1993-THE YEAR FOR CHANGE AND PROGRESS By DIANA CARR EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
The year is new and 1992 is fresh in our memories 1993 promises changes and hope of improvement The year 1992 brought the change of the rules governing amateur status in the National Archery Association (NAA) This brought the "amateurs" out and into the spotlight of professional tournaments Denise Parker won Las Vegas in the Professional Archers Association Ladies' Limited Division. NAA USAT members Jay Barrs and Rick McKinney also joined the PAA and shot Las Vegas Professional archer Richard "Butch" Johnson crossed the line in the other direction by competing for and making the 1992 Olympic Team FITA changed the rules governing compound bows which led to the first Unlimited US Archery Team in 1992 Those archers on the Unlimited USAT were Patti Curtis. Glenda Doran, Sandy Gottlieb. Inga Low. Judi Smith. Kevin Eldridge. Kirk Ethridge. Mark Johnson, Rusty Mills, and Dee Wilde The Barcelona Olympics saw Sebastien Flute and Youn-Jeong Cho victorious The United States worked harder than ever before but just could not medal (Denise Parker and Jay Barrs both took fifth) It is time to begin the trek of training and problem solving in an effort to improve in the 1996 Olympics Many suggestions have been presented to the NAA Board of Governors and all are being given
consideration It is a difficult task to perform. but not impossible Several of the tournaments being held this year will feature a New Olympic Round (NOR), if not as part of the tournament it will be held at the conclusion of the tournament for those wishing to participate Perhaps this can belter prepare our shooters for the pressure of the NOR This year also brings a change for THE U S ARCHER Following an agreement with the NAA. all NAA and FITA news will be submitted through the NAA Office This venture can be extremely beneficial for both THE U.S ARCHER and the NAA Be patient with the change and let the NAA know what you would like to see Write the NAA at One Olympic Plaza. Colorado Spnngs, CO 80909 USA Phone (719)5784576, Fax (719)632-4733 We sincerely hope that you will give us your opinions and submit your information so that this venture can benefit the membership to the utmost Finally. 1 must conclude by wishing all of you a very happy and successful New Year May 1993 bring you the blessings you deserve and provide you with opportunities to grow I am looking forward to more friendships, lots of love (possibly a wedding1) and lots of great tournaments'. Hope to see you around in 1993'

1993 DESERT SHOOTOUT May 7-9, 1993 By PETE SHEPLEY As promised in last month’s editorial, this month I will outline and explain some of the new ideas we will be Introducing at the NEW three day '93 Pete Shepley Desert Shootout In order to make the archery experience one which can be enjoyed by all classes of shooters as well as spectators, we will be using an entirely new round, or rather, three rounds, one each to be shot on Friday, Saturday

and Sunday. All shooters, regardless of style and sex. will be competing for a Grand Prize to be awarded to the high money winner. Whatever a shooter's skill level, he or she will compete against archers of that same level. All levels of shooters will be shooting for equal amounts of prize money, however the number of places paid will be dictated by the number of entrants in that handicap category The key to this new tournament form is a handicap system which will class or rank shooters by skill and score capabilities There will be no differentiation between male, female or equipment - score will be the determining factor. A ranking system of 1-10 will be used and shooters will be given a number ranking (eg : A shooter who normally shoots a 470 field round may rank as a "6"). His rank will remain a "61" until he improves to move out of that rank or changes equipment style. Methods of determining rank will be outlined in the official rules of the tournament We expect to have a major prize money payback at this tournament (eg,: If 500 entrants register in the events of the three days prize money in excess of $125.000 will be generated) Fifty percent of the shooters who register can expect to take home prize money. Prize money will be awarded by rank grouping in the first round on Friday "Individual Accuracy" (un-timed). Saturday prize money will be awarded in four categories of grouping classifications. Saturday will be the "Team Accuracy" round (un-timed). Two shooters with handicaps equal to or less than 6. 8. 10, 12 or open can enter three times In any of these rounds, (eg.: if I am a "6" and you are a "4" we could enter the "10” round. I would have to find another "6" shooter or less to enter lhe "12" round. A shooter class "9" would have to find a "1" to shoot in the "10“ round, a "9" shooter would not be able to compete In the "6” or "8" round ) Shooters will have multiple chances to win money on Saturday if they choose to enter every time allowed We expect entry fees to be about S25 00 per shooter per entry on any of the three days. Sunday will host the NEW "Team Shootout". Again, teams will have to be made up of rank totals being equal to or less than 6. 8, 10. 12 and open and you may enter any of these three times. Many opportunities to win money again. Now that I've briefly explained the rounds. let me explain the target system used for the tournament There will be two sets of five targets each from 40 to 70 yards in 5 yard increments. Scoring will be HIT/MISS and white balloons will be used to add excitement and facilitate scoring. Friday's "Individual Accuracy" round will be an UN-TIMED event with like ranking handicaps shooting against one another Each archer will shoot one arrow at each distance. Shooting will move quickly, arrows will be pulled by tournament personnel and returned to the shooting line at regular intervals. The field will be narrowed as shooting progresses and additional rounds shot until a final champion is crowned for that rank grouping. Saturday's round will be shot much in the same manner except it will be team competition
based on two-person teams made of aggregate ranking members as explained before Again this will be a NON-TIMED event. ACCURACY IS THE KEY. Sunday's round will be a little spicier Just to make things interesting, total elapsed time will be a factor in the team's score The archers will still shoot at the same size balloons but the faster they can accurately shoot, the better their score I'll remind you here that this part of the tournament is still dependent on accuracy it won't matter how fast you are if you don't hit the mark Again Sunday's round will be made of teams made of rank totals 6. 8, 10. 12 and open, mixed and draw pot You may enter as many as three times in each of these rounds All of this may take some getting used to, and you may have to change the way you think about competitive archery, but I really believe that everyone will go away from this tournament excited about archery and for the first time competing for some real prize money If you are an average shooter, there's a good chance you'll go home with money in your pocket. Our goal is to make every archer competitive in a manner fair and equitable to all shooters at all levels, to make this NEW FORMAT DESERT SHOOTOUT a spectator event and one of the largest money shoots in the world I look forward to seeing you at archery's newest competitive money event this May and remember, you'll be competing against archers of your own skill level for real prize money. Hope to see you all in Tucson’
Pete k LIST OF THINGS TO PRACTICE AND PREPARE FOR BEFORE YOU COME TO THE 1993 PETE SHEPLEY DESERT SHOOTOUT: 1) Consistent accuracy between 40 and 70 yards 2) Execute your shots in a quick, efficient manner 3) Remember it gets windy here in Tucson. practice wind-shooting techniques 4) Use a sight which is easy to adjust and an aperture or pin which is easy to aim over a white bullseye on a black field 5) Prepare enough arrows (about 24) so that you never run out during the multiple rounds You can expect to shoot more arrows al this tournament than you would at a normal field tournament. 6) Plan on spending a minimum of $150 00 entry fees for the three days of shooting. but you can enter more rounds totaling upwards of $200.00 in additional entry fees each day Each event will pay back immediate prize money so your winnings can be used to enter subsequent events 7) Bring Sun Screen at least SPF #10 8) Get ready to have fun and win money shooting your bow. ’

