WHY CHOOSE PSE My new Infinity series of bows will change the way you think about performance bows and their shootabihty

Pete Shepley President Precision Shooting Equipment

TECHNICAL SUPERIOR TY I started with the concept of a machined riser that would be priced within reason and still offer all the PSE features that a consumer deserves. The SR riser was the first in this series offering increased Cen ter Elite clearance and precise CF compatibility. Being machined from 6061T aluminum gave it strength along with a design that was verified by Finite Stress Analysis. The next riser to roll off the production line was a lightened version of the SR with smaller - I ergonomic proportions and available in ___ shorter draw lengths down to 23". Our ? Infinity LD riser is a longer version •—~(-j with deflexed design featuring a lowered grip and rest location like the other Infinity risers. It's what we call

our "center line design." The SR-1000, SR-500, SRL-500, LD-300 bows all feature the PSE patented molded Magnaglass/Graphite limbs with con stant cross section design formula for extended durability. The Infinity risers all feature limb pockets with floating half round bearings. All of these features contribute to make the Infinity one of the most dependable performance bows available today. I'm especially proud of our Synergos (Pat. Pend.) grip which adjusts laterally to provide tuning capabilities beyond that of centershot adjustment, a new dimension in tuning. All Infinity bows, aside from LD-2000 and LD-300, use the high performance Synergy III eccentrics which provide more power to each

shot by increasing the peak weight duration of the power stroke. Synergy Ill's also offer choice of cabling options; pigtail, Fast Cam style or all Synthetic Harness and string. You'll find Syn ergy's to be smooth and positive during the draw and on the shot. Cosmetically, we’ve never offered any more attractive product. New hard anodized colors for the competitor and new Rhino type 3

anodizing in matte finish. I'm proud of our Infinity bow line and I invite you to take a good look at the advantages they offer. I guarantee you’ll be pleased.

IN REMEMBRANCE OF FRIEDA D. HOFF

Frieda Dorothy Hott, 95, left us on Tuesday. December 21.1993 at Glenwood Estate nursing home in Independence. Kansas Mrs. Hoff was the wile of the late Roy Hoff and together they founded and published Archenr Magazine for a twenty-live year period until they transferred ownership to the NFAA in 1969. Frieda Hoff was bom November21,1898 in Paulina. Iowa, to Charles and Johanna (Lindeman) Hoppe. She attended school in Montrose, Colorado. The two were happily married on January 23,1923 in Los Angeles and moved Io Palm Springs in 1952. Following Roy’s death in 1985, Mrs Hoff moved to Greenfield, Missouri, to be with her daughter, Beverly Crowell, and two granddaughters. In 1989. the

Crowell family moved to Independence, Kansas. where Frieda remained until her final moments on this earth. Frieda will be remembered by many as Roy's loving wife and partner. She will also be remembered as one of the best cooks and most generous guest entertainers anyone has ever known. Their long list of close fnends include hundreds and hundreds of archery dignitaries and business associates. Amongst those that were fortunate to have known the Hoffs as close family friends were the Michelsons. Palmatiers, Eastons. Fred Bears. Howard Hills. Brammers, Haugens. Klopstegs, Hoyts. Fosters, Eicholtzs, Richs, Jennings. Rube Powells. Rhodes and scores of others including the Hathaways of Banning, California. During the early part of the Hoffs marriage, Frieda and Roy participated in rifle competition and excelled in big bore and small bore competition Following a fishing trip to the Oregon Rogue River in 1937, Roy became intrigued with the sport ol archery and made his first bow and arrow upon his return to Los Angeles. Soon after. Frieda and Roy joined the Malibu Archery Club and became active and respected archery competitors in their own rights. In 1943. Roy and Frieda published the California Bowman Hunter tabloid that led to the founding of Archery Magazine in February ol 1944. The popular Archery Magazine soon became the official publication of the NFAA Frieda worked diligently alongside her talented husband and contributed to the magazine by doing all the proof reading and secretarial work

during the inception of the magazine. As the magazine gained popularity and grew, they hired Ruth Hathaway as executive secretary, who continued working alongside Frieda until 1969 Both of the Hoffs served the sport ol archery above and beyond the call of duty Roy was a key figure in obtaining a bowhunting season for the state of California and also took active part in the administrative side of the sport of archery Working closely together, Roy and Frieda were fundamental in purchasing the NFAARedlands property while Roy was acting secretary of the NFAA. According to religion and our belief in God. Roy and Frieda are together once again May their "endless love" for each other and their love for archery continue in heaven as it did here on earth. Dearest Frieda, known to us as "mom", we will miss you so very, very much ... Freddie and Eva Troncoso P.S.: On December 24,1993 there was another loss to the Hoff family. Beautiful Cindy Lee Crouch. 35, granddaughter to Roy and Fneda. lost her battle for life to cancer and passed on to join her "Nana" Frieda in Heaven. Surviving Cindy are her mother Beverly, her sister Cathy, husband Mike, daughter Jessica (8) and son Jacob (7) If you wish to contact Beverly Crowell (Hoff). you may reach her by writing or calling direct Her address is: Beverly Crowell Rt. 3 Box 550 Independence, KS 67301 Phone (316)331-6233

” I thought I held the EDGE on my wife. Then she PULLED out a new X7 Eclipse.’”’ s husband and wife, world champion archers Terty and Michelle Ragsdale share a lot

of things. But until recently, the Easton X7 Eclipse arrow wasn’t one of them. "I noticed Michelle

was consistently outscoring me in practice,” Terry explained. ”1 couldn’t understand it. We were having about the

same success in tournaments. We were putting in the same amount of practice. And we were using the same Easton arrows. Or so I thought. One day at

the practice range. I discovered she'd recently picked up the new Easton X7 Eclipse. It’s the straightest

(±0.001”). strongest (105,000 psi) aluminum target shaft in the world.

And the new, ultra-precise UNI

Nock System adds even more to the accuracy of the X7 Eclipse.

CHECKPOINTS FOR WINNING ARCHERY PART THREE - AIMING AND HOLDING By FREDDIE TRONCOSO P.O. BOX 1906 MONTROSE, CO 81401 Before proceeding with Part Three pertaining to the all important elements of ‘AIMING AND HOLDING*, we will briefly discuss a carry-over section from my previous article pertaining to Bowstring Alignment that did not receive any mention and is a very real and important part of the aiming process. PROPER STRING ALIGNMENT (From Part Two) Proper and consistent bowstnng alignment plays a vital and important role in shooting archery as does a positive and exacting anchor point. To explain the difference between the two. precise string alignment refers to visual and exacting alignment of the bowstring with reference to the edge of the bow sight window that by doing governs and controls the left/right or vertical strike pattern of the archer's arrows. The anchor point, for clarification purposes, refers to a reference point or area on the face that the stnng hand is brought to and rested at full draw. In an effort to achieve and apply perfect bowstring alignment for each and every shot. most top world class archers either blur and align the bowstring alongside the edge of the sight window or will visually superimpose the blurred string over the aiming bead or sight reticle. Simultaneously, proper bowstring alignment ascertains positive alignment of the shooters head. eye. and bowsight, thus, providing the desired consistency necessary for precise arrow placement and ten-ring shooting. INTRODUCTION TO AIMING AND HOLDING For most marksmanship sports including riflery, pistol shooting, air guns, crossbows, and archery, shooting well by use of proper AIMING is completely governed by three requirements that all shooters must apply in order to hit the target on a regular and consistent basis. First. we must locate the target. Secondly, we must visually impose and place the sight on the target. And thirdly, it is imperative that we maintain our sight on the target during the course of firing or releasing the bowstnng

CHECKPOINT QUESI1QO4 A good question is: ARE YOU ALIGNING YOUR BOWSTRING DURING THE AIMING AND SIGHTING PROCESS? If not. perhaps you had best consider paying attention to this important checkpoint and thus, start improving your straight line shooting and higher scoring as well.

BOWSTRING ALIGNMENT For proper string alignment, visually align bowstring with edge of sight window at full draw when aiming. The string will appear as a blurred image but can still be aligned as shown.

AIMING A thorough review and study of the process of AIMING reveals that AIMING is a very important part of shooting and also a very highly debated subject that is currently perplexing archers due to the differences that exist between and the controversial Internal vs. External approaches related to holding and AIMING. Is it best to be Internal, aim generally and not worry about holding still by disregarding motion? Or. is it best to be External and thus, bear down with great effort and concentration while attempting to minimize motion by trying to hold still on the

Perhaps if we examine the following facts pertaining to External aiming, we can best understand what is meant by this application

TIME PROVEN FACTS RELATED TO STEADIER RIFLE AND PISTOL SHOOTING FACT - Pistol shooters shoot better when holding the gun using the two-handed method FACT - The use of a rille sling and the practice of resting the left elbow against the body greatly minimizes motion and steadies the aiming process when shooting offhand FACT - Placing and resting a pistol or nfle on a sandbag lor bench resting produces unbelievable super-tight shot groups that cannot be duplicated using any other shooting positions. FACT - Placing a pistol or nlle in a shooting vise produces the ultimate and tightest groups ol all1 PROVEN EXAMPLES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO STEADIER AIMING FOR ARCHERY 1. An archer can hold and aim a lighter bow much steadier than when using a heavier weight hunting bow that tends to compress and place undue strain on the archer during the course of aiming and holding. 2. A compound bow is easier to shoot accurately due to the weight reduction feature that makes holding and aiming easier. 3. Archers that rest the bowstring on their chest protector experience much steadier aiming and holding than do archers who clear their bodies completely 4 The use ol "Nama" or "Archers Arm devices affixed to hand held bows produce astonishing accuracy and light groupings.

steadier aiming and the lack of muscular effort required of the shooter. 6. Archers who shoot well without clickers prefer to stay with their method of shooting due to the additional strain required to shoot a clicker. 7. An archery shooting machine is the epitome of mechanical perfection and MOTIONLESS SHOOTING. These machines can actually drive nails at short distances and will group touching arrows at 60 to 80 meters. Again, motion is virtually eliminated when using any shooting machine. You can put any bow into one of these machines and shoot unbelievable groups providing we use a set of matched arrows of equal weight and spine.

