TERRIFIC REDUCTION OF SHOCKS AND VIBRATIONS Shock and vibration at the moment of shooting affect unnecessary movement and shooting feeling directly. More shooting shock makes more unnecessary movement to make shooting unclear and vibration affects archers' shooting feel­

ing. Minimizing unnecessary movement and vibration is one of the main elements to increase archer's scores.

Happy New Year!

Great things are in store for the NASP and S3DA students. Keep in mind they are the future of our industry. They do not want a hand me down bow and arrows. They want their own special equipment in trend with the times, such as, their latest phone or digital game. We are competing with a new generation who wants the best in everything. Something that is new and improved. Not necessarily a copy of Mom’s and Dad’s equipment. Sorry, I had to pass up going to the ATA Louisville Show this year. I am very interested in what the manufacturers have come up with for the archers ages 6-18 of the future,. Pete Shepley has stepped up with the opening of the Pete Snepley Competition Archery Center here in Tucson. I will keep you informed about its progress. World famous coach Alexander Kirilov is their resident coach. At the inaugural tournament, Cadet Men’s Compound archer, Cooper French shot a new World

Thanksgiving Archery Style by Coach Roy Villasor MNSA

TD & MC Jeremy Morris Now on its 5th successful year, the Annual Turkey Shoot in Fullerton, CA was hosted by Hi­ Tech Archery, everyone’s favorite archery store in Southern Califor­ nia. The Shoot was conceived by the management to bring in all the archers to thank them for their sup­ port and patronage. Established in 1995, Hi-Tech is on its 21st year of continuous retail operation. This was their way of saying thanks with a tournament providing a free lunch of either a grilled hamburger or hot­ dog sandwich, chili and chips. The tournament format has changed since it started out as The Harvest Shoot in 2012. Today, it is a 25 meter, 45 arrow shoot using a FI TA 60m target. Perfect score is 450 points. Medals are award­ ed, however, the frozen 20-pound Butterball Turkeys are awarded to the winning team. A team is not composed of ^archers from the same club. But r^rather selected randomly by the zzrop 5 scorers, now 6 top scorers ^■s the Annual Turkey shoot has at^■*acted an ever increasing number f archers from different divisions. This year, the top 6 scorers -----'ere called front and center. Tour^^ment Director and Host, Jeremy ^BJprris then held out each partici­ pant’s score cards for the top scor; to draw one archer (regardless division) to his/her team until .—^ryone has a team assignment. —-=s, each team’s composition of

bows will be as varied as it is ran­ dom. But Team rounds are unpre­ dictable. Also new to this edition of the Annual Turkey Shoot, the young ones would shoot in the af­ ternoon. Whereas, the Young once shot in the morning. This was be­ cause, the Annual event has been growing in number every year. But Hi-Tech’s two-storey range can accommodate only so many. Previously, the teams were a mixture of Seniors, Juniors all the way to Cub based on qualification score, which made age a factor. This year, good shooting regard­ less of the bow in use would make the difference. The changes in the team round keeps things interest­ ing that brings everyone back year after year. Returning this year, was Resident Archer and US World Team Member-Jack Williams. Jack has represented the coun­ try in World Archery events from Shanghai to Berlin and is a front runner for the US Olympic Trials in 2019. Asked why a big gun like Jack would attend a communi­ ty event? “Jack’s Mom”- Wendy replied: “Friendships are what brings Jack back every year to the Hi-Tech Annual Turkey shoot.

Coach Roy Villasor MNSA Gold Medalist, USA Masters & California State Games 2017

Jack enjoys seeing his SoCal ar­ chery family and meeting new ar­ chers. Everyone in Jack’s SoCal archery story has been so support­ ive. He always jumps at the chance to see and shoot with them again.”. How does this event com­ pare to a World stage? “So much of Jack’s shooting now is serious and filled with pressure. Shooting for fun is always a welcome time for Jack to simply enjoy archery.” ac­ cording to Mom Wendy Williams. It must go both ways, be­ cause late comer to the sport but a new comer to the Annual Tur­ key shoot was Milton Quirante of Hawthorne CA. He never thought that when he woke up that morn­ ing, he would meet, let alone be part of Team Jack Williams! After making Team Jack, Milton spoke of how warm and encouraging Jack Williams was on and off the shooting line during the team event. “He was every inch, the Team Captain!” said Milton.

Hi Tech’s Rick, Sue Ann & Joe Making it to the final team round for the 20-pound Turkey, Jack would contribute a 29/30 to the overall team score. When the team score was tabulat­ ed, Team Jack finished second by one point. Milton and the rest of Team Jack was surprised when Jack commented, if only he (Jack) had shot a 30 so that the entire Team could have forced a shoot off. It was Jack taking responsibility for the team’s loss, when in fact, Jack had shot the highest among the en­ tire team. If this is a reflection of the work ethic of Jack Williams, then we are going to see more perfect 30s from this young member of Team USA Archery. Fact is Jack shot an incredible 443/450 points at this Annual Turkey Shoot and finished first in the individ­ ual awards. In the end, the members of Team Jack missed the frozen Turkey but came home with warm memories of having been on Team Jack with a souvenir photo that would outlast the prize Turkey.

A Tale o£ Two Coaches by Coach Roy Villasor MNSA With those cold steel blue eyes aiming, strong fingers holding back the string except for her pointer which points to the target, as if saying “that away”, she releases...with a familiar sounding thud in the center of the gold. This is World Field Archery Record holder - 17year old Madison Wilkens, a Newport Harbor High School Senior with a 4.0 GPA. She already holds 3 North American and 3 World Records in Young Adult Female Bare Bow Compound Division of the IFAA. Field Round - 372 points, Hunter Round -360 points and Animal Round - 510 points as of 2018. At the 2018 NFAA Indoor Nationals in Cincin­ nati, Ohio, she took first place in the same division, shooting back to back 273s for a total of 546. Cur­ rently, young Maddy is sponsored by Turner’s and Ar­ chery Republic. The latter is a new company manufac­ turing stabilizers and rods based on aerospace design that distributes vibration through the entire length of the stabilizer. Maddy has taken these stabilizers to her full advantage.