MORE OLYMPIC COMMENTARY AND FORM ANALYSIS By FREDDIE TRONCOSO Before addressing the topic of this article. I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank and congratulate each and every member of the Olympic Team for their efforts and placements at the Barcelona Olympic Games While it is evident that our archers gave the Olympics their absolute best efforts, it is also equally recognized that other countries have indeed taken the lead and hold us in a state of "advantage" similar to tennis - and this means to their advantage, obviouslyl Can this state of being, be attributed to the fact that their equipment is superior to ours? Are their archers in better physical condition than ours? Or is it true that they are outshooting and bettering our performance due to superior Form and secret techniques? While there may be many differences of opinion regarding answers to these and other questions. one fact continues to stare us in the face they are outshooting us and we best remedy this situation by taking the necessary remedial steps to turn this around, whatever it takes to accomplish this goal! A general poll of attendees at the Barcelona games reveals that popular consensus and opinion approves the New Olympic Round format recognizing this to be one of the most exciting changes that has ever occurred to Olympic style archery or archery in general. Beyond a doubt, the inclusion of the one on one competition does indeed provide and introduce a new realm of excitement never before experienced by any segment of archery. When viewing a NOR event, spectators can visually keep track of arrow per arrow standings and thus are able to follow the action and do this with ailing eyes - without the help of binoculars or spotting scopes. If the NOR concept does not succeed in keeping archery in the Olympic Games, nothing will The NOR concept is action archery with spectator appeal built right into this approach NOR action is pure excitement. NOR competition is challenging and is sometimes known to produce surprise winners and endings. While it is obvious that some of the Olympic competitors may not fully appreciate the new format in its entirety, most will agree that the NOR format is the only logical and remaining hope for keeping archery in the Olympics.
6
Unknown to these archers, the new challenging format provides archers, who make the elimination cut. a "second chance" - a chance to emerge victorious providing they can stand the emotional heat and pressure of "head to head" competition. In continuance, it is believed that one of the reasons that our archers do not put forth more training efforts can be attributed to the lack of motivation and missing incentives lacking for our participants. As has been previously sated, archers and team members from other countries have a distinct motivational advantage over our shooters. Yes, it is said that several foreign archery federations are government funded and provide the best archery coaches money can buy. Add to this the homes. automobiles, annuities and retirement incomes for life and we find that their shooting programs are far more attractive than those offered by the United States of America. In addition to the above mentioned rewards. the fortunate countries make absolutely certain that they employ absolute and strict methods for selecting their respective archers. In this manner, they are assured that their ultimate selection will provide only the very best shooters to represent their countries to vie for the Gold Contrasting practice procedures find our U.S. archers preparing for major events and trials in haste. As a rule, they usually start practicing a few short months in advance. They say, "Why should we practice, we are supposed to be the superior archery talent of the world So why practice?" Deep down inside. our archers know and realize where they stand. but continue to think about training a mere two or three months prior to major events. Comparatively speaking, the winning countries make sure to practice their hearts out year in and out and start intense training the moment they set foot on their homelands These archers are serious and their intent is to win or go down tying! Another sad realization that stares us in the face is the fact that there is no "true spirit" for team unity in the United States. Perhaps it would help our team members to make an effort to shoot with one another, help and encourage each other and do this with unselfish dedication and sincerity, regardless of whom
you help or who outshoots whom Then there are those who feel they do not need any practice, help or coaching These are the same individuals who proceed to dictate that they will do and what they will not do Truly, another regretful sign of the times I sincerely believe it is of utmost importance to make it mandatory for all U.S. Archery Team members to attend each and every USAT Training session held by the NAA If they feel they are above any help, they should still be there to help other team members and to assist the appointed Olympic coaches to improve the performance level of all U.S. archers concerned FORM AND FOLLOW THROUGH It goes without saying, that the Koreans place great emphasis on classic Form and follow-through better than any archers that have existed since the days of Russ Hoogerhyde Jean Lee. Ann Corby (Hoyt) and other great archers of past If we expect to catch up to the performance level of the Koreans, we will have to take some remedial steps to improve our shooting Form and do this ASAP! In continuation of our theme, it is recognized that the effort to hold the bow at full draw is tiring and taxing. So, it is only natural for the archer to completely relax when the arrow is released and the strain of holding is relieved If you shoot utilizing an exaggerated open stance, the human body is inevitably "twisted" and thereby wound up like a coiled spring during the drawing process Archers using the exaggerated open stance will invariably permit the bow arm to drop and swing wildly to the left at the moment of release Unfortunately, this occurs before the arrow has cleared the arrow rest, which adversely affects the point of impact Unless the arrow has reached the state of absolute free flight any movement of the bow arm at the moment of release, will influence and change the point of impact of the arrow however slight AIMING AND FOLLOW-THROUGH The majority of archers have heard about the importance of aiming and following-through and realize that these two elements are absolutely necessary in an effort to achieve optimum accuracy and record scores Follow through Is nothing more than keeping the bow aimed at the target until the arrow hits

