Editorial Report

Congratulations to everyone who made the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) Tournament such a successful event. I am a little afraid to mention names due to missing someone. Of course the students who participated first come to mind and everyone should have a gold medal for all the effort they put in prior to coming to Louisville. KY. All the coaches, parents, and other supporting staff should receive badges of courage for their part in the year of preparation. Matt McPherson of Mathews Archery is seeing his dream come true through people like Jennie Richardson, Roy Grimes of the Kentucky Fish & Wildlife Department and all of the other Fish & Wildlife Departments that are behind archery in the schools. Gene Wilhoit of the Kentucky Department of Education was on hand to present some awards and the National Field Archery Association President Bruce Cull and his staff made the range ready for the event. These are just a few of the people who had a part in this very special event. This super event will be followed by more events in the coming years. Our coverage is made possible by our advertisers and subscribers. Be sure to thank them by buying their products or dropping them a letter. We are privileged to bring you 16 pages of coverage of the

NASP Championships. I apologize for not identifying everyone in the photos. Due to missed phone calls and missed deadlines, additional stories will be coming up in future issues. An extra 1800 magazines were printed to be mailed to the schools. We received the postal address from many participating schools but not all of them. Please let us know your postal address by email at usamag@aol.com and we will send out as many magazines as needed in your school. What will another 5 years, 2010 bring? We want to be part of the excitement and accomplishments of these super students and their supporters. Let us hear from you. Have and great summer! See you on the range, Arlyne

Wanted! Nantes, address and story about this Champion and his parents!

Monday, March 7, 2005

By Craig Merz THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH Looking at the slim body of two-time Olympic gold-medalist archer Darrell Pace and the sculpted body of bodybuilderturned-actor-turncd-Califomia-governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, they would seem to have little in common. But Pace, president of the National Archcry Association of the United States, said his sport requires many of the same skills used by the muscle-bound athletes. “You don’t have to be bulked up, but my back used to look like Arnold’s was when he was competing, at least between the shoulder blades,” said Pace, the

Olympic champion in 1976 and ’84 who no longer competes. “It’s all in how you pull (the bow). I compare it to the clean and jerk. When you’re aligned perfectly, you can hold it forever. In archery, when it’s aligned perfectly, it goes effortlessly. It’s movement, then static.” Pace, of Cincinnati, and Schwarzenegger shared the same room yesterday during the final day of the Arnold Fitness Classic weekend. Schwarzenegger dropped by briefly to say hello to the archers and pose for pictures, pumping more life into the first archery challenge held at the Arnold. “It’s nice to be a part of this,” said Manning Baumgardner, president of the Columbus Federation of International Target Archery Club. “We’re not a sport with high exposure.” 12(1

“Governor Schwarzenegger and I were most pleased with the great turnout for the interest in the Arnold Archery Challenge. The participation by several member s of our U.S. Olympic team, and their instruction of Arnold in the use of the bow, was exciting for everyone. We look forward to an even greater archery event on March 3-5, 2006 in Columbus, Ohio. We want to thank the great archers who appeared and competed here, and we also thank “The U.S. and International Archer” for its great support.” Jim Lorimer

The U.S. and International Archer Inc.

No, but the archers do have passion, skill and concentration. It’s also evident from watching the archers, including several Olympians, that it is a sport for men and women of all ages and sizes. “Anybody can get into it. It’s really a family sport,” Jennifer Nichols said. At age 21, Nichols is the top-ranked U.S. archer and was a member of the 2004 Olympic squad. Nichols came to Columbus from Cheyenne, Wyo., with her sister, Amanda, to compete for S4,000 in prize money. “This is a great event for us. Archery is not a sport that gets a lot of publicity. This is one way to get our name out there,” Jennifer Nichols said. Meanwhile, 16-year-old Andrew Testaguzza didn’t have to travel far. The youngest of more than 30 competitors started shooting at targets in his back yard in Bexley. “I hit the fence a lot,” he said. But he stuck with it and set his sights on making the Olympic team. There is one problem: He competes in tbe compound category (a modem bow using pulleys for a mechanical edge), but the recurve (which bends away from the archer when held in Three-time US Olympian Janet Dykman (El Monte, CA) the firing position) is the only Olympic category so far. He’s points out the riser portion of the recurve bow to Governor hoping that changes. Schwarzenegger. Testaguzza someday could be on the same squad with three-time Olympian The scores were out of a possible 450 perfect score. Janet Dykman (1996, 2000, 2004) of El Men Olympic Bow Division Women Olympic Bow Division Monte, Calif. She said more women are 1. Jennifer Nichols-Wyoming 433 $600 1.

Fellow Archers, Where were you between the 16lh and the 20th of March 2005? Were you in Louisville KY U.S.A.? I was lucky enough to be there to see the archery extravaganza roll in, not only was the IFAA WIAC taking place but so was the NFAA Championships along with the NASP National Archery in the Schools Program Event. I was privileged to witness the NASP, this was held on the 16,h March in the Kentucky Convention Centre (the same venue as the WIAC) and I was very impressed to see seventeen hundred kids of all ages and all backgrounds having an absolute ball with bows and arrows, we must all praise and thank the sponsors of this program, not only for the money that they donate, but for all of there time and effort that they put into it. Each and every one of them deserves their own medal. Yes, 1 am jealous, and I wish that we had a similar program in Europe. The following day (17,h) saw the start of the IFAA WIAC, on your arrival at the shoot venue you could not help but be impressed by all of the archery shops, dealers and the general road show that goes with this type of event in the USA, I do hope that all of

you American archers realize how lucky you are to have so much on your doorstep. The administration staff of the NFAA (these are the people that do all of the behind the scenes work on our behalf, to make sure that you have a tournament to shoot) worked long and hard most of them started work before seven in the morning, and some of them worked right the way through to midnight, to make sure that all was ready for the following day's shooting. I personally would like to thank you all for your hard work, and your warm welcome. I would also like to thank Brad for all the physiotherapy work. With a shoot of this size with many things going on at the same time, and the use of two rule books, there are bound to be a few problems, but I am happy to say that these were few and far between and most of the problems that did occur were soon put right. (This will not happen again as a new NFAA rule does not allow this, and all tournaments will from April be on a stand alone basis). The main problem that did arise was with the shoot start times, this was mainly caused by shooters not reading their into pack properly and not checking the information boards at the end of each day’s shooting, I know that it is nice to go sight seeing, but at the end of the day we are there for the tournament. The shooting itself was superb with many excellent scores coming in each day, and it was good to see so many doing so well. In the PRO male division we had to have a shoot off as they all had perfect scores and even tied on X‘s. As with all good things they end too soon, and this shoot was no exception, but not to worry there are many more shoots to go to this year. Talking of this, if you are on vacation this year and you just happen to be near one of the major shoots, why not drop in and say Hi, or better still bring your bow and shoot. This year’s shoots include the European Bow hunter Championships in Italy, the World Bowhunter Championships in South Africa, the European Field Archery Championships in Estonia and the Pacific Championships in New Zealand. 122

Always remember that it is always good to shoot well, and if you can, win a few medals along the way, but never forget that this, our chosen sport is also FUN. Until the next time.

Mary Lynn Snyder Born October 14,1941 Returned Home: April 17, 2005

Throughout our lives we meet and interact with people from many walks of life. Included are aggressive and successful people along with contrasting compassionate individuals who touch our lives with kindness, understanding, and true devoted friendship. In reality, the most important attributes we remember about a person is what they indicate to us by their behavior and most importantly their kindness toward us, family, and friends. Such a person was Mary Lynn Snyder. She was a loving and caring lady, a talented and skilled archer, and proud mother of her three children and grand children whom she dearly loved and revered. Mary Lynn was introduced to archery during 1963 and started shooting with her fingers and a recurve bow. After struggling to shoot well for a period of five years, she was introduced to shooting with a release-aid device under the tutorship of fellow Nevadan, Larry Crim, who was a close friend of the Snyders and also a fellow member of the Las Vegas Archery Club. As history indicates, the “release” was rapidly gaining popularity throughout the Western portion of the United States during this period. With the increased accuracy and efficiency provided by using a “release”, instead of her fingers, her shooting and scoring improved to the point where she won several club and State Archery Championships, which resulted in her posting high

overall scores that equaled and To Thode I Love And sometimes eclipsed Thove Who Love Me the men’s scores on several occasions.

Her win was impacting enough to earn her a place on the front cover of the 1972 February issue of “Archery Magazine” which is the official publication of the NFAA. Throughout the remainder of her archery career, Mary Lynn attended and participated in more than 50 Professional and NFAA events where she proudly posted scores that placed her amongst the top ten Unlimited Division Women shooters from 1972 to 1991. After retiring from the shooting lines, Mary Lynn continued her involvement in archery by helping with the Vegas archery tournaments and club events each year. A very modest, kind and private woman, Mary Lynn was especially proud of her three children; her lovely daughter, Lisa Lynn Snyder-Magness of Las Vegas, Carl Snyder of Santa Monica, and Mark Snyder of Las Vegas. She is also survived by her brother William Moore 111 of Las Vegas; sisters, Debbie Scott of San Diego, CA and Ethel Parrington of Chicago, IL, followed by her grandchildren, Austin Magness (Las Vegas) and Michael Snyder of Santa Monica, CA. As Larry Crim wholeheartedly states: “It is always sad when you lose such a good friend like Mary Lynn but, the world is a better place because she was here.....

