WHY CHOOSE PSE My new Minify series of bows will change the way you think about performance bows and their shootability
Pile Sbepley President Precision Shooting Equipment
TECHNICAL SUPERIORITY 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 Flite 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 ergonomic proportions and available in
shorter draw lengths down to 23
Our
Infinity LD riser is a longer version with deflexed design featuring a
lowered grip and rest location like the other Infinity risers. Its 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.

Gentlemen: I have read with particular interest the comments of Per E. Bolstad in the "Have Your Say" feature in the November-December issue of THE U.S ARCHER Like it or not we serious archers must concede the fact that today's archery programs, in many instances, are being strongly influenced by the marketplace.

Traditions however noble sooner or later succumb to the people's will to change and what is available to promote that change. I too feel that FITA is out of touch with the grass roots archers. I attend many archery events throughout the year and compound bows far outnumber any type of bow being manufactured today. Just check the advertisements in the magazines appealing to archers. Advertisements for compound bows seem to be supporting those publications while advertisements for recurves, longbows and crossbows are almost nonexistent Bolstad's contention that compound bow shooters should use a smaller target because compound bow shooters have easier shooting tells me that FITA is out of touch with the average archer who makes up the major portion of archery tournaments I suggest that FITA contact the Pennsylvania State Archery Association and obtain a set of its rules Every phase of archery is covered within those rules FITA. in my opinion, could learn much from the PSAA rule book. For any archery tournament to be truly fair it must have shooters using similar equipment competing with each other plus ability. The PSAA rules have the answer to that situation. I recommend that FITA contact the Pennsylvania State Archery Association at RD 1 box 247A, Lewiston, PA 17044 for a copy of its rules because the PSAA has the answers to questions that seem to plague FITA Perhaps the time has come for FITA to get its head out of the sand and stop treating compound bow shooters like unwanted step children. Sincerely, John Pawlowski

REPLY AND COMMENT ON FITA AND THE COMPOUND ARCHER BY PER E BOLSTAD IN THE NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 1992 ISSUE OF THE U.S. ARCHER FITA has decided to reduce the size of the target face to bring the compound shooter in to a closer final score to be more evenly matched with the recurve sight shooter. In "early days" do you mean before 1900 or about 1940 or even 1931 when FITA was first started. As I am not an authority of FITA rules I cannot say why or when the rules were changed. In this country we never made any difference in style of shooting for target shooters Most target shooters used the point of aim method and very few shot instinctive. Two well known archers that shot instinctive were Fred Bear and Howard Hill and I have shot in the same tournament with both of them at one time or another. They both were excellent hunters and used the instinctive way of aiming, without sight or release, in all their hunting. Us people that did not understand that sightless shooting was not as accurate might prefer it that way If we want high scores we could use a crossbow or a rifle or the vertical crossbow, called a compound. As far as I know the compound bow came into use about 1968 and because it is such
an easy bow to shoot using a rear sight on the string, front sight movable or fixed, and let off that can be held at full draw with very little effort, hundreds of hunters have taken to it like a duck takes to water Some of these vertical crossbow shooters never join a club of any kind and use the bow season to get two chances to hunt as they also like to hunt with a gun I belong to a field archery club and shoot right along with the compound bow shooters on the same targets and everything I have just as much fun as they do and they can’t believe that I am only eighty years young I have never been the best shot in the world or won first place in anything but C class but I love to shoot and even went deer hunting when I was much younger The equipment manufactured today is a great deal better than what I used when I made my own back in the 1930's I still love to shoot and am the Secretary/Treasurer of the local club I could rattle on and on but enough said for now
Archerilly yours. Bill Cooper Apple Valley. California
OPEN LETTER TO PETE SHEPLEY IN REGARD TO FUTURE ARCHERY
When I started shooting in 1931 we had no professional class or any different class for any one shooting style except the crossbow which was shot like a rifle with gun stock and trigger We had no ABC rating or style of shooting The crossbow always shot separate from the stick bow or recurve The men shot separate from the women and children shot separate by age groups We all shot at the same size target face the 48'" gold, red, blue, black and white Scoring 9. 7, 5, 3, 1, with a possible score of 810 in the American Round Men shot the York and American rounds while the women shot the National and Columbia rounds We also had a Junior American round that was shot 10 yards shorter than the Senior American. Our only field round was stump shooting which allowed us to practice at unknown distances Our hunting as a club was rabbits, ducks and miscellaneous small animals and we always used blunt arrows with wooden bows. Some of the clubs had an invitational to other clubs to get together and hunt in groups on farmers' land that had been arranged to use beforehand In 1941 John Yount dreamed up the Field round with small target faces and used a scoring system to make it a little more interesting. It was set up as a practice round for hunters and used targets set up at different distances. Today the field round draws more archers than the standard target rounds do In 1986 or close the 3-D target for hunters came out and not far behind the 3-D round with scores for hunters and club members. This 3-D round brought out most all of the hunters that were never interested in the target rounds and the clubs that could afford the 3D targets started to make ends meet and CONTINUED ON PAGE 13Z

"To me, the Easton A/C/E is as good as gold." -Sebastien Flute, 1992 Olympic Gold Medalist The 1992 Olympic Summer Games were a golden opportunity for Sebastien Flute of France. In one of the toughest fields of all time, with a new head-to-
head format, Sebastien took the Men’s Individual Gold Medal. His arrow:
Easton Aluminum/Carbon/Extreme (A/C/E). Once again, Easton dominated the medal count, as 119 of 136 Olympic competitors shot A/C/E. Year in and
year out, when the world’s best archers shoot for the gold, they demand Easton.