JO AD JAZZ By ANN CLARK It is with sad regret that I say good-bye to the JOAD JAZZ column. When I began this issue, my mind was already racing to the next youngsters I would feature in the column. This was not to be. I hope all the efforts that were put into your biographies will not go to waste I will forward them to the NAA office and they will direct
them to whoever will feature the not yet champions, those that are coming up and all who have already been crowned I'll see many of you on the line and in Las Vegas I have enjoyed writing this column these past ten years. I would like to have you read my letter to the editors regarding our youth and how this

the target. Nobody shoots better Form nor places greater emphasis in the act of aiming and follow-through than the Korean archers! You do not see any of them shooting using an open "Power Stance" other than one of their male archers who appears to be using an open stance but, in reality, isn't An archer may spread his legs apart to achieve balance as long as lhe feet are positioned parallel to the shooting line. In this manner, there is no twisting of the torso and hence no violent swinging of the bow arm upon release As a rule, most archers at full draw, are trying Io hold on the center of the target Those who hit consistently make an extra effort and manage to keep their bows aimed at the center until their arrows hit The other remaining archers, including those that use the exaggerated open stance, "explode" upon release, drop their bow arm and swing them simultaneously to the left This phenomenon
is due to the "coiled spring" condition described previously A valid comparison exists when shooting a rifle A person shooting off-hand or free hand cannot. I repeat, cannot compete against a person shooting using the "bench rest" position. The bench rest application sometimes goes to the extremes of placing the rifle into a vise to reduce motion and improve accuracy. In archery, the less motion while aiming, coupled with proper shooting Form will produce higher scores as long as the archer tries to perform as machine-like as humanly possible Accordingly, he must make sure to aim and follow-through with a minimum of bow arm/ release hand movements upon release or miss because of this oversight and lack of proper shooting Form Make sure to practice and improve your shooting Form "THE KEY TO BETTER ARCHERY AND HIGHER SCORES"!
SOME WORDS TO THE WISE: MAKE SURE TO ALLOW SUFFICIENT PERIODS OF TIME WHEN TRYING NEW FORM TECHNIQUES OR APPLICATIONS.

column came to be (Editorial from SeptemberOctober 1982):
Dear US ARCHER, I do hope that your fine magazine will be able to give space in each issue to our kids Some recognition to let them know that we do care about them and all the work they put into shooting The many activities they give up in order to pursue tournaments and become our future champions on the adult line These kids are every bit as dedicated, feel every ounce of pressure, endure every hardship, and the same shooting conditions as the adults (and sometimes worse) For this dedication they get little in return. This child who shoots his heart out the duration of a tournament. places second and does not even receive a piece of paper saying so. is a heartbreaking scene to witness What Is even worse is for that child to win the tournament and not receive a trophy or medal because he is the only one who showed up to shoot in his division What is to keep these kids coming back to become our future adult champions if they ere not recognized today. Not only is the child terribly disappointec but think of the parents who have given so much of their time to furnish the child with thr. best equipment, gone to endless expense fo traveling to tournaments, and continue to try to encourage the child to "hang in there" Fo what? Other sports offer the kids a whole Ic more. Why can't we at least give then recognition. I'm tired of hearing who care: about the cadet scores? Dam it, they do1 Am a lot of other people too. And so would othe kids who don't shoot now. but certainly wouK if they could read more about the opportunitie archery has to offer them Could we have a JOAD of the month column Remember the old TAM Magazine's Beat The High Score (The Archery Magazine) The scon and by whom? I recall that being the first thing I looked for when the magazine came I wanted to know what my competition was shooting! We'll all appreciate anything you feel you can do for the kids. ANN CLARK With these words I say thanks THE US ARCHER Magazine for helping to publicize our youth and the JOAD Program when no one else would. I am pleased I shared in a small part of it. God keep you all and keep your thoughts and arrows true May you always find yourself in the sun and a smile on your face Good Shooting1 Ann Clark