Let's Cut the Creep Stream Line™ (Vectran®)

is the only bowstring material that will abso lutely not stretch or creep. Stream Line's superior performance results from the use of a special quality of Vectran lubricated with ML6. A lubricant designed exclusively for Vectran's use in bowstring. To the archer this means, no continual bow adjust ment, quieter shots, rapid vibration dissipation, high arrow speed, and good string life. it's very simple. If you want overall improved performance, - accept no substitutes - Stream Line is the best bowstring material available.

As you can readily conjure, the External approach advocates minimizing motion and movement to an absolute minimum during the course of AIMING and releasing the bowstring. In contrast to this External viewpoint a thorough presentation outlining the Internal approach will be featured in the next upcoming issue of U. S. ARCHER magazine. Watch for this informative article on the Internal approach applied and preferred in the Orient. Make sure not to miss it! HOLDING "INTERNAL APPROACH" By Hardy Ward) Holding, with reference to archery, is best defined as maintaining a fixed position at full draw for the duration of time necessary to center the sight on the target and properly execute the shot. Most will agree that aiming is very important as is considered to be the apex of focused pointing that requires total effort for a specific purpose. Be advised, that HOLDING, isolated and misunderstood, is often subject to further scrutiny and criticism if the action of HOLDING is incorrectly utilized. The erroneous use of HOLDING can sometimes become static in both thought and application. Unfortunately, incorrect use ol HOLDING is exactly what the majority of archers do. They hold and get stuck in a static state of hold tension and needless anxiety. Those afflicted shooters struggle to pull through their clickers and obviously do not use or understand what is meant with reference to the WHOLE FORM in its entirety. To understand proper expansion and resistance to the force held, one must draw. anchor, and get the full range of motion in place

ITM

Bowstring A full range of serving materials and colors are available from:

BCY Fibers Division P.O. Box 466 • South Lyme, CT 06376

while preparing and readying FORM. We then allow this FORM to "come to rest" while HOLDING and awaiting the state of further resistance/expansion that activates the clicker. Analytically speaking, "coming to rest" is the process where resistive expansion and extension is induced. The practice of "coming to rest" can be learned by allowing said FORM to rest while developing and awaiting a conditioned response that internally extends outwardly and activates the shot. Once you learn to develop this method. you realize that there should be nothing strenuous about HOLDING nor should there be anything difficult to achieving continuous expansion as you concentrate on AIMING- To shoot, it's simply pre-draw, draw/anchor. aim. experience outward expansion, "click" and shoot! In summary. I'd like to remind you that "coming to rest" refers to the dynamic process of "settling in" where FORM responds and provides resistance and expansion to the held forces of the bow. In reality, this is nothing more than the body's natural ability of offering support and resistance to a load imposed on the human body. When this happens, a counter action is realized or induced either knowingly or without our knowledge that provides the necessary expansion.

CHECKPOINT QUESTION The questions is: ARE YOU APPLYING THE PROPER USE AND ADVANTAGE OF "COMING TO REST" AS DESCRIBED, TO YOUR SHOOTING? If you are not. perhaps it is time to learn and apply the proven method outlined in this article for your shooting benefit and improved scoring.

I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank Hardy Ward for his input and influence contributed to the HOLDING portion of

this text. Hardy's articles are also featured elsewhere in this issue of U. S. ARCHER. LET US READ. TAKE HEED. AND THUS IMPROVE OUR SHOOTING FOR BETTER ENDS. OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALS AND

SHOOTING, BIOMECHANICS The innate act of the bow and arrow is to shoot straight By HARDY WARD Correct shooting comes with the ability of keeping one's attention focused on the act of shooting itself. Attention is focused on shooting straight and seeing to it that all follows this straight elastic path through one's sense of awareness. Shooting in this text starts with the way one perceives it or approaches shooting through thought. The thought being to shoot straight. With this thought all form comes together to perform the required aclion so to shoot straight and by doing so the straight line of direction offers a presence that establishes a linking relationship with and Io the Whole Shot. Introducing perception behind the skill. Shooting form works best when attention is focused on simply shooting straight. To help one through this phase it is recommended that all efforts along with attention zero in on and point down this straight path between you and the target, just as the instinctive archer will sight down the shaft for alignment to follow. Repeat, once the Whole Form is set up. focus your attention so all presence of form draws to and is pointing down this straight line between you and the target, feel it? Do this repeatedly until your shooting form modifies itself, adapts, and transforms down this straight path. The objective here is to develop and or establish a form that knows it is pointing down this straight line between you and the target and is one in the same with it. With all efforts focused on this aspect of shooting preparation form should be MARCH-APRIL 1994

free to modify itself so it is allowed to adapt to the presence ol Straight the Feeling. With the development or establishment of this form Straight is always present, shooting form develops around it so they incorporate together and shoot as they do. This is a teaching that transcends all methods, styles, or techniques to do with shooting. It is the raw innate fundamental principle of shooting, one first learns how to shoot straight by paying attention to where you are to shoot. How one goes about shooting straight or the style of form is not necessarily the concern of this text. How one goes about shooting in the first place is the content of this text. It is the experience of shooting straight that makes possible further growth and development. Through your direction ol attention you learn to establish yourself in the presence with Straight and shoot as all comes together where you feel the shot to expand straight. Now acquire the true skill of agility while shooting straight Not in a child like manner of simply flinging arrows straight off into the distance but with discipline and consistency, become a biomechanical shooting machine. Learn how if you wish, read on. but remember it's knowledge from a price paid in full. ' Press is best defined and interrupted as a mild pivoting response, natural occurrence in transformation as a constricting action within the Whole Form as it escapes away or escape off. When escaping into a straight line of expanding

forces transferring within FORM, as stated, press. And this is a subject of matter that best works with you following in attention to the Whole Shot. where is straight the feeling? This may also be known as a responding reaction beyond one's efforts to support and may or may not be known as such to the archer, press on. The shoulder girdle of the bow arm does in fact move up. over, and into the drawn forces held, it response to support while at the same moment it's joint sinks lower. Appreciate this, the moment the drawing shoulder begins to contract the body cavity is freed from the bow arm shoulder girdle so to pivot from and or at the point of compression which is responsible for further and deeper constrictions within the Whole Form. Any effort to physical push, pull, or extend would be wrong or antagonistic. The pivoting body cavity motion during this phase of transformation is solely responsible tor the occurence of so called back tension and or what many falsely practice as a tightening up between the scapulas, here too the abdominal muscles become slightly firmer, again a natural reaction without your added influences, nothing to practice here only shared in passing. Biophysics in archery is still on virgin ground, the correct anatomical and biomechanical function of form is as well. A contracting drawing shoulder is FORMS turn on switch, resistance begins to dissipate, enough said.

1993 35TH ALL JAPAN CHAMPIONSHIP NOVEMBER 4-7, 1994 ARCHERY FIELD, TSUMAGOI, KAKEGAWA CITY, SHIZUOKA PREFECTURE REPORT AND PHOTOS BY MASATOSHI SEKI

ALL JAPAN MEN'S CHAMPION MATSUSHITA

ALL JAPAN WOMEN'S CHAMPION ICHIKI

Thirty-five female and sixty-five male archers competed in the Olympic Round that was a first appearance to the national championship of Japan. There was some confusion in the qualification and elimination rounds, but a tournament official gave information on procedure before the final rounds to the quarter finalists. Olympic Round topics, such as disc toss to decide the shooting order, archers shooting alternately and so on. were discussed. Since

many archers never experienced this new system, the brief lecture was very useful for their understanding. One of the highlights in the Olympic Round is that we can expect many upsets will happen and we have actually seen them. Most favorite female Ai Ouchi, second place in the qualification and 20th in the 37th World Championship in Antalya. Turkey two months ago, lost the 1/16 final with a poor 90 points. As she has shot over

1300 in Antalya (that was first time in seven years for Japanese ladies) everyone wanted to see her shooting in the gold medal final. But she vanished in very early stage. A qualification round leader Maki Mochida. Ai's teammate to the World Championship, could not reach the final match, also. She was eliminated by 1 point in the 1/8 final. Reiko Ichiki won the national title again in three years. When she took her first championship in 1990 the Grand FITA Round was introduced instead of the Double FITA that had been adopted many years. She demonstrated that she is very good at a new system of shooting in domestic competitions The problem she should carry out is to shoot over 1300 in the near future. We could see many climaxes in this competition but most exciting one was competed in the male s quarter final by Hiroshi Yamamoto. a qualification round leader, and Koichi Shiota who was placed ninth in the qualification It was a really close game. After nine arrows (third end). Hiroshi led by 1 point. In the Iasi end. Koichi finished to shoot first with a perfect 10. 10. 10. Hiroshi's first two arrows hit 10 and 9 He stood on the edge of a cliff at that moment. He had to shoot 10 to force a shoot off. There was a tense atmosphere in the field and spectators' stand. He shot 9 finally and vanished from field. Another strong favorite, Taka Matsushita, who was fourth in the qualification won the final matches almost without a hitch. He defeated Koichi in the semi final by 3 points and Takeshi Yamashita by 5 points in the gold medal final. We know we should not use "if" in the archery competition but all spectators really desired to see the match with Taka and Hiroshi in the last final. This is the tenth national championship for Taka. ‘This Olympic Round was very lucky for me at any rate," was his real intention for a TV reporter. The compound division was also introduced to the national championship for the first time. Although it was a good news for compound archers, only one female and six males attended First women champion was Kuniko Ohara who shot single FITA with a 1255. Akira Yamada who placed fourth with a 1205 in the qualification won the final match with a 105 on the men's line. Somehow, compound is not very popular and many compound archers like field archery in this country. It will be quite long time before the compound reaches all the aspects of recurve. The following is my personal opinion. I don't know the reason why 70 meter distance was adopted in the final rounds. But to make more exciting match, it is better being shot at 30 meter Spectators could easily watch arrow hitting on the target face and expect full mark of 120 points at the shortest yardage. One of the real pleasures of archery is" 10.10.10" before spectators' eyes We could avoid a case one arrow hits on another by using the treble face.