even show a profit. The bowhunters were more interested in shooting at life size targets and could care less about any awards The new round and handicapping method sounds good and I will look forward to reading about it and even get a chance to shoot it. I am over eighty years young and still shooting a recurve as I prefer the lightness in hand and lack of all the gadgets that my compound shooting friends have go wrong with their equipment. Archerilly yours, Bill Cooper Apple Valley, California
Dear Editor, I enjoy your magazine very much and follow results of your top shooters. Its a pity our top coaches couldn't be as open minded as yours then perhaps we could give seminars in U.S.A. (joke!) Later in the year I am coming to America and hope to have time to look up a club or shop or two. In the meantime I would like to hear from any of your readers who might like to exchange a letter or two on this beloved sport of ours.
I hope you have been able to read this letter okay as my writing is not up to the same standard as my archery I'm sorry to say Must go now, time to practice! I look forward to hearing from you Garry Maben 10 Burniston Close Plympton Plymouth Devon England PL7 3PQ

EASTON SEMINAR FOR COACHES AND TOP SHOOTERS PART I - AN INTERVIEW WITH KOREAN COACH KYUNG-RAE PARK By FREDDIE TRONCOSO On February 10-14,1993. Easton Aluminum. Inc presented a most unique and comprehensrve archery seminar never before offered to U. S archery coaches and top shooters. The main objective and ultimate goal of this seminar was to provide attendees with the most recent and up-to-date information regarding the best and most successfully used archery training programs offered in the world today Highlighting this tremendous drawing card were South Korean Coach Park. Kyung Rae. and the ever popular Russian shooting superstar Vladimir Echeev who is the current FITA world record holder This dynamic duo was joined by talented Don Rabska. Rick McKinney, Tom Stevenson who provided audiences with their tremendous knowledge and insight on shooting techniques. tuning and biomechanics. The stage for a tremendous seminar was set and a tremendous informative seminar it was1
MR. PARK’S BACKGROUND Mr Kyung-Rae Park is thirty-six years old and was head of the Korean National Archery team for a six year period. Mr. Park is married and has a boy nine and a girl five years of
KOREA S PREMIER COACH PARK HELPING THE COACHES AND SHOOTERS
He was an active shooter at a very young age and shot competitively during the years 1974 1975. 1976, 1977 and 1978 Mr Park is an accomplished archer, a respected coach and also has earned a fourth degree black belt rating in Tae-Kwon-Do It is our privilege to present. Mr Kyung-Rae Park, a perfect gentleman, great coach, and extremely knowledgeable person
A BRIEF HISTORY OF KOREAN ARCHERY Korean archery has dramatically changed over the past fifteen years Prior to 1978, the most popular type of archery practiced in Korea was traditional Korean archery which was performed according to century old customs Popular was the use of the oriental reflex composite bow that propelled a 30 to 34 inch reed arrow at reasonable speeds Due to the short length of the 48" bow. the bowstring was released by means of the oriental thumb ring that thus required the arrow to be perched on the right side of the sight window The superior skills and shooting form of the Koreans permitted their archers to frequently record hits on a six-by-nine foot wooden target positioned 150 meters from the shooting line (164 yards!) To make things more difficult, traditional style archers used no moveable sights and were frequently known to record as many as 13 hits out of a possible 15 arrows shot from that distance! Remarkable is a word that falls far short of this tremendous feat As we are aware. Korean archers continue to perfect their mastery of archery as applied to their newly acquired Western style archery skills. In an effort to better understand their rapid ascent into world fame and acclaim. let us proceed with the examination of the seminar presentation and interview with Coach Park of Korea You, too. may well conclude that there is much logic to their method and dedicated approach to archery I sincerely recommend that we read, analyze and try to learn from what they are doing No question about it. these archers know how to shoot and are working to improve their shooting skills this very minute
Question: Mr. Park, how many archers does Korea have? The Korean Archery Association has approxi mately two thousand archers Question: Is Ko Arc? y government funded? Yes* but private b-s ness iso contributes great sums of mo y to promoting archery For example the Presid it of Hyundai Corporation donat S1.00 '00 to archery each year Question: What io«. ortant, indi vidual competiv tea ,mpetition? In Korea, we try to e cel in an teas of archery. but the public seems to favor team competition We start with elementary school teams, junior high schools teams, high school, university teams, company sponsored teams, and national teams. Of course, our Olympic archers are selected from the national teams The top three shooters are picked from a field of eight and the second team from a group of thirty people All of these archers shoot 1300 scores •REPORTER S NOTE: Prior to 1978 and over years past, the Korean National Traditional Archery tournament featured two types of competition The format included individual and clubfieam competition Each competition was divided into two groups featuring one man's division, also one woman's division Each province had its own tournament and selected two teams comprised of five archers each. Within each of the nine provinces were four or five clubs For the National Tournament. each province would have its own tournament and provided two teams. The teams were then sent to the National Tournament
age He is presently President of Korean Coaching Association and is still involved with coaching and overseeing the top Korean archers for both men and women. It is interesting to note that Mr. Park was the very first Korean archer to shoot a 1200 FITA round in Korea

Korean archers follow a very thorough training program which also includes training from the Korean Sports Science Institute The institute provides a complete testing program for all archers which includes EMG muscle testing. dieticians, doctor examinations and x-ray testing of bow arm and anatomy. Question: Why do Koraan archers excel? Korean archers excel because they have good coordination. Korean archers have excellent hand and eye coordination and come from a country that has a long history of archery For example, the Japanese are known for their swordsmanship The Chinese are known for their mastery of the wooden staff Korea is known for mastery of archery. Question: Would you describe your training programs in more depth? Korean Archery Training programs are divided into three categories The "power" or physical which includes weight-training and cross country This part makes up 40% of training.

