Corner By John Slack President, NFAA s you read this our outdoor tournament season is in full swing and in some areas the outdoor Sectional tournament may be over. I must admit, being from the west where basically we can shoot outdoor all year, I prefer outdoor shooting. However, the last several years I have noticed a growing phenomenon which I find hard to understand. I am referring to the growing number of guest classes. Generally the justification for a guest class is: "The new archer needs a place to shoot" and "If we don't have a guest class our shoot will lose money." My response to the guest class with awards situation generally is: would anyone deliberately cut themself in such a fashion they slowly bleed to death? Of course not. Then why slowly bleed the membership potential from your club or state association? Look at your guest class at your next shoot. I suggest you will know or recognize 95% or more. How can that be if they are "new archers"? Obviously they are not new to archery, they have simply learned they don't have to join anything to compete for awards. For perhaps a few dollars they can shoot at most of your tournaments for awards without working on the range or sup porting organized archery with their dues. If you truly feel a place is needed for the "new archer", have a guest class with no awards or recognition. If you and the other clubs in your area and state remove the recognition for guests, I think you will find they will join, and both they and your organization will benefit. I submit, when someone asks, "Why should I join?", they are really saying, I don't have to join because

equipment, then refuse to join organ ized archery for a place to shoot if that was the only way they could shoot in a tournament and see their scores posted. My closing thought on this subject is to look at those clubs that offer guests a place to shoot for an extra charge and no recognition at their tour naments. I think you will find that if they have a quality tournament, their tournament draws as much or more than those with large guest classes. Good news for indoor shooters! Our National indoor tournament has outgrown its current location, and for that reason only, we are moving to larger facilities. The new facility will provide space for unlimited shooters and an Archery/Sports show. We have felt for some time this type of combina tion is needed in the middle part of our country, and it will be a reality in March of 1988. All 1987 participants will receive a special invitation. If you didn't make the 1987 National Indoor tournament, don't miss 1988 — as the show aspect grows, so will the prize money! We need help department — There are some of our members (and I agree) that feel a college credit course built around archery and bowhunting is needed. Perhaps the right type of course funding in some form may be available. Our problem is not in our field of expertise — I am looking for someone knowlegeable in the educa tion and archery field to work with a committee to formalize and actualize such a program. If you have such knowlegeand are interested in building such a program, or being one of the benefactors of a college credit course, drop me a line and I'll coordinate such an effort. State Presidents — At the 1987 annual meeting, the Directors voted 100% to support the NFAA constitu tion. What this could mean for some of you is that shortly you may receive a letter from Headquarters telling you that your state is not meeting its obliga tions as the official representative of the NFAA. If this situation exists in your state, once you have received notice don't waste time - work with your state Director and resolve the situation f you don't, you could find yourself no longer the official NFAA organization for your state. If you have any ques tions check article 3, B of the NFAA constitution.

of the arrow along its flight path to the target which is related to the stiffness of the arrow shaft itself. Both recommended corrective pro cedures make reference to the "Bare Shaft Planing Test" which requires the archer to shoot at least three fletched arrow shafts from a distance of 10 or 15 yards followed by two or three iden tically aimed unfletched or "bare" shafts at the target. If the unfletched shafts plane upward and impact above the point where the fletched shafts group (Fig 3), the archer is instructed

the same relative elevation. For bareshafts grouping below fletched shafts, the archer is instructed to move his nocking point downward on the bowstring until both fletched and unfletched shafts group together. An emphatic notation makes reference to the importance of first correcting the porpoising effect problem whenever starting the fine tuning process. The term fishtailing is a word applied to the phenomenon of the arrow leaving the bow with the nock end weaving from one side to another. The incorrectly spined arrow will depart the bow with the nock moving from side to side as the arrow follows its flight path to the target. The method of determining and correcting the magnitude of this flight characteristic once again makes reference to the use of the "Bare Shaft Planing Test'' with recommended adjustments dealing with the changing of spring tension on the cushion plunger and/or related pressure point adjustments governing positioning (in-out). If bare shafts group to left (Fig.4), lessen spring tension on plunger or move pressure point to the right. When bare shafts group right of fletched arrows, increase spring tension of plunger or move arrow pressure plate to the left.