National Archery Association NEWS FROM THE NAA By Christine McCartney Focus on JOAO! It is gratifying to feature two very active NAA JOAD clubs in this issueBullseye Bandits of N. Port, Flonda and Utah Hot Shots out of Salt Lake City. Both clubs are having a lot of fun with the JOAD program and they are to be commended for their efforts in developing and advancing young archers in our sport. Certainly noted In both articles is one key ingredient to a successful program-volunteers! The NAA is indeed fortunate to have the legions of volunteers that it takes to keep club activities lively and meaningful and we do appreciate it very much. Many thanks to Bobby Koctur and Randi Smith for taking the time to write their inspirational stories. Club leaders everywhere will certainly benefit from their experiences and motivational ideas. All the JOAD club features since we started this idea over a year ago have been a major contribution In circulating ideas, support and information to all involved with JOAD. I think I will combine them all in a small booklet and forward them on to new JOAD club leaders who may need help in organizing and planning their activities or just plain good ole moral support. Could be helpfull Many thanks again to all our JOAD club supporters/promoters for your outstanding work and accomplishments! Be sure to let us know too whenever we can be helpful from this end. Don Branson has done an excellent piece titled MARKETING YOUTH ARCHERY which follows the JOAD club news. The NAA is pleased to print his thoughtful ideas and approach to expanding the sport and thank him very much for taking the time to put the article together. JOAD Training Camps On Line!

The passing of 'I Love Kids" Kle Wheatley will be mourned by all. Her life on the archery kids line scans fifty plus years. As a young women, her family was archery oriented, a weekly event was either competing on the range or participating in archery meetings as a member of Ye Mt Washington Bowmen, The Cincinnati Archers and The National Archery Association. Her life was archery. Her home was filled with personal awards and memorabilia of worldwide travel in support of the U.S. Archery Team. Her petite figure and beautiful silver hair was a familiar and welcome sight at the National Archery and Brown County Open Tournaments. The kids line, with Kle in charge, showed her great love and devotion to our youth. Her no nonsense on the field tempered with love gained her not only the love and respect of the youth, but of the parents as well. She loved talking archery and showing her greeting cards from all over the world from the youth that were part of her line. Both Darrell Pace and Rick McKinney, among other top names in archery, were guided to the adult line with proper attitudes and sportsmanship taught by Kle.

"MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS" Jane Johnson, NAA Archery Commissioner for USOF-’94, has recently reported to the Board of Governors that all preparations tor the Olympic Festival appear to be on schedule.

She worked the kids line atone until I pined her in the late 1970's. She was my mentor. We shared many happy times together on and oft the line. Much of my growth as an official is attributed to Kle. One of her greatest accomplishments was to have been a recognized National Judge and permitted to wear the blue shirt of the official. The coveted Saunders Archery Recognition Award was presented to Kle at the 1991 NAA Banquet by Chuck Saunders for her many years of service to the junior archers. Kle was employed by the John Shillito Company, later known as Lazarus Department Stores. Her career in fine jewelry scanned fifty years. She retired at the age of eighty-four. Yes, Kle is gone but her memory will live on. She was one of a kind. No other can duplicate her. She is already missed and loved by all who came to know her. She is survived by two daughters. Karen Joan Everett of Harrison and Jeanne P. Roberts of Coca. Florida; a son. James L. Wheatley of Rotonda, Florida; 16 grandchildren; and 24 great grandchildren and hundreds, if not thousands. of friends worldwide.

The second NAA Instructor Trainer program was held January 20-23, 1994 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center (USOTC) in Colorado Springs. This session brings lhe total number of Instructor Trainers to 45. The Instructor Trainer program prepares the student to teach Level 1 and Level 2 courses. This network of Instructor Trainers throughout the USA has helped lower the cost of hosting courses and has made the courses more accessible. The number of Level 1 and Level 2 courses almost doubled in 1993 thanks to the efforts of many of these Instructor Trainers. This program was instituted in early 1993. Thirty-nine individuals were contacted and asked to participate in the program. They were flown to Colorado Springs and housed at the USOTC for three days. Current material and information as established by the NAA Coaching Development Committee for instruction of the Level 1 and Level 2 courses was disseminated.

A study was made to determine where the highest demands in the USA were for courses and then potential instructors were contacted to set up a network whereby distance, time and cost would be cut to a minimum, thus cutting course costs. The potential instructors were asked if they would be willing to participate in the Instructor Trainer Program and teach several Level 1 and Level 2 courses for the program each year. We want to thank and congratulate the 29 Instructor Trainers who were actively involved in teaching last year and we look forward to doubling the classes in 1994 as the demand for archery instructors and information increases. THE NAA IS ACTIVELY SOLICITING CLUBS. PRO SHOPS AND CAMPS TO HOST LEVEL 1 AND LEVEL 2 COURSES THIS YEAR. IF INTERESTED, PLEASE CONTACT LLOYD BROWN OR KAREN CEARLEY AT 818-7826445 FOR LEVEL 1 COURSES; CONTACT NANCY E. MYRICK AT 719-578-4681 FOR LEVEL 2 COURSES.

GOT A QUESTION? More frequently asked questions published by the U.S. Olympic Committee. What do the terms "Olympiad" and “quadrennium" mean? The term "Olympiad" designates the period of four consecutive years which begin with Games of the Olympiad and ends with the opening of the following Games of the Olympiad. The Olympiads are numbered consecutively from the first Olympic Games (or 1 st Games of the Olympiad), held in Athens. Greece, in 1896. Even when the Games of the Olympiad are not celebrated or held (as in 1916, 1940 and 1944, due to war), the Olympiad expires four years from the day of its beginning, upon which date a new Olympiad begins. The term Olympiad is not used in conjunction with the Olympic Winter Games, which are numbered only when they are actually held. The U.S. Olympic Committee often refers to this same four-year cycle as the "quadrennium." The USOC is currently in the 1993-1996 quadrennium. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE THE OLYMPIC GAMES (WINTER OR SUMMER) BEEN HELD IN THE UNITED STATES? The United States has served as the host country more than any other country - a total of six times - three times each lor the winter and

summer Olympic Games - and will increase that number to seven overall after holding the Olympic games (or Games of the XXVIth Olympiad) in Atlanta. Georgia, in 1996. St. Louis, Missouri, was the first U.S. city to host the modem Olympic Games in 1904, although Chicago. Illinois, had been the original city selected. In 1932, the U.S. had the honor of hosting both the Hird Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid. New York, and the Games of the Xth Olympiad in Los Angeles. Squaw Valley. California, and Lake Placid hosted the 1960 and 1980 Olympic Winter Games, respectively, while the 1984 Olympic Games were held in Los Angeles, where a record-setting profit was realized. WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO COMPETE IN THE OLYMPIC GAMES? Each competitor (athlete) must be a citizen of the country of lhe National Olympic Committee (NOC) which he or she represents, and must also meet the eligibility requirements of their respective sport's International Federation (IF), in accordance with the Olympic Charter. No competitor in the Olympic Games may allow his or her person, picture or sports performance to be used for advertising purposes during the Olympic Games. The only age limit for competitors in the Olympic Games are prescribed for health and safety reasons in the competition rules of certain IFs, Including bobsled, boxing, diving, equestrian, gymnastics, judo, luge.

soccer, taekwondo, team handball, weightlifting and wrestling. Other than those sports listed above, there are no restrictions among the IFs on an "upper" age limit WHAT IS THE U.S. OLYMPIC FESTIVAL? The multisport event was first held in the summer of 1978 under the name of the National Sports festival. The goal was to provide the USA's Olympic hopefuls a chance to participate in an Olympic-style competition which would showcase their talents. What started out as a four-day event in Colorado Springs in 1978 with approximately 1,900 athletes competing in 29 sports has grown to more than 3,000 athletes participating in 37 sports over a 10-day span in front of sell-out crowds and more than 1,500 members of the media in some cases. Since 1978, the Festival has been held in eight other cities in addition to three appearances in Colorado Springs and has left an impressive list of new sports facilities afterward, opening up more opportunities for both grassroots and elite programs in many different states. The event has also featured many of the USA's finest athletes, including Olympians past and present. In 1985. the event's name was changed to give it the recognition and prestige it has come Io earn over the 13-plus years since it was first held. The 1994 and '95 U.S. Olympic Festivals will be held in St. Louis; and Denver, respectively. The USOF-’93 was held in San Antonio. Texas.