Maddy working on her Barebow Shooting Style while Coach Art Morris looks on However, equipment can only take one so far. So the question that begs to be asked is how she ac­ complished so much in so little time? The answer lies in excellent coaching from not one but two coaches. Maddy is coached simultaneously by Coach­ es Art Morris and Kevin Busby. Both are old school coaches when levels didn’t count nor apply. Coach _ Art is a straight talker. He told Maddy that she has ■been going up the ranks with him but they could use —he opinion of another coach with more experience in zroarebow. Kevin Busby is a barebow shooter, with pre__ nous wins in Las Vegas and was formerly sponsored rray Easton and Yamaha. Coach Art approached Kevin and asked if he ould spend 15 minutes to look over Maddy. The latter id and made suggestions that Maddy applied success___ illy. 15 minutes became 15 months, together Kevin Mid Art have coached Maddy to world record scores. 2

Coach Roy Villasor MNSA Gold Medalist, USA Masters & California State Games 2017

Watching a coaching/practice session of Maddy with Art and Kevin, there is a lot of friendly banter in between serious lessons. A lot ofjoking around meant to distract Maddy at full draw but to no avail. After driving an arrow into the gold, she turns to her coach­ es with a clever comeback that sends them reeling. Coach Art often says “Archery is suppose to be fun, if it ain’t fun no more, let’s just stop this.” Asked what is the most important lesson Mad­ dy learned from Coach Art and Coach Kevin? She replies that she can’t repeat those lessons, word for word, and jokingly says, “I can’t use words like that until I’m eighteen.” More laughter ensues, it is a fun session. One thing is for sure, she learned those les­ sons well because she repeatedly strikes gold. Rick McKinney once said at an Arizona JOAD Coaches Seminar that coaches are like tools in a tool­ box. When you need a particular tool, you pull the right one out of the tool box. He often advises coach­ es not to take it personally when an archer sees anoth­ er coach. Protocols exist for an archer to inform the orig­ inal coach of the latter’s intent to transfer. For coach­ es the priority should be the archer and their further development. Coaches should further improve their knowledge and coaching skills so in turn other ar­ chers would consider him/her as their next coach.

Kevin Busby, Maddy Wilkins & Art Morris What is unique in Maddy’s case is not a turn over from one coach to another but the cooperation of both Coaches Art and Kevin, working together for the advantage and benefit of Maddy. It’s good for the archer and good for the sport with results that speak for themselves. U.S. Archer Inc. 36th Anniversary

Most Tens This Indoor Season

Top Tips to Get the Most Tens This Indoor Season

2018 www.usaarchery.com

World Indoor Team Champion and World Field Champion Paige Pearce COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado - With indoor season in full swing, we talked to some of the USA’s best archers to get you top tips to get extra points this season. When the targets are closer and smaller, a few points can make a huge difference, read below to maximize your game! World indoor team champion and world field champion Paige Pearce shared: “When shooting in­ door, many archers stress over having to switch their target from top to bottom or bottom to top at the half way mark of competition. When 1 practice, 1 always have two targets up with one on top and one on bot­ tom and I shoot 6 arrow ends. One end I start on the top target for the first three arrows, then shoot the last three in the bottom. The next end I shoot the first three in the bottom then the last three in the top. This not only helps with stamina by shooting more arrows per end, but it also helps with confidence when you have to switch positions in competition. If you’re nervous about any part of the competition, then that’s some­ thing you should be practicing at home.” 2016 Olympian Mackenzie Brown represented Team USA at the last World Archery Indoor Champi­ onships and shared: “My tip would be to make sure you retune your bow for 18 meters; some people leave their outdoor tune and you could be losing points. So, check your tune at 1 8 and make the necessary fine adjustments for maximum 10s!” Barebow superstar and multi time world field med­ alist John Demmer III advises: “Always be willing to ad­ just for lighting conditions. One range you might be cen­ tered up on impact while the next you might be 4 inches to the left or right. Be willing to adapt and adjust quickly especially if you only have a couple ends of practice.” 2018 indoor world cup final silver medalist, indoor world championship team gold medalist and world, cup final champion Kris Schaff recommends: “Don’t be afraid to try something new. As little as moving your peep up or down a tiny bit, or changing 14

draw length and cam timing. Try it out and see if your dot sits better or you bow becomes more forgiving. You can always move it back if it gets worse.” Para USAT recurve open men’s Kevin Mather broke so many national and world records this year, we would take any advice he has to give on getting extra points! Kevin shared: “1 do a few things to keep my arrow count up and keep my sanity up while shooting indoors during the chilly times in Denver (I still shoot outside if its 50 degrees +). To build my mental game I set a goal for 300 rounds. I start with the Blue face - and once I’ve hit my goal there, 1 move over to the 3 spot...” He added: “When moving from indoor to out­ door (after Vegas usually) I take all the fletchings off my amows and shoot qualifying rounds at 40m on a 60cm target. This usually cleans up my form and makes me focus on every shot. The bareshafts will go way out if you’re not clean on the release - so you need to bring intent to each arrow. 1 score these rounds and always try to beat myself moving the scores in the right direction. The key is to not get lazy when you move outside and put the vanes back on.” Whether you’re shooting indoors or outdoors, three-time Olympic medalist Brady Ellison instructs: “I think that you should warm up and then score every arrow you shoot. No matter if you’re shooting good or bad. That way, when you score in a shoot, you are used to looking at your scores.” Paralympian and Para USAT standout Lia Co­ p'd! shared some adaptive tips too: “I find shooting indoors to be more difficult than outdoor because there are so many distractions! Sound and light and move­ ment all within a confined place make it the perfect place to work on your mental ability to stay focused and in the moment. [For archers with adaptive needs] If you can request to be at the beginning of the line or the last one at the end of the line you may be able to squeak out a little more time and room for yourself. I have had judges blow the whistle to start shooting before 1 am even on the line. When that happens, you are trying to hurry to squeeze in the line and you are disrupting those in front of or behind you, so staying on the line may be your best bet, even if you feel like a garden statue!” With more in the pro column for indoor shoot­ ing, Lia added: “The coolest thing about shooting in­ doors is... I actually get to roll out to the target and see for myself where my arrows have scored! This is HUGE because that doesn’t happen at outdoor tour­ naments. I may not be able to score or pull the arrows but 1 can see and analyze my shot patterns. Another bonus is that the bathrooms are always close and ac­ cessible! Yay!” Get practicing and then test yourself at a State Championship or Indoor Nationals! U.S. Archer Inc. 36th Anniversary