Mary Lynn, we will all miss you

Until we meet again, Eva and Freddie Troncoso 128

Whe Worlds Finest jrl Competition nj^\ Just Got Better! J For Ten years the American Whitetail Competition mat has set the standard for FITA and World Class Competition. After two years of testing and experimentation our FITA mats just got better. One word - The Velocicore! Using a solid core of elastic threads that actually “squeeze” the arrow shaft to absorb the energy, the Velcocicore stops more arrows, with easier arrow removal than any other target on the market. Designed specifically for small diameter carbon arrows, we tested the core using X-10, ACE, ACC and standard hunting carbon arrows. Using a Hoyt Cyber-tec set at 60 pounds with a average arrow speed of 270 at 20 yards the Velocicore took over 2000 arrows in a four inch diameter spot with out a pass through and with reasonable arrow removal. The velocicore is without a doubt the most advanced target core on the planet today! The AR-124 core features a 12 inch diameter Velcocicore built into a 24” diameter foam center. This core is a great upgrade for the 152c target mat. The AR-152 comes standard with a 12” diameter Velocicore built into a 24” diameter foam core. The AR-172 features a 24” diameter Velocicore.

Badlands The Badlands 2200 Once again Badlands has left the competition in the dust. After a full year of R&D and customer feedback, the Badlands 2200 has been overhauled to take the ultimate hunting pack to new levels of performance.

At the core of this new design is the revolutionary ‘batwing’ layout. The batwings increase load control by adding additional compression, while the zippered openings at the top allow the user to carry longer objects, such as a tripod or spotting scope. Gear pockets flank the exterior of the batwing, giving the user access to an array of tools. The thermo-molded memory foam waist belt has been enhanced with our new split belt design, giving it the most ergonomic fit possible. The back panel has been complemented by deep channels for increased airflow across the back and a larger opening into the interior of the pack through the back panel access. All webbing, buckles, and zippers have been color coded to match the camouflage pattern, making the 2200 the stealthiest pack available. To make the already quiet glove grabber zipper pulls completely silent, all zippers will be housed in ‘garages’, isolating any un-natural movement. Another Badlands innovation, the ‘toothless zipper’ inverts the zipper, protecting the teeth from pre-mature wear from ice and dirt, while reducing un-natural movement and subsequent noise. An aircraft quality aluminum frame system, along with the 2200’s low center of gravity, allows the user to comfortably carry anything the hunters legs will handle. And as always, Badlands backs it all up with the industry’s only completely Unconditional Lifetime Warranty. The new 2200 is sure to be at the top of every hunters wish list.

No Guts No Glory! By Jon Dudley

There is a song that I once learned in children's church. The song says “He has the whole world in his hands." You know in an archery tournament that is a pretty accurate saying. There are many parts of your equipment that are very important to your archery' success. My archery version of that song would go "you have the whole tournament in your hands.” 1 think your mechanical release is arguably the most important accessory you have. If not the actual release then definitely what happens in the back half of your body at full draw until shot execution. Whether you are willing to admit it or not, how your release is functioning dictates the execution of the rest of your shot sequence. We have all also heard the saying "No guts. No Glory.” I want you to keep this saying in mind and remember it. My goal here is to show you how to properly set and maintain the “Guts” of your release aid. 1 have for the majority of my competitive career used and supported Carter Enterprises. In my opinion there is no question that Jerry Carter is the best release aid designer and manufacturer in the World. The success of the releases over the last decade will prove that. I know that at one time I thought that the release aid was such a complex mechanism. To open it up would seem taboo. I f I wanted to try a new spring tension or need to clean my release aid 1 would have to send it back to Carter to do this for me. The reality is they are NOT that hard to maintain and adjust. You can do this yourself with some guidance and it will help you in your mental game knowing that your equipment is perfect for your event. Before getting into cleaning and adjustments lets first take a look at the Guts of your release aid and get familiar with the parts and name of the parts for your carter trigger releases. COMPONENT NAMES The internal components of your release are comprised of Pins (1), Springs (2), Screws (3), Trigger (4), Cocking Lever (5), Sear (6) and the Hook (7). That’s it! The function of the springs is pretty obvious. They are what allow for different tensions or pressures to cause the release to fire. The

most common weight springs are 30#, 43#, 95# and 125#. The sear spring have two weights, light and heavy. The releases that are purchased off the shelf are most likely to have the 43# springs in them. The pins have two purposes. First, is to hold the release casings in alignment. They also allow for the trigger, cocking lever, sear and hook to pivot on them. The four other components all work together to make the release function. By pushing in the cocking lever you are activating the sear to allow you close the hook onto the bow and it also loads the trigger making it active to fire. Now that you understand the internal parts of your release lets talk about how to open yours up to see these parts first hand. SEPARATION

screws should be on the same side of the release. There should be anywhere from 3 to 4 screws. Now that you have the screws all the way out, you have to pui them back in. The trick here is to only twist the screws in about 1/4 turn at the most. This will leave about 90% of the screw remaining out ol the casing. Once you have all the screws in this position it would be wise to place it in a plastic zip-lock baggy. There are 2 reasons for the plastic baggy. The first reason for the baggy is to contain al! your parts once the release is opened. I would recommend working on your release

in this baggy during the entire duration of your maintenance. Believe me it is really frustrating to have a springs shoot across the room and have to find it! Now that the release is in the baggy you are going to hold the release flat with the exposed screws facing down and SLAM it down onto a very hard surface. As a rule of thumb I know my

Opening the release or separating the casing is really easy. First take off the trigger post or adjusto trigger knob. Then, take your release and loosen the screws that arc holding your casing together. All these 134

THE U.S. and INTERNATIONAL ARCHER Inc.

wife doesn’t really appreciate doing this step on the kitchen table! This allows the exposed screws to drive the 2 halves of the casings apart. Sometimes you may have to repeat this step a few times. If the release is really old or ifthe pins are rusty this could

be difficult. Once the casing is separated you can fully remove the screws. You may need to use something thin, flat and smooth to pry the casing totally apart. Take precaution in doing this because you can easily mar the casing and make it really noticeable to all your friends that you didn't do this properly. Make sure you keep the release in the baggy when you fully separate it. Now that your release is apart you can either clean it or make changes to your parts. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE It is very important for you to make annual cleaning of your release. Dirt, dust, lint and rust can all cause your release to misfire and cost you valuable points. The easiest way to clean out your release is to use some type of aerosol electrical cleaner. Use something that does not have any type of oil in it that will collect dust and dirt for example Wd-40. You can spray out the grime with this cleaner and also use a Q tip to remove access debris. Once the cleaner is used it is preferred to use a compressed air can to blow off anything left over and to dry off the parts before closing. If nothing has been moved since opening the casing it should be easy to close it and place the screws back in. CHANGING SPRINGS I personally like to change the spring tension in my releases several times throughout the year. I like to do this depending on the style of shooting, terrain, release style or hand positioning, and because of the amount of time I have to properly execute a shot. I would recommend if you are wanting to increase or decrease spring tension that you order the preferred springs as a set. Mismatching May-June 2005 - Call us at toll free 888-250-3321

the springs can cause a release to not function properly. There are usually only 3 springs to worry about, the trigger spring, cocking spring and sear spring. Over the years these springs have taken different shapes and lengths depending on the model release. If you were to specify the release you had when ordering parts it would help in assuring getting the correct ones. I like to install the smaller springs first which are, the sear and trigger springs. Simply compress them using a thin flat object and insert them into the designated slot. Next you will need to install the cocking lever spring. The springs are coiled and where the coil stops on each end there is a lip of the spring. A helpful hint is to make sure this lip is facing down when you install it in the casing. This prevents that lip from catching on the other half of the casing when you are trying to close it. After closing

the casings, actively cock and fire the release. If everything is functioning properly you can now place the screws back into the casing to hold the release together. If it is not function properly then you need to open the casing back up and check spring positioning. SETTING TRIGGER TRAVEL The trigger travel adjustment is changed using the screw in the trigger itself. This screw is used only to adjust travel it does not drastically change the amount of pressure you need to fire the release. Too many times I have noticed people loosening that screw because they said the release was too light. All they did by loosening that trigger was to make it have all kinds of movement in it before it fires. That movement is something that your mind picks up on and causes you to have target panic. When set properly a carter release should have zero travel regardless of the preferred trigger tension. To adjust this to optimum settings you should cock the release and slowly tighten the trigger screw until you hear the release fire. Then back the screw off about 1/8 of a turn. Try 135