The technical portion places emphasis on SHOOTING FORM. The archer must have stability, exacting repetition and consistency for shooting We also teach them how to deal with the wind The technical portion makes 50% of our training The mental portion of training is important. We practice ZEN philosophy and teach how to overcome tension Much competition is important ZEN is used to increase power of concentration Imagery is used to create tension through imagination. The mental portion is 10% of training. ________________________ Question: How are your National Teams selected? The National Teams are selected from series of six (6) selection games, usually one doubled FITA of 288 arrows followed by Grand FITA of 36 arrows then Olympic Elimination Round is used Korean training suggests many, many competitions. In this manner, our archers learn how to control mental tension. Question: We have seen Koreans practice drawing without a bow. Why? This comes from our 4-step drawing practice learned from beginning. All Korean archers start without a bow. Step Two - Allows archer to practice drawing with first bow. Step Three - Permits nocking arrow without clicker Step Four - Allows nocking arrow with clicker. When archer has problem, we recommend to practice elementary drawing without bow

Question: What do you suggest is best form? Best form is finding what works for you Basics are good but exacting repetition is most important Question: Do your archers experience any shooting problems? At one time, every archer changes form and equipment when he sees a new champion win. Some have tried to shoot like Darrell Pace and Rick McKinney Question: What practice do you recommend for shooting in the wind? There is a rhythm to all wind You must practice in wind and learn to shoot well with wind. You learn by trying to read wind Best to mentally superimpose another target face upon the real face and aim to compensate Question: Can you expand on teaching basics to beginners? In Korea, we require a minimum of six months to teach archery to beginners The learning period is most important Beginners learn best when they are young In this way. they will not learn bad habits. We start by making beginners practice the archery portion WITHOUT A BOW This is done many times for a minimum of TWO WEEKS!

NAA BOARD CANDIDATES The following is the slate of candidates approved by the Board of Governors at its March meeting. Additional candidates may be placed on the ballot by petition; signed by at least five members from the region for which the candidate is being proposed (except for athlete representative, which can have five signatures from any region). The petition must be received by the executive director before July 17, 1993, which is 45 days before the annual meeting on August 1. 1993 ACTIVE ARCHER ATHLETE REPRESENTATIVE Allen Rasor Atascadero, California Through my years of experience as an archer I have been witness to many un necessary events between archers, between archers and officials, and between archers and their organization. The most common reason for this has been a lack of communication. The archers typically do not feel like they have anyone to support them or anyone to whom they are able to express their frustrations It is my intention that I be an athlete's representative. Since I have competed in all divisions possible, I am fortunate to have a wide base of friends in our sport which is comprised of people of all ages. This is particularly important today, because competitors in archery cover the full spectrum of age levels. I hope that this makes me accessible to all shooters and that I will be the communication link which seems to be missing between the archers and other groups within our sport. As archers it is important that we get our 20% representation in our national organization so that our thoughts can be expressed in a way that gets our views across to those people making the decisions. Communication must be possible for this to happen. This is what I want to provide.
Rasor is currently a college student and archery product tester for Easton He has competed in two world championships and was the National champion in 1992 He is a former resident athlete at the USOTC. and has been a member of five Junior Elite USA T teams and three USA T teams- Currently he Is working toward his first All-American honors
ACTIVE ARCHER ATHLETE REPRESENTATIVE Tom Stevenson, Jr. Tucson, Arizona I am run ning for the position of Active Ar cher Athlete Representa tive for the NAA Board of Gover nors for the 1993-95 term. I am presently serving as the Active Archer Athlete Representative and have been on the NAA Board in this position since 1989. I would like to continue to serve the NAA in this capacity If re-elected I will continue to do my best in all aspects of representing the NAA. For those of you who I have not had the opportunity to meet. I offer the following as some background on my archery involvement I have been involved with and shooting archery for a long time. I started shooting in 1967 and competed in my first NAA Nationals at Valley Forge. Penn, in 1969 Since then I have competed in NAA National Championships every year. I have also had the opportunity to compete in the NAA youth divisions, the collegiate division while at Arizona State University, and in international competitions representing the NAA. Over that period of time I have seen many changes in archery and within the NAA It seems like more and more is going on in archery every year. The number of programs and events that the NAA runs increases every year. Along with this is the ever increasing international scope which archery is taking on. With so much going on there are many things which we all can do to both improve the NAA and to improve the level of performance of US shooters at the international level If re-elected I will do my best to serve the NAA as Active Archers Athlete Representative.

archery and the general membership You can rest assured that if you have a problem, need, or concern; I am accessible and will respond in a timely manner I will listen to you and present your case to the Board of Governors. On occasion, I have questioned the Board on issues Along with petitions of support from the membership, the decisions were changed to be more in line with the needs of the active archers. The trick is to balance the needs of the general membership who contribute to and support this fine organization, with the desires and wants of the Elite who represent us in international competition. I am a dedicated engineer at NASA I have spent fourteen years in competition, countless hours in practice, many dollars on the road, and have shot over a million arrows in the pursuit of excellence. I know what it takes to win. More impor tantly, I know what it takes to compete and what it takes to keep an organization alive and well It takes good leadership, a great general membership, and open communica tion between the two. I feel that my qualifications in archery are well-rounded and that I have a good insight concerning the wants and needs of my fellow archers. Your vote will be a vote heard. I look forward to your support.

WEST REGION Kathryn Tober Lakewood, Colorado
I am a relative newcomer to the sport of archery. I started shooting archery in 1991. and started competing at the state level that same year. I was nominated
for Level 1 and 2 Instructor Training with the NAA in 1992. Getting acquainted with the National Coach Administrator and the Executive Director for the NAA was influential In my decisions to become more active with the National Archery Association Their dedication to the sport, and the enthusiasm they convey through their classes about the sport and the organization, is contagious When the request for entry level team managers went out. I volunteered Since 1992, I have managed a summer JOAD camp at the Olympic Training Center and both the JR Elite and USAT camps in November/December 1992 Holding a Level 3 Coach certificate from the NAA. I am a volunteer coach for the Pro Shop and archer range in the Denver area where I shoot, assisting both our intermediate students and the advanced students (our JOAD team) Because of the experiences I have had with members of the NAA and the Jr and Senior National Teams, my admiration of both the sport and participants has grown I am really excited about the opportunity to serve of the NAA Board of Governors. This is my opportunity to give even more back to the sport that has given so much to me in the way of personal growth, introduction to the most dedicated group of athlete's I have even known, and the desire to share the benefits of archery with everyone Unlike other athletes. archers do not compete for glory or monetary profit Neither the coaches, administrators of the NAA. or volunteers for the organization have dreams of being nationally known for their knowledge and expertise. We are lucky enough to still be a part of the most prestigious

sporting event, the Olympics I believe archery produces athletes who are well rounded in many areas of their lives. The sport itself encourages personal growth by setting personal goals, encourages self-discipline for its athletes. encourages team work when competing with other archers in a team setting, and helps athletes develop a good mental attitude and practice Olympic-style archery challenges those who are brave enough to accept the challenge to go beyond their limits-to attempt the impossible I am proud to be a part of such an organization and will do everything I can to support and promote both the sport and the National Archery Association