While there before he shot the 6 arrows he made 3 other Guinness World Records by shooting 3 ar­ rows, 4 arrows and then 5 arrows before he did the finale of shoot­ ing 6 arrows. In 2010, Randy traveled to Beijing, China and Rome, Ita­ ly and performed live in front of studio audiences and live TV for Guinness World Records Tele­ vision on China Central TV and on SkyTV in Italy. He was later featured in a Guinness World Re­

In 2010, Randy was also featured on Topps Allen and Ginter World Champion series of trading cards. He signed a limit­ ed number in blue ink and a very limited number in red ink. They also made some cards out of silk

at the pre-race ceremony on the Speed Channel. His picture is in the 2005 Food City 500 program and his picture was out front on the Bristol Motor Speedway mar­ quee. I do not know of any archer who has ever had that happen.. On July 17, 2008, Randy was featured in a daily cartoon for Ripley’s Believe It or Not. He was also noted in their Ripley’s Be­ lieve It or Not Book. In 2009, Randy traveled to London, England for the Guinness Book Of World Records TV show called “Guinness World Records Smashed” to make archery histo­ ry!

Randy was the first archer to ever be featured on a Topps trading card. In 2015, Topps released these cards again with a 10th anniversary logo on them. They can be found on ebay and amazon under Randy’s name. Randy was paid by the Topps com­ pany to do this.

own Guinness World Record of shooting 6 arrows simultaneous­ ly at 6 balloons with one shot of his bow by shooting 7 arrows at 7 balloons simultaneously with one shot of his bow on the ABC TV Show Jimmy Kimmel Live. He broke his own record on his 3rd and final attempt. He said that they had huge 4 foot lights above him and beside him to get slow motion footage of the arrows with their Disney camera that they brought in just for Randy’s attempt. He said the lights stretched his bow string and before his final attempt he had to take his bow and go into a cold room to relax and have the bow ready. He shoots a 60 pound 43 inch axle to axle Mathews Con­ quest Apex Bow and Easton Flatline DOA 500 grain arrows for

the 7 arrow shot. He also uses a Stanislawski Double Eagle release on every Guinness World Record shot. This is the address of a small clip of Randy on Kimmel: https://www.you tube. com/watch?v=aYRujsj9Z_Q

Randy received a total air time on late night TV of approx­ imately 15 minutes. Most singers do not get that much. He was on with Ellen Pompeo from Grey’s Anatomy show who seemed angry that Randy got more time than she. This is the address of the complete Jimmy Kimmel spot of 15 minutes plus for archery and Randy: https://www.youtube.com/ watch ?v=_r78gPVFFSY

Randy was not allowed to wear any sponsor logos but he tried to hold his Mathews bow front and center as much as pos­ sible. In December 2010 Randy became a regular archery exhibi­ tion shooter on the Outdoor Chan­ nel TV show “Shooting USA’S Impossible Shots. The show ran for 8 years and can still be seen in reruns. You can see many of Ran­ dy’s nearly impossible archery shots on his you tube channel. His shots are not trick shots but are precision archery shots.

In March 2012,Randy was contacted by the producers of NBC’S America’s Got Talent to perform his skills in front of the judges for Season 7. Randy had never ever watched the show be­

U.S. Archer Inc.36th Anniversary

fore so he did not even know how they did things. He performed at the St. Louis Fox Theater in front of the judges Howard Stern, Sha­ ron Osbourne and Howie Mandel. They put Randy through to Vegas but Randy had to withdraw be­ cause they wanted him to cancel all of his Grand Openings for Cabela’s that year and other outdoor related expos. Randy could not do that to his sponsors because he had already been paid deposits for most of the upcoming events that they wanted him to cancel. So, he just said, “No.” He was in a very small clip of Season’s 7 show of the talent going straight on to Ve­ gas. A friend saw him and Randy commented, “Boy, you must have been watching it close to even see me.”

He also received an invitation from Japan, but again, he declined. He drives everywhere that he can in the states, even if it is 3000 miles away like he did when he went to Hollywood.

Sponsorship by Rick McKinney, President of Carbon Tech Arrows and U.S. Representative for Win & Win Archery One of the most exciting things that happen to an archer is their first sponsorship. There are many reasons that the sponsorship means something to the archer. It could be financial. The cost of travel to compete and train, the cost of equipment and the cost of coaching or physical therapy or psychological or other important requirements that are needed to climb a ladder that leads to be­ coming a champion. What is even more exciting is the recognition of being sponsored by a large compa­ ny, which gives the archer a boost in their belief in them self. One of the goals of archers is to become sponsored by a com­ pany who offers products that would help them save money or give them the respect they feel they have earned. The goals of the company are to find archers who will help them sell the product in order to make more money. Their goal is to get the endorsement from the archer, which will encourage other archers who follow these top ar­ chers to buy whatever they use. Companies demand 100% loyalty if they sponsor the archer. The things that are expected from the archer is that no matter what, there will not be a negative com­ ment made of the company nor of their product. If there is an issue or problem from the product used, it is expected that the archer con­ tact the company directly and re­ solve the problems behind closed doors. Usually if the archer does create an issue such as complain­ ing about the product the sponsor­ ship will quickly stop.