cocking the release again and try firing the release. I f you feel movement before it fires then you need to tighten the screw slightly. If the release fires as soon as your finger touches the release then it is too fast and you will need to carefully back out the trigger screw. Ultimately your release should feel like a clean, crisp trigger off a $10,000 rifle. Regardless of what springs you have in your release, the travel should be non existent. T.S SYSTEM I. This year Carter has come out with what they are calling the I.T.S system. This system allows you to remove one screw on the release casing and upon removing the screw a small block with eject. Under that block is the spring that controls the trigger tension. This system allows for easy change of preferred tension screws and cleaning is much easier because it can be done by not opening the casing. You can simply remove the I.T.S. block and spray the cleaner inside the hole and then blow out the excess using the compressed air. 1 have been using this for the last few months and let me tell you it is really nice! It’s one of those ideas where you say to yourself. “Duh. why didn’t I think of that?" When I received mine I instantly appreciated the ease of making changes to it. THINGS TO REMEMBER This process is really very simply and is also very important. Don’t be fooled, how your release is functioning plays a big part in your mental game. If your release is set properly and your shot is executed properly you should have a totally un-anticipated shot. 1 have learned the hard way that neglecting your release can cause problems at the worst times. 1 like to go to a tournament knowing that if something is going to go wrong it will be because of me, not my equipment. These processes are pretty simple but for if some reason you messed up and did something wrong don't fear, Carter has seen almost everything over the years and they will fix it. Remember earlier when I said there are 2 reasons for the plastic baggy? Well, the other use for the baggy is to zip up all your unassembled parts and mail it back to Carter for them to put it back together for you! All kidding aside you can either learn to do this yourself or pay someone else to do it. The fact is, at some point it will have to be done. Take my advice and do it before you realize you need to.

Commonwealth Journal of Somerset,

Local Archers hit their mark! Somerset, Pulaski high school students among the best in NASP National Archery event By STEVE CORNELIUS CJ Sports Editor

LOUISVILLE — Kentucky Wildlife Officials, Corporate archery representatives and pretty much everyone in attendance at the 2005 National Archery in Schools (NASP) Championships were hovering around the participants from Somerset Schools and Pulaski County Schools. Maybe they were wondering just what was making all these sharpshooters from one concentrated area to be the best in the nation. The two local schools proved to be

among the elite in the rising sport of archery as Pulaski and Somerset combined for three national team trophies, two national individual titles and four individual college scholarship awards. Pulaski County's Ashley Rose captured her second consecutive national individual female championship title with a 30-shot score of 283. Rose was followed by Somerset’s Mariko Nishimura, who finished as national runner-up with a 279 score. Somerset's Rebecca Wesson tied for fourth nationally with a score of 274.

On the boys’ side, it was a small Hopkins Elementary student that stunned his larger high school counterparts and recorded the third best score overall in the national event. Fourth-grader Taylor Cundiff scored a 286, which gave him a national third place ranking and earned him some college scholarship money which he will get to use some 8 years from now. Cundiff was also named national elementary school champion. “There is no more pressure than little Taylor Cundiff getting up there and

in this year’s event. Archery is likely to be a Kentucky High School Athletic Association sanctioned event by next school year and Richardson said that many other states came to this year’s national event in hopes of expanding their archery programs in their receptive areas. But as much as the sport has grown, Richardson was astounded by the participation and dedication from the participants from the Pulaski County area. “It has amazed me how the sport of archery has taken off in the Pulaski County area,” Richardson said. “It is even more amazing the way these kids have embraced the sport of archery and the time they have devoted to the sport." “It did not surprise me to see all the kids from Pulaski County area on the award stands today, because I know how seriously they take their archery' at Pulaski county and Somerset,” she said. Serious indeed, as several of the Northern parents were amazed by how much time their young children were putting into this new sport. “My son (sixth-grader Tucker McAplin) practices archery seven days a week." Bob McAplin said. “(Northern Coach Gail

Begley) has the gymnasium open at 5 a.m. in the morning for the kids to practice nearly every day.” “They even had practice today at 5 a.m. in the morning (prior to traveling to Louisville for the national championship event)," he said. For Northern Middle School, archery has become the new sports craze which is having a positive effect on the students that participate in the new sport. "It use to be that basketball and football were the big sports — now archery rules at Northern Middle School," Northern Middle School Coach Gail Begley said. "Archery has provided an opportunity for kids that don’t compete in the nontraditionai sports." "Archery has improved attendance in the many kids that participate in archery and it has taught kids self-discipline as well as self-control.” Begley said. It was obvious at the self-pride of the Northern team as they walked tall and proudly in the Kentucky Convention Center wearing their new 2004 national champion team shirts.

spread a mile down the road to Somerset schools as they too are experiencing a ever­ expanding archery program and the awards to go with it. However. Somerset Coach, as well as high school principal. Tommy Floyd has taken a different approach to the sport that is giving large number of kids in his school system to excel at the national and state level. "We are not afforded the facilities nor the amount of time to practice that other schools are able to. but we have developed a sport that is open to anyone that wants to participate and no one is turned away,” Floyd said. "We have been doing this for three months now, practicing 2 days a week and competing in 2 weekend events. Everyone involved in this sport gets absolutely no pay and we have several fundraisers through the year to pay our way here today." Floyd said, "and we do all of it for one thing — it’s fun." “In my 20 years of education, I have never been around something that is so openly available to any kid that wants to participate,” he said.

Somerset High School student Josh Pence has been active in several sports and plays in the high school band, but he found archery to be enjoyable and more ofa mind challenge than a athletic type of sport. “My grandfather got me involved in archery when I was a Cub Scout, so I was extremely excited when Somerset offered this sport, “ Pence said. “This sport is more of an mind game than athletic skill in some respects. You can be in a wheelchair and still be able to compete in archery.” “Archery is a sport with no physical limitations,” Pence concluded. The limitations to how well the local schools will be in this new sport, will be something to look forward to for years to come.

Congratulations to all competitors, coaches, parents, sponsors and volunteers for the outstanding event. Each and everyone of you played an important part in the 2005 NASP Championships.

THE U.S. and INTERNATIONAL ARCHER Inc.

ATA-sponsored research finds the National Archery in the Schools Program provides quality experiences for students while improving phy-ed classes. A survey commissioned by the Archery Trade Association to review the National Archery in the Schools Program found that NASP makes a lasting impression on students, inspiring many of

them to pursue the sport and improve their views of school and physical education. The in-depth survey was conducted in November 2004 by Responsive Management, a research firm in Harrisonburg, Va., that specializes in recreation and natural resource research. The firm sent surveys to 50 of Kentucky’s 487 physical education instructors who have been certified to teach archery since NASP began there in 2002. This generated nearly 1,500 completed questionnaires to tally and analyze. Mark Damian Duda, executive director of Responsive Management, said NASP is achieving results on several fronts. “The program works for all three of the principal areas: students. teachers and the archery industry," he said. "Students like it, they find it exciting, it improves their physical-education class, and it improves their self-esteem. Educators like NASP because it improves their curriculum and motivates students. And the archery industry likes NASP because it looks like it will become a good recruitment and retention tool.” After Kentucky launched the two-week introductory' program three years ago, NASP rapidly spread nationwide as educators folded it into their physical-education curriculum for grades 4 through 12. The course teaches students the basics of target archery'. while introducing them to archery’s history and its equipment. By early 2005, the program was part of the physical-education curriculum in 260 Kentucky schools, roughly 20 percent of the state’s school system. And in March 2005. Florida became the 24th slate to launch NASP, with Mississippi expecting to become the 25th in May 2005. The program's director. Roy Grimes of the

to the next step. If local archery dealers don’t ‘adopt’ an after­ school program, get in touch with teachers, and be part of NASP, they’re missing out on a great way to make archery part of their community.” The survey also provides vital information to state and federal wildlife agencies. “This survey provides a credible stack of data to share with agencies as we promote archery in the schools,” said ATA president/CEO Jay McAninch. “One of NASP’s strengths was that Kentucky secured buy-in between its education and natural

resources agencies when it launched the program. Agencies provide long-term stability for staffing and funding programs like NASP. and they inject instant credibility by making it a state initiative. In return, when agencies invest archery excise-tax dollars into school programs, our industry wins and the agencies see tangible results in the form of new license-buying archers and bowhunters.” For more information on the study, “National Archery in the Schools Program Student Survey, ” contact ArrowSport, an ATA nonprofit foundation at (866) 266-2776, ext.

THE U.S. and INTERNATIONAL ARCHER Inc.

