets. Rain outfits and umbrellas became a necessary part of the equipment. As the first twelve targets were completed, the rain stopped and lunch was served back in the 4O'x6O' barn near the house. The lunch was a special occasion as it became a surprise party for Manning Baumgardner on his 50th birthday. A large computer banner heralding Manning was hung. JOAD archers, parents and friends gave Manning a cake, and a fold-up canvas chair with attached sun umbrella. Earl Gamerdinger made a special wooden carving for him. Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday the weather was ideal lor an enjoyable field course tournament. Scores were turned in and while the computer results were being printed, the archers reloaded the Ohio State Trailer with mats for the Ohio state Tournament coming Labor day weekend. The results were handed out with the scorecards and awards. Eighteen archers competed in the recurve. compound and bare bow divisions. In the recurve adult male division, the winner was two-time Olympic Champion, Darrell Pace from Hamilton. Ohio, with a score of 643. In second place was Larry Michaels of Canal Winchester, Ohio.

1994 ALOHA STATE GAMES From JANE JOHNSON

ARCHERY COMMISSIONER LARRY PAGLINAWAN DIRECTS VOLUNTEERS IN PLACING A KEVLAR BACKSTOP BEHIND A BEAR

ARCHERY COMMISSIONER LARRY PAGLINAWAN IN WHITE CAP SPOTS ARROWS FOR A VISUALLYIMPAIRED ARCHER AT THE 1994 ALOHA STATE GAMES.

Two curious mongooses darted from the sheltering stand of cane bordering the Honolulu Salt Lake recreational park to take a closer look at the volunteers who were converting "their" baseball diamond into an archery field for the 1994 Aloha State Games. The volunteers, officials and archers who would be participants in the two-day annual event, assembled a pair of large tent-like pavilion shelters and then fitted together target mats and stands to accommodate archers from throughout the islands ol the 50th stale, who, joined by a merchant marine sailor from Alaska, would converge the next day on Oahu. After readying the target field, volunteers began unloading 40 three-dimensional animal targets for distribution about the ball field at various distances for a 3-D event. They also unpacked an assortment of inclined planes, stair steps, ramps and platforms, all built for the event to simulate uneven field footing on the smooth-graded, ball field surface. Adding a unique Hawaiian touch, volunteers also created a jungle on the ballfield, bringing in 200 Oahu-grown potted fan palms, travelers palms, fishtail ferns, rubber trees and other tropical plants to be arrayed among the 3-D bears, deer, wild board and other game targets. Most of the animals also can be found in the forests of the home islands of the archers.

Some like the 3-D wild-west coyote stalking a 3-D wild turkey, appeared to be a little far from home But a crouching 3-D mountain lion excited the most admiration. Poised ready to spring from its cliff-top lair, actually a tier of empty crates artfully concealed with camouflage burlap against a backstop ol mylar mesh, the 3-D catamount target was surrounded with tropical ficus, papyrus and a nine-foot potted bamboo tree. The effect was tigensh. Archery Commissioner Larry Paglinawan said the addition of the 3-D shoot created new excitement for the Aloha State Games archery conlest which drew 93 shooters.

Granite Quarry. NC - McKenzie Supply, Inc., officials are betting that a newly designed 3-D mule deer target the company has recently placed in retail outlets will dramatically appeal to bowhunlers and field archers haunted by the Western outdoor mystique. The product is already being highly sought by numerous archery clubs who want to further diversify their collection of 3-D practice targets. McKenzie Product Development Manager Mike Ingold feels the new mule deer is "a spectacular addition" to his company's line of Natra-Look target products. "Put it up against any other 3-D mule deer target on the market today," said Ingold. * and I guarantee you that our mulie will come off as the one a consumer will want to purchase. People sometimes forget that McKenzie Supply is. in addilion to being a target manufacturer, a top national supplier of taxidermy materials. Our 20-plus years of taxidermy expenence is translated into our 3-D targets. They are all consequently anatomically correct, but this mule deer depicts something more. Call it its overall dynamic appeal, perhaps, that captures the bowhunter's image of lhe West." Ingold feels that every autumn thoughts of the West and the Rockies inevitably cross bowhunters' minds. "If you haven't bowhunled the West you have very likely thought about hunting it," said Ingold, "and if you have hunted it your thoughts drift back to it. Yellow cottonwoods and early-season high country snow do something to you. and the portrait you have for it in your mind somehow always includes a big mule deer. That's just what this new target is. The most authentic reproduction of a big mule deer you are ever going to find in a 3-D target." McKenzie's new 3-D mule deer, composed of highly durable polyurethane foam, features a

three-piece, interlocking design with replaceable midsection and custom-crafted antlers. McKenzie Supply, Inc. located in Granite Quarry, North Carolina, is the world's largest manufacturer ol 3-D archery targets. It is the official 3-D target choice of the International Bowhunting Organization, the National Field Archery Association and the Archery Shooters Association For information contact McKenzie Supply.

Scope Tips By Clyde Hartsell What is the Best Power Scope for 3-D Shooting? Allen Conner, ASA Shooter of the Year, 1994's Top Money Winner: "I find that the best power for 3-D shooting Is a 3X lens. In my experimenting with different powers If I knew all targets were 40 yards or more I would shoot a 4X lens. The 4X magnification Is too much on short targets and I lose perspective of the target. However, If all targets were 30 yards or under I would shoot a 2X lens. In using a 2X at long yardages I cannot see the ASA 12 ring so it has been my finding that the best compromise Is the 3X lens." Randy Hendrix, 1994 Buckmaster Champion, Bear/)ennings Pro: "In shoodng a scope I have found one of the most Important things for me is the visual Image. This entails how much magnification the lens has and how the Image fits Into the lens I am shoodng. The most popular target Is the medium McKenzie deer. This particular target fills the scope side to side top to bottom at approximately 32 yards. This reference point helps confirm the yardage calling system that I use. I find the best power to achieve the visual Image I look for Is the 3X." Bobby Ketchner, IBO 1994 World Champion: "In shoodng a scope In 3-D compedtlon the main thing I am looking for Is to enhance and sharpen the target image to allow me to see more detail. I am fortunate to have great eyesight that allows me, through the use of my scope, to pick up the detail that I need to zero In on the 10 rings for IBO competition. In my opinion, a 3X power allows me to get the definidon of clarity In targets that I need."

We are not on the newsstands. Our success has been by word-ofmouth from bowhunters who like our no-nonsense reporting of stories, special reports, new products and bowhunting hot spots!!

THE U. S. ARCHER

For Nocking Accuracy For more than 10 years Bjorn-Nocks have been the standard of excellency. Olympic Gold Medals, World Champion­ ships and National Titles have been won by Archers trusting their arrows with Bjorn-Nocks. In 46 countries around the world. When the Bjbrn-Nock was introduced, it brought a new concept into modern Archery. The new design with the widened and smoothly rounded shanks + the snap-on feature, all combined with a new moulding technique, produced a nock with qual­ ities never found before in Tournament Archery.

And Bjorn-Nocks are the most pre­ cise snap-on nocks produced!

Concentricity and tolerance of the string groove, for example, are kept within ± 0.05 mm. And this is very, very close... So, we happily produce the world's finest nocks for you... For Y o u - Quality Conscious Archer!