INNOVATION

NEW FITA MEDICAL PROVISIONS Dr. Pavel Jurak, member of FITA's Medical Commission, has recently circulated the following communication to all FITA Member Associations

Dear Friends, At the FITA Congress in Turkey, a new chapter of the FITA CONSTITUTION AND RULES was approved: Chapter 9; Medical Provisions and Doping As an author of the Motion. I take the liberty to give you some explanations concerning the doping. First of all, I would like to say that I do not find the new anti-doping regulations to be extensive. There are some changes, of course, but these changes cannot influence the normal life and behavior of archers. The drugs mentioned in Chapter 9 cannot be used only during the tournament and several days before it. Between the tournaments, the archers can be treated almost in the same way

USOC DRUG HOTLINE 1-800-233-0393 New Hours: 9 a m - 1 pm. Mountain Time • Monday-Friday Information on Banned Substances

MARCH-APRIL 1994

as a non-sporting population tiecause the testing out-of-competition includes only anabolic agents. peptide hormones, diuretics and masking agents - these drugs are banned for many years and there is no problem. Beta-blockers were banned before March 1993 for many years and there is no change. As concerns Antihistamines with major side sedative activity, there are many new medicaments without or with low side sedative activity which can be used for the treatment of an archer. The big change and maybe problem is in the ban on alcohol and drugs which influence the psychic state. I have to repeat that all these drugs cannot be taken only during the competition and several days before it - because they constitute a real doping. Is it good that alcohol was banned? What kind of athlete would be an archer who needed to drink alcohol during the shooting? I hope the new anti-doping regulations will ensure the equal chance for everyone. With best wishes, Dr. Pavel Jurak Czech Archery Association

Matt Faling and Peter Kanans were neck and neck nght down to the wire but Matt came out the winner with a five point lead. Meanwhile, on the Cadet targets the scoring was just as close and they gave our judges Bob and Carol Bitner a lot of exercise with running back and forth for line calls and six gold pins. The Bitners did a great job and we are looking forward to having them judge our State JOAD Indoor in February.

bows and arrows accumulated over the years by myself and my father, my husband Drew and our shop, Broken Arrow Archery Lanes. Inspired by Ann Clark's many articles in THE U.S. ARCHER and by George Chapman of P.S.E.. the four of us promoted the small but ambitious archery dub. Two years ago and 48 members later, the club members voted to go JOAD and to name themselves the Bullseye Bandits. The Bandits give countless archery demonstrations, seminars, and archery classes for the Scouts, Adventure Camps. Schools, and Retirement Parks. Several of the Bandits have developed close friendships with the retirees and it is not unusual to see them shooting side by side at many local and state tournaments. Florida is very fortunate to be the winter home to many seasoned archers and all of us have benefited from their past experiences in this great sport. The Bandits practice outside these days at Knights Trail Park in Laurel Knights Trail is a county run facility managed by John Brown, who has always been very helpfultouswhenit comes to tournament schedules and our weekly practices Shooting outside has been quite a change for the Bandits who were so use to the comforts of an air-conditioned indoor range, but they have come through with flying colors, even in Florida's warmest weather Hosting the State Outdoor JOAD was loads of fun lor the Bandits and quite successful. At Deborah Blum's suggestion, we incorporated the help of the parents so we had quite the cheering section. Sara and Par Reid surprised us with a beautiful banner which was on display the entire weekend. We shot the FITA over a two day period in conjunction with Aripeka Archery Club in Hudson. Bob Bitner, one of our official judges along with Al Carney and other members of Aripeka, set up the entire shooting field -targets and all. They also served a great lunch! These people really know how Io cook and the kids are still talking about it. The second day started out by grouping the archers according to the previous days score.

THE UTAH HOT SHOTS JOAD CLUB By Randi Smith We started in 1983 with Denise Parker. Gavin Mower, Chris Holding, and Justin Jepsen as the Utah Wheelchair Archers' JOAD Club. The club soon became well known throughout the United States. Denise has been our best known shooter but we have had lots of other good ones Justin Hallman, Bryan Petersen, Jason Treft. Chris Killian and Chris Holding However, the mam goal of the Hot Shots has never been to produce top shooters, instead it is to introduce kids to archery, teach them a skill, and make sure they have fun. We have run a lot of kids through our program To people in the East where the population is

more dense, our program would probably seem quite small. But for our area, it is a good sized program and we are very proud of it. We currently have about 60 kids as members of the Hot Shots, although we have more than that who shoot with us. Our membership policy is unique, but we have found that it works for us. We start kids at age 6. though younger ones can join the group alter taking private lessons if we know they understand the safety rules and they have the physical skills. We do beginning lessons on Friday evenings tor recurve shooters, and Wednesday nights for compound shooters They can use our recurve equipment for as long as they want with no additional charge, but compound shooters must have their own equipment. First timers and kids too small to successfully shoot 18 meters come at 6:00. Everyone shoots at 10 meters. Some shooters only come to this class once • to leam safety rules, procedures, and get fitted with equipment. Others, especially 6 and 7 year olds, stay in this class tor an extended period. (When they can shoot 100 points in 10 endsand they think they are ready, they can go to the next class.) The next class is at 7:00, again on Wednesday and Friday nights. In these classes we work on basic form and begin teaching them how to take care of their own equipment. We shoot for achievement patches on the first Friday and last Wednesday of each month.

It's one thing to shoot for perfection. It's another thing to hit it. That's why today's top 3-0 and target archers aim for products like the new IB-1 sight from CHEK-IT It's honed from rugged black anodized aluminum and offers precision features like the BL-900 block assembly, 5" sight bar with micrometer adjustments and 5" extension The CHEK-IT IB-1 sight.

strongly encouraged Io wear white clothes to practice and they can earn achievement patches and other incentives (explained later.) On Monday nights we have "official' Hot Shot practice. We started this out as a night just for advanced shooters, but it has evolved into a night for any of the Hot Shots (and their parents) who want extra coaching or some sehous shooting. We have used Monday night sessions for workshops and presentations also covering topics such as breathing and relaxation (Ed Eliason), tournament preparation (Ed Eliason, Denise Parker and Jay Barrs), youth sports (Dr. Jane Miner), and being a parent/coach (Earl & Valene Parker). We have some incentives and prizes we have integrated into our program. When they reach their "Archer" level, they officially become an advanced archer and they can help the younger archers. At the "Master Archer" level, they receive limb covers for their bow, and they can be part of our "competitive team". They can then purchase a team uniform if they would like to. At the "Expert Archer" level, they receive an Easton sports bag with their name embroidered on it. Finally, at the "Olympian" level, they receive a dozen new arrows and Salt Lake Archery allows them to shoot free until their 18th birthday. Unfortunately, like a lot of other JOAO clubs, we do have trouble keeping the kids who have achieved their Olympian rank active and motivated We're working on it though - and maybe eventually, something will be figured out. We also have some other types of awards. On achievement nights we used to give out 1st. 2nd. and 3rd phzes. However, we found the same kids were always winning so we now use "magic numbers." We list all the scores from high to low and number them, then someone pulls "magic" numbers out of a hat. The people with the lucky numbers get Io choose a prize out of our prize box.

We also give out soft drinks for any "30"s shot during practice or tournaments, and kids can earn "warm luzzies" by helping each other, by being positive, or working hard "Warm luzzies" can be given by the coaches or by other archers, and they have helped our team become much more supportive and friendly. The first time an archer shoots a "30" at a tournament, he or she gets a pin provided to us by Ed Eliason. The pin Is given out during awards, and the archer is reminded that the way to a "30" is "one arrow at a time." The pin is to help them remember to always shoot "one arrow at a time." Parents are a very important part of our program. They are invited to all of our workshops and many shoot along on Monday nights. Our parent committee, headed by Matt Finley and John Thompson, meets once a month. They go over the upcoming schedule, discuss fundraisers. and plan social activities. They are definitely the backbone of our program and we wouldn't survive without them. We do have some exciting events that happen each year. January is a big month for us - we have the Easton Utah Open Archery Tournament and Ski Archery. The Utah Open is held at Salt Lake Archery, sponsored by Easton Aluminum, and the funds raised go to our travel fund. We also do concessions and a 3-D tournament. This year we made over St .500 for the travel fund. Ski Archery is a big event for some of the Hot Shots. Katie and Angie Bartholomew are avid ski archers and are going to be featured in an upcoming issue of National Geographic World In February we head lo Las Vegas for the big tournament there. It's not an official tournament. but we have lots of fun. especially since families come along. The whole month of June is taken up with the Utah Summer Games - first regional, then state competition. Everyone who shoots in the regionals can shoot in the Summer Games, so we get lots of participation. We had about 200 shooters last year. One of the big highlights was the team competition. Each team had four members: one had to be under 18, and one had to be a finger shooter. They also had to wear costumes. We had awards for the highest sconng team, but also the oldest team (we added their ages together), and the best costume. In the fall, things are kind of slow - but we do have a Great Pumpkin Shoot, a Thanksgiving FITA. and a Toys lor Tots tournament. This last year we donated almost $500 worth of toys to Toys for Tots. Whether our shooters go on to competitive shooting or not. we try to encourage a positive self-image, fun. and the learning of a skill. It's important to us that the kids have fun and enjoy their archery experience with the awareness that they can participale throughout their lives.