Commonwealth Journal of Somerset, Kentucky An All-Local Shootout Archery experts Wesson, Rose take SHS-PC rivalry to a national level By STEVE CORNELIUS CJ Sports Editor LOUISVILLE — Wednesday at the NASP National Championships in Louisville, Ky., the familiar SomersetPulaski rivalry went national for the first time in front of thousands of screaming spectators from all over the southeastern United States. No, it wasn’t a football or basketball game. No, it wasn’t for bragging rights or a district title. The rivalry was between two of the top national high school archery athletes, from two of the top national high school archery teams, shooting it out for college scholarships (donated by tournament sponsors). Ashley Rose of Pulaski County High School and Rebecca Wesson of Somerset High School scored among the top four female national archery finalists in Wednesday’s National Archery in Schools Program (NASP) Championships, which set up the stage for a scholarship shoot­ out. Somerset’s Mariko Nishimura, who finished as the national female runner-up, was also among the female finalists in the scholarship shoot-out. After three rounds of elimination. Rose and Wesson were the only two archers standing. The two girls attend separate schools, yet they are related as cousins and their love for the sport of archery. Rose, the defending 2004 national archery champ, wore ‘maroon and white’ and seemed calm on the exterior as she captured her second consecutive national crown. “I had a little bit more experience in archery, but this was the first time I had ever shoot in front of a large crowd like this,” Rose said of the one-on-one shoot­ out. “I was shaking so bad it was hard for me to do what I had to do.” Meanwhile, Wesson, who had only started competing in archery two years ago, wore 'purple and gold’ and her eyes were filled with tears of excitement.

Rebecca (Wesson) couldn’t even pull the bow back,” Somerset Coach Tommy Floyd said. “He sister Laura won this event two years ago and Rebecca worked hard to be able to compete at the level her sister does.” Among all the Pulaski-Somerset athletic battles between the two local schools over the past 50 years, this match-up was by far the most dramatic with the most at stake (college scholarships) and, for the first time, before a national crowd. And the two female athletes, representing their respective schools, put on an athletic show of epic proportions. In the final shoot-out, Wesson and Rose were lined up about 30 feet apart as they shot at separate targets from 15 meters out. With each shot, the crowd roared with joy as one-by-one these two sharp-shooters nailed the center circles. In their final five shots, each had pierced the center circle four times apiece, thus resulting in a tie score; hence a one-arrow shoot-out. The excitement in the large Louisville International Convention Center grew to a frenzy as the two high school freshman archers were put in the most pressure-pack situation imaginable. As the two girls stood toe-to-toe in their respective shooting lanes, Rose fired first piercing the yellow center circle fro a perfect one-shot score. “I was shaking so hard that Coach Floyd kept telling me to breathe and calm down before I shot,” Wesson said. “It was amazing having all these people behind you as you shoot.” Wesson now had to gather her nerves and try' to match her rival’s (and cousin’s) mark. Just as the crowd had quieted down from Rose’s perfect strike. Wesson released her arrow with a determined glare. Wesson’s arrow hit the center yellow circle like a guided missile, leaving the crowd cheering and a bit perplexed on how the tournament officials were going to determine a winner. 153

After several minutes of Kentucky Wildlife Archery Coordinator Jennie Richardson comparing both targets, it was determined that Wesson had edged out her rival cousin, Rose by a mere 1/8 inch. Exhausted by emotions and the intense pressure, Wesson and Rose nearly collapsed in each others arms as they embraced in a hug in front of Wesson’s winning shot. The two girls walked armin-arm back to their receptive cheering teammates. “(Ashley Rose) was getting all the big time first place wins and I just wanted to beat her once,” Wesson said of her scholarship shoot-out win. Rose won the overall national title and Wesson placed fourth, but the shoot-out between the four finalists was for different levels ofscholarship money. Rose, Wesson and Nishimura all won scholarship money in the female shoot-out, while Hopkins Elementary fourth-grader Taylor Cundiff won scholarship money amongst the boys’ shoot-out. Rose, competitive by nature, was happy to take second place to a familiar family friend. “1 would rather lose to Rebecca than someone I didn’t know,” Rose said. “1 guess we kept it all in the family.” Ashley Rose and Rebecca Wesson gave archery fans the ultimate skilled shoot-out exhibition under intense pressure. Ashley Rose and Rebecca Wesson gave a lesson to everyone in sportsmanship and showed the truest nature of athletic competition. Ashley Rose and Rebecca Wesson, the two school’s finest representatives, took the Somerset-Pulaski rivalry to the national level for everyone to see. ())>>',

Coach’s Corner Stop Grabbing the Bow by Bernie Pellerite © 2005

Bernie Pellerite

Author's Bio: Bernie Pellerite is a Professional Level IV Master Coach and has 10 animals in the top 10 of the S.C.l. Bowhunting World Record Book. He's a leading technical writer and archery analyst, published in many foreign countries as well as several U.S. archery magazines and recently re­ published a 2nd edition of his book, “Idiot Proof Archery" (ad on page 130) He is president of Robinhood Video Productions with 37 titles to offer, and is the inventor of 3 back tension release aids: Bernie’s Missing Link, Bernie's Knuckle Under and The Bernie's Can't Punch™ which eliminates punching and target panic. Also, he manufacturers “Bernie's PanicMaster and Bow Simulator”, Bernie’s Laz-Air, which is similar to the once popular air-bow and a line of custom stabilizers called “Bernie’s Control Freak." As a professional coach, he created the world-famous NFAA Shooter’s School and now runs his own school called “The School of Advanced Archery”, which also certifies advanced level instructors as an option. Bernie and his wife, Jan, will be conducting these exciting shooter’s schools, which are also available on six video tapes.

By now, most archers know that “grabbing the bow” is a big no no! It is a form of “dynamic torque,” which is torque at or during the release. I’m sure a lot of you know that it’s a habit that you should break if you have it, and there are some simple remedies. When we video each student in the shooter's school and play it back later in slow motion, quite often we will “bust" someone “grabbing the bow” before or during the release (see photo A). Can you imagine how much you can influence the flight of an arrow ifyou move

the bow by grabbing it right al the moment of release? Most shooters who shoot-andgrab don’t influence the shot all the time because sometimes, the arrow is gone before they grab. But frequently, because of anticipation, they’ll grab-while-shooting or grab-then-shoot! This is usually where they get some of their unexplained “fliers.” Occasionally, you’ll see archers with their

bow hand fingers sticking out straight and tense (see photo B). I guarantee that they used to (or still do!) grab the bow . .. and this is their solution. One of the best solutions is to hick and relax your 3rd, 4th and 5th fingers in against the grip. Leave only the index finger and thumb out. This is a great hand position and a lot of top shooters shoot this way. Lightly touch the front of the riser with the tip of your index finger (see photo C). This will give you a secure feeling without affecting the shot. Whatever you do, don’t pinch or “crab claw” the bow handle with your hand . . . you’re defeating the whole purpose. Tucking three fingers under will also help

Photo C: Tuck and relax your 3rd, 4'h and 5lh fingers against the bow handle. Leave only the index finger and thumb out... it’s the most Idiot Proof way! you keep from putting too much hand in the bow. Consequently, the forearm is not as close to the string and therefore, there is less chance of hitting your amt.

Use a Bow Sling I highly recommend that everyone use a bow sling. They are inexpensive and can help you have a good, clean release. The way it fits you is important, though. If it’s too tight, it can cause torque. If it's too loose, you’ll continue to grab the bow ... because you won’t trust it! Sort of like having an 11 foot safety rope in a 10 foot treestand! The sling should allow the bow to jump out of your hand, no more than about % of an inch. Any more than that and you won’t feel secure and you won’t trust it. There are three common types (see photos). I use the finger type sling, which is simply a loop around the thumb, and around the front of the bow, then attached by another loop to the index or middle finger. Another type is a rope sling that is THE U.S. and INTERNATIONAL ARCHER Inc.

looped around your wrist (like a lasso) and the loose end has a hook on it that you pass between your fingers, around the bow, and hook on to the loop on your wrist. The third and probably most common is the kind that attaches directly to the bow. It’s usually a strap or a plastic or rubber tube that you simply slip your hand through when gripping the bow. These, however, were originally designed for Finger Sling hunters and are usually the ones that are either too tight or too loose and can cause more problems than they solve. If you have this type or want to use this type, make sure it is adjusted properly. Note: You may find it needs to be much looser when hunting, so you can get in and out of it more quickly. Fortunately, this is a habit that doesn’t take very long to break. First, make sure your sling is adjusted properly. Next, get about 5 feet away from the bale. When you release, stare at your bow hand. Don’t worry about any other part of your form. Just concentrate on your bow hand. Spend your whole practice session working on only this... not grabbing the bow. Gradually, your subconscious will leant to trust the sling. You’ll be surprised by how quickly this bad form flaw will go away. But remember, you must have a trustworthy sling. The grip of the bow is sort Rope Sling of like the seat of your car. Regardless of what’s under the hood, if that driver's seat fits you and feels good, you’ll probably like the car! I’ve known guys who have traded in a perfectly good bow, “because it didn't feel right in my hand.” Chances are it was just the bow grip and there are quick and cheap remedies. You can take the existing handle off completely or put a different one on. Or, just modify the one you have by building it up or sanding it down. A comfortable grip and a sling that you trust can make a world of difference when you need it most! /Editor’s note: The preceding article is an excerpt from Bernie's book “Idiot Proof Archery” (See ad on page 130).