NEWS FROM THE INDUSTRY

Renegade 280 Little Rock, AK. — One of the hottest items at the Shot Show in New Orleans was Pearson's Renegade 280 — the industry’s first epoxy glass recurve limb bow. The Renegade is the result of extensive research and testing to build a graphite impregnated, filament-reinforced epoxy glass recurve limb. The bow combines high powered performance with the grace of a recurve compound and the durability only found in epoxy glass limbs. The Renegade also incorporates Pearson’s new XBC (Extra Broadhead Clearance) magnesium riser with cut-away sight window that allows the archer to safely draw his broadhead back to the arrow rest without the use of an overdraw. Available with Pearson's XE wheel (standard) or metal alloy cam wheels, the Renegade is finished in high gloss black or the new three color deluxe camouflage pattern. A tournament model 281 is also available with finish colors of Royal Blue or Cardinal Red.

Bowhunting Plus Tim Atwood

NFAA Bowhunting and Conservation Chairman By: Tim Atwood

Each year about this time, Archery clubs band together to sponsor Bowhunting championships. Usually, one of the winning fish is large enough to win the NFAA "Bowfisher of the Year” award. The successful landing of a big carp is the end result of a series of funfilled events. The action takes place time after time on a sunny day during the springtime carp spawn. The com bination of the action, fun and great springtime weather makes bowfishing a great and popular sport with the whole family. It's a great way to start out the young bowhunter, or the wife, who really isn't sure about bow hunting. As far as organized bowfishing is concerned, there are many local and State sponsored tournaments. The NFAA sponsors bowfishing programs and annually names the "Bowhunter of the Year". Those of you interested in the program for your tournament or club or just yourself can write to: NFAA Headquarters, Route 2, Box 514, Redlands, CA 92373. The NFAA keeps an on-hand record of the top ten carp, gar, and shark weights in all three categories. The winners receive an engraved plaque. NFAA writers and photographers — send in your favorite Bowhunting success photo or story with 50 words or more and receive a free NFAA Bowhunting patch. Color or black and white prints are okay, but no slides or Polaroid pictures, please. If you are a first time writer, don't be afraid. Many first time stories are the best. We will do our best to print any stories in good taste sent to us — you can take that to the Bank!

THE PLUS WHAT’S HAPPENING IN LEGISLATURE One of my goals is to increase communication throughout States con cerning bowhunting legislative action taken or pending. This goal can only be met with the help of each and every one of you concerned bowhunters. First, we must re-establish lines of communication between the States Second, we must unite in mass and work as one. And third, keep an everwatchful eye on our bowhunting rights With this in mind, I believe that we as bowhunters and concerned archers

can overcome any adversities in our future. fell ^‘canyoudo? First, keep your fellow archers informed by using this P bl,ca on. Second, whenever poss. bfe,wnte personalized letters to you r

BULLETIN!! MOUNTAIN LION HUNT APPROVED 1 Sacramento, California — Trophy hunters will begin stalking California mountain lions for the first time in 15 years this fall under a controversial program approved Friday by the state Fish and Came Commission. An all-day hearing with testimony from more than 120 people led up to the decision, which drew ire from environmentalists and animal-rights activitsts, who outnumbered pro-hunt speakers by about 5-to-1. Approved 3-2 by the commission, the plan provides 190 lion-hunting licenses, rather than 210 as suggested in the original proposal. Hunting will begin October Wand last for 79 days. Mother lions with cubs and lions weighing less that 35 pounds will be off limits. The issue was one of the most emotional the commission has faced in recent years, drawing at least 17,000 letters plus petitions with many more signatures. "We listened to them and we tried to do everything that is legal," said Commission President Albert Taucher

of Long Beach as about a dozen anti hunt activists sang a loud protest song after the vote. "We are responsible for doing the best thing for everyone in California." Many critics of the hunt questions state research that estimates the lion

population at 5,100 statewide. To ranchers, however, the hunt brings hope that fewer of their sheep

and cattle will fall prey to cougarsMembers of the California Bo" Hunters, the California TrapPerJ Association, the Future Farmers America and the California Sportsmen Lobby also supported the hunt-

BOWHUNTING NEWS Arizona — Callers draw on coyotes at KOFA, Yuma, Arizona. Coyotes are plentiful and callers are drawing lots of songdogs in on public land, KOFA National Wildlife area.