MARKETING YOUTH ARCHERY by Don Branson, Wheaton, Illinois Every year the National Archery Association (NAA) faces new challenges in the world of international archery competition while foreign archery programs were in their infancy, we were coasting to glory. Now, where we used to dominate events, we struggle to survive the cut. Frankly speaking, the world has caught us with our pants down. If we are to regain the dominance we once enjoyed, we must pursue avenues ol change. For several years I have proposed that an aggressive marketing campaign is the answer lo reaching youth interested in competitive archery. We must take this aggressive posture in certain areas to achieve the growth necessary to maintain our credibility and position in the U S archery community. I would be remiss if I failed to mention the lack of corporate funding for competitive archery The Asian countries receive megabucks from large corporations to fund their programs While we have archery companies who contribute a great deal lo our sponsorships, it is just a drop in the bucket to what other programs receive. A substantial booster shot from Corporate America administered intravenously is what is presently required The NAA and the JOAD (Junior Olympic Archery Development) programs have seen steady growth over the past few years and have adjusted to meet the increasing demands of membership However, the growth has not seen the massive numbers that other youth sports have enjoyed. The sheer numbers of any local. organized youth soccer, football, volleyball or baseball program, projected into archery would make any JOAD counselor grin from ear to ear I believe that there is a potential for explosive growth in archery, especially in the NAA and JOAD programs. There are literally thousands of youths across the country who are looking tor a competenl, structured program of archery. The JOAD program has a distinct advantage in today's society. More parents are willing to allow their archery enthusiasts into an Olympic type archery program, especially one which does not include a hunting theme. To be successful, archery program organizers must learn to use business philosophies Most marketing strategists work on a principal ol target marketing II a bank or mortgage company wants to produce a mass mailing to potential home loan customers, they target apartment dwellers. newlyweds, etc. Success to them is deriving a percentage of contacts from the mailings, and hopefully some loan applications. This is the direct marketing approach. Indirect marketing relies on mass. indiscriminate mailing to reach potential customers. For general exposure this marketing approach is sufficient, however the costs nearly always outweigh the material gain. Established businesses avoid these practices whenever possible.

by targeting other organizations which have archery as part ot their program. Youth camps. Scouting and other organized activities help to promote archery awareness by including archery in their agenda. These efforts to provide archery awareness are commendable but are still not as efficient as direct target marketing. Archery must use a direct marketing approach if it wishes to compete in today s sports environment The direct marketing approach involves locating, targeting and recruiting those youths who are interested in archery as a competitive sport and providing an organized, competent. basic program to nurture these individuals The organized, competent program base is already in existence The locating and recruiting factor is what is severely lacking. I have concluded that the largest populous bases for direct marketing in the U.S. are local and regional park districts. The children who reside in these park districts are exposed annually Io a vanety ol programs, ranging from pre-school to high school summer sports Most suburban metro areas, usually with well endowed park district resources and facilities, hold an immeasurable hotbed of talent It is in these areas that the direct marketing approach will work. Several years ago I researched park district programs in the Chicagoland area and found that only a few offered archery as a regular program. Most were small programs within summer camps. At best the application was utilizing summer help to teach archery with fiberglass bows and wood arrows and then most were teaching without formal training. I decided to approach a couple of the larger districts and offer a program on a contractual agreement. I had a number of light poundage bows in my collection and a fair number of aluminum arrows which no longer passed my tournament quality standards. The target mattes chosen were the ethaloam, spiral wound type, easy to transport and set up with portable wooden stands. The first year the archery program was offered in the Naperville (Illinois) Park District rt drew over 130 youths. There was a waiting list for each class in case someone canceled. Every year afterward the classes were filled. Some of the youths were Boy Scouts interested in the archery merit badge, some were curious, but a number

I expanded into the St. Charles Park District and now teach year round in their indoor facility. I also added two additional park districts on a limited basis Out of these classes came individuals who wanted Io continue in archery and be involved in the NAA and JOAD competitions Several of the St. Charles and Naperville youths who had taken the park district classes soon joined Auroraland JOAD and by January 1 si of 1992 we had about 30 members By the summer the number had risen to 50 and we were able to take seven to the National JOAD tournament in Atlanta. Several others would have attended except for prior family commitments. Dunng the summer ol 1992 I discovered a free listing service in the Friday section ol the Chicago Tribune newspaper called the "Go Guide.* I submitted a small listing about the Auroraland JOAD group and the phones rang off the hook. By January of 1993 we had grown to nearly 100 members. Twenty-four members of ALA JOAD competed in the Illinois State Indoor in February of 1993 and by the summer we had about 15 serious competitors who wanted to be involved in the outdoor competitions. Ten ol our JOADs competed at Pittsburgh, and I was just thrilled to see that at one time on the first day ot competition we had five on the leader board. At the time of this article the membership stands at nearly 120. I inserted the story ol Auroraland JOAD to emphasize a point. Less than two years ago the total number of JOAD competitors from Chicago and the suburban areas was two, and both of these were my own children. Would the others have naturally sought out a JOAD program and become involved anyway? History indicates the odds are against it. There are parts of the country where JOAD programs have been running for over 20 years Annually these programs supply the majority of JOAD competitors. The key to the program s durability seems to be the individual commitment to the sport of archery. The Chicago and metropolitan area contains approximately six million people. Of this number. approximately 400 to 500 thousand youths participate in organized sports I spoke of only a couple of Park Districts in the Chicago area.

directory of the Chicago area indicated a membership of 107 Districts Think of the number of youths in each of those districts that may be interested in archery. I truly believe that we have just scratched the surface of this area I contribute the number ol respondents to the Auroraland JOAD program to TARGET MARKETING. The key is the ability to provide a service for those who are genuinely interested in archery as a sport The combination of interest in archery and with individuals who enjoy teaching and spreading the word can work wonders in any part of the country. Direct target marketing does not always require high population areas Did the readers ever wonder shy. year after year, top competitors were coming from places like Fremont or Kentwood. Michigan, or small towns near Columbus. Ohio or similar locations in Connecticut’ Why do these areas have the majority of Jr. Elite contenders year after year’ The answer is dedication A small number ol dedicated individuals can work wonders with or without large centers of population Before I go on, I have failed to mention the contnbutions and influence of retail archery shops in the JOAD programs. There are many shops around the country who sponsor, run and supply JOAD programs. To most ol these shops the JOAD age archer composes a very small portion of their retail business and therefore are reluctant to spend a great deal of time and effort Hunting bows and supplies (adult toys) make up the bulk ol their sales. There are exceptions, most notedly are King Archery in Michigan. Hall's Archery in Connecticut, Lancaster and Altoona in Pennsylvania and other shops around the country who are tied in with the JOAD program Some of these shops already cooperate with park districts and other youth organizations and contnbute heavily to the number of national JOAD competitors. By now you're probably thinking, fine, but how do I apply this to my area? How do I approach these park districts to propose a program’ It is accomplished the same way several people get together and organize little league baseball or peewee football. You have to take the bull by the horns and do it yourself. If you have the archery experience, or training through the NAA certified courses, you probably have a good idea on how to start.

PROFESSIONAL SHOOTERS

3-D professional archers like Shannon Caudle, Susan Thompson and Jesse Morehead know the difference between fact and hype. With hundreds of thousands of dollars to be won on the 3-D pro tour this year, they have to. So, when we introduced our OneCam System on the UniForce™ last year, they wanted one right away.

Shannon Caudle Finishing 2nd In the ASA Classic and the IBO World, Alabama's Shannon Caudle is the rising star on America's 3-0 pro tour.

The performance and power system on the UniForce™ and UniTech XLR™ is part of a revolution which is standing archery - and bowhunting, too - on its head. These fast bows only have one cam! Indeed, these Jennings bows are the leaders in a technological advance so remarkable that it is going to change the face of our industry and our sport forever. A OneCam Energy System is the foundation for these revolutionary Jennings bows. With the OneCam on the lower limb and an idler wheel on the upper limb, these bows achieve and maintain a perfect synergestic balance of forces at each limb tip. This is combined with an all-synthetic string and cable system with a higher strength-to-weight ratio than steel. Sounds too good to be true, but it isn't.

Alter placing 4th in the Florida ASA Tournament, Susan pieced together a remarkable string of victories and was named ASA "Lady Shooter of the Year."

Our OneCam bows are fast, stable and easy to maintain. To the untrained eye, they may look conventional, but they are not. They are innovative, revolutionary. If you don't believe it, just ask our pro shooters... or try one yourself!