EAST REGION Johnny Grace Roanoke, Virginia Most of you have met me either on the shooting line or behind a table selling archery equipment under the "Star City Archery" banner which is my livelihood My business has allowed me to put much back into the sport that I dearly love. I have been able to serve as the director for our Virginia State Games in archery for four years, give numerous high school and elementary school exhibitions and promotional talks, and most importantly have personally introduced over 400 children to the sport of archery. Those of you who know me personally know that archery is my life. You know that I feel archery is the greatest sport there is and should be made available to everyone, not just a select few! In speaking with the membership since my nomination for this position last year, it seems that one of the biggest concerns is that the focus of the NAA seems to be shifting more to the elite archers and more to the west in terms of top level tournament scheduling. The Elite and Jr. Elite programs are drastically important but only in the relatively short term planning. What happens when those 20 or 30 top level shooters decide to stop shooting? The NAA has an obligation to its membership to provide equal competitive opportunities to all its members, and also to aggressively try to recruit new, fresh members. We need active elementary and high school promotions. There are entire school districts that don't even know that the NAA exists. The college division needs a shot in the arm also. I think that a wave of high school grads that were already NAA members would greatly boost participation in the college division. We need a wide, growing base of members from which to pull our elite shooters. There are thousands of clubs and thousands of archery dealers that could be utilized to spread the awareness of the NAA. We need to make available basic coaching and teaching aides to all beginning or potential instructors. We CONTINUED ON PAGE 151
JOAD CLUB NEWS SPOTLIGHT ON GANG GREENEJOAD Jefferson, Iowa by Don Orris The Jefferson Parks and Recreation program began youth archery classes four years ago It was through the efforts of four archery enthusiasts-Phil Siglin, Don Orris. Skeeter Wilber, and 1972 Olympic gold medalist, Doreen Wilber-who donated their instructional time and expertise to get this program off the ground The city Parks and Recreation Department works strictly on the idea that 'each program is to be self-supporting" This means thal all of the equipment has to be donated or bought from fees charged to the participants Since our idea was to accommodate every youth that wanted to participate, we created a huge financial problem. The equipment we are using consists of 20-year-old Wing bows (Cityowned from years past), homemade sights and Doreen's old stock of arrows and equipment she accumulated over the years JOAD clubs usually grow from existing archery lanes or ranges Our club is unique because we had zero facilities, old equipment and no organizational body Instead we had great kids, enthusiastic instructors, but most of all the Wilbers. It started one day when Doreen Wilber was in Don's True Value talking to Don Orris. the owner. Doreen had just come off her umpteenth back surgery and was walking around with a neck brace in obvious pain Don made the comment that he would like to take a lesson from Doreen someday when she felt better Doreen answered "Why not today7 I can't do anything for several weeks except walk and lie down." When Don said that he didn't have any equipment, Doreen answered. "Don't worry I'll find something to shoot" Don took Doreen up on her offer and about two weeks later his son Kyle joined him The word got around, and the Park and Rec Dept of Jefferson soon had Skeeter and Doreen instructing the program Phil Siglin had shot with Doreen and Skeeter as a youth and got immediately involved. While at one of the first classes. Doreen commented that we really ought to form a JOAD club if interest holds "What's a JOAD club?" Phil and Don asked Gang Greene JOAD. a group of kids from Greene County, Iowa, was started in December, 1990. (Thanks to Phil's wife, Joan, for the catchy name.) Fifteen of the participants went to the state-held Iowa Games. Fortunately some of the kids were able to purchase equipment, so that the remaining could check out the Parks and Rec owned bows Equipment is extremely lacking, but a recent grant from the National Archery Association Foundation, will change that. The club was electrified to find out it was one of the recipients, and can't wait to put that money to good use. There are no other JOAD clubs in the state of Iowa; therefore, having 50 kids involved

In this club in a town of 4500 is a source of great pride In the most recent round of lessons the instructors set up four teams with five members each, and also ran a handicapped league for older JOAD kids It worked out so well that we had a three-way tie for second and had to have a three arrow shoot off It truly put the kids in tournament-like conditions every week we shot. Gang Greene has had representatives attend JOAD Indoor and Outdoor Nationals, Olympic Trials, plus the Outdoor Nationals. The club has also dominated the youth divisions of the Iowa Games, held every four years at Iowa State University All of this from a very young club where the majority of the members are under 12-years-old. Four 8-week programs are currently planned through the Parks & Recreation Program We will shoot 16 weeks indoors and 16 weeks outdoors. The three age levels planned are beginners, JOAD. and adult. Instructional training has been donated by Don, Phil, Skeeter, and Doreen. Don and Phil attended the Coaches training session in Colorado Springs at the Olympic Training Center in 1991. Both are now Level 2 instructors The National Archery Association staff, with Nancy Myrick leading the coaching sessions, is a must for all JOAD instructors. The entire world of archery will be able to see the benefits of this outstanding program. The Wilbers are an unmatched resource
which Gang Greene JOAD uses in all phases of archery instruction-from the foundation of instruction to the advanced mental aspects of archery. As important as the many accomplishments the Wilbers have had in archery all over the world, none is as important as the way the youth in this community look up to them. There are many winners of gold medals in this world but there are no better champions that the Wilbers. The way they make the kids feel about themselves and archery is really something special. Archery is for everyone, just for fun or for serious competition-JOAD HAS IT ALLIIIII Gang Greene JOAD members: Darcy Blackmer, Dominic Brown, David Carhill, Josh.