For those who feel they de­ serve a sponsorship, just remem­ ber, there are 100’s of top archers in several divisions and several states and countries. Just because you feel you deserve a sponsor­ ship does not mean it will be fi­ nancially feasible for the company to sponsor you. For instance, be­ coming a state champion is some­ thing that just does not add up to a sponsorship by itself. There are 50 states. There are at minimum 8 state championship events in each state, which would include indoor, outdoor target, outdoor field, 3D and even NASP. There are a min­ imum of 5 organizations (USAA, IBO, NFAA, ASA, JOAD, NASP, S3 DA, etc.), not to mention the Rick has some advice to the shooter considering sponsorships.

different programs within each in­ cluding collegiate, youth, masters and seniors. There are so many divisions that it is hard to keep up with all of them. At one time I figured there were over 3500 state champions a year. That is probably a very low figure since I did not in­ clude the ASA, NASP or S3DA). The beginning sponsor­ ship usually starts in the local area. Usually that is a local pro shop or store. If you win local­ ly, this could help the sales of the pro shop, so you might get a deal on product that they sell in their store. Sometimes stores will give you a discount just so you shoot in their lanes which might encourage other archers to join you to shoot together. That is why leagues and club shoots are important to stores if they have an archery indoor/outdoor range. Professionalism is a must. Although as a top shooter, you can be a jerk and still be spon­ sored but the choices might be limited due to the negative public­ ity you may generate. The sponsorship program

Rick

varies between different stores and different manufacturers. A lot has to do with financial costs. If a small company cannot afford to pay you, then you might get free equipment and some extra equip­ ment that might be sellable to oth­ er archers. This is a double-edged sword since if you sell to an archer in an area that the store sells the same item, you are taking busi­ ness away from the local store. This does not sit well with the storeowner who is in the business to make money and not be every­ one’s friend. One of the biggest challenges that a small manufac­ turer has is that the big manu­ factures can out pay the smaller manufacturer. It then becomes a game of those who do not want to be a part of a large group and wants to stand out with a smaller company. I have always told kids to stay with what works best and wait until the company contacts you, then you can negotiate a bet­ ter deal. If you are using a prod­ uct that is popular and win with it, sometimes the company will just be your friend and not offer any­ thing. After all, why would they give you something that you have been willing to pay for? If you are using a competitor’s product of that big company, the big compa­ ny will try to win you over with free product and if you are really good, then sponsorship money could be provided. Being sponsored is a good thing but it has its drawbacks. Like many archers, you work hard at getting your equipment just right to help you shoot well. Once U.S. Archer Inc. 36th Anniversary

you are sponsored, a lot of times you will need to switch equipment once a new product comes out. After all, you are to promote what is the hot item, not yesterday’s product. This can be frustrating and it does take a lot of time for the archer to learn all about the new product and what it takes to make the product perform. The top archer has little time between outdoors and indoors now. Thus, it becomes a bigger challenge to make the change, get the product working and keep winning. Many if not most manufac­ turers appear to become your best friend. That usually gives you a false feeling of loyalty from the company. Although the company does like you and even love you when you win a big event, they can and will drop you real quick when there is a new winner on top. One of the most important piec­ es of advice I can give to a good shooter is to treat the company as a business not your friend. Make sure that both, you and the com­ pany get full advantage out of the sponsorship. You need to expect to provide information, sugges­ tions and act professionally at all times in order to keep the spon­ sorship going. You also need to win. If you have been winning for a period of time and start to lose, that is when the company will start looking elsewhere and their friendship will drop drastically in terms of financial support. This hurts from the sponsored shoot­ er’s standpoint because they really thought there was more to it than just dollars. They think that the company has become family. That is not the case and unfortunately, many top archers are stunned to find out just how unimportant they really are once they start losing and the company is chasing after the next winner. It is a business and the archer should treat it as such. It is ok to be friends while being sponsored but just remem­ ber you become an enemy if you switch sponsors. This friendship is a false illusion that you must overcome if you want to stay in

the competitive world for long. I have always remembered from one top company president who stated that he paid for loy­ alty and that is what you should keep in mind if you want to get in­ volved in the sponsorship world. It takes a lot of time and effort to get to a high level of performance. Make sure you spell out what you expect from the company if possi­ ble. Most companies have a for­ mal contract that you will need to sign. I suggest you review it and even have someone else read it, like your lawyer, and make sure it is one you are willing to live with. You can negotiate. Just remember that both parties need to get some­ thing out of the agreement. If you sign a contract you must be able to promote enough to pay for the equipment sales and for the com­ pany to make some money. If not, the agreement will not last very long. How you promote the com­ pany, how you promote yourself and how you promote your sport becomes very important. Just remember that if you lose the agreement, it is not per­ sonal. It is business. There are very few companies in the archery world that are in the business to be

friends. They just want to be suc­ cessful, make money and grow. As an archer, you should only con­ sider products that you believe in and that you are comfortable with the company. Even if you become friends with an associate of the company, that associate may not be there tomorrow, so you have to make sure you can live with the contract and the company. One final suggestion to those who want to be a part of pro­ gram always let the sponsor know if you are changing to another company. This can be in a form of letter or email. It is not very pro­ fessional if you just switch over to a company without informing the prior company. No matter how poorly the company treated you, keeping it professional and con­ siderate will allow you to contin­ ue on for many years to come with other companies. Respect is a lot of hard work but easily lost if not careful. Don’t forget that the most important part of this is that you enjoy shooting your bow and help others to enjoy if possible. It can truly be a lifetime sport if you can keep it positive.

Happy Shooting!

At the Las Vegas shoot, one of the archers 1 coached was having some problems and his arrow groups were opening up well past the acceptable range. I approached him and said, “You aren’t shooting your normal shot.” He replied, “I know. Nothing feels right.” I then suggested, “Go to the back of the room and start shooting the shot without the bow in your hands. Concentrate and try to duplicate the feeling of the perfect shot.” He did and veiy soon his groups tightened up. To produce a tight group, an archer must execute every shot with the same form. Quite often it is easier and more successful for one to work on duplicating the feeling of the perfect shot rather than the form itself. There are times you shoot an arrow and you know it is in the ten ring the instant it leaves the bow. The shot just feels perfect. That’s the same feeling you should try to achieve in practice. If you can learn to duplicate that feeling, then you have also duplicated the best form which you are capable of producing.