Emphasize the success of the JOAD program and the goals of the National Archery Association. Most of all. ptace your sport on the same training and recruiting level as other organized sports. The more you can convince the park district of the credibility of the program the more chance you will get it approved. Along with that usually comes priority on publicity and exposure. Most Park Districts usually will enter into a contractual agreement Park Districts will supply a venue and registration and the contractor will supply everything else. Park Districts do not want to make any special investment in equipment. In fact, the less they can shell out on a program the happier they seem to be The individual or club must be prepared to supply all equipment and instruction. The main reason Park Districts shy away from specialty sports is the cost ol equipment and the acquisition of quality instructors. A great number of gymnastic programs in Park Districts are contracted through a club for that reason. Archery is a specialty sport and most recreation directors acknowledge the fact. The contract should permit the club or individual to receive somewhere between 60% to 80% of the revenue generated. Remember that all the Park District is doing is supplying program registration and in most cases a venue If you conduct indoor classes in a space which normally is rented out to groups or individuals, such as a gymnasium or multi-purpose room, the District may want closer to 40%. If the venue is in a park or field with little upkeep or at a private club, the figure should be closer to 20%. As an example, a District charges $16.00 per person for tour one hour classes. The club or individual would receive $12.80 per student on an 80/20 split. It doesn't take a genius to figure that this comes to approximately $38 dollars an hour for a 12 student class. Of course, there are

expenses They may charge a premium for additional liability insurance. Arrows can be lost or broken. I am constantly replacing the Hoyt ProResis on the bows and the ethafoam mattes cannot stand heavy use without the centers being shot out. How do Park Districts help spread the sport of archery more than other organizations? Park District brochures are the equivalent ol free newspaper listing. Once a Park District seasonal program brochure containing the archery lessons is mailed to the general populous of that District, you have instant and long lasting exposure. The effectiveness of the brochure also depends on how you word the listing. My Park District listings start with the following: "Discover the world ol competitive target archery. Youth and adults will learn to shoot using Olympic style recurve bows. The instructor Is a regional and national competitor and is the adult counselor of a local Junior Olympic Archery club." The listing contains a challenge, a description and an opportunity Local publicity in combination with the classes comes with the territory. Most recreation directors like to arrange good publicity for new programs. Supply photos if necessary for the brochure and for articles in local newspapers about the new program. Check for regional papers with wide spread circulation. This will enhance your chances for a good response. An aggressive approach to marketing your archery program will reap rewards if you and/or your group has commitment Not all areas ol the country have Park Districts who command the majority ol youth activity. In some areas of the country it is the YMCA/YWCA which is the dominant organization. It is also understood that many areas ol the country have different social and/or economic lifestyles and cultures. Whatever organizations you decide to target in your marketing effort, a good sincere effort may develop a future Olympic Gold Medalist.

MICHIGAN’S FIRST SKI-ARC by Bob Fenton

KALKASKA WINTERFEST JANUARY 1WTHE PRESS GAVE US GOOD REVUES THIS WAS ONE OF THE FOUR FATHEWSON COMPETITORS ON THE SHOOTING LINE.

SKI-ARC SHOOTING LINE

Saturday January 22 had finally arrived and all our planning and preparations were coming together tor Michigan's first Ski-Arc event. It was a great day tor Kalkaska’s Winterfest! The temp was 20 degrees, partly sunny and no wind This was a big change from the past two weeks with the average temp around 0 degrees along with snow and wind. We had started three days eartier by grooming the shortened one-half mile course to accommodate traditional and skating skiers Ten volunteers started Saturday morning with a huge breakfast of pancakes, sausages and eggs Then we went to setup the course. We set six target butts, five at a shortened 15 yards and one at 10 yards, for youth 12-19 years of age. with the added safety of an arrow catch curtain. At the shooting line we used carpet samples tor the competitors to stand on so they wouldn't slip. There were two numbered PVC pipes at each shooting position to hold arrows and they

and on the third stand again II any arrows missed the mark, 30 seconds was added lor each arrow out to their total skiing time. We had 31 participants try their skills with ten being ladies We didn't distinguish between the sexes and tour ladies were in the medals Great going ladies! We had some excellent skiers negotiating the 1 1/2 mile course in eleven minutes including stopping to shoot three limes Sometimes we wonder why we put ourselves through all the "work" to stage an event like this But then a person like Dennis Troy comes along and tells me why he attended Dennis had heart surgery and hadn't shot a bow in 15 years and only skied twice this winter. Dennis said. "This was a test for him." Not only did he complete the event but he won a 3rd place medal in the adult division. His wife also received a dog sled ride which was a dream she has had since childhood Now I know some of the reasons why we do things like this!

corresponded to target butt numbers. There would be no archery equipment carried while skiing on the beginner level and we were all beginners. There was also a spectator area at the target line and the whole course coukf be viewed from this area. The start/finish line was about 75 yards from the shooting line. There was a large digital clock for the competitors to keep track of their lap times. There were two time keepers who kept track of the lap times. Skiers started at 30 second intervals with 12 competitors to a heat. As the skiers made their way around the onehalf mile course they would pass one of our volunteers about 50 yards before coming into the shooting area. This person would yell their bib number to the person at the bow rack. They would pick up the correct bow and stand by the shooting land they needed to fire from and shoot their three arrows. On the first lap they would stand Io shoot, on the second they would kneel,

The only break from running was during the water stopsbut I kepimoving while I was gulping. I managed 19 miles before I took any recovery walks, each lasting on 50 yards. Most of these came at the ascending portion of an underpass where I walked briskly. With 4 miles to go. the temperature dropped to about 45 degrees; I put on my tights to prevent cramps.

than a half hour faster than last year, and I was still in a vertical position. I felt great and fully satisfied. The pride and ego never got fully developed after I discovered Robert Jones from New York finished in 3 hours and 41 minutes. Robert is 83 years old. A brief warm-down walk, some re-hydration, and within half an hour, I was ready to head home with only minor soreness and stiffness. A short walk that evening and several longer walks the next day and I was ready to plan my next adventure.

JOEGREJDUS 1993 NVVAA MALE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR Joe Grejdus of Phoenixville, Penn, was notified by the National Wheelchair Athletic Association (NWAA) in December that he had been chosen the 1993 male athlete of the year. Joe will be honored at the O'Leary Awards Banquet (formally called the Disabled Sports Awards Banquet) on March 26 at the Denver Marriott City Center, Denver. Colorado. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

The following news release was prepared by the NWAA in recognition of his accomplishments: Joe Grejdus started competing in wheelchair archery in 1985. At his first Nationals held in Edinboro, PA, he won that event by one point in the Novice Division. With no chance of competing on an international level, shooting novice Grejdus decided to go right into FITA. In 1986, he competed in his first International Competition in Gothenberg, Sweden, at the First World Championships. As a member of the U.S. Wheelchair Archery Team, he has competed at the following events: 1987 2nd World Championships, Pans, France Archery World Championships. Hershey, PA 1988 Paralympics, Seoul. Korea 1989 Stoke-Mandeville Games, England 1990 3rd World Championships. Assen, Holland 1991 Stoke-Mandeville Games. England Victory Games. Long Island, NY 1992 Paralympics. Barcelona, Spam During the Paralympics. Joe placed 4th and shot the highest score in the new Olympic round with a 111 and was one of eight archers who shot a 1200 or better. His score of 111 also tied the top able-bodied archer from Korea in the Olympics. Joe holds the 90-, 70-. and 50-meter distance records as well as the Double FITA title. Classified as an AR-2, Grejdus holds all records possible at the National level and has won gold medals consistently for the past several years at the Maryland Wheelchair games, the Tri-State Wheelchair Games, the Appalachian Wheelchair Games, and the former Delaware Wheelchair Games. Archery is the only sport where disabled and able-bodied archers can compete evenly. Joe has won many first-time medals competing at such able-bodied events as the Keystone State Games, 1st Senior Division (1990, -91, & -92); Mid-Atlantic Championships, 2nd Master Division (1991); PA State Shoot. 1 st Senior Division (1991 & *92); FITA East Indoor. 1st Master Division (1992); Atlantic City Archery Classic. 3rd place Team Medal (1992); and the U.S. Olympic Festival Trials, 10th on the Leader Board (1993). In July of 1993, Grejdus went on to win his fifth national archery title at the NWAA Nationals Championships held in Boston, MA. In August of 1993, while competing at the National Archery Association's able-bodied Nationals in Oxford, OH, he became the first wheelchair archer to win a medal in the 109 years that the event has been held, winning the bronze in the Masters Division. The 90-meter distance record, which he set at the competition last year, still stands. When Joe is not shooting, he visits area schools, universities, and rehabilitation hospitals to teach students about archery and more importantly, to address issues related to people with disabilities. His message is: "Many people with disabilities lead quality, satisfying lives. It just takes persistence." Congratulations Joe-we're all very proud of you and wish you much continued success in your archery endeavors.

UNITED STATES NATIONAL ARCHERY ASSOCIATION 1993 FLIGHT CHAMPIONSHIPS The 1993 Flight Regular Flight and Broadhead Flight Championships were attended by just a handful of participants as only five shooters managed to be there. In spite of this poor showing, one Regular Flight World and National record was broken and one National Broadhead record was broken. The tournament was held at the Bonneville Flight Range. adjacent to the Bonneville Speedway near Wendover Utah and because of an early wet spring, the main courses UNLIMITED PRIMITIVE BOW RECORD HOLDER DAN PERRY (L) AND were under one to two inches BOW DESIGNER HARRY DRAKE (R) of salt water, requiring an alternate course to be used South of the roadway leading to the Bonneville Speedway. Conditions were favorable but not ideal. The direction of shooting is determined at the time the range is opened to allow the Archer to shoot with the following breeze. This can be done because with the surveyors more accurate instrumentation now used. A point or shooting direction can be selected without laying out a line as required in the past using a steel tape for measurement Distances are determined by measuring at a right angle from the center line marker to the reflector at the arrow point using a surveyors theodolyte station. Minutes, degrees and seconds are read and a cosine is taken of this measurement and subtracted from the feet and tenths of feel measured from the reflector to the shooting line. This subtracted factor is the penalty a flight archer pays for being off center line. At the 1992 Championships, in setting his present record of 784 yards 2 feet 9 inches, World Compound Broadhead Champion Bert McCune missed a S1.500.00 bonus offered by Harry Drake to anyone shooting a broadhead arrow over 800 yards when he was penalized over fifteen yards for being far off line. Bert's actual distance was over 800 yards. At the 1993 championships no one was able to exceed 700 yards in broadhead flight. Interest in Primitive Flight has increased to where there could be a better showing at the 1994 tournament to be held at the Ivanpah Flight Range on October 7.8.9. Ivanpah Dry Lake Bed is located approximately 50 miles Southwest of Las Vegas. Nevada via 1-15. In the construction of Primitive Flight tackle, man made matenals are disallowed with the exception of broadhead arrow points. Harry Drake designed a Complex Composite Primitive Bow tor the 1993 Nationals utilizing a maple core backed with sinew, the belly being laminated with buffalo horn taken from an antique Chinese bow given to him by Tradrtional and Flight Archery authority and collector. Dr. Charles E. Grayson. This bow weighed approximately 70 pounds at full draw. At the 1993 Tournament, the then present Unlimited Primitive Bow Regular Flight record holder, Daniel Perry used Drake’s new creation and broke his own record of 283 yards 2 feet 2 inches by a phenomenal 237 yards 7 inches in setting his new World and National record of 521 yards 2

inches. Dan set the record with one of his own wrapped on feather fletched arrows. Broadhead Compound Bow Flight records have been re-wntten every year since this event was re-scheduled in 1987. It appears that these distances may have reached their max since only one record was even approached in 1993. Arlan Reynolds, the present 70 pound Broadhead Flight World Champion increased his 1991, 576 yard one foot 1 inch National Record by 9 yards 2 feet 10 inches in shooting his new record of 586 yards 11 inches. Arian's World 70 pound record is 605 yards 7 inches Results of the tournament are as follows: REGULARFLIGHT^FRIDAY.JUNE 18.1993 YDS.-FT.-IN/METERS MEN: Unlimited Compound Bow 818-0-4 / 748.09m 1.