NATIONAL OFFICE NEWS Chris McCartney, Executive Director Changes are ever present these days and it's a challenge keeping up with them! Here's information about some recent ones A new partnership has been formed between the NAA and Arlyne Rhode to merge the NAA Newsletter with THE U S ARCHER Starting with this issue, approximately sixteen consecutive pages of each publication of THE U S ARCHER magazine will be devoted to NAA and FITA news and information. It is felt that the merger will be beneficial to the membership since it will allow for NAA news to be circulated more often and to a wider audience. Duplication of information will be avoided and the newsletter printing and postage expenses will be trimmed. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Arlyne for agreeing to this venture and for her cooperation. In so doing, internal changes were discussed, new policies established and a 'new look' for the NAA Newsletter portion was resolved.
Special thanks is also extended to Easton, the NAA's sponsor for the Newsletter, for supporting this new project and assisting with the newsletter design We hope the expansion of the NAA's official publication will be a beneficial change. You can be sure we will at, continue to work to this end On the matter of the proposed amendment changes to the NAA CONSTITUTION AND BYLAWS submitted to the membership for consideration in November, a special meeting was conducted on Decembers, 1992 in Colorado Springs to confirm the proxy ballots returned. Thanks to an overwhelming positive return, the changes have been approved and are effective immediately Of those who chose to respond. ninety-seven percent were marked FOR the amendments On behalf of the NAA Board of Governors, again thanks to everyone for this support *
JOAD UPDATE
Anyone interested in starting a JOAD program should call or write the NAA office for the program booklet. After becoming a member, further assistance is available from the JOAD Committee's regional directors. Coach certification opportunities are also available through the NAA. Easton Sports Development Foundation and The Indiana Archery Center (TIAC). JOAD clubs who have been members of the NAA for two years are also eligible for the NAA Foundation grant program Since this program began seven years ago, approximately $200,000 has been distnbuted to JOAD clubs from the Foundation to purchase equipment such as bows and arrows. This has been most beneficial to their club promotional activities JOAD archers have a lot of fun in the program. Shooters can earn patches, pins and certificates in the classification program, and competitions are available at all levels National indoor and outdoor events are held each year, and summer JOAD camps are conducted at the U.S. Olympic Training Centers in Colorado Springs and Lake Placid. We hope JOAD clubs will continue to forward club news, photos and newspaper articles to the national office We want to feature your activities In all upcoming issues of the NAA Newsletter ’
In March of this year, JOAD club memberships hit the 200 mark This seemed to be an extraordinary achievement since the JOAD club number held at about 185 for many years. By August, 215 JOAD clubs were registered and as of December the number reached 225. The number of lost JOAD clubs has decreased dramatically this year as well. Individual NAA youth memberships have reached an all time high of 685. Approximately another 200 youngsters are registered on family memberships. JOAD clubs leaders are asked to submit their club membership rosters to the NAA each year. Youngsters are not required to be NAA members to be in the JOAD program, and it has been reported that at least 4000 shooters are participating at club level This does not include camp club figures. Currently 37 NAA camp dubs run thousands of kids through their JOAD archery programs each year The NAA is fortunate to have an army of volunteers working on behalf of the JOAD program, assisting in every possible way to promote the sport and training the kids to shoot The wonderful growth we are experiencing now can be attributed to everyone who has taken the time to become involved, and we value and appreciate this dedication and commitment to NAA youth archery.

JR. ELITE AND USAT TRAINING CAMP
BACK ROW: MIKE KING, BOB GREEN, DON CAMPBELL, TIM STRICKLAND FRONT: LLOYD BROWN, DICK CARELLA, KATHRYN TOBER, BOB GRAHAM
A week away from school proved to be a week of hard work for the Junior Elite USAT, which had its annual training camp Nov. 27Dec 4 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. Colorado The young archers followed a demanding schedule that began at 8 a m. and usually lasted beyond 8 p m In addition to regular practice sessions, the days also featured mental training and physical conditioning Several USAT and Elite Team members arrived on Nov. 30 for the USAT training camp, which lasted until Dec. 6. A new rule allowed Elite Team members, those who shot a 1200 FITA during the qualifying period and passed the 12-minute test, to replace USAT members who opted not to attend training camp. The arrangement was a success and will be implemented again next year The camps were held jointly and featured some of the top coaches in the country. Special technician Richard Carella also attended and worked with the archers using his FORMASTER and new COACHMASTER training devices. He also held a session on the uses of spin wings ’This week has gotten me more motivated and has helped my mental game, too,’ said Jr. Elite USAT member Rachalle Kushner. ’It's helpful to have different coaches you can talk to if you have a question. You can always learn more.’ One of the more interesting ideas introduced during the week was the Mentor Program,
n as possible
organized by National Coach Administrator Nancy Myrick. In the Mentor Program, each Jr. Elite Team member is assigned to a USAT member, who serves as that archer’s personal training advisor. Through the use of training logs, which are kept by the junior and mailed monthly to the mentor, the progress of each Jr Elite member is constantly monitored. “This program has a lot of potential," said USAT member Judi Adams, who serves as mentor to Jr Elite member Faun Baumgardner. ’When these kids practice at home, usually they are the only ones around. There is nobody there to push them. This gives them more motivation and someone to keep them going.’ USAT members attending the camp were Adams. Sherry Block, Judy Devoll, Janet Dykman, Ed Eliason, Jennifer O'Donnell, Carolina Pria, Allen Rasor Jr. and Kelley Shand Elite Team members present were Teri Chang of Northridge. CA, Judy Glaser of North Lauderdale, FL, and Rebecca Post of Sioux City. IA. The coaches who attended the camp gave daily lectures at team meetings in addition to advice at training sessions. They were Lloyd Brown of Van Nuys, CA, Don Campbell of Dadeville, AL., Michel King of Kentwood, Ml, and Tim Strickland of Aurora, IN. Bob Graham of Cathedral City, CA, and Bob Green of Aurora. CO, were invited to observe as assistant coaches. Kathryn Tober of Golden, CO, served as manager for the camps. *

ESDF loaned the fledgling Nashville. Tennessee club a box of bows, arrows, quivers, arm guards and finger tabs as part of their Equipment Loan Program In one year, the Music City JOAO club has grown so rapidly that it has been able to purchase its own equipment and is now planning to expand by adding two or three more clubs to the program. "The Music City club is a model program that shows exactly what the merging of the Equipment Loan and Instructor Training programs was designed to do." said Lloyd Brown, ESDF Director of Youth Programs ‘Within a short amount of time, we should see some great archers coming out of that area * Of the 12 instructors that participated in the Level I Instructor Training course in Nashville, eight went on to take the 32-hour course needed to become certified Level II instructors Recently. two of those instructors attended the NAAsponsored coaching seminar at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Spnngs. Colorado “The purpose of the ESDF JOAD Instructor Training Program is to educate instructors so they can create an interest in their area and give good, sound advice to beginning archers.* said Brown The success of these two programs shows that interest in youth archery programs is on