Blank bale shooting is the best place to start mastering this process. Stand close to the target butt and shoot with your eyes closed. Stay relaxed and focus on the muscles used to execute the perfect shot. As the feeling of the shot becomes stronger, focus on duplicating the feeling. Once you are comfortable with your ability to recreate the feeling, start shooting with your eyes open. When you have mastered that step, put up a target and see if you can do it when attempting to hit the mark. If you have trouble, shoot one arrow at the target and one arrow at the butt. Continue going back and forth until the two shots feel the same. Once this is accomplished, try to get the same feeling while shooting without the bow in your hands. Feel yourself pulling the imaginary bow apart and the explosion of the shot. Duplicating this feeling of the perfect shot without the bow in your hands will be a valuable tool to use when you find yourself becoming tense. The next time your shot just isn’t working, remove the bow from your hands and concentrate on the felling of good form. This not only improves your actual form, but also redirects your focus on perfect shot execution.

We made it. ..the last stop of the 2018 ASA Pro/ Am Tour in Cullman, Alabama!!! ASA announced their partnership with new­ ly-formed Competition Archery Media (CAM). CAM is the latest brain-child of Lancaster owner and President, Rob Kaufold and his family and staff, and includes members of the team that annually brings you the Lancaster Archery Classic. Throughout the weekend, CAM kept competitors, spectators and fam­ ilies back home up-to-date with preliminary scoring rounds for the Pros, aired recaps of each day’s activi­ ties and rounds, held interviews with top finishers and full coverage of the Pro Pressure Point Shootdown. They also provided a wrap-up show after the tourna­ ment was completed. As I understand, Competition Archery Media’s goal is to cover and report on all styles and formats of competition archery, providing unbiased interviews and endorsements. We can’t wait to see what they have in store for the industry. We wish you the best of luck! And we’ll definitely be seeing CAM on the 2019 ASA Pro/Am Tour. Thank you for your efforts and support!!! Another warm, humid weekend in the forecast for the final ASA event of the season...and after two preliminary rounds, the pros readied for the Pro Pres­ sure Shootdown.

Andy starts out with a five and a couple of 8s, and is unable to keep any momentum going to make any headway towards 1 st place. Larry throws in a 12 and 14 throughout his five shots and Michael sticks three 12s of his own. Down to the 6th and final arrow, with 1 Os for Michael and Larry, Brian only needs a 10 as well to take the top spot on the podium. He shoots and makes it look easy...scoring a center 10!

The shootdown starts off with lots of 10s all around for the top five...Brandon takes a 12 on his 2nd target and Chris scores a 12 on his 3rd. Jack sticks a 14 on his 3rd target, the McKenzie Russian Boar. Levi continues with 10s and a 12 heading into the 6th and Final arrow, trying to keep his challengers at bay. Down to the 6th and final arrow, Danny, Chris, Brandon and Levi are still in it. Danny shoots first, attempting a 14, but hits just out for an eight. Chris nails a 12, attempting to add a bit of pressure on Levi, however, Levi only needs to hit the target to take the win home. He shoots, he scores a 10!

Capable of up to 50 World Archery sized lanes at 18 meters/20 yards, or 36 World Archery' sized lanes at 70 meters/78 yards, this new space fea­ tures indoor and outdoor ranges as well as an in-house Pro Shop. “There is a lack of great ar­ chery spaces in the Southwest, and the weather here gives us a lot of freedom to do things both indoors and outdoors all year round.” stated PSE founder Pete Shepley. “Our first tournament was a heck of a success, but our plans for this new archery center are just begin­ ning. We'll keep improving it year after year to make sure it fits the needs of the sport.” The Southwest Indoor Ar­ chery Collegiate Championships was the inaugural open Star F1TA event held at the Pete Shepley Ar­ chery Center, and it was a resound­ ing success. Featuring a world-record breaking performance from shooter Cooper French, this event included college clubs from the University of Arizona (host club), Arizona State University, Grand Canyon University, and North­ ern Arizona University, as well as non-collegiate shooters. Competitors in attendance including Cooper French (2018 USA Archery Indoor/Outdoor Ca­ det Compound Champion), Brady Ellison (3-time Olympic Medalist for Team USA), Toja Ellison (For­ mer Women’s Compound World Champion from Slovenia), Alex­ is Ruiz (2018 Vegas winner), and Spencer Yee (former Pan Ameri­ can Compound and USA Archery Indoor National Champion). All 30

Cadet Men’s Compound division champion, Cooper French shows his World Record of597performance targets to PSE’s Archery Center’s owner Pete Shepley competitors are also members of their home country’s national team. By the time the dust had settled, Cooper French had bro­ ken the Indoor World Record for Cadet Compound Men, beating out the prior world record by one point. According to Steven Yee, Event Coordinator for the Pete Shepley Archery Center, this re­ cord breaking performance is only the beginning. “I’m very proud to have a world record broken in our inau­ gural tournament. It shows that the Pete Shepley Archery Center

is a world class center capable of holding world level events, and the fact that we were able to break an indoor world record proves that. Congratulations to Cooper for an outstanding achievement!” More information about the final event is here: https:// sgaalumni.org/socal-indoor-archery-collegiate-championship/2019/1/19/2019-siacc For more information about the Pete Shepley Archery’ Center, visit www.archeryeventcenter.com or contact Steven Yee at steveny@pse-archery.com U.S. Archer Inc. 36th Anniversary

Rinehart Continues to be Official 3D Target for the NASPO/IBO 3D Challenge Plus Will Provide Annual Education Scholarships