COLLEGE DIVISION NEWS By Marion Rhodes
Collegians were out in force at the 1993 National Indoor Championships. Approximately 131 competed from the four regions of the United States. The East meet topped the list with 58 entries and nine colleges represented-this in spite of what will be known as the "Blizzard of ’93!" College archers competed for college division regional titles, national titles and a chance at becoming a 1993 All-American (All-Americans are chosen by the combined totals of both National Indoor Championships and the upcoming U.S Intercollegiate Archery Championship being held May 17-20 this year at the University of California at Davis.) College team honors from the National Indoor are just that No trophies are awarded. but the competition is always keen with each region’s teams vying for the National Team honors The team records are incomplete; therefore unofficial.

erable storm and a never ending supply of help! We were fortunate the power did not go off--Thank you Harrisonburg!! About 100 people stayed over Sunday night as many of the major highways were still closed. An impromptu seminar was hosted at the Days’ Inn that evening by Julia Bowers NAA master coach, on information from the recent Easton seminar held in Arizona. Almost everyone attended and felt it was very worthwhile.
Concisely Collegiate Las Vegas News Joseph McGIyn formerly of King's College. Brooklyn, took the Final Shootdown to become the Limited Amateur Men's Champion with a perfect 60 Justin Huish of Arizona Slate University was second with 58. and Allen Rasor of University of California at Los Angeles tied for the 3rd spot, also with a 58 For the ladies. Kathleen Loesch of Arizona State University took second with her 58 and Allison Williamson, third, also of ASU tied with 58 in the final shootdown This must have been an exciting event to watch A total of 22 former and present collegiate archers competed in the final "shootdown" round of the Limited Amateur Championship!

The Blizzard of '93 (otherwise known as the National Indoor East) was an event to remember Over two feet of snow and 50* mile-per-hour winds were registered over a 48 hour period! Highways closed, almost all restaurants closed, only one grocery store in town remained open-but through it all, archers managed to show up at the range at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Va. Some archers walked, some received help getting their cars dug out of the snow and ice Others got "lifts" back and forth by those who had 4 wheel drives and other snow vehicles. Archers and their families helped bring food supplies to the gym and other places to help out. Two archers even went to work at the Golden Corral in Harrisonburg on Saturday night to help The owner and his wife were keeping the restaurant open with what food they had on hand. No deliveries could be made, and most of the employees could not make their way to work. What a wonderful group of archers-l heard no complaining, just acceptance of this mis

FIRST NEW ENGLAND SKI-ARC COMPETITION
MIKE MATTHEWMAN WINNER OF THE 2.5 K RACE
The majestic Presidential Mountain Range was overcast and a slight breeze put a nip in the air. but it didn’t discourage participants of the first New England Ski-Arc Competition which took place March 6 at Bretton Woods. New Hampshire The event was co-sponsored by the New England School of Archery, Concord, NH. and the Bretton Woods Ski Touring Center Two loops were offered for archers is this relatively new discipline: a 2.5k for beginners and a 6k for intermediate and advanced skiers "Amazingly we had an equal amount of participants for both races," commented Marcia Wyman, coordinator of the competition and director of the New England School of Archery Mike Matthewman, an 11-year-old from Gilmanton, NH, is a seasoned cross country ski racer and archer His total of 136.5 points in the 2.5k earned him first over-all. In the 6k race, John Fullford of Westford. MA, had an impressive first place score of 136 points "Coming from an archery background, we weren't sure how to time the skiing until that day," Wyman says with a smile, adding that the Bretton Woods Ski Touring Center staff graciously helped out and took over that responsibility. The Dwileski family from Rensselaer. NY. traveled over 200 miles to participate. Andrew. age 10 and Allison, age 17, started archery this year at the Rakowana Archery Club in Schenectady. NY. Cross country skiing is also a new sport for them Both were surprised and pleased when they came in first in their recurve division. Stan Galmszenski, of Everett, MA. that morning participated in a 20k biathlon race then signed up for the 6k ski-arc. Rules state that first time ski-arc participants may leave their bows at their stations. Stan decided however, that he wanted to experience ski arc as it was meant to be so he strapped his

compound bow onto a make-shift sling to carry over the course. In his late 40s, Stan came in second over-all with a score of 109 5. "In order to expose the sport to as many as possible, we allowed any type of archery equipment." says Wyman, "and we got quite a variety, from children shooting overdraw with release to an adult arriving with home made bow. arrows and skis * Sarah Bates of Boston. MA. has always wanted to try biathlon, but found it difficult to break into the sport. Having done archery at summer camp as a child, she decided to give ski-arc a try. New England School of Archery loaned her equipment and gave her a quick lesson. An expert skier, Sarah zipped through the 2 5k loop. However, after seeing her arrows fly low, then high, she smiled and said. "I guess I better get some more lessons " The target area was a biathlon shooting range, perfect for ski-arc. Targets were placed at 18 meters. "Unfortunately we weren't sure how many would sign up at the last minute and had only three Saunders Matts set up." says Wyman shaking her head. "Next year we'll triple the targets so shooters will have more space on the line." Archery officials were Al and Cindy Partridge of Vernon, CT, and P.J and Gail LaBarge from Bristol. NH. "Overall the event went smoothly and we look forward to next year's ski-arc," Wyman says. ‘Participants will be encouraged to use recurve bows and will have the option of skiing the loops twice and shooting three times, once in the kneeling position." To keep interest going in ski-arc, the New England School of Archery and Bretton Woods Ski Touring Center will be sponsoring a cross country run/archery event this summer at Bretton Woods, NH.