ARCHERY-BACK ON TARGET IN CAMPS For many youngsters, their first experience with a bow and arrow is a summer camp And unfortunately, many of these campers walk away with bow-string arm scars. Archery and the black and blue marks - how many times have we heard the story? That one negative experience means that many young kids will miss the opportunity to connect with a fun and challenging sport Easton Sports Development Foundation (ESDF) recognized the need Io make that first exposure to archery a positive one. and in 1988, began organizing instructor courses for camp counselors During the first year, ESDF conducted eight courses and certified 101 instructors In 1992, 37 clinics were held with more than 650 instructors being certified Over a five year period, more than 1,600 Level I instructors have been certified According to ESDF Director of Youth Programs. Lloyd Brown, "The program has really taken off in the last couple of years. We have set a goal to hold 100 courses and train
1.000 instructors in 1993 The need for these courses becomes greater now that the American Camping Association (ACA) requires accredited camps to employ certified instructors * When ESDF holds a certification clinic, all equipment is provided along with packets for each camp counselor containing the NAA INSTRUCTOR'S MANUAL, JOAD booklet, handbook and certificates. Nine Steps wall chart. ABC S OF ARCHERY. Camp Safety booklet and score cards As the need for certified instructors increases. more individuals are needed to teach certification courses Anyone who is certified by the NAA at Level II or higher is qualified to teach, and ESDF makes all the arrangements for the course All you have to do is share your archery knowledge. If you are interested in becoming involved in the program, please contact Lloyd Brown at 818/782-6445.

POLICE ATHLETIC LEAGUE LEVEL 2 Six members of the Police Athletic League (PAL) took part in a special Level 2 coaches course, which was hosted by the NAA Dec 11 -13 at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo Founded in 1944, PAL is a national organization which seeks to prevent juvenile delinquency and crime by getting police involved with kids and offering them alternatives Each chapter of PAL is sponsored by a police station, which sets up sports and games for children in the community PAL’s 500 chapters offer more than 100 activities for kids Several of the policemen taking the Level 2 course revealed that they had chosen their occupation because of the appeal of being able to help others. PAL, they said, offered them a similar attraction, and that is why they became involved with the program. More than 2,000 officers and 3 million children are affiliated with PAL on the national level About 250 of those children participate in archery, which is only in its third year in the PAL program Those who passed the Level 2 course will return to their areas and give Level 1 classes to other members of PAL, thereby increasing involvement in archery even more ‘Archery has grown at a normal speed.‘ said PAL National Program Coordinator Tina Lux ’It’s hard to get people started in the sport, but they usually show a lot of enthusiasm once they get involved. •The course that the NAA provided for us was extremely helpful because it offered training opportunities at a lower cost than normal There are currently about 10 officers who teach archery through PAL. and that number should at least double as a result of this course * Those who took the course were Joseph Harnish of Anchorville. Mich.; John Lord of Vallejo. Calif, Lux of Boca Raton. Fla . Robert Ruhlm of Kenduskeag. Maine, Hector Tavarez of McKee City, N J , and Jay Woods of Pleasantville. N.J Lord and Ruhlm. who are not police officers, are two of PAL’s many community volunteers across the nation •

KOREA’S GOLD MEDALS - WHY 9 By DON LOVO FITA FIRST VICE PRESIDENT There is no question that if you asked people with a knowledge of international archery, ’’What country tops the world in Archery," the majority would say, "Korea!" The increasing Korean medal count since they first competed in 1979 certainly supports the answer and if you took the current World Championship and Olympic record list, you would find it even more indicative of Korea's outstanding ability in Archery Why? What makes this little country so powerful in sport - a country that pulled itself out of the devastation and rubble of a terrible civil war less than fifty years ago Is there a definitive answer? In the last ten years I have been to this country more than a dozen times and though I am not sure that there is a definite answer, there sure are several good reasons Discipline - Not only the discipline of proper training, but a discipline in every part of their everyday life. Education - Are they smarter than the rest of us? No, I don’t think so. but if they are. it is because they work at it - longer hours of school each day. six days a week Twelve years of education before college as we do. but homework like you wouldn't believe I am told that their national literacy level is 97%. higher than about 95% of the other nations in the world. Broad Base - Korea has over 2.600 archers. and they are tournament archers Archery is not a recreational sport in this country and there certainly is no hunting. They shoot a bow to win. not just for exercise It is a pyramid, and like all pyramids, the broader the base. the higher the peak They have a national training program that starts in primary school and continues through middle school, high school and college Each of these four levels has its own program and national championship - again, the pyramid Good Equipment Sports excellence is a national passion and certainly a matter of national pride, and the corporate community actively supports the quest for top performance In the case of archery, the Hyundai Corporation, Korea's second largest conglomerate (so I am told) picks up a large portion of the tab for
making the system work. Other sports, other national sponsors. Over twenty-five major companies have their own archery teams. each one trained by a paid, professional coach There are top level military teams with complete permanent training facilities One that visited had an all-weather range that allowed the archers to shoot through narrow louvres at regular outdoor distances from a heated. enclosed shooting line. The average archery beginner in Korea cannot afford to buy all of their own equipment. and they do not have to. it is supplied. If they show real dedication and ability, there is no limit, they can have the latest and best from the top manufacturers in the world. Coaching In 1983 Korean coaches formed an association that now numbers close to one hundred and they are professional The champions they produce are not by accident In early December after conducting a judges seminar in Japan, I was asked by their coaches' association to talk to their members. I was met in Seoul, flown to Ulsan and driven to Kyong-Ju (Korea's ancient city) They were having a biannual conference that included for one thing, a 5 a.m hike to the top of a mountain where a Buddhist monk lectured on and demonstrated the art of Zen. That was after a program the night before that didn’t end until 2 a m. As I said before, it is not a game with them, they are professional From 9 to 12 that same morning. I lectured at their request, on the purpose, structure and future of FITA, with emphasis on the Olympic Round. Their questions were intelligent and pointed They wanted all the information they could get to help their students produce the best results. Mr. Park Kyung-Rae. their Chairman, apologized for the fact that only eighty-five coaches were able to attend on such short notice. Were there any complaints? No. the remarks were constructive. The only real complaint was the lack of time. They had hundreds more questions that limited time did not permit them to ask One of the observations I could make about many of our international coaches is that they
often are somewhat secretive about their training procedures Not so in Korea Their knowledge and procedures are shared The dividend? better procedures and better results Competitive Experience - As I said, they are competitive archers, not recreational archers and an intense circuit of competitions gives them training and experience in handling the tension of a championship - a developed control that pays off when it really counts Trainings - Each year they name two national teams - eight men and eight women on both the A and B teams (thirty-two total) These teams are sent to national training camps where they follow a rigid program six to eight hours a day, six days a week If they maintain a performance that keeps them on the A team. this could mean years of intensive training that includes literally hundreds of hours of mental control training, arranged schooling. clothes, accommodation and spending money National Pride - No country in the world has more national pride than Korea, and this small nation of forty million people produces sports and national production results that rival countries many times their size and population. Why? For one thing, they have a fighting spirit that makes national achievement a very important and personal thing and failure emotionally, almost unacceptable Incentives - Last but certainly not least In 1979 Kim Jm-Hoo won Korea's first ever world gold medal in any sport, and the love affair with archery began Kim Jm-Hoo was given a house, furniture and an allowance (above the average salary) for life Today, an Olympic or World Championship Gold Medal guarantees $1000 to $2000 per month for life. The average worker in Korea makes $700 to $1200 per month, the recipients are financially secure for life. The medal winners are celebnties in the finest national sense That creates the desire to train hard and perform well that nothing else can match None of the above guarantees world record breaking performances, but it certainly makes them possible More than thirty female archers in Korea average over 1300 points Without actually counting. I would guess that is equal