3D archery target innovator Rinehart Targets has announced its renewed partnership with the National Archery in Schools Pro­ gram (NASP®) for the next five years. Specifically, the brand will continue to be the official spon­ sor and supplier of 3D targets for the NASP®/1BO 3D Challenge as well as provide an education scholarship for the NASP Annual Scholarship Fund. “Supporting organizations who share our passion for con­ necting youth to the sport of ar­ chery and inspiring an affinity for the outdoors is at the forefront of importance for our company,” said President, James McGovern of Rinehart Targets. “We’re extreme­ ly proud to once again be the of­ ficial target of the NASP®/IBO 3D Challenge and look forward to seeing young shooters take aim at Rinehart Targets at these events for the next five seasons,” he add­ ed. The NASP®/IBO 3D Chal­ lenge allows NASP students to partake in a more ‘realistic’ experi­ ence featuring targets that replicate animals they’d encounter in the field. From turkeys and coyotes to bears and whitetail deer, the course hosts multiple ranges featuring life-like versions of bowhuntings greatest trophies. Last year, 4,122 youth from across the country par­ ticipated in the NASP®/1BO 3D Challenge, which secured a record for the largest 3D archery tourna­ ment in terms of participation. In addition, Rinehart Targets has committed to providing an an­ nual scholarship to the NASP® Scholarship Fund, which awards cash scholarships for higher ed­ ucation to shooters who place at the NASP World Tournament. Just under two million student archers 34

participate in archery competitions outside their school and about 15,000 of these students make it through local, regional and state or provincial (Canada) tournaments to the NASP® Nationals. “These kids work so incredibly hard at their skills, and we’re happy to not only play a role of assisting them on the range, but to have the abili­ ty to impact their future financial­ ly is something we’re truly proud of,” McGovern added. For close to two decades, Rinehart Targets has remained at the cutting edge of archery target design, crafting the most lifelike and durable targets in the indus­

try. With hundreds of different fun and functional targets created, the company employs its exclu­ sive solid self-healing foam and patented locking inserts, making its targets ideal for repeat use for practice and tournaments, includ­ ing official NASP® targets in its competition series. In addition to its partnership with NASP, the company is also proud to be the official 3D target for the Interna­ tional Bowhunters Organization (IBO), the Organization of Pro­ fessional Archery (OPA), the Red­ ding Team Shoot and the 3DA Eu­ ropean Circuit and a proud partner of World Archery and the NFAA.

Scholastic 3-D Archery announces New S3DA Texas State Coordinator

ARCHERY ------------

Laura Shambaugh & family

Williamsburg, KY - Scholastic 3-D Archery has name Laura Shambaugh (former S3DA Michigan State Coordinator) as the new S3DA Texas State Coordinator. Laura was bom and raised in Central Illinois, but currently resides in Sugar Land, Texas with her husband Jason, whom she has been married to for 18 years and has 5 beautiful children with: Sarah, Tyler, Matthew, Hunter and Wyatt. Laura and her family have been shooting competitive archery for some time now. Laura has a very busy schedule between shooting when she gets the chance, homeschooling, founding homeschooling co-ops, helping run two construction businesses, and starting and running different non-profits. She has built the foundations of as well as ran several 501c3 Homeschool co-ops that focus on elective style classes, giving youth the opportunity to learn together in hands-on settings. She has focused on bringing into play a variety of classes that youth can experience hands-on with outdoor education, art, sciences, physical education and other learning environments that are beneficial as a group. Shambaugh enjoyed spending time with her family, fishing, and being on the river as a young

girl. She was introduced to archery at Girl Scout camp and introduced to target archery by Shelley Saxwold and Randall Wellings of Straightline Archery in Ishpeming, Michigan. Shambaugh’s introduction to the hunting world came through her husband and a membership with the National Wild Turkey Federation. She received her very first bow as a gift from her husband and her passion for archery continues to grow. LeavingMichiganS3DAas the State Coordinator was a very hard decision for Shambaugh. She gained lots of great experience from her local shop and earned her S3DA Advanced Archery Instructor Trainer and USA Archery Level 3 Certifications. Shambaugh formed the Michigan S3DA 501c3, updated the S3DA Michigan Facebook page quite regularly, and improved communications with coaches and clubs all while being the S3DA Michigan State Coordinator. In the 2018 season, Michigan S3DA was able to host for the Is' time, all three S3DATarget competitions at the regional AND state levels. Before leaving Michigan, Shambaugh made it a priority to form a Board of Directors to assist in maintaining the growth of the state program. Laura Shambaugh became a part of S3 DA because she saw the way it can touch children’s lives. S3DA was a natural addition to the Shambaugh family, as S3DA bridges the hunting and target archery communities, opening the door on both sides to experiences and opportunities that children may not have had before. Shambaugh saw that S3DA was the perfect fit sport-wise for homeschoolers. She feels that S3DA provides time for families to be together and is a sport that you will not outgrow. Shambaugh states, “When the “traditional” school sports end for most children, our archers are moving into larger competitive fields. They are using the skill of archery in competitions and afield throughout the rest of their lives. I have seen this sport change so many lives and watched children who could not play a traditional sport, thrive at archery! Watching the kids grow in archery and being able to help them become part of something that changes their lives is such a blessing.” Shambaugh contributes the S3 DA success to passionate leadership and coaches that have helped the program grow exponentially across the country. Laura Shambaugh states, “Though I am not an accomplished hunter, I have spent many hours in the tree stands mentoring our sons and other youth in hunting. I have always found myself more excited to see them take their own deer or game, than the importance of me doing so. Archery has always intrigued me. I look forward to seeing amazing growth in Texas S3DA in the coming year”. U.S. Archer Inc. 36th Anniversary

Scholastic 3-D Archery (S3DA) names Stephanie Rustad Oregon State Coordinator Montana State University and received a degree in Business Management with a minor in Small Business Management and Entrepreneurship. Rustad joined the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife crew and moved to Oregon in October. Rustad grew up in Northwest Washington and started bowhunting with her dad at the age of 12. Rustad became interested in archery when her dad asked her to go hunting with him at a young age. His entire life he had hunted with rifles, but Stephanie told him she did not like the bang of the

gun, so she was going to Bowhunt. Neither Stephanie, nor her dad had ever shot a bow before, but soon became hooked. At 13, Rustad shot her first elk with her bow and it was an experience she said she would never forget. Stephanie Rustad states, “I have a well-rounded archery background from not only bow hunting, but also shooting competitively, working in an archery shop throughout high school, and running an archery club. I look forward to continuing to grow archery and bowhunting participation in the State of Oregon”.