The only division the U.S. archers did not medal in was the men's recurve division ’It was probably one of the toughest divisions because the scores were close and they were also high.’ Mike King said King of Kentwood. Ml, served as the world indoor coach and Wendy Erlandson, Mesa. AZ. was the team manager In the recurve division. Richard ’Butch’ Johnson lost to Olympic gold medalist Sebastian Flute of France in the quarter final round 144-137. placing him at 7th overall.

The indoor finals round format is a match play competition Sixteen archers qualified from each division Each match consisted of 15 arrows shot at 25 meters for compound shooters and 18 meters for recurve. Archers and managers seemed to agree that the trip and competition went very well ’Everything would have been perfect if I wouldn’t have had to borrow Jimmy Desparl’s clothes on the way home.’ Ethridge adds with a chuckle

BRITISH LONG BOW 2ND NORTH AMERICAN TOURNAMENT By HORACE CASTILLO The 2nd Annual North American Tournament of the British Long Bow Society was held in the rain on August 15th at the Corinthian Yacht Club, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The United Bowmen of Philadelphia were host to eight of twenty-seven North American members. Before the shoot there was a morning coffee, at noon a sit down luncheon, with awards being presented at the afternoon tea The rules of shooting and traditional activities were followed The York round was shot with English style long bows, and wooden arrows. A dress code is required, however the aim of the organization is to enjoy the sport of archery in a jolly good atmosphere with score being the less important aspect.
It is a rule that hits, not score, determine the winner, however awards are also given for the highest score, most golds and gold closest to the center, called the Gold Sweep. Below are the tournament results.

To All The ASA Shooters Who Made Our Gainesville Tournament Great! My staff and I want to thank you for helping sake the ASA Tournament in Gainesville a whopping success last month. With more than 1,100 registered shooters, it was the largest archery tournament ever held in this state. It was such a success that Bear Archery and Jennings Compound Bows plan to host it again next year. Our Gainesville ASA Tournament was a success for three reasons:
•
Wayne Pearson's ASA team has developed a classic pro-am shooting format.
•
Tournament participants were great competitors and ambassadors for their home towns while in Gainesville.
•
The Bear Archery staff who put in thousands of volunteer hours to ensure we did everything we could to make your visit enjoyable and successful.
Not only were prizes won by those who placed in the money during the tournament, but three of the many shooters who registered at the Bear Archery Museum were also winners. Heather Corbin of Stockbridge, Georgia won the $2,000 bond while Marie Housworth of Buckhead, Georgia and William Karmenzind of Winter Haven, Florida each won $1,000 bonds.
We received many favorable comments regarding how organized the tournament was and complimenting the tournament site as being excellent. We sincerely hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend in Gainesville, Florida. We would like to think everybody came out a winner. I would appreciate any recommendations you, the shooters, might want to make regarding how we can make next year's tournament even better.
Again, thank you for shooting in our Gainesville tournament and we look forward to seeing you next year. Sincerely,

I’m sure you have heard the 1921 saying "One picture is worth 1,000 words" by Fred R. Barnard of Street Railways Advertising Company. I could have taken 1,000 pictures of the First ASA Championships in Gainesville. Florida, but I could never show you the exquisite hospitality received everywhere from the motel clerks to the airline representatives and everyone in between. Continental Airlines brought me from Tucson to Orlando right on time. The Dollar rented white Shadow convertible made the scenic two-hour trip to the Fairfield Inn In Gainesville a pleasure. The beautiful three story inn was nestled behind the Holiday Inn just off 1-75. Included in our very reasonable room rate of $43.00 per night was a continental breakfast Good coffee to top it off. I d highly recommend the Fairfield Inn if you plan to attend the 1994 ASA Florida Invitational Championships. Friday was set-up day so I made a short trip to the AMO Executive Offices where I had shipped samples of THE II. S. ARCHER magazine Pat Wiseman-Snider, who I had worked with at Bear Archery In Grayling, Michigan, during the 1970’s was in the office. After a warm welcome she told me the sad news of Bob Kelly, past president of Bear Archery, passing away the day before. Our conversation brought back many fond memones Now fifteen years later I’ve become partial to my home in the west and Tucson’s hospitality but never have I been made to feel more at home or found people more helpful in doing my job of covering the event than here in Gainesville. We were a family in Grayling and I also feel this way with the Bear Archery Staff in Gainesville. Frank Scott, who was my supervisor In Grayling, was busy receiving guests in the new museum so I called his lovely wife. Eli. She also works but took time out of her busy schedule to have lunch with me. Following the excellent road map to the range I drove in to the Hatch Creek Lodge. Tents and banners of every color lined the road Into the tournament site.

A few businesses were setting up and exchanging stories of what they thought would be the attendance and what would be results for exhibitors Just six weeks ago this area was a private hunting reserve with no ranges Ten ranges of twenty targets with a spectator lane had to be cut into the dense forest. Dan Massimillo and Larry Bland were called to be in charge of the gigantic project Now the ranges were ready but what about the competitors. This extensive management project was started by Wayne Pearson Last June he decided his dream needed to be fulfilled Wayne hired Rusty Smith (Federation Director). Danny Moore (Executive V P ) and Buddy Conley (V P. Sales) to help his dream come true Thanks to the following gold sponsors and bronze sponsors Wayne sold on his dreams and plans.

This championship circuit is the strongest financially backed archery event in history. I heard the statement over and over, "If anyone can do this type of promotion, Wayne Pearson can. Wayne’s vision could be seen by many as witnessed by the number of sponsors. Easton Aluminum and Loggy Bayou became the main sponsors with host Bear Archery under the direction of President Charlie Smith.

While all scores to select the champions were being entered on the computer, Wayne Pearson introduced his staff, thanked everyone for coming, asked PSE, Easton Aluminum. Loggy Bayou, and Browning to explain their bonus programs. He also asked the media present to talk about their plans for ASA He asked me to address the crowd and it caught me totally off guard.