Terry had no idea that he was the real guest of honor as he was told that the party was for Shen and Kathy He spent the day Saturday inviting guests to what he didn't realize was his party! Was he surprised when everyone sang happy birthday to him and the cake (bought by Michael Seddon with a likeness of Terry shooting a recurve bow) was brought out
Following competition and awards on Sunday, a New Olympic Round was shot for those who wished to participate Jay Barrs organized the event Many shooters feel that these rounds must be held as often as possible in order for the U.S. shooters to improve their abilities to compete in this extremely competitive round. Due to the few participants, all divisions competed in one Very interesting! The recurve shooters had a difficult time competing with the compound archers. Next year the Duel will be held in California on October 23 and 24 (contact Karl Radde for information). The tournament, when held in California is lovingly called the "shake and bake" tournament. Hopefully there won’t be too many earthquakes that weekend In 1991 there were rumbles while competition was taking place but those of us who are not used to earthquakes thought it was a large truck going down the freeway! Oh well. archery is full of new experiences' Hope 1993 proves more successful for Arizona ... I’m not too prejudiced

immediately switched to compound, sight and release Shortly after that I developed "target panic" to the point I couldn't even look through a peep sight without flinching My dad created a draw-length activated release which helped cure some of the problem. I shot my first 300 indoors later that year with that release. A couple years later he bought me a hydraulic release which completed the cure Now I can shoot pretty much any type of release without trouble. I attended college at the University of Wisconsin-Madison beginning in 1981. For the next four years I shot only on occasional weekends After I graduated in 1985,1 accepted a job in Chicago and met an avid target shooter. Ed Perkis, at a local club. Ed showed me the ropes and got me started shooting leagues and NFAA field rounds One of the leagues was held at a local archery shop run by professional archer Randy Rutledge With a lot of help from Ed and Randy, some equipment changes (like I finally got rid of my 4-wheel compound), and a lot more practice my scores started to improve quickly I competed in my first ever national tournament, the NFAA Indoor Nationals, in 1987. There I shot my best my best tournament scores ever up to that point finishing second in the adult freestyle division. I continued shooting indoors and outdoors through the year and into 1988. My old bow finally gave out and Astro Bows offered me the chance to try one of their bows I finished second at the NFAA Indoor Nationals again that year and Astro Bows has been my sponsor ever since That fall I got married to my charming wife. Beth, and moved back to Wisconsin. I also joined the NFAA Pro Division and the PAA to begin 1989 I didn't feel my scores were up to it yet. but I wanted the additional challenge and the opportunity to meet and shoot with all the people I had only read about up to that point I had a great rookie year as a pro finishing in the money at every tournament. It certainly helped that when I
Happy New Year and Good Luck to everyone moved back to Wisconsin I didn't have a fulltime job to distract me. I worked part time at in 1993. MOST MEMORABLE ARCHERY EXPERI a local archery shop and spent a lot of time practicing. Talk about an understanding wife! ENCE: I’ve had numerous memorable experiences which come to mind. I still remember It turned out that that was the extra jump my first state indoor championship as a young needed to get my scores up to a competitive level adult with everybody staring at each arrow I shot I recall a particular person's exclamation, Unfortunately there's not a lot of money in archery yet (kite flyers make more!) and I "Jeff who?", at my first win as a pro at the PSE Shoot Out. My first place finishes in was shortly going to have another mouth to 1991 at the Big Sky and PAA Outdoor are feed So. I started working again full time after the 1989 NFAA Outdoor Nationals for also still fresh in my memory. Some of my most memorable experiences weren't even Employers Health Insurance where I still work today There I play with numbers and statistics wins. I can still remember my first year as a trying to determine the appropriate premium pro at Vegas being tied with Dee Wilde and level for group health insurance products. My Kirk Ethridge with only four ends to go (I finished third). Or this past year when I finished daughter. Jessica, was born one month later in September. third at the NFAA Outdoor Nationals after 1990 was not a particularly good year for shooting a 558 hunter round to catch up to my shooting 1991 was better though with Dean Pridgen I still vividly remember my second first place finishes at the Big Sky Open and year as a pro at Vegas, freezing on my third the PAA Outdoor Nationals Finally this past arrow of the first scoring end on day one and year I finished third overall in the PAA.