Robert’s Rules UNDERSTANDING ARROW TRAJECTORY IS VERY INTERESTING

Bob Ragsdale

How to hit those really close in targets such as the NFAA Bird/Bunny and others. You know how we are when trying to brag about something we don't really understand, it can get pretty silly sometimes. For example 1 recently heard a young man trying to brag about how fast his dad's rig was by saying. “ and his arrow is still rising when it hits the target. ” After reading this he will realize that his statement has to be an impossible exaggeration, with the only exception being that it is possible when you are standing so close to your target that your arrow has not had enough time to rise up and reach your line-of-sight. With all the rumors and myths about how wonderful it is to shoot a "fast" arrow it has gotten pretty silly in some other areas as well. The exaggerations involved have caused many archers to throw common sense to the winds and pay any costs simply to get their arrow up another 2 or 3 FPS faster to compete or hunt with thinking it will actually perform some magic not possible any other way. Instead of falling into that trap I’d like to suggest you stick with the simple basics. Start by using no more peak weight than you can handle easily and then leant how to alter and improve the shaft size you select for a better spine match for optimum arrow performance. Then, concentrate on achieving perfect sight settings and learn to understand how important it is in archery to know the exact distance to the target. In that vein 1 ofTer the following trajectory information. LINE OF SIGHT. The absolute straight line from your eye to the point on the target you are aiming at and intend to hit is your visual "line ofsight" with a rifle, bow or cannon. This term applies only while locating and then aiming at your target. I love this old cliche that reminds us that; “Everything we shoot at is a target, we are all target shooters. ” TRAJECTORY PATH. Everyone basically understands that when you try to throw a baseball as far as you can you try to launch it at a 45 degree angle to obtain the maximum distance possible. For those who do not know, if you go higher than that it will fall short by that much. That is, if 2 identical projectiles are launched at the same time, at 44 and 46 degrees they will both impact the same distance downrange but the one on the 46 degree trajectory path will go higher and take just a little longer to arrive. Point being that they each took a different trajectory path although they were both travelling at the same velocity. This phenomenon also not only comes into play when attempting to allow for uphill and downhill angles but also points out that a trajectory path is measured by how far it rises midway to the

Figure 1. The straight broken line from the “eye” represents your “line-of-sight” to the intended target at point C. From your eye level down to the arrow waiting on the arrowrest at hill draw (point A) is called your “peep-height” which is 4 inches in my case. The arrow trajectory path from point A to C is from the arrowrest to the intended target. Your peep height and arrow velocity determines how far downrange your arrow will be before it reaches the crossover-point to cross your visual line-of-sight at point B. These days for most adults the distance is from about 4 to 22 yards downrange before it climbs high enough to reach your line-of-sight at point B. The faster the arrow and higher the peep, the farther downrange it will occur as shown in Figure 2. target before falling virtually an equal amount on the second half of the trip. SPEED IS NOT THE GAME BUT ACCURACY IS. For example, as you look at Figure I envision that on every shot your arrow is waiting on the arrowrest about 4 inches below your line of sight. Then, on the shot it must first travel several feet forward before it rises enough to reach and then cross your line of sight. Then, it continues to climb until peaking at halfway before falling an equal amount on the second half of the trip. Notice in Figure 2 that the 2 arrows at different speeds will each impact correctly at the target downrange after taking different paths with the slower arrow required to reach the line-of-sight more quickly. Notice in Figure 2 that if both archers were to use the same distance setting when actually aiming at a closer target (B & Y) in error, neither arrow will have enough “fail-time” to complete their programmed trajectory path so each will impact “high” due to arriving earlier than intended. Yes, as you can see, the impact error truly is less for the faster arrow but nowhere near as beneficial as it appears with this crude drawing. For example, when using a 40 yard setting while actually standing at 38 yards, a 50 FPS increase (that’s fifty) from 250 FPS to 300 FPS will only reduce the impact error from 2.19 inches down to a 1.52 inch miss. Or, 13 thousandths (.013) ofan inch (2 sheets of typing paper thick) for every 1 FPS you manage to increase above 250.

Figure 2. The higher trajectory path is the slower arrow that must rise to a higher apex enroute the target after it reaches and crosses the line-of-sight more quickly as represented by point A. The “flatter” trajectory path of thefaster arrow causes it to travel farther downrange before reaching the line-of-sight at point X as both impact correctly downrange. 156

Too Good To Be True? By Michael Linsin

Michael Linsin

A few days ago 1 was perusing an archery' discussion board online when my name popped up as part of a discussion about strength training. Someone mentioned my website and how 1 promoted improving archery strength in only one training session per week. Another writer responded by wondering if this was “too good to be true.” The fact is, for archers who shoot at least a couple of times a week—and even for most who don't— training once-per-week at the level of intensity that I recommend is ideal. Two recent best selling books, Power of 10 and The Slow Burn Fitness Revolution, are a testament to the trend of less training equaling better results. Both books recommend training less than 30minutes and only one day per week. The success and popularity of both programs for those wanting to get stronger and bum fat has been remarkable. For archers. limiting your strength training to only once during the week is even more important than for the general public because when you practice your shooting, you are slowly fatiguing your archery muscles with every shot. Overtraining then becomes a real threat. Adam Zickerman, the author of Power of 10, says in his book, “Rest and recovery is the one great pillar of fitness that most programs completely neglect.” Overtraining—which can lead to slow progress, frequent colds, persistent soreness, lack of motivation, injuries, and insomnia—can sneak up on you if you're not careful. Allowing a full seven days rest between workouts can serve as a protector against the ravages of overtraining, and can ensure that you'll keep progressing in your desire to get stronger and become a better archer. It's possible that some people may see greater results by strength training more often. We all have different genetic capabilities. However, for a sport like archery, where much of your improvement can be traced to the amount of time you

practice, a long break from shooting due to injury from overtraining may not be worth the risk. Training one day a week has been shown to be an effective and sure-fire way to increase strength, so why take a chance? Once-per-week strength training is nothing new and has been commonly practiced for many years. The key to its effectiveness is training at high intensities. Forty years ago, Arthur Jones, who invented the Nautilus machines and is known as the father of high intensity training, showed that training one set until muscular failure produced better results than the old school training methods of many sets and long training sessions. The term “high intensity training” generally refers to doing as many repetitions as you can—while using good form. The Archery Strong program, which is from my book of the same name, involves doing two sets of each exercise at high intensity. The idea is to completely fatigue the muscles during short bursts of exertion, and then giving them plenty of time to recover fully before the next training session. Each week, you challenge yourself to improve upon the week before by increasing the number of repetitions— which happens naturally due to your improved strength. Pete Sisco, author of Power Factor Training has long been a proponent of training one day a week or less. His research studies have revealed that it’s possible to continue increasing strength by training only once every two weeks, and he has even experienced success experimenting with training once every six weeks! The idea that we have to spend hours in the gym in order to make any progress has probably come from the world of bodybuilding, which is now just starting to admit to the worst kept secret in sports. Bodybuilding has been rife with steroid use and abuse since the early ‘70s that continues today. Their magazines are filled with freakish men and women advocating 2 hours per day muscle building schedules that give people the notion that they need to strength train six days a week to be successful. Nothing could be further from the truth, and unfortunately many “experts” working in the gyms are influenced by this idea. Of course, they also have their eyes on the bottom line. 158

Bodybuilders also have different goals from you and me, and believe it or not, they have a reputation for not being among the strongest people in the gym. They typically train only one body part at a time, which is not only incredibly inefficient, but also not particularly effective in improving the kind of strength you need for improved performance. To improve the strength you need lor a particular task, like archery, or even for everyday activities like raking leaves, you need to exercise your muscles as they interact with one another. Functional strength training is a very efficient and effective method of training that 1 have written about at length in the past—so I’ll only touch on it here. The key thing to remember is that this form of training will give you the full-body strength you need to become better at your chosen activity and to avoid injury. Once-per-week strength training is not “too good to be true.” It's a proven and reliable method of getting stronger for improved performance in archery, or any other sport or activity you wish. I love to exercise, and I workout almost every day. It’s rare that I take even one day off Six days a week I run, kickbox, or do some other aerobic activity. Cardiovascular health is important and I enjoy the endorphin rush, but my real love is strength training. If I could, I would strength train more often, but the threat of injury and overtraining, combined with the progress 1 continue to make, keeps me from training more than once a week. Much like the sport of golf, archery enthusiasts are just now beginning to see the performance enhancing benefits of a sound strength training program. Training the wrong way can lead to overtraining, expose you to an increased chance of injury, and interfere with you practice time. Test it yourself. Try a one day per week program that exercises your entire body, and watch your strength increase and your archery performance improve. Go back and look at the last five or six issues of US & IA and try incorporating the exercises I’ve recommended into a program for yourself.