ACTIVITIY IN ARCHERY ORGANIZATIONS: Pope & Young, ASA, ISO, AZ BFAA, NFAA, NRA, NAA, AZ Bowhunter's Assoc. BIOGRAPHY: In 1977 my brother. Rusty, bought a compound bow and began hunting. He encouraged me to give it a try so I bought my first compound in 1978. Ibowhunted lor several years with some success and began shooting an occasional 3-0 before hunting season. I joined a bowhunler league where I met some target archers who have since become my close friends. They encouraged me to attend the next tournament. I did and was successful. That was in 1987. Since that time I have become more and more involved in the sport. MOST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE: Elk hunting trips with my brother. Rusty. WHY I LIKE ARCHERY: The thing that Ive enjoyed most about archery is the lasting friendships it has helped to build Archery is a sport I can participate in whenever I have a free moment. I can pick up my bow, go out the back door, and start relaxing. If I want to get a little more serious I can shoot a league. III want to get real serious I can shoot tournaments from the local level to world level. I can decide the level at which I want to participate I've found that I get back from archery what I put into it.

Bill Leven (inventor and manufacturer of the stabilizer that I shoot), were jumping up and down like kids, and getting more excited and nervous with each round that I completed. I couldn't tell who was more nervous. Cindy or Bill. It surely wasn't me. My friend and coach. John Norberg, just stood there watching quietly informing Cindy and Bill how each round ended as they were too nervous to watch the last two rounds. If it hadn't been tor John's coaching I never would have made it that far. What a gratifying moment for all of us, when I won. I felt we all had won. Thanks to David and Rita Cohen tor your support. This will probably be my most memorable archery expenence. the time I won VEGAS. WHY I LIKE ARCHERY: It is one of the few sports THE U. S. ARCHER

NEW ZEALAND ARCHERY ASSOCIATION’S 51ST NATIONALS JANUARY 2-7, 1994 By JESSIE HENWOOD

ASSEMBLED COMPETITIORS AT THE NATIONALS

Held once again in the picturesque grounds of the University of Waikato in the suburb of Hillcrest, New Zealand The accommodation was at Orchard Park adjacent to the shooting venue and was again up to standard Carole Hicks did a superb job as Shooting Director and M.C. as usual and we are lucky to have someone of Carole's calibre to do these tasks for us. With the 51st New Zealand Archery Association Nationals now fading into the past with very vivid memories lasting of excellent scores and great comradeship. Prior to lhe Opening Ceremony those gathered were asked to observe a moment of silence m respect of the archers who had passed away during the year. Pam Thurlow (Australia), Harry Gordon. Jack Bruning. Bert Crispin and Errol O’Halloran All former regular attendees at our annual Nationals. At the Opening Ceremony there was a hiccup when the flags were unfurled. Joyce Cattermole was privileged to unfurl the Australian Hag and Stuart Atkins of Canberra had the greatest thrill of his career unfurling the New Zealand flag. This started oft to a lot of laughs and good humor that prevailed over the week’s events. The weather was as usual windy but fine and warm lor the FITA. However, by Wednesday the storm clouds had arrived from down south and owing to thunder and lightning the Clout was cancelled on Wednesday morning. The danger aspect was considered with many lightning strikes being experienced. It did. however, clear for the afternoon’s FITA Match play and the Wednesday evening barbecue. The held on Thursday and Friday was conducted in hot dry conditions and the tournament ended with the medal ceremony and the Pig-on-the-spit barbecue on Friday night. This year we were delighted to have with us competitors from Tahiti, New Caledonia,

112

Australia. Switzerland and Malaysia making the International and Match Play very competitive and exciting. Seventeen year old Andy Lindsay Jr. blitzed the men’s recurve FITA field. At the haltway mark he led his nearest rival, fellow Aucklander Glen Fuller, by 51 points after shooting 1190 points out of a possible 1440 over four distances. Malaysian Norashid Karim was a creditable third. However, on the second day Glen and Norashid reversed places. Norashid edged ahead by 5 points but still 64 points behind Andy. Wayne Funnell, the world record holder tor the men's compound FITA round led the field for the two days, despite ill health, to retain his New Zealand title. Wayne was an inspiration to us all, he hung in there even though he was tired and had to go off his medication for three days to allow him to compete. His Chemo the week before had helped and he showed us all what courage is all about. Steve Haines, who is to move to Sydney shortly, finished 21 (joints behind In second place with Robert Henderson (Australia) third. Robert, a former New Zealander, is back home to stay so we should see more of him on the competition line. Robert also shot under great difficulties, he had the flu and his bow blew up. Caroline Lindsay retained her national title from Josie Flanagan and Fleur Fulton these ladies had a wonderful competition in their compound division. Faye Johnstone withstood a challenge from Chnstine McCracken to retain her recurve title with Sally Fausett third. In the junior men’s FITA Oliver Menetrey of New Caledonia showed a clean pair of heels to David Goodare and Aaron Hilton of New Zealand. Clarie Bailey shot exceptionally well to beat Nicola Rye and Karen Scott in the junior women's recurve section.

Gael Bonnace, a regular competitor at our National from New Caledonia, outshone the field of the junior men's recurve from his fellow countryman Christophe Couillaud. and Bon Fausett (NZL). The crossbow events for 1994 were keenly contested with Leonie Moodie retaining her national title, Alan Fulton the senior title and Stuart Atkins of Australia beating Tony Kemp of NZ for the international first placing. Tony, however, retained his national title. The short range shooters had an enjoyable competition with Andrew Pack just beating Brian Henwood by 3 points for the gold medal Blair Wright easily won his section from Bob Gilmer by some 160 odd points.

ASA SETS THE STAGE FOR 1994 By BILL SHIVER By the time you read this. Archery Shooter’s Association wilt have recently completed the first of its 1994 ASA/NRA Pro-AM Tour events with the Florida Championship held February 19-20 in Gainesville, Florida. With a hugely successful first year under its belt, the new association is now heading lull sleam into 1994. Future ProAm tournaments are slated for Alexandria. Louisiana (March 19-20): Lexington. Kentucky (April 23-24); Knoxville. Tennessee (May 21-22); Valdosta. Georgia (June 18-19); and Craig, Colorado (July 23-24). In addition. The ASA/NRA Federation Tour will be sanctioning tournaments in many states which will be hosted by affiliated clubs. These will culminate in State Championships and a National Championship to be held in Opelika, Alabama, on August 6-7. An additional $10,000.00 will be paid this year at The Federation National event and will be divided among all classes. The cream of the Federation crop will join the best of the Pro AM crowd at The ASA/NRA World Championship Classic on August 26-28, 1994. Site of the Classic to be announced A few changes have been announced by ASA headquarters to take effect this year. First of alt. The National Rifle Association has come aboard as Title Sponsor of both the Pro-Am and Federation Tours. ASA founder Wayne Pearson says, "The NRA has always been in the lorefront in our battle to preserve and protect our sporting heritage. They are steadily expanding their efforts toward bowhunters and competitive archers, and we are extremely proud to have them with us.' Miller Brewing Company is now sponsor of The Miller High Points Championship. Due to this involvement, an additional $70,000 00 in bonus monies will be paid during the year in the Pro fessional classes including $10,000.00 to the Shooter of the Year. Miller is also sponsoring a new and exciting dimension which is called The Miller Perfection." Anyone posting an official per fect score of 480 during any ASA/NRA Pro-Am

GOALS FOR THE NEXT YEAR: To win as many tournaments as possible. CONDITIONING EXERCISES PHYSICAL: Hunting deer and turkey MENTAL: Concentration NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL TITLES: Outdoor National ’89 3-D Nationals in 1992 & 1993. ASA World Championship in 1993 2nd indoor National '90 and 3rd in 1992 MOST MEMORABLE ARCHERY EXPERIENCE: Bowhunter Classic Championship in 1992 and ASA World WHY I LIKE ARCHERY: Archery is a sport both young and old can participate in. MESSAGE FOR OUR READERS: Believe m yourself, any goal can be achieved