California — Hunters find hog heaven along the central and northern part of the California coastal area. Hunters are reporting great hunting out along the coast on private and public land. Alturas — The Department of Fish and Game Annual Winter census has produced northeastern California's second highest tally of pronghorn antelope, 7116 of the fleet-footed mammals. Bighorn sheep are being studied in Alturas area. The animals have been thriving! Sheep estimated to number between 47 and 55 animals. They are the product of the 1980 transplant of bighorn from Lava Bed National Park and Inyo county. This was to re establish the mountain sheep in the Warner Mountains. Department of Fish and Game will recommend lion hunts for 1987-88. California also reports lots of coyotes around! Locating songdogs is no problem. Some of the better areas are Blythe near the Colorado River and the Owen Valley area — and anywhere, everywhere. Anterless hunt — Deer manage ment personnel in California's Region One are pretty certain that a late fall doe hunt in 1985 contributed to a

better crop of fawns in a Lassen County deer herd a year later, confirming our conviction that doe hunts provide more opportunity while making for healthier deer herds. Idaho — Fish and Game department biologists spearheaded an effort to bring woodland caribou back to healthy numbers in the lower 48. Idaho biologists hope the transplanted caribou will eventually link up with the herd that still straddles the Canadian and U.S. border. Montana — Permits for moose, bighorn sheep and mountain goat increase again this year in the proposed regula tions. Turkey — 500 relocated since 1982 using flocks from Idaho and other States. Logging roads need to be closed to benefit elk. According to a 15-year study in Montana, elk tend to avoid areas of constant human activity and don't move back until the disturbance has ended. The study has generated more support of closures as part of Fish and Game management programs. Bozeman — A State wildlife biologist stated the grizzly bear in northern Montana should be taken off the list of threatened species under the Endangered or Threatened Act. The grizzly population of 549 and 813 bear in the ecosystem also includes Glacier National Park. The mean figure of 580 bear exceeds the goal of a grizzly bear recovery plan for the area. The bear should be managed as a State game animal. Nevada — Had its first successful bighorn hunt since 1899.

Ely — Nevada's quota of two Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep tags were filled during the 1986 hunting season, the first legal harvest of this species in the 20th century. Utah — On opening day of the Utah deer hunt, a man from Orem tramped miles across the mountains without seeing a legal deer. But, the following morning as he was driving down the street on the edge of town, a four-point buck dashed across the highway, cleared the center island, and landed on the hood of the man's car. The deer somersaulted over the car and landed on the side of the road where the man calmly got out and tagged it. Wildlife officials said it was legally and ethically okay to tag a deer in such circum stances, but only during the hunting season. A new buffalo hunt will take place on Antelope Island in the middle of the Great Salt Lake. Fifteen permits were issued. Antelope Island has a herd of about 500 wild-running buffalo. It became State property in 1981. The island is about 15 miles long. If all goes well, it will probably become an annual affair. D.F.G. states antelope herds continue to grow in Utah. Herds are healthy and growing fast: Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. St. George — A stuffed deer decoy set up by wildlife officials to catch poachers resulted in a $400 fine for one man in January. Officers stated several States are now using such decoys to catch illegal spotlighting and shooting of deer.

The New Approach to Arrow Selection The new approach refers to nothing more than allowing the bow to help select the proper arrow for your own particular setup! Each bow made is capable of help ing to provide us with valuable infor mation pertinent to the selection of our own proper arrow spine combination requirement providingwe, as shooters, visually read and interpret the hand writing on the target wall. It is imperative however, that we pay extremely close attention and demand the most perfect vertical directional entry of the arrow shaft when perform ing the planing test outlined previously. There is however, one main difference required this time — we will shoot bare-shafls only — with emphasis on using a non-directional target backstop similar to foam or polyester filled burlap' bags to preclude permanently bent arrow shafts. Note: Cardboard back stops will bend your arrows!

iA Mexican Misadventure by Wright Huff, as told to Nancy Gordon "We made some mistakes on that hunting trip, but taking that danged dog was the biggest one," he mused, the words punctuated by quick whiffs as he lit a briarwood pipe. Disposing of the match, he settled back into an easy chair to resume his story. "You couldn't tell Howard that, though. Howard thought Red was as perfect as his pedigree," he said, with a hint of a smile at the corners of his eyes. "He was a beautiful Redbone hound. But city-raised — and spoiled." With a direct look, he deadpanned, "I mean Red, not Howard." Shifting his gaze off into the distance, he continued. "Howard and I were hunting partners from way back. We had bagged bear, deer and small game with our bows. But this particular hunting trip in Mexico before the war was one I'll never forget." A puff of pipe smoke veiled a nostalgic look as his thoughts drifted back into another time frame.