The Shot Doctor Master Mental Imagery By Terry Wunderle

The Shot Doctor, Terry H'utiderle

The finals of the Junior World Trials were over, but they weren’t. I walked up to one of my young archers and said, ‘Tve got good news and bad news. The good news is that you made the Junior World Team. The bad news is the tournament is not over. You are tied for third and are in a twelve-arrow shoot-off.” The major difference between third and fourth is about $2,000, because the third place position is a paid trip. It was very obvious the pressure and tension were mounting. I placed my hands on Brenda Temperley’s shoulders to calm her and said, “Do your mental imagery.” She shot some arrows with her amis and some with only her mind until she reunited the bond between her mind and muscles. The match was very close, as it came down to the last shot. Brenda looked at the target and shot the arrow mentally. Next, she drew the bow and shot the most valuable arrow of her short career. It was a ten, worth a couple thousand dollars. She used the same mental approach at the Junior World Championship when the U.S.A. girls’ compound team won the gold medal. Mental imagery can calm fraying nerves and refocus an archer’s mind so he or she can shoot the best possible shot. Your mind can only focus on one thought process at one time. Make that thought pattern a positive one concerning your performance. Think and concentrate on making a shot with perfect form. How do you go about mastering mental imagery? Imagery is seeing and feeling an experience. Learn to shoot a perfect shot with your mind. Practice shooting your bow until your form feels perfect and the arrow is hitting the mark. Set your bow down and then shoot the shot with your arms. Shoot it numerous times until the shot feels the same as it did when the bow was in your hands. If you have trouble making the shot feel the same as it did when you were actually shooting, pick the bow up and shoot a few shots to reacquaint yourself with the feeling. Keep going back and forth shooting the shot witn and without the bow until it feels the same. Now look at the target and shoot the shot with only your mind. Feel the shot. Feel your back muscles pulling through the release. Feel the bow arm explode through the shot. Try to visualize the arrow hitting the mark. If you have trouble feeling the shot when shooting with your mind, go back and shoot some snots with just your arms until you re-establish the feeling. Shoot May-June 2005 - Call us at toll free 888-250-3321

some shots with your arms and some with your mind until the feelings become very familiar. Being able to duplicate the feeling with your mind is more difficult for some people. Keep practicing it and the feeling will become stronger. The more you practice mental imagery, the more pronounced the feelings of the shot process will become. Once you think that you have it mastered, then start putting it to the test. When you are watching TV, turn your head over your bow shoulder and see if you can mentally shoot a shot with perfect form. You should be able to see and feel the shot. The noise of the TV should be in the background, but it should have no importance. You might try the same thing the next time you are in a store, such as Wal-Mart. Stop and put your head over your bow shoulder. Picture a target down the aisle and see if mentally you can make a perfect shot. In your mind, there shouldn’t be anything in the store other than you and the target. If you can master this, then go to the next level. The next time someone

makes you mad. turn your head over your bow shoulder and see if you can make a perfect shot. The anger of the situation should be repressed and not be in the thought process when shooting the perfect shot. If you have trouble the first time that you attempt it, repeat the process so it will become easier. Yes, repressing anger and then mentally shooting a perfect shot is challenging. I fyou work and master it. you will then be ready for the big test. It is the start of the Indoor National Championship and the announcer says. "This end is for score.” This is when many archers “go mental." Now you have a tool that you can use to get refocused and shoot a shot with perfect form. Look at the target. shooting it mentally several times. This will help calm you down and refocus you on the task that you need to perform. Then physically shoot each shot with perfect form the same as you do in practice. Your most important piece of archery equipment is your brain. It can w'ork for you or against you. Learn to use it to your advantage. Stay focused and shoot perfect form.

SHOOT THE BEST. PERIOD. Keeping competitive archer’s in the winner’s circle since 1992.

Talent Vs. Practice By Roger W. Breternitz CChT

Did you ever know somebody in school that got good grades without ever studying, did you ever have a friend that seemed to be able to do almost anything right the first time without knowing anything about it? Were there people you knew that could be good at almost anything they tried with hardly any effort, and were actually good at almost everything. Didn’t it make ‘ya sick? You had to work your tail off just to keep up, just to stay even, let-alone surpass this person. That’s called TALENT! Some people have tons of it, just oozing out of their pours, but what do they do with it? They do what most over gifted/talented people do...they waste it. They get what they want so easily that they never really develop this ability to take them to the mountaintop that all of us would like to reach. They are so gifted in producing the desired results when first starting out that they think it will be just as easy to finally reach the goal of being number one that they never really put the work or practice into making that so. When reality sets in

and says, “Oh Oh, this was more work that I thought”, and they find out it takes more that just talent.. .they’re toast! Guess what, it's the little guy, who never joined the football team, or girl who never was a cheerleader, who never was the prom king, or Queen, who never had the fastest car in town, and nobody could remember what their name was. Its this little guy that ends up walking away with first place, because he/she realized it takes more that just talent to get to the top. Sound like Bill Gates??? This was the person who saw winning disguised as “Work”, in overalls, or nights alone on the practice range, or getting the knowledge needed to properly tune his or her bow. Talent is like a brand new shinny red Corvette. Il’s great fun to sit in, and smell the interior, get behind the wheel, feel your hand on the stick shift, and all that stuff you hear in the commercials. Practice is the gas you put into the tank. The car will run (if you’re going down hill), and you can stear it. It will be fun for a while, but...you never will really get anywhere until you put the gas in the tank. Moreover, it is the person with the minimal talent, but the maximum passion and practice that wins the race. Dillon Thomas said, “Unrewarded genius is proverb”. Meaning, until you put work and practice behind your amazing “Talent”, it doesn’t matter how much talent there is, it will still go unrewarded, unsung and unnoticed. So how do you actually “Fill up your tank” with the practice of hard work to get your Corvette in high gear? First take stock of your talent. Ask, what am I good at, what comes naturally, and what DON’T I have to work on. Then get tough on yourself, and ask “Where do I fall down, and what can I do about it.” Once you know this, the rest is sitting there in a spotlight for you to look at. THAT’S where many people fall down. They don’t like to look at their faults, their shortcomings, and where they need to PRACTICE. Practice is like jogging to get in shape, it’s boring, it’s work, and you HAVE to do it...if you want’a win that is. But...what about practice? Just being out there sticking holes in paper, wearing out your arm, is not enough. You have to practice smart, not just repeated. What is smart practice? Learning from what you did wrong is more important that just doing everything right. It is sometimes harder to 160

remember what you did right when you do it, because you’re so happy with the results you tend to forget how you got those results. That’s the first element in practicing smart, is to catalogue what you do, when it’s RIGHT. Don’t just dismiss it and be happy with the results. Have a small pad and pencil with you al all times and actually take some well written notes about your triumphs when things work out. It will be something you can always refer to when things DON’T work out, and that can be a big boost to your confidence when things are going down hill. Suddenly you remember who you really are, you’re the person that shot___ Xs in a row, you’re the person who won the shoot off between so and so and so and so, you CAN do it because of what you did before, just get into that place again, and you can create the same results again. When practice does not go well, and you are not getting the right answers, make notes as to why, how you feel at the time, what are you thinking, what are the conditions, what are your equipment settings. All these things go together to help or hinder you and if you don't know what the variables were at the time how can you change them to get the results you want. Practice smart and you will see how little things make the difference when you know what they are to begin with, because of your notes. Also let your mind practice when you can’t be at the range. The subconscious mind doesn’t know if your mental imagery comes from real experiences or just imagined experiences. Positive imagery is like steroids for the brain and you subconscious mind. So...imagine yourself shooting a perfect arrow, or even a perfect score. Take a moment while relaxing and imagine arrow after arrow hitting the X ring, dead solid perfect. This is what the pros in any sport do, and they do it all the time. It’s called PASSION...passion forthe sport you love, and want to be good enough to be number one. What you think about most becomes your reality. The next thing you’ll be having a great time, having loads of fun doing it for real, and on a regular basis. The best of luck and.

The Rumbling Water Challenge 1st leg o f the Southern Triple Crown By Brian Dansby

Dan Hart speaking to Pro Male Release shooter Justin Masrtin(left).

Senior Pro Champion Larry Odel!

The I BO Southern Triple Crown is a fairly new series of events being that it is now in only its fifth year. But, the younger brother of the old timer, the IBO National Triple Crown is growing not only in age and number of participants, but in reputation as well. The first leg of the Southern Triple Crown. The Rumbling Water Challenge was contested by approximately 470 shooters February 18lh through the 20lh in Wetumpka, AL and was hosted by Bennett's Archery. "The folks down south that are hosting these events are dedicated to their success." IBO President Ken Watkins said. "They’ve been doing all the things they need to do to improve the event that you are offering the competitors.” The tournament was shot at the scenic YMCA Camp Chandler and the organizers used the rolling hills and hardwood ridges to make the course very challenging. In recent years, archery coach and yardage judging guru Dan Hart has worked with the host clubs of the Southern Triple Crown in helping set the ranges. Hart by his own admission likes to play mind games with the shooters when he sets a range. He plays with light and shadows, target size and color and anything that the natural terrain gives him to confuse the shooters. At previous Southern Triple Crown shoots Hart simply moved a few targets around to best take advantage of a lane or a target. However, for this shoot he got a chance to get his hands dirty.