Archery: Think and Shoot Like a Champion Stephanie Rustad Louisville, KY - Scholastic 3-D Archery has named Stephanie Rustad as the S3DA Oregon State Coordinator.

Scholastic 3-D Archery (S3DA) Names Florence Gleason as Florida State Coordinator

ARCHERY ------------

Florence and Russ with their students

Williamsburg, KY - Scholastic 3-D Archery has named Florence Gleason as the new S3DA Florida State Coordinator. As the State Coordinator, Florence will oversee all aspects of the S3DA program in Florida, including tournaments, trainings and the division of the state into regions that will allow S3DA participants multiple monthly competition venues with minimal travel. Florence will recruit and hire Regional Coordinators to oversee and manage these individual regions. Florence has been married to Russ Gleason since 2016 and they have 4 children, 2 girls and 2 boys with 5 grandchildren. Both Russ and Flo are active in various archery programs including the Archery Shooters Association (ASA) and Traditional Bow Hunters of Florida (TBOF) along with volunteering for Girl Scouts of America, where they work with girls to get their badges for archery. Florence and her husband are very excited to expand opportunities of the S3DA program in Florida. Florence Gleason was introduced to archery in the summer of 2012 by her husband Russ, who spent most of his life in the woods or on the water enjoying the nature at its fullest. Russ has shot several different disciplines besides archery. He has shot a compound bow most of his life until roughly 3 years ago when

Florence and Russ Gleason he switched to a traditional bow. Florence and Russ believe that archery can be a family sport to get everyone involved in and have fiin and enjoy the outdoors together. Florence stated, “Being versatile with different bows allows us to teach and promote what fits for the family as a whole or for the child that the parents can enjoy watching him/her shoot.” In 2016, Russ and Florence started teaching their oldest grandson to shoot a traditional bow. They never thought that it would lead to teaching children in their community the same love for the outdoors, discipline, sportsmanship, leadership and confidence that their grandson Anthony learned. Russ Gleason states, “So many kids do not do well with team sports, but individual sports give them a place to shine. Being able to pull the string back and shoot an arrow right into the target on one’s own gives a child a great sense of accomplishment at having done this thing themselves. We love being a part of that.” Florence and Russ both started in 2014 as S3 DA Basic Instructors, so when they were at local shoots they could help with the children. In 2017, they created a S3 DA team out of Fort Caroline Archery Club. This past year they have grown that group to over 15 kids and look to increase the team to over 25 in 2019. Florence and Russ are excited for the kids to learn archery. As they have worked with many children over the past few years, seeing a child’s expression when they hold a bow, pull back an arrow, and hit the target is priceless. Florence and Russ state, “We feel that we are extremely blessed to have the opportunity to share our hobby and love for archery with others. We look forward to assisting S3 DA on a National level to grow as we lead more kids in Florida to archery.” U.S. Archer Inc. 36th Anniversary

QDMA &S3DA Hosts 2nd annual National Archery Youth Hunt

way to introduce young folks into safe, ethical bowhunting than to provide them an opportunity to hunt with some of biggest experts in archery and deer hunting. I am so proud of our S3 DA students and it is truly remarkable to see how they are transitioning through our program, not just with archery, but with their lives”. “Our goal with the S3DA/ QDMA National Archery Hunt is to create a model that can be replicated in nearly every archery club in the nation,” said QDMA CEO Brian Murphy. “It’s about those who know how to Bowhunt inviting, teaching and taking those interested in learning - it’s really that simple!” QDMA and S3DA Hunt Photo Williamsburg, KY - The Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA) and Scholastic 3-D Archery (S3DA) partnered up to offer the 2nd annual National Archery Youth Hunt. This hunt provided children the opportunity of a lifetime with some of the foremost experts in archery and bowhunting. QDMA and S3DA hosted this fun-filled and educational four-day hunt, October 31s1 through November 3rd, 2018, at Pape’s Victoria Crossroads. S3DA featured some special activities provided by Pope & Young and QDMA during the S3DA 3-D National Championship. These special activities consisted of a ten-target range available for S3DA student/ parent teams. Every student/parent team that participated was entered in a drawing for a Kentucky Whitetail hunt. The three finalists, plus the two S3 DA student/parents’ teams that were selected were: • Madison Cox mentored by Jennie Richardson, J.C Nock Archery - Kentucky 52

• Hailey Wilson mentored by Grace Heavner, Wiregrass Archers - Alabama • Nathan Kahl mentored by John Eastman, Blazin Arrows Wisconsin • Chase/Kevin Anderson mentored by Brian Murphy, Impact Archery - Kentucky • Dayne/Scott Bennett mentored by Scott Bennett, SOI Archery - Louisiana

QDMA Senior Director of Operations, John Eastman said, “The future of hunting depends on introducing new people to the outdoors. For many target archers the desire to Bowhunt is a natural progression, and QDMA is thrilled to partner with S3DA to help provide the training and knowledge necessary to transition from the range to the field.”

“The purpose of this program is to get youth involved in archery and ethical conservation practices,” says Jennie Richardson, Executive Director of S3DA. “1 cannot personally think of a better

S3DA started in December 2012 by the Scholastic Archery Association, S3DA has grown exponentially as a next step program to follow introductory programs offered as part of 4-H or the National Archery in Schools Program.