1 It was 1941, and I was due to go I into the armed forces in I sixty days. Howard asked me if I ■ could get permission to go to Mexico for one last hunt. I asked, "Why Mexico?" "Jaguar," he said. Well, that was the magic word. Out came the maps and we picked the semi-tropical area south of Nogales. There was one slight problem, though: how was I to obtain permission to leave the states during a war, when I was due for the service? Well, we were bowhunters. We lied a little. I told the military officials we needed to go into southern Mexico to select some Mexican bamboo to use as a substitute for metal in airplane wing construction. Thank the Lord that they weren't aerodynamic engineers. They bought the story and let me go for four weeks. We closed in the sides of a 1940 Ford pickup, and put on four new 4-ply tires as a precaution, as there was no tire-buying allowed in Mexico during the war. Between us, we had enough "T" gasoline rations to make the trip in the states. Our bows were Doug

Easton osage orange long recurves with silk backing, 75 pounds; also three backup bows. Easton made us each three dozen cedar arrows with greybar feathers and Black Diamond broadheads. Having been told that there was a snake under every bush in Mexico, we wore thick boots and gabardine double layer pants. Of course, we wore buckskin jackets. "And we will take Red," Howard said with pride. We were given a stack of papers written in Spanish and the name of a Mexican guide from the Laguna Hansen hunting club. With these and our visas, we were off. At Nogales, the U.S. border officials took the serial numbers of our tires, which had to be the same upon return. Then we headed south into the Sonoran desert. No matter how we packed Red in the back of the truck, every time that we stopped, Red wriggled out. One time we stopped at a remote wash for some target practice with our 45s, but when we started to leave, where was Red? Howard climbed up on top of the truck and was blowing the dog horn, whistling and shouting, but no Red. I started to walk down the road, but happened to look back toward the truck and saw something under it. You guessed it. It was Red, with his paws up over his ears. Howard was still yelling and blowing his lungs out. I said, "Howard, the dumb so and so is under the truck." Howard said, "Dumb? You don't know dogs. Watch this." He then blew the horn and yelled once more. No result. Then, in a low voice, he said "Come out of there you *&^$!," and out crawled Red. Howard said "See? He knew I wasn't calling him with the horn when he's right under the truck'" In Hermosillo, the state capitol, we applied for our hunting licenses; the hunting club papers helped. A local approached us speaking fair English. Introducing himself as Jose, he asked to be our guide and interpreter We

He si d°5"V

^7 the r°ads south-

andnSding^^1'5600^''^111^ We hired Jose. This was a mistake The road soon became a trail which became a dry streambed, and no signs.

After several hours of bad guessing by Jose, he said, "Senors, I think you are lost and this is Bandito country." Well, great. We had just positioned our 45s up front when we saw something blocking the road up ahead. Coming closer, we saw men on horses with rifles, bandoliers, the works. We had to stop. As a burly brute moved up on each side of the truck, Jose slunk way down into the seat, showing absolutely no interest in interpreting for us. The man on Howard's side said in broken English, "You see a man on road?" Howard said, "No, why?" "We look for him, he cut woman's throat." We hastily passed out some cigars, told them we would keep our eyes open, and took off, but quick. This was one time our brave Red stayed in the truck. The next day after more aimless wandering, we saw a cloud of dust. Jose said helpfully, "Could be more banditos." The dust turned out to be the stage from Hermosillo to Tonichi.

Poking comically at the air with the pipe mouthpiece to emphasize his point, he said, "You know, if I had to do it over, I wouldn't have let Howard make so many mistakes." He tapped the pipe to empty out the charred tobacco leaves, refilled it, and started in on another story.