"Some times they cut the lanes, they have the targets setting there and I go out move them in and out or maybe move them from one lane to the next. Take advantage of whatever deception there might be on that target,” Hart said. "On this one I came down early enough we actually picked the course, the exact location of the targets.” "(Han) keeps it interesting," Pro Male Release Champion Allen Conner said. "He gives you a few short ones that you’ve got to get. Then the long ones they are there. That’s going to make or break your score right there, just staying in the 10 or 11 on the longer tougher targets.” Conner, of Attalla, AL took advantage of long and short targets alike as he shot a 420 with 22 elevens and had only one eight in 40 targets to defeat a talented field of pros. “My eleven count was decent but it wasn’t anything dramatic. I just stayed in the 10 and got the 11 when 1 was supposed to. I shot with a fantastic group,” Conner said. "Danny McCarthy, Tommy Gomez and Justin Martin. Me being the older guy I was a little intimidated to start with but they are a fantastic bunch of up and coming shooters to shoot with.” Larry Odell of Boaz, AL who won the Pro Senior Release division by shooting a 409 with 21 elevens agreed with Conner’s assessment of the course.

“He’ll wear your dial out on your sight,” Odell said of Hart’s long one target, short next target style of setting the course. “I had a good weekend,” Odell said. “I judged yardage good and made some good shots. I was proud of the 11 on the long spotted leopard. There was a lot of distance to it.”

Linda Owen must have been confused as to what part of this game is supposed to be hard. She won the Pro Release Female class with a 395 and 17 elevens. “I shot one of my highest scores on the whole D range and that was supposedly one of the toughest ranges,” Owen said. "I had to shoot first on both the Alligator and the

Mountain Lion. I shot a 10 on the Mountain Lion. On the alligator we couldn’t see the ten ring. I actually hit where I was aiming it wound up being an eight.” The D range was set as two 10 target courses. 11 through 20 was the talk around the scorers table. The range began on a very short turkey, but difficulty awaited. For example, Hart made the alligator the 19lh shot. But as shooters entered the range to shoot the turkey on the right side of the trail, the alligator loomed off to the left side of the trail for all to see, and think about for 8 targets. “1 missed it,” Joseph Goza said of the alligator. Goza of Sand Rock, AL shot a 396 with 17 elevens even with the miss. ”1 judged and shot great. 1 didn’t misjudge the alligator bad. I just misjudged it 2 Vi yards. It’s not a very big target. It was 46 yards and 1 shot it for 44.” “Those kind of courses set up good for me,” Goza said. “If you can shoot 10s on the long ones you’re going to come up with a good score because you can get some 11 s on the short ones. Also the short ones set up the long ones sometimes too. Make you maybe over judge them. If he puts a 45 out there you may judge it too long and vice versa when you come up to a short one you may judge it too short. But if you’re on you get to kind of take a breath and relax on the short ones and maybe shoot an eleven.” The final event of the Rumbling Water Challenge was the Alpine Binoculars Shootdown. The Southern Triple Crown has a three man winner take all team event grouping two amateurs and a pro shooter. Since a shooter can be on as many teams as they want the Shootdown which consisted of three teams only had 5 shooters in it including two pros, McCarthy and Gomez. The amateurs were MBR champion Martin Clough of Glencoe, AL, Keith Thomas of Boaz, AL who finished second in MBO and Bob Clark of Moorefield, WV who won the MSR. Each archer took six shots. The shooters showed how they reached the shootdown once they got in front of the crowd as the shooting was almost flawless. McCarthy and Gomez each hit elevens on five of the six shots. Of the 30 shots, Clough had the only 8. But Clough had the final laugh as he, McCarthy and Thomas split the $ 1000.00

Just shoot solid I Os. Get the 11 when you can. Let the others make the mistakes, Senior Pro Larry Odell, Boaz, Alabama reminded himself. It was Sunday morning, the final day of the second leg of the IBO Southern Triple Crown shoot in Rome, Georgia. Odell was tied with Randall Jones for third place. Burley Hall was leading the field and Les Bressler was in second place. Just hang on and see how it comes out. Odell counseled himself. Odell was shooting with Greg Thomas, Johnny Kennedy and Randall Jones. It was a good group. All four men have shot together before and have become friends on the archery tour. They were laughing, joking and having a good time. “When you have a group like that, you shoot better," Odell said later. “You shoot and you have fun. That is what this is all about.” Odell’s good humor was soon to be tested. On the last range of 10 McKenzie targets, the group came to an antelope target. The shot was long. It was also deceiving. Odell judged the distance to be between 43 and 44 yards. He made his shot. The arrow hit low in the foam body for a five. The target was really set at 47 yards. 166

Pro Male Senior Larry Odell knew that the wind was going to be a big factor in this tournament. His strategy was to shoot for solid 10s and let the other guys make the mistakes.

This was Odell's second five of the tournament. The previous day he had misjudged a long deer sitting up on a bluff. THE U.S. and INTERNATIONAL ARCHER Inc.

The target looked to be 52 yards. It was really only 47. He shot a five high. When Odell shot the second Ove, he figured his chances of placing were over. “In this league, you shoot two lives and you are probably not going to finish in the money,” he said. But, he also knew that the strong winds that had been gusting through the area all weekend were going to be a factor. He quieted his nerves and concentrated on his shooting. “We really got lucky,” said IBO President Ken Watkins. "The weather forecasts for this weekend weren't good. But, the rain didn’t come and it was warm and sunny. The biggest problem for the shooters was the wind.” It was near perfect early spring weather conditions at the Lock & Dam Park along the banks of the Coosa River just south of

Rome. The woods were still bare of undergrowth and vegetation, a reminder of the winter just ended. But the sun was shining and the birds were singing throughout one of those glorious early spring weekends when it seems everything is suddenly more alive. But, the warm temps came at a price. And, that was the wind. At times the wind was gusting up to 45 mph. The high winds definitely affected scores and shooting, especially on Friday and Saturday. By Sunday, the winds had abated some, although gusts still developed at times, drifting arrows off their mark for some archers. This is the fourth year of the IBO Southern Triple Crown series. The IBO is working to turn it into a major national tournament series so that it will attract more

support from major industry and non­ endemic sponsors. It is an uphill struggle for a new series such as this one. Sponsors want to see high shooter numbers before they will provide support. Archers want to

see sponsor support before they attend in large numbers. The bow companies are currently not paying contingency money to shooters at this event, although the two major arrow makers, Easton and Carbon Express have become supporters. The Southern Triple Crown is slowly making the climb to that magic level. Four hundred and seventy shooters turned out for this tournament, up about 20 from last year. And that was in spite of a rainy weather forecast. The host club, Seven Hills Archers, in cooperation with the Rome-Floyd Parks and Recreation Dept, set the course and the targets. This was the third year the tournament has been held on the rolling hills along the river. “They do a great job here,” Watkins said. "The shooters always have a good time here. Tom Watson and his crew work their hearts out making sure this tournament runs smoothly and archers have a good time. Just one example is that they are giving away 250 door prizes this weekend. These prizes include everything from new bows, arrows, tree stands, binoculars, and targets to hunting videos, caps and gift certificates. This tournament series is the best kept secret in the sport.” That the scries is challenging is no secret to competing archers. Ranges are set with the help and influence of archery coach Dan Hart. Hart is a master at using the terrain to make shots deceptive. His goals and the goals of all of the STC clubs are first, for shooters to have a good time, and second, for them to leave some points in the woods. Both goals were being met. 168

When Odell and his group got to the gobbling turkey target on the last range. Odell got a break that he needed. The other members of his group shot fives. He shot a 10. The scores were going to be close. When the final tally was made Les Bressler came out in first place for the Pro Senior Release class with a 392 score that included 13 elevens. Odell finished in second with a 385 and 16 elevens. Randall Jones was third with a 385 and 12 elevens. In the Pro Female Release class it was Linda Owen besting Ginger Morehead and Alecia Godfrey with a score of 386 and 11 elevens. Morehead was second with 366 and 12 elevens. Godfrey finished third with 345 and 7. In the Pro Male Release class Paul Thompson won handily with a score of 400 and 18 elevens. Scott Price finished second with a 392 and 9 elevens. Allen Conner took home third place money with a 391 and 15 elevens. For the Pro Men’s Fingers class, Herschel Holley, with an unchallenged weekend, shot a 343 score with 10 elevens. Larry Odell shoots a Mathews LX bow set at 69 pounds with a 29 inch draw length. The bow is equipped with a Sure-Loc sight and a Classic scope that includes a 4X lens. The bow has a Bodoodle Pro 500 arrow rest. He shoots Carbon Express arrows and uses a TRU Ball release and Leica binoculars.

Thanks, Dads! These Girls Can Shoot! by Sandy Trybulski Each became interested in the sport of archery because of their dads.