A few days ago I was in Louisiana, participating in The ASA Easton/Loggy Bayou Louisiana Invitational Tournament. The weather was miserable, with plenty of mud everywhere. But, everyone's spirits were high, and we all enjoyed a great time together. I love the sport of archery and I've learned a lot over the past few years. I've worked my way up to the pro level, and believe me, I'm learning even more. I always thought that pros were a stand offish bunch. At tournaments they always stayed off to themselves. I'll admit that I got the wrong impression of pro shooters I now know that the pros stayed to themselves because most amateur shooters were so in awe of them that they hesitated to walk up and start talking to them. I’ve got some advice for amateur shooters Go up to the pros and talk with them. You'll find that they are the greatest bunch of men and ladies that you'll ever meet, and you'll learn more from them in just a few minutes than you’ll learn on your own in months. After all, pro is just short for "professional" Pros are a special breed. They're good shooters and good people. They have to be good shooters or they wouldn't be pros. They’re good people simply because that's the kind of stuff they're made of. A few things you ought to know about pros. Pros take their shooting seriously. Very seriously They're competitive, but they temper their competitive nature with healthy doses of integrity and character Take the 12-ring for example When I first heard about the 12-ring, I didn’t like it a bit I didn’t have any use for it. But now that I know why the 12-ring is there, and what it is intended to do. I’ve continued to really like it I may not love it yet, but I'm going steady with it. TOP-5" 10-RING
REAR of ANIMAL
FRONT OF ANIMAL
1-9/16" 12 RING
Wayne Pearson told me something the other day that I had never thought about before. He compared the "12" ring with the 3 point play in basketball. It's something you go for when the right opportunity presents itself and when you have the confidence to make the shot. It can help you make up ground, but only if the circumstances are right Same with the "12" ring. Pro shooters will tell you that they never shoot for it. But I'll tell you that several times during any given tournament, situations will develop when the time is right and they'll go for the little circle. Most of the time they won't say that's what they're doing, but you can see it in their eyes.
They’re saying to themselves, "I can do it now, and I'm going for the '12' " When it comes time for a judgement call. range officials should also know that pros really dislike anyone physically touching an arrow in a target. There's no need for it, and can make a pro's blood boil. Judgement calls’ This brings me to the real reason why I asked Wayne Pearson to let me write this article. I was witness to an incident at the Louisiana Invitational that brought home to me what being a real, true professional is all about. All right, here's the situation I was shooting in a group with Randy Ulmer, Frank Miles and Charles Blankinship When I found out that I would be shooting with the "big boys’’ I said, "Oh no, I don't belong here " And when I walked up to the group I guess they saw in my eyes that I was terrified. I mean, everybody knows Randy Ulmer and his reputation But. Randy said to me, "Just calm down, if you didn't belong here, you wouldn't be here " It really made me feel good and I even started relaxing a little. Well, we shot this target Charles and I were the scorekeepers for our group I approached the target and saw that Charles' arrow was real close to being a 10 We're talking REAL CLOSE I felt like it was an 8. but again, it was REAL CLOSE to a 10 Frank Miles' arrow was also close It was just as close as Charles'. I looked for a few moments and then just backed off without saying anything. In the meantime, Charles had been standing to the side and hadn't even looked at the arrows. As soon as I moved away. Charles stepped up to the target, and immediately, without blinking an eye he said. "Frank's is a 10 and mine is an 8 " Now you have to understand that with those words. Charles cost himself the tournament. If he had called his arrow a 10 (which it very possibly could have been) he would have won the tournament with no shoot-off As it turned out, his call placed him in a shoot-off with Randy Chappell. Right now I want to make it real clear that I'm not taking anything away from Randy Chappell. Everyone knows that Randy is one of the very finest 3-D shooters on the planet He is also a true sportsman and a true professional. He won the tournamentl But it was Charles Blankinship's honesty in making the call on his arrow that impressed me, and everyone around us He could have said. "Frank's is a 10 and mine is a 10 " It was so close that no one would have argued But, he didn't do that. He made the call as honestly and truthfully as he could, knowing that it could, or would cost him the tournament and several thousand dollars in the process Charles Blankinship showed us all what the words "Class" and "professional" are all about. There's one other thing I'd like to say All of us in the sport of archery have spent years standing flat-footed on the ground, looking
THE U S ARCHER
up at a cloud On that cloud are people like professional golfers, pro bowlers, tennis players. etc They’ve been able to share their love for their sports with millions of people through national TV. And. they've been able to make good livings doing what they love to do. With ASA, Wayne Pearson is building a ladder up to that cloud. He's putting up the rungs one at a time We shooters don't need to be standing around the bottom of that ladder complaining that the ladder is too high, or the rungs are too far apart or arguing about what the ladder is made of. We just need to get on the ladder and start climbing If we'll all climb together, one day we'll reach that cloud And I for one am planning on having a great time when we get there. * MEN'S UNLIMITED CLASS NAME li! 1 Stanley Canter 202 2 Dale Keene 200 3 Richard Anderson 201 4.

Detailed under each photograph is the animal’s weight, the distance of the shot, the model and weight of the bow used and the trophy measurements. "Africa Tested Tough!" is available from authorized Hoyt USA dealers nationwide or directly from Hoyt USA. Attn" Customer Service. 475 N. Neil Armstrong Rd., Dept. USA.