This was our second year for the two-site sectional tournament, and by the participation shown we will probably keep this trend going for a while. We had over 220 shooters who were fairly well split between the two hosting clubs. Tuscarora Archers in Frederick, Maryland, and Buckskin Bowmen, in Geneva, New York, both did a great job in hosting this event. George Ferrell and Evy Neise did a club. Wesley and Pat Reeves handled registration while George Ray, Donna Haupt and Wes Haupt ran the kitchen. This is always one of the high spots in my job to see people work together to make things work as they did in both locations. All clubs are encouraged to submit bids for future North and South loca tions for next year. Bids will be due at the sectional meeting on the 3rd weekend in June. Hope to see everyone at the Outdoor Sectional at Watkins Glen, NY, June 20 and 21. The winners' and participants' standings have been listed so archers from both areas can see how their scores fit into the total picture, great job with the preparation and administering of New York's shoot. Thanks also to Jerry Irvin, Clayton Jones, and Terry Tiller for their help. I was at the New York shoot and it was a pleasure to see it so well run by that club. Tuscarora Archery Club had 107 shooters from seven different states. This was a great first-time effort for this Congratulations to all who were involved!

/ BY: wiHiam s- "BILL" Bechen

f— I A Jell, it's that Spring Time f\ / of year again! You know \/ — when the snows melt, w w the days become sunny and warm again, the new grass pokes its tender green shoots skyward, the flowers begin to again reveal to our dreary winter eyes their magnificent rainbow of colors. And, for the bow hunter, whose big game season ended in December, who is weary of indoor practice, and who is anxious to be outdoors in pursit of varmints, Spring turkeys and bear, it's a beautiful and wonderful time of year again. But, alas, there is a potentially dark, gloomy, wintry side to this otherwise beautiful awakening of Spring. Most, if not all, State legislative bodies are again in session! In spite of their good inten tions and hard work for our mutual welfare, there are those bills which would hinder and/or deprive, not only

the bowhunter's privilege, but that of many other outdoor sportspeople, par ticularly those who hunt. As it is nearly impossible for me to know or keep track of every issue in every state, let along print it in an article this limited for space, let me merely give you some highlights that are occuring now in two states — in my home state of Oregon, and in New Jersey. There are currently two bills before the New Jersey State Legislature that if passed would effectively eliminate bowhunting in that state. Remember that it was in New Jersey that trapping was banned. Oregon is not without its adversity either. One bill being considered would prohibit the taking of bear that are damaging forests. Another would make it illegal to discharge any firearm in an unincorporated area within 200

NEWS FROM THE INDUSTRY

Jenning’s UnistarTM Bow. . . Archery Breakthrough of the 1980’s Gainesville, Florida — The unique system Incorporated in the UNISTARtm Cam Bow was engineered by archery innovator, Tom Jennings. It is the result of several years of experimentation and field testing to rigid stan dards and represents a major advancement in bow design. This is one of the most versatile hunting °ws ever built, being adjustable from 27” to Standard Limb: 41 Vi" Axle to axle

yards of anydwelling, school, church, or store (better get some very definitive definitions spelled out in that one). Two bills address the concept of "private game ranching" and these, in effect, give private landowners the title to public wild game, that they may manage and harvest them at their desired level, and for their own economic gain, including the selling of the meat. This is not to imply that there is not good legislation in existence that addresses game conservation, riparian habitat, etc., and these obviously should be equally adressed and supported. The main point is: As you again enjoy this marvelous Spring awakening, pay attention to what’s happening in your state and take the time to get involved, so that next Spring will also be beautiful! Thanks for reading.

31" (Std. MDL) on one cam. The New Center Force Cam design with unique Power Pylon™, power cable and string cable all act centrally on the limb ends. This durable and precise arrangement all but eliminates limb torque and provides extremely high energy recovery. The UNISTARtm is an ultra-smooth, pleasant shooting bow boasting new state-ofthe-art solid reinforced filament limbs with short stroke limb tip movement, increasing overall efficiency. Its concentric limb tip wheels, center string and cable forces, combine to eliminate wheel tipping caused by uneven limb tip loads. For 1987 there are two limb lengths to accomodate both average and tall archers. The handle rise is of strong magnesium alloy. Other specifications are: Draw Weights - Standard Limb Hunting Model: (28") 35/55#, 45/65# (30") 40/60#, 50/70# Extended Limb Hunting Model: (32") 40/60#. 50/70# Limb Color - Black Handle Color - Black AMO Length -