WHY I LIKE ARCHERY: I like archery because Beside target shooting, I also enjoy it is something I feel I can be competitive in bowhunting. This past year I also got more and at the same time enjoy while doing. I involved in IBO shooting, though I can't guess don't necessarily mean competitive by winning distances over 30 yards very well (you probably I enjoy trying to establish new personal bests imagine how well I did already!) I also started Also, there are the people I've made many participating in NAA events. I still like to shoot good friends, acquaintances, etc. through a round of archery golf when I get the chance archery. I also enjoy traveling and seeing the Jessica, now three years old, goes with me sights at the various tournament locations on numerous practice sessions and has started ANY MESSAGES FOR OUR READERS? The to ask when she can go "shootin" too! I enjoy most important message I would convey is. helping and teaching others to shoot, so maybe relax and have a good time while shooting I'll have another shooting companion in a few I've seen people who started out in archery years Meanwhile, my dad and I still go to a because it was fun become so obsessed with number of shoots together. Of course none winning to the point they were no longer having of this would have been possible without my fun. And once they stopped winning, they wife’s continued support and encouragement quit archery. To me, that's taking any sport (well, actually "toleration" may be closer to too seriously. I like to compete and win, but I the truth!) and for that I thank her with all my also realize that on any given day any one of heart. a number of people can beat me. So I just try to shoot my best and enjoy myself...winning is a bonus!

THE U S. ARCHER
THE HUNT FOR EXCELLENCE A PROFILE OF RANDY ULMER® PHOTO AND ARTICLE By LES MANESS and JOHN SIELICKI Randy Ulmer got started in archery because he was a hunter Now. fourteen years later, he has become a hunter of a different kind His search is now for excellence His "game" has become world titles Randy began his quest in 1990 when he set a new record at the NFAA Indoor Nationals in the Bowhunter Freestyle Division He went on to win the 1990 IBO World Championship in the Open Class Trophy Division. He culminated his winning year by capturing the 1990 FITA World Field Championships in Loen, Norway Leading the U.S Archers to victory was a significant high point in Randy’s search for excellence. It was the first time compound bows were allowed to compete since this prestigious event was begun in 1931 In 1991 Randy showed no signs of letting up on his goals He got off to a fast start in January by setting a record at the Arizona State Indoor Championships He shot a perfect 120 x's In February, he picked up even more speed with his record setting performance in the preliminaries held at the Las Vegas Tropicana He shot a perfect 300 two days in a row in the Bowhunter Freestyle division and posted the highest score for all classes in the tournament Later that year. Randy extended his hunt for adventure to include 3-D tournaments At the 1991 IBO Western Triple Crown he recorded the highest overall individual score and led the High Country team into first place in the Manufacturers division A few weeks later he captured the 1991 IBO National Triple Crown by again scoring the highest overall points in the prestigious three round event He completed
his tournament year mere tractions out of first place in a dramatic finish in the 1991 IBO World Championships In 1992. Randy continued to strive for perfections in the world of archery He placed a close second in the professional division at the Tropic • in Las Vegas Three wee s later he took first at the 1992 IBO S hwestern Championships in the Manufacturer's division And by ie end of the year. Randy had achieved the coveted title of overall World Champion in the gruelling rounds of the prestigious IBO World Championships in Anniston. Alabama Randy is a man whose actions show he believes in the credo of "Plan your work and your work plan." That philosophy has helped him build a successful veterinary practice in Scottsdale. Arizona, and has earned him sponsorships from High Country Archery, Easton. Golden Key-Future and Toxomcs It has also guided him to nu nerous Pope and Young record book animals, including Elk, Shiras Moose. Desert Bighorn Sheep and Mountain Goat. Randy's creed also dictates that he must continually set new goals His goal for now is to analyze, evaluate and implement every single factor that could further his personal quest for improvements He realizes that this will not be an easy task, but he rr mains undaunted He knows from experience that good things come o those who persevere and to those who wait Those are lessons he will never forget, for as long as he continues to hunt For Excellence
RANDY ULMER STRESSES... HONESTY® By LES MANESS and JOHN SIELICKI To look at Randy Ulmer, you'd probably think he's never experienced one ounce of tournament stress He is cool, calm, collected and. after all, a world champion archer. Yet. Randy will readily admit that he feels the anxiety at nearly every tournament Randy confides that "tournament pressure can sometimes start as much as two days before a competition " If it is a big indoor shoot, he owns up to “definitely having a few butterflies the day before the tournament " And. when he is shooting with a big crowd around him. he confesses to feeling acute tension on "the first arrow of the first day and last arrow of the last day “ So how come a guy that is supposedly feeling all this pressure looks like he could give "the Fonz" lessons on how to look cooP It's the way he channels the pressure that makes the difference He explains. "If I shoot the first arrow well, it gives me more confidence If I shoot it poorly, it just makes me more determined to concentrate on doing better" He adds. "I reason that the pressure is going to be there no matter what I do So then, it's just a matter of how I deal with it that will determine my success " Randy's outlook on pressure is not the only thing that sets him apart from other archers His formula for success includes a cntical self-analysis that would challenge Sigmund Freud He then combines his findings with a carefully constructed plan of attack which he reevaluates and adjusts on an ongoing basis. Furthermore, he feels that any archer that is really willing to be honest with himself can benefit from this procedure Randy sums up his method "You can go out and shoot a hundred arrows every day for the rest of your life But you will still be a mediocre archer unless you change what you are doing wrong You have to be very strong to do that The only way I have been able to achieve anything is by following these four steps
1. 2 3. 4
I analyze myself as objectively as possible I write my problems down on paper I then write my plans for correcting those problems Then, every week I check to see how I am coming along on that problem
Randy knows from experience that this is not an easy thing to do But. in order for an archer to improve, he feels it is absolutely necessary He sums it up this way "I recognize that being this honest with yourself goes against human nature But. it is the essential step You don't have to admit it to anyone else, but you must be honest with yourself" JANUARY-FEBRUARY 1993