Western State NASP® Student Archers Are Invited! By: Brittany J Jones NationalArcheryin the Schools Program

The National Archery in the School’s Program (NASP®) is ex­ cited to invite archers and archery' teams from participating NASP® schools, and friends and family to the 2019 Western Nationals. The tournament will take place April 26-27 at the Salt Lake City Expo­ sition Center, Salt Lake City, Utah. This event began in the spring of 2018 to allow archers and their families who reside out west, a more convenient and accessible way to attend and participate at the national tournament. Kentucky has been the host to the national tour­ nament since NASP®’s inception back in 2002, and as attendance increased, participation capacity at the Kentucky Expo Center was exceeded. This capacity challenge was another reason to initiate the

western tournament. Roy Grimes, CEO and President of NASP® says, “We have committed to and scheduled the “NASP® Western Nationals” for another three years in Salt Lake City. It is our hope this tournament will be hugely popular with NASP® schools in the Western U.S. and provide op­ portunity for thousands to partic­ ipate in this “culminating event” that otherwise would not.” Spectators and partici­ pants, who attend this year’s west­ ern event, can expect the same range set up and guidelines from past tournaments. Individual and team awards will be presented just like at the eastern tournament, including: lsl-5Ih place individu­ al boys and girls, 1 st-3rd place teams, overall and overall run­ ner-up boys and girls. The high­ est-ranking boys and girls will be invited to the scholarship shootoff for S179,000 worth of scholar­ ship money at the NASP® Open & Championship this summer in Nashville, Tennessee, July 25-27, 2019. Additionally, students who attend the “western” may also

qualify for the “Open & Cham­ pionship” to be held in Nashville, TN. Project Director, Kevin Dixon is excited to see this coming year’s turnout. “The first NASP® West­ ern National Tournament, we saw students from over thirty schools participate for the first time in a national event. We look forward to growing the NASP® Western National over the next three years and providing this great opportunity to an ever increasing number of new schools and students. Thank you to the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources for helping NASP® make this event possible.” Individual archers and ar­ chery teams who advance from their state level tournament can register online at www.nasptoumaments.org. Preregistration begins March 11-29, 2019 and Registration begins April 4, 2019. NASP® looks forward to a re­ cord-breaking turnout this spring!

Bovvhunting Western Kentucky by B. Howard Coffey

Bowhunting Western Kentucky by B. Howard Coffey

“Be still and know that I am God. ” The 2018 bow season for deer and turkey began in western Kentucky on September 2. The weather has been unseasonably warm even for the first 12 days of October. Mosquitoes large enough to shoot and fillet have kept me out of the woods. Deer ticks continue to search for blood to hatch their eggs. I’m not willing to give them mine. However, things are beginning to cool down. Daytime highs in the 50s and lows in the low 40s. Now is the time to begin bowhunting for me. Last weekend was the youth hunt, early muzzle loader deer season. A 13 year old lad in our church killed a 14 pointer. Real nice rack! I have heard of only a few good deer that have been

killed with a bow so far. The deer haven’t been moving until late evenings and before daylight of the mornings. Simply too hot. Most of the com and soybeans have been harvested except where I hunt. Most likely the beans will be harvested there this week. Can’t wait to grab my bow and hunt some. I have seen two really good bucks in the edge of the woods where 1 hunt. There are always good deer there, but I really think they scout me and know my truck. At least it seems that way to me. Hope you are getting the urge to bow hunt, too. Do be careful and make sure of your target before you send an arrow or bullet down range. No accidents, please! In all the vast woodlands, fields, rivers and lakes, God’s hand can be seen. I love to sit in

my stand and watch as the small animals scurry about laying in store food for the coming winter. Every night just before dark, a big, fox squirrel makes his way along the drain to a downed tree that stretches across the running water. He crosses the drain on the log, climbs a small tree on the opposite bank and jumps onto the big oak with a den in the forks of limbs way up. Not long afterwards, I will hear the leaves crunching, get excited and grab my bow only to be disappointed as a fat ground hog waddles through the leaves to his den beside the drain. Everything getting ready for the night, and I stand hoping that Mr. Big will come along. Although he hasn’t so far, it may not be too long before he does.

As always, shoot straight with your bow and your life.

USA Archery Certifies Record Number ofNew Level 4-NTS Coaches

DEC. 14, 2018, Chula Vista, CA - USA archery education and training manager Guy Krueger and National Head Coach Kisik Lee led two level 4-NTS (14-NTS) coach certifi­ cation courses two at the easton archery center of excellence in the last few weeks. These week-long courses take level 3-NTS education further to focus on coaching, communication, sports science in archery, and biomechanics with a large emphasis on the national training system (NTS). The course also focuses on developing coaching ability through practical exercises and scenarios. To complete the course and eam the certification, coaches must meet several requirements including passing a written exam, a practical exam and completing two mental management courses. L4-NTS coaches are eligible to apply for international team staff positions, national development programs and are highly sought out as knowledgeable archery resources around the nation. A record 37 coaches earned the 14NTS certification status, and six current 14-NTS coaches attended the courses as a refresher. A record number of female coaches attended the 14-NTS course this year, which was in large part thanks to a generous grant from the easton sports de­ velopment foundation provided to give selected female coaches the opportunity to develop as high level coaches. Mandy Griego, one of the recipients of the grant said, “the 14-NTS coach course has trans­ formed my coaching skills! I un­ derstand the complexities of the shot process and shot cycle at such a deep level now. From the first week with my team after the 58

course, was able to see and cor­ rect issues I hadn’t noticed before. This has really increased my con­ fidence as a coach!” Hoyt research and devel­ opment technician Chris Webster attended the November 1 4-NTS coach course and said, “USA ar­ chery has done a fantastic job with the level 4 coaching course. From the guest speakers and practical exercises to the detailed informa­ tion covered. This was a really en­ joyable experience and i learned so much. 1 would definitely rec­ ommend this course to everyone.” USA archery’s Guy Krueger shared his excitement for the par­ ticipants: “our goal for each lev­ el 4 course is to develop better coaches. We want to produce the best coaches in the world. We saw every single coach improve drasti­ cally over the span of a week.” He added: “1 also want to add a spe­ cial thanks to Linda Beck and Eric Tollefson for being such a big part of the course. We could not have done it without them.”

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado - US A Archery partnered with Disabled Sports USA to update the 2nd Edition Adaptive Archery Instruction Manual.

This partnership is a part of Disabled Sports USA’s Adapt2Achieve program, which aims to strengthen and develop community-based sports programs through adaptive sports training and education initiatives. The 2nd Edition manual, available for free download, features a new layout and design and has been updated to better accompany the USA Archery Level 1 Instructor program.