Sorry Connie!!! tournament will win $50,000.00. All classes are eligible for this bonus money. A lew new classes will go into effect in '94 Answering a request from more mature shooters. ASA has established a "Senior Class." This will allow shooters fifty years of age or older to compete against their own age group if they desire There is also a new "Semi-Pro Class" with a $100 per event entry fee. This step has been taken to enable and encourage amateurs to make that critical step up toward the pro level And finally, a "Men's Limited Pro" class (any sights, no release aid). ASA continues to offer affiliate archery and/ or hunting clubs a top notch liability insurance program. This plan covers both archery and gun clubs. Dealers insurance packages are also available. Pearson states. "I have worked hard for the past two years trying to come up with the very best insurance program at the lowest possible prices. I think our affiliated clubs deserve this, and we invite clubs to call us. I promise all clubs that if they don’t have our insurance they're spending too much money. All they have Io do is call Rusty Smith at (912)686-7402 and get the particulars " As of this writing, two ASA/NRA Certified Ar chery Schools have been held with great suc cess. A modern lodge has been constructed on ASA Headquarters property near Nashville. Georgia. Various types of schools are offered ranging from basic skills, advanced level and dealership schools. Tuition for a 3 day compre hensive school is $375.00 which includes two nights lodging and all meals. Students who have completed ASA/NRA schools so far have had rave reviews for the quality of instruction, accom modations and the great benefits they have re ceived. Anyone interested in attending one of these schools may call the number listed earlier ASA is certainly not resting on its laurels. Af ter the successes of 1993, Pearson and his staff are more determined than ever to "take the sport of archery to a new and exating dimension." All indications are that they're well on the way.

BEAR SUPER STRIKE TECHNOLOGY LEADER FOR THE 90s

BEAR ARCHERY PROUDLY INTRODUCES THE FIRST STRIKE XL/XLR BOWS

The OneCam energy delivery system on Bear's new Super Strike is the most revolutionary concept to be designed into a bow since the development of the compound bow 30 years ago. This energy transfer system is poised to change the face of archery and bowhunting forever and people shooting bows with conventional 2-cam technology should be asking themselves how soon they can make the switch. Maintenance of the OneCam Power System on the Super Strike's lower limb is easy Once nocking point and center shot are set, the altsynthetic string and cable system requires no twisting or adjusting for cam synchronization. If it were any simpler, it would not be a compound bow. Multiple string anchor positions on the OneCam allow you to fine-tune your draw length to fractions of an inch between the standard 1" increments. Bear's Super Strike is loaded with all the shooter extras, too. extras which make this bow very fast and exceptionally smooth. An integral. two-piece quiver attaches directly to the Performance* magnesium handle. The compression molded limbs (either straight XL limbs or recurve XLR limbs) are the perfect blend of carbon and fiberglass. A full sight window easily accommodates any shooting style and long yardage pin placement

Last year. Bear Archery's First Strike bow established a reputation for hard-hitting performance. This year. Bear Archery has taken a good thing and made it even better. The 1993 First Strike XL (straight limbs) and the First Stnke XLR (recurve limbs) are upgraded versions of last year's popular First Strike. To make a fine bow even more exceptional, Bear engineers designed a new long-powerstroke handle called the Performance*. This handle has a longer sight window, the arrow rest mounts directly above the grip pressure point, reducing torque. Bear now offers the bow with both straight and recurve compression-molded carbon/fiberglass limbs. These limbs have cycled In the laboratory more than 1 million limes. While the new Bear Strike! cam delivers speed and smooth takeoff for your arrows, the unique MicroTune Yoke system lets you make timing adjustments on-the-spot without a bow compressor. The yoke's machined 6061-T6 aluminum frame eliminates anchor cable limb torque by eventy distributing loading on either side of the cam. Consequently, perfect alignment Is maintained between the limb tip travel plane

and the string travel plane. Other features of the First Strike XL/XLR Include: ’Spectra 1000 bowstring for increased arrow speed ’ Posi-Lock cable guard ’ Draw length modules for easy adjustments ’Riser set screws maintain consistent draw weight.

BCY ADDS POLYESTER PRODUCT TO ITS BOWSTRING RANGE

town

OUTDOOR ARCHERY ACTION is a bi-monthly Australian Publication Reporting on National and International Archery

FITA, IFAA & WOBA events are covered in addition to the Australian & New Zealand Archery scene

Recognizing the need to service the "traditional" market, BCY has added a polyester bowstring to its range. Quotes Ray Browne. President of BCY, "For traditional bows and some overseas markets where recurves are predominant, there is a need to provide a string material that is less severe on the bow Irmbs so we have developed B500 polyester. It is manufactured from a low stretch material extruded by Hoechst Celanese and processed by BCY into a polyester bowstring that has similar characteristics to the standard B50 with the exception that it has slightly less stretch." BCY also manufactures the very latest, no stretch, no creep, STREAMLINE bowstring from Vectran material.

Also offered is a full range of serving thread For information contact BCY, Inc., Fibers Division. P. O. Box 466. Dept USA, South Lyme. CT 06376. Phone (203)434-3126, Fax (203)4340492.

THE REAL STORY ABOUT KINETIC ENERGY FROM BEMAN ARCHERY How Penetration is Affected by Arrow Material Composition Kinetic energy has been an interesting topic of discussion in shooting circles. The formula: Kinetic Energy = weight of projectile x velocity? + 450.240, has been used to argue that a lighter arrow may be faster but it has less kinetic energy. The assumption is that less energy will be delivered thereby resulting in a shallower penetration. The fallacy lies in the often assumed misnomer that a lighter carbon arrow will penetrate less effectively than a heavier aluminum arrow of the same weight. Noted archery physics expert, Norb Mullaney, has in the past pointed out that kinetic energy comparisons are valid only when all other factors are consistent - including material composition. Material composition is the key. At the molecular level, carbon fiber and aluminum are structurally very different. This structural difference promotes different reactions on impact. Carbon fiber material has been recognized for its energy absorbing and energy storing qualities. It is strong, lightweight, durable, and resilient to stress. Products made with this material tend to have a higher stiffness-to-weight ratio than their aluminum made counterparts. The way carbon arrows and aluminum arrows act on impact is very similar to how two water balloons will perform if one is frozen and the other is not. Imagine a water balloon filled with a pound of water that is thrown at a plate glass window. When it hits the window, the energy is spread through the water causing the balloon to expand and bounce off or break. Now imagine a water balloon Filled with just a half of a pound of water, only this time the water in the balloon is stiffened by freezing it. When it hits the plate glass window, this balloon will pass through the glass.

Even though the second water balloon weighed less, it delivered more energy on impact because of its stiffer composition. Like the frozen water balloon, a carbon arrow will deliver more energy on impact because of the composition of the carbon fiber material. Aluminum arrows react more like the heavier, room-temperature water balloon. Upon impact, the aluminum can suffer and result in a permanently bent shaft To simulate how a projectile such as a bullet might react as it penetrates flesh, ballistics manufacturers commonly use on of two proven methods: ballistic gelatin or water encased in plastic bags. Beman Archery is currently running penetration tests with carbon, carbon/aluminum composite, and all-aluminum arrows utilizing the latter of these methods. With all other variables remaining the same (i.e.: arrow spine, length, bow weight, and nocking point), preliminary results are indicating that Beman's carbon arrows are penetrating an average of 12“ deeper than all other aluminum arrows being tested. Tests prove that the kinetic energy issue in arrow performance is only valid when comparing arrows made of like materials. The real testing ground for penetration remains with the actual shooting of projectiles into a specific material. For information contact Beman Archery Corp.. 3682 Rennie School Rd., Dept. USA.

KEN TOPEL RETIRES FROM FINE-LINE Ken Topel, founder of FINE-LINE. Inc. of Puyallup, Washington, whose innovative ideas in the field of archery led to the first crosshair bow sight, the first self-aligning peep sight and the first quiver that adjusts to arrow length, has announced his retirement. FINE-LINE, Inc. General Manager, Sam Topel stated. "Ken has given the archery industry some of its most innovative products. Products that are accurate, simple to use and made to last. His ideas generated from a strong engineering background with extensive personal field testing. While Ken is retiring from the day to day operations of FINE-LINE he will continue to be Involved in product development and heavily involved in field testing."

A life long outdoorsman and bowhunter. Ken missed two shots at a record book buck in 1972. This missed opportunity and his not being able to find a sight he felt was accurate nor rugged enough to meet his demands led him to begin work on designing the original Hunter Crosshair Bow Sight. When completed, the sight caused instant excitement wherever he went. The demand was so great that in 1976 Ken Topel and Bill Cummins (now deceased) started FINELINE. Ken said of this start, "I always wanted the best equipment because my hunting time was so valuable. I figured everyone else wanted the same thing." Ken. who has admitted to weakness for the outdoors brought his son, Sam, in to run the day to day operations of the company. "Sam runs the company," says Ken, The rest of us who own stock in the firm kind of dump things in his lap and go off hunting." This combination of talent has seen FINE-LINE grow into one of the most successful archery companies in the world. Since the Original Crosshair Bow Sight, FINELINE has marketed three self-aligning peep sights, the HUNTER Bow Quiver, a low cost Honing Guide to sharpen blades and the new ULTRA Crosshair Bow Sight. Though "retired", one can bet that Ken's innovative mind will still be in there coming up with top quality hunting products for the bowhunter. FINE-LINE is located In Puyallup. Washington.

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

‘ — And Bjorn-Nocks are the most pre cise snap-on nocks produced! Concentricity and tolerance of the string groove, for example, are kept within ± 0.05 mm. And this is very, very close... So, we happily produce the world’s finest nocks for you... For You- Quality Conscious Archer!