ARCHERY MANUFACTURERS ORGANIZATION 2622 C-4 N.W. 43rd Street, Gainesville, Florida 32606
AMO GRANTS $48,663 MORE FROM THE "SAVE OUR HERITAGE" FUND GAINESVILLE, FL - The Archery Manufacturers Organization (AMO) announces two more grants, totaling $48,663, from it’s unique "Save Our Heritage" fund generated by the worldwide sale of archery and bowhunting equipment. An additional grant of $10,000 was made to Arizonans for Wildlife Conservation for their anti-hunting ballot fight in the November election AWC successfully defeated Proposition 200 by a 2-1 margin If it had passed, this anti-hunting, anti-fishing initiative would have had an immediate impact upon our sport in every state AMO granted a total of $110,000 in 1992 to help gam victory in this fight America's bowhunters, through their purchase of archery equipment via this "Save Our Heritage" program made the largest single contribution to the Arizona effort, and should be justifiably proud Wounding rates have always been an unanswered issue that the animal rights fanatics have used to attack bowhunting To put this issue to rest once-and-for-all, $38,663 has been granted from the "Save Our Heritage" fund for a study being done by the American Archery Council Wildlife Management Committee Both the Minnesota DNR and West Virginia University are cooperating in this joint study The above bring the total amount of "Save Our Heritage" funds granted by AMO during the past year to help save bowhunting to $183,663 AMO is composed of archery manufacturers, distributors, dealers, sales reps, supporting companies, and magazines Over fifty manufacturers are voluntarily contributing to this program. Look for the special stickers on their products, they read "Your Purchase Helps AMO Protect Bowhunting." The "Save Our Heritage" fund was created to defend and preserve bowhunting and to promote and develop all of archery. *
HOW AMO'S "SAVE OUR HERITAGE" HELPED DEFEAT THE ANTI-HUNTERS GAINESVILLE, FL - When the voters in Arizona recently rejected an initiative that could have outlawed all hunting and fishing by a 62 to 38 percent vote, America's bowhunters, through a grant of $110,000 from the Archery Manufacturers Organization (AMO) "Save Our Heritage" program, played one of the key roles. Arizonans for Wildlife Conservation (AWC) was a citizens coalition formed to defeat an animal rights extremist's referendum known as Proposition 200. This dangerous initiative was a poorly concealed attempt that could have led to the end of all hunting, fishing, trapping and wildlife management in Arizona, and would have had national implications in all other states It was a thinly-veiled attempt to ban the use of leghold traps on Arizona's vast public lands, called for "non-lethal wildlife management," and acknowledged wildlife's existence "for its own sake." Nearly $800,000 was raised to defeat Proposition 200, with 75% of it spent on a massive media blitz beginning in September to defeat the anti’s. AMO's grant of $110,000 was the single largest amount given to fight this threat from the antihunters In view of the fact that over 900 different organizations and 5,200 individuals contributed to the AWC fund, America's bowhunter, through the AMO "Save Our Heritage" program, can be justifiably proud of the part they played According to the AWC. Proposition 200 was the hottest issue on the November 3 ballot, gaming even more votes than two other controversial votes on abortion and the Martin Luther King Holiday Even the kids voted down Proposition 200 by a smashing 2 to 1 margin in mock ballots

PEOPLE AND PLACES WORLD BOWHUNTING ASSOCIATION
On September 4,1992, an informal meeting was held in Brussels, Belgium at the office of Dr Yves Lecocq, Secretary General of the Federation of Hunters Associations of the European Economic Communities (FACE). Participants in the meeting were Mr Marten Ekstrom of Finland. Secretary of the World Bowhunting Association (WoBA); Mr Xavier Pechenart of France. President of the European Bowhunting Federation; Dr. James J Shubert of the United States. President of WoBA and Dr. Yves Lecocq. The meeting established a working relationship with FACE’S Secretary General and examined the feasibility of promoting bowhunting in the twelve member states of the European Community. To further recognize bowhunting within the member countries of the EC. it is important that the official language of the EC supports bowhunting and that each national hunting federation, belonging to FACE, also recognize bowhunting as a legal field sport The official hunting organization that represents France is the Union Nationale Des Federations Departmentale Des Chasseurs This organization was instrumental in legalizing bowhunting in France. At the European level. the efforts of FACE are reflected in the recently adopted EC Directive "Fauna-Flora-Habitats", published in the EC Official Journal on July 22. 1992, which no longer lists the bow and arrow in the "Prohibited Weapons" annex. Currently in the EC countries. France. Finland. Spain. Portugal and Denmark have authorized bowhunting in some form, with approximately 4000 bowhunters in the field The number of licensed hunters in the twelve EC countries is 6 5 million. Bowhunting, as a legal option, would provide the opportunity for a percentage of hunters to move laterally into a new field sport. According to the L’Economie de la Chasse, published by the Comite National D'Information Chasse-Nature, the hunters of the EC are spending about two billion dollars annually for shell and weapons Subject to agreement by the delegations of FACE, an Ad Hoc Committee on bowhunting may be formed at their next board meeting in February 1993.

"Thanks Frank. What I learned at your school helped me become a successful bowhunter and applying your techniques brought it all together on the range and in the field hunting."

America’s bowhunters also played an integral part on the AWC staff. PSE's public relations director. J R Absher, left home and spent full time on the campaign over its final six weeks as head of campaign media relations on both the national and statewide levels. In commenting on the Arizona vote. AMO President Dick Lattimer said. "The animal rights extremists learned a valuable lesson in Arizona. and that is to be careful on how and when they wake the ‘sleeping giant’ that is America’s hunters, fishers and trappers We can come together as one mighty force when necessary to defend scientific wildlife management and our individual sports and businesses. I am
very proud of the part that AMO's 'Save Our Heritage' program was able to play in this critical vote I'd especially like to thank the hundreds of thousands of bowhunters who bought the products carrying our special "Save Our Heritage" stickers on them that read "Your purchase helps AMO protect bowhunting." And I'd also like to pay tribute to the more than fifty archery manufacturers who are contributing a significant portion of their sales into this unique ’kitty’ to help us fight back against the illogical attacks by the animal rights extremists Special recognition, too. should go to Pete Shepley of Precision Shooting Equipment for "loaning" J R Absher for this entieal campaign."