EASTON INTRODUCES NEW "CLASSIC" PERMAGRAPHIC PATTERN
Salt Lake City - October 1992 - Easton has recently added a new PermaGraphic pattern to its line of camouflage patterned arrow shafts. This new shaft pattern, called the "Classic,"
very closely resembles the natural wood grain look of the traditional cedar shaft-used for hundreds of years by archers. The use of traditional equipment - long bows, recurves and wooden arrows - is on the rise," says Peter Weaver. President of Easton Salt Lake City. "Good, straight cedar for making arrows is getting harder to come by, so we feel this pattern will offer the traditional archer, as well as the modem equipment shooter, the look of a real wood arrow with the performance of our durable aluminum shafts " The "Classic" pattern is produced from the high performance XX75 model shafts and will be available in the popular sizes of 2117, 2213, 2216, 2219, 2315, 2317, and 2413 This distinctive wood pattern is hard anodized into the aluminum tubing for a permanent, durable finish Easton's XX75 shafts are produced with strong 7075 alloy and straightened to +/- .002 for accurate, consistent arrow flight The "Classic" has a swaged nock end and will receive conventional glue-on nocks. For information contact Randy Schoeck, Easton Aluminum, 5040 W Harold Gatty Dr., Dept. USA, Salt Lake City. UT 841162897. Phone (801)539-1400, fax (801)5339907.
TRUEFLIGHT BARRED™ FEATHERS
-rmtv
Trueflight Barred™ feathers are now available in FULL LENGTH select sections and 5 inch SHIELD BACK in addition to the popular 5 inch round back and 5 3/4 inch Maxi-Fletch shapes. As natural barred feathers have become virtually impossible to find, Trueflight's simulated barred pattern fletching has become a widely used substitute Trueflight Barred™ are simply natural white feathers with a barred pattern applied. They are available in six colors as well as black and white (or gray barred) The barred pattern gives any arrow a beautiful natural look, and makes for very effective camouflage fletching. In the last few years, the contrast and depth of the pattern have been improved In fact, many people mistake "Trueflight Barred™" for the real thing. Trueflight continues to supply a full line of natural feather fletching in thirteen shapes and sizes and twelve colors (including the new fluorescent chartreuse) For more information please contact Trueflight Manufacturing Company, Inc., P O Box 10CX), Dept.

HIGH COUNTRY’S LEGENDARY HUNTER PUTS SPEED AT YOUR FINGERTIPS In the past, many finger shooters have had to settle for compromises rather than performance The finger bows that were available gave up speed in order to gain accuracy That meant that finger shooters had to put up with bows that were
MAY-JUNE 1993
substantially slower than most hunting situations demanded. All of this changed with High Country's Legendary Hunter. From concept to completion. this incredible new bow was designed to address the unique challenges facing archery’s elite breed of hunter. The finger shooter. High Country created speed by utilizing the Phantom Extreme cam. the wheel that has won more world and national 3-D titles than any other in history It added accuracy by melding the cam to a forgiving 43 inch axle to axle bow To further enhance the bow. a precision made SL2 center shot aluminum nser was coupled with powerful 171/2 carbon/graphite recurve limbs Then, the 65% let off Phamtom Extreme wheel was wound tight with a heavy duty Fast Flight string and harness (It is also available with a steel cable system.) The end result was a fast finger bow that offers draw lengths of 28 to 33 inches and weights of 60. 70 and 80 pounds with a 15 pound range The Lengendary Hunter is finished in High Country's Treeleaf Camo It is also available in a 3-D version, the World Champion XL. in custom red glitter, blue or black For further information contact Whitt Highbaugh, High Country Archery. 312 Industrial Park Ave .

Steve Steward.

Our dealers and retail customers have recognized the value of professional sales and service.** Pro Line's introduction of the popular Point Blank series of bows in 1988, followed by the revolutionary in-line-riser New Wave series in 1991 set new industry standards for speed and performance in compound bows “We've made product development a priority." said Ploot. "Pro Line has always built good bows, but we were hearing a call for more speed, greater stability and better handling We answered that call, and the response has been all we hoped for." Pro Line's entire manufacturing and administrative operations have relocated in the new facility, as well as the offices of its parent corporation.

The Koreans do come to an “anchor", aim, then immediately come through their clickers and shoot. They do not use the constant motion through the shot concept which can severely affect ones' anchor and aim. Several U.S. coaches are against the constant motion theory, as they feel consistency and confidence are too difficult to maintain.
Question: What method do Koreans use to teach proper clicker control? Answer1 To activate clicker, there must be good harmony between back tension and release The archer must not labor with clicker I thank you for the opportunity to come here.
COMMON MISTAKES BY BEGINNERS RAISED SHOULDER ON BOW ARM AND PULLING ELBOW TOO LOW
MAY-JUNE 1993
SUMMARY The availability of the Easton video (from the NAA or Easton Aluminum) featuring the
"Olympic Games in Barcelona" has provided archers with an opportunity to watch the superior Korean archers shoot Their archers have superb shooting form and project great control and confidence. They do not appear concerned when they miss the ten-ring and seldom show emotion when they hit. As a rule, the archer who has the best shooting form is sometimes considered more outstanding than the archer who scores higher In some instances the archer with the best shooting form is the one with the higher score A good example of this is Youn-Jeong Cho. The emphasis by Korea on proper shooting form may tend to eliminate the cultivation of bad shooting habits and "Target-Panic" Most of the Korean archers draw slowly, aim, hold, shoot and follow through with precise exactness Yes. we can learn to shoot as well as they do. Yes, we will learn!

individual sport that a person can put as much or as little into it that they want MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT: I’ve had more than a couple of memorable times One being the Vegas Shoot in 1989. I’ll never forget that one. Also the Ann Marston that same year Those are tournaments I won by a very small margin. I'll also never forget the Nationals that I lost by just 2 points But most recently the shoot I won't forget will be the Tucson Desert Shoot Out when I won the "Top Gun” belt buckle for mixed teams That was the most fun I've had in winning for a long time. WHY I LIKE ARCHERY: The people I have met through archery are some of the most caring people I have ever known I've gone through some tough times in the past couple of years and my archery friends have become my "family." They were very caring and supportive and helped me through the bad as well as the good. I love them all and thank them all! MESSAGES TO OUR READERS: My message to beginners is to be sure to learn some stretches and exercises for warm up before shooting and cool down after shooting. • 190

I just wanted to say thanks Frank for being my coach and good friend. I have continued to get better each year because of your knowledge and coaching abilities. You are one of the select few that will teach everything you possibly think will help. The years you have been in archery, (and we know there have been many) and the experience that you have is such a plus for your school. Your school is one of the best ways for an individual to really find their potential. Good Luck, Bob Anderson