Samantha Kline bow: Matthews LX Arrows: Carbon Express Sight: Copperjohn

Samantha As a small girl, Samantha Kline would look through the hunting magazines brought home by her dad, Joe, and found them interesting. Because of her interest, Dad bought her a bow for her eighth birthday and she's been shooting ever since. She started with local shoots, and then at age 11, competed in the Cub class at the I BO Pennsylvania State Championship. Her mom and dad, with her younger twin sisters in tow, took her to the National Triple Crown and the World Championship tournaments. She won the National Triple Crown Championship, which is the highest accumulative score of 120 targets, at age 13. She skipped over the youth female class and jumped into the women’s open class because “I knew I could compete with them,” she says. She won her very first tournament, which was an ASA tournament in Gainesville Florida. Samantha stayed in the women’s open class for three years, winning the IBO World Championships in 2000 at age 14. She earned the ASA Shooter of the Year award in 2001, one of the youngest competitors in the class and won the 2002 ASA World Championship. She entered the semi-pro class in 2003, winning five tournaments as well as the National Triple Crown Championship. And now, at 170

age 18. she has graduated from high school as she completes her first year as a Women’s Pro, where she has had three top five finishes. Samantha says she’s the kind of person who has to stay busy all the time, otherwise she gets bored, and that’s when she slacks off. To help keep her busy, she played basketball all 4 years of high school in addition to her archery. She practices archery every day, usually for 2 hours, but the time varies. “If I’m shooting horrible one day, I won't shoot as much,” she says, taking advice from her dad. She judges yardage all the time. How does she prepare for a big tournament? “1 shoot every day, and if I’m not ready by then, I won't ever be! If I’m on that weekend or I'm not, I have to go with it.” To bring archery and kids together, Samantha believes the answer is “Getting it into the schools, it’s nowhere in schools here. Start them off when they’re young, in school. Kids need to turn off the TVs and computers. They have all the opportunity in the world and they don’t take advantage of it.” Samantha has grasped the opportunity. She says she has already reached her goal to shoot in the pro class. However, she’s still “hoping for my first win—for myself,” she says. And winning also means money, money that will come in handy for college. Samantha’s plans include college at Penn State University. Her winnings from archery have accumulated over the years to nearly $4000, which have helped pay her entry fees for the tournaments. She plans on continuing with archery while attending college, as the college is located close to home. While Samantha has the skills and talent to excel in archery, she has great appreciation for the support of the owners and operators of the Sportsmen’s Refuge Archery Shop in Cheat Lake, West Virginia, 17 miles from her home. “They do a lot for me,” she says. “They go above and beyond the call of duty,” adds Joe Kline. He himself is pretty special to Samantha: “Dad takes me everywhere I have to go.” Another important person in Samantha’s archery world is Mike Priester. His assistance has been invaluable, and has been making strings for Samantha’s bow for five years. “He has come through in a THE U.S. and INTERNATIONAL ARCHER Inc.

pinch more than once,” says Joe. Samantha looks up to women’s pro shooters Jeanna Allbritian, because she combines her nursing career with archery, like Sam would like to do, and Ginger Morehead. Samantha says, “it doesn’t matter how Ginger shoots, she has a good attitude, I see it every time I’m around her. She has a strong faith in God that 1 think is very important. If I have a bad day, I look forward to that. I hope I can do what she does, work and shoot.”

Cara Cara Fernandez got her first bow at age three. An only child living in the country in Michigan she watched her dad shooting his bow in the back yard with the neighbor boy, and thought, “why not with me?” At five, her dad took her to local competitions, and then she began competing at the national level in the Cub class at age ten. She believes she was the first female in the Cub class to win the I BO World Championship. Entering the youth female class, Cara placed in the top five at the World Championships over the next four years, winning the title in 2000. In 2003, she won the ASA Indiana ProAm, each leg of the IBO National Triple Crown as well as the overall championship, the Indoor World Championship, and the World Championship. During her senior year in high school she entered the Female Bowhunter Open class competing in the Indoor World Championship finishing in the middle but went on to Georgia to win that leg of the Southern Triple Crown. Like with Samantha’s winnings, the money from the scholarship program was held in an interest bearing account until graduation from high school and her IS* birthday. Cara says she “knew the scholarship stuff was there, but when I turned 18 and got my money—oh my god— it was $3,000!” She says it’s good the way the program is, not getting the money when you’re young, that the money stays there. She says, “It will really help with college expenses." Friends in school never really knew about her archery; she said she wasn’t one to go around telling everyone. Then in her freshmen year, the school did an article and Cara said, “The kids started calling me ‘archery girl’ and saying, ‘don't mess with her.’ 1 didn’t want it that way, I didn’t want to call attention to myself.” Her archery never interfered with school, as there was May-Junel 2005 Call toll free at 888-250-3321

a strict attendance policy, and didn’t affect her grades, “my parents never let it.” If anything, like with most students that have such an interest, it helps improve attendance as well as grades. The Archery in Schools program is proving just that. Archery to Cara “is a great time, it’s on! I don’t think of it as something I have to do. I think, ‘ I get to go’.” Jim Morrow from MJC Archery and Glenn Campbell have been great support, she says, as well as her mom and dad. Her dad, John, competes in the MBO class. Cara also practices everyday. She shoots a 3-D course of 15-20 targets four days a week, where she can go to four different courses, and then competes in a shoot every weekend. Judging yardage, she says, is a huge part of practice. Cara’s idol was pro shooter Laurie Watson. She thought her personality was great, and the way she handled people, Cara says, “she stood out.” Growing up, Cara asked pro shooters for their autographs, signing all over her shirt. “Now I have kids asking me for my autograph. “ she says. “That’s what’s cool. I’ve grown up in this world.” After a ninth place finish at the first leg

of the 2004 National Triple Crown in Bedford, she shot a 401 in Erie to take the lead for the National Triple Crown Championship. With the final leg at Nelsonville fast approaching, was she nervous? “Not a bit! I'm ready. I’m rearing to go! I'd love it to come out victorious!" And victorious it was. as Cara won the National Triple Crown championship, won the Nelsonville Challenge, and was on the winning FBO team. She will receive the Shooter of the Year Award for the FBO class at the World Championships in August. This award includes all entry' fees waived for the 2005 season. Like Samantha. Cara will be going to college close to home, and will continue with archery'. She looks forward to turning pro. “Every' girl dreams of doing it,” she says, but feels she has a lot of time to get ready. “I don’t want to jump in there too early. 1 want to be ready. When 1 go in there, I want to give it my all. I want to make sure I’m ready. You have to be able to be 150% on when you’re shooting pro."

Katelyn Another impressive record belongs to sixteen-year-old Katelyn McDonnell, who, like the others, became interested in archery from watching her dad shoot in the backyard getting ready for hunting. Her young career began when she started shooting local 3-D shoots at age 9. “Dad took me to Erie and the Worlds," she says. She won the World Championship in the cub class in 2000, and worked her way to win the World Championship in the youth female class in 2001.

Katelyn McDonnell Bow—Hoyt Cybertec Arrows—Easton ACC Sight—Custom Bow Equipment The next year, she won the National Triple Crown Championship, winning two of the three legs. She finished the season in second place at the IBO World Championships, her chance to compete for first thwarted when the finals were cancelled due to the weather. Katelyn then entered the Female Bowhunter Open class in 2003, as she completed her freshmen year of high school. She claimed the silver belt buckle with a second place finish, missing first by one point, in the overall National Triple Crown Championship. She started the 2004 season by winning the I BO Winter Nationals, flying to Texas with her mom from their Pennsylvania home. She took second at the Indoor World Championship, then second at the Southern

Triple Crown in Georgia behind Cara. She has been competing with Cara throughout the 2004 season, winning the first leg of the National Triple Crown, and finishing in third place in the overall championship for the bronze belt buckle. Katelyn’s friends “think it’s pretty neat “ that she competes in archery, and she has a lot of support from her school; “The principal loves me,” she says. “She has a lot of people supporting her and that’s important, said friend Michelle. Practice schedule for Katelyn includes shooting 3-D courses two or three times a week. “The more different courses I shoot, the better off I’ll be,” she says, and like Samantha and Cara, believes judging yardage is a big part of practice. "Me and my dad walk up to a target and I’ll guess the yardage, then he’ll zap it with the range finder.” Does she have her sights on the pro class? “Someday,” she says, and wishes there was still the option of the semi-pro class. “You have to go up the ladder the right way, you don’t want to be frustrated," advises her dad Derm. Katelyn’s message for young kids starting out is to “practice, and don’t expect to be good overnight." Her own frustration is her form, "I don’t think it’s as good as it should be.” she feels. Senior Pro shooter Les Bressler has assisted Katelyn. “He helps me prepare for the mental part of it, to keep me more focused while Tm shooting.” He has known her since she was ten. But he says, “Most of her success is because of her dad, taking her to all the shoots.” She loves the archery sport because she enjoys knowing so many people and seeing them from other states at all the shoots. With the ASA and IBO World Championships coming up, Katelyn says, “I can’t wait!” And neither can three dads. Author’s note: At the 2004 IBO World Championship, Katelyn finished 2"J in the FBO class, Samantha finished 2"d in the Women’s Pro, and Cara won the Mckenzie Shoot off, adding another $1,000 to her college fund, and she won a Suzuki 4wheeler in the Shooter of the Year Shootoff. As the 2005 season begins, Samantha finished 3"J in the ASA Coushatta Shootout, Cara won the IBO Indoor World Championship, just one point ahead of Katelyn in second.
