FUTURE ARCHERY Since I began shooting a bow, I have participated in or watched organized archery flounder and try to become a viable professional sport Rounds have been tried and changed. organizations have come and gone, we have been slow at learning our lesson. Today, there
are a couple of forms of archery which can be comprehended by the spectator and the only competitors in these events are "the best of the bunch." The average shooter realizes he has no chance to beat the Top Dogs, so why pay the entry fee to shoot with the pros It's time archery sees some change We must create a round which solicits sponsorship from out of the archery circles, promotes participation for the masses and is exciting to the viewer The round must provide prize money pay back that the average shooter feels he or she has a real chance to win. We must develop a fool proof system of handicapping shooters It needs to be as simple as possible and universally applicable to anyone, any style. We need a round which is as exciting to watch as it is to shoot. This is critical to outside sponsorship dollars which are absolutely necessary for large field pay backs. I believe we can accomplish this, and we must, if archery is to grow as a form of recreational entertainment The average shooter needs competition events where there are major dollars in pnze money offered to compete in and feel reasonably assured that he or she will go home with a check in hand. Bowhunters comprise the majority of the archery market It is time for that to change and for archery to become a sport practiced and participated in for money. The professional level of competitive archery needs to become
the trend setter for the sport. The better the prize money offered, the more participants will want to compete, the more spectators will watch, the more sponsors will want to become a part of the event. Currently, we at PSE are working hard to develop a round or rounds which we will introduce as the "1993 Pete Shepley Desert Shootout." New targets, new rules, new ways of scoring. new handicap systems, new ways of rewarding the winners, a chance for every shooter to get a piece of the pie We have prize money in excess of $100,000 to a field of 500 shooters and that money will spread out through levels of shooters It will be attractive no matter what your ability or style you shoot. Work is being completed, right now. on a new target, the beginning of what will hopefully bring archery out of the boring and into a quick moving game of accuracy and visual excitement. It's time for something new. I hope that you will consider being a part of the new Desert Shootout in 1993. I guarantee you'll have a good time shooting your bow. no matter what style you shoot, no matter what type of target you prefer, no matter what your skill level Your next issue of THE U.S. ARCHER will outline in detail this new form of archery excitement.

Recently I have read and heard comments from various persons regarding FITA's relation to the compound archer Many remarks are positive, however, also some which are negative Unfortunately, those being negative seem to misunderstand the basic idea behind FITA's rules. The remark that I have heard is typically. "FITA does not care about the compound archer, and is artificially keeping the compound scores down." This is a very negative approach to a practical problem. FITA is not trying to hold ANYBODY down. but we are trying to put things into its right perspective. In earlier days a bow was a bow and everybody shot the same way. Gradually the equipment changed, and all of a sudden you could find people shooting longbows and recurve bows with or without a sight. Consequently FITA made rules for Barebow and Freestyle (longbow/recurve) shooters However, not knowing what we know today, the rounds were the same for barebow and sight-shooters, which proved to be unfair to the barebow archer, since he is unable to shoot the scores which come easy to the sight-shooter. Shooting the same round as the sight shooter, with inferior scores, gradually discouraged most barebow archers- and over time diminished the number of archers in that division. At that time, nobody really thought about this as a problem, but it is a fact that over time the sight shooters gradually changed their opinion on barebow shooters, and started to think of the barebow shooter as an inferior archer-even if many of the barebow archers
can shoot quite good scores when shooting with a sight People did not seem to understand that any bow shot without a sight, clicker and stabilizer is less accurate than bows with In recent years the compound bow has increased in popularity and consequently some years ago FITA accepted this bow as a separate division. Contrary to the earlier period, we now realize that the compound bow may become a similar problem to freestyle (recurve) as the barebow and sight shooter problem. FITA is an association for ALL archers and since we have learned from previous "mistakes" and since it is official politics to protect the integrity of different styles of shooting. it was decided that the different styles should shoot different rounds that is proportionally difficult in relation to the equipment they are using. By doing this we hope to see all differ ent types around for the years to come, con trary to other associations where this was not considered, and where recurve bows now are rare. Obviously it is difficult to find a system that is absolutely fair to everybody, barebow, freestyle (recurve) and compound - but we are not too far off - proved by the reports we get back However, those compound archers that previously shot for an association not caring for the integrity of the three different divisions. may react in the above mentioned manner and say, "FITA is artificially holding the compound down."

SHOOTING FORM TO WIN By FREDDIE TRONCOSO It has been said, as is true of most sports, that certain basic fundamentals of shooting never change As equipment and rules change the basic shooting requirements that make up your form remain unchanged If you doubt the validity of this statement, simply review the records and scores of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and marvel at the unbelievable performance rendered by Gold Medalist Youn Jeong Cho of Korea! It should be rather obvious that the Koreans, along with their coaches, have apparently made an in depth study of archery as is documented by the special emphasis on their classic shooting form and statue like follow-through It is also evident that these archers pay their dues and spend a great deal of time on the shooting line and in the classroom. One thing for sure, they are not about to reveal all their shooting secrets, especially those that pertain to mental control and concentration. If one is to consult a dictionary for the definition of the word form, we find that form as applied to any given sport is defined as. "the way or manner of doing something that requires skill." As practicing archers, we recognize that archery form is never a set pattern but instead a varying constant that changes with each individual. In essence. shooting form can be more accurately described as the logical application of formal principles which we use and apply with exacting repetition to execute the shot. Consequently, certain shooting form is good and some is not so good My wife, Eva, and I attended the 1992 Olympics at Barcelona, arriving at Vai O' Hebron several days before the start of the archery games A quick glance of the field revealed that we were watching one of the women's
practice sessions which preceded the official start of the games. As we watched the great women archers in the world prepare for this great event, my attention became transfixed and focused on one outstanding women shooter, who was shooting with such machine-like exactness that she stood out from the rest of the field. Her shooting form was so perfect and exacting that she looked like an instant video replay shot after shot after shot! It was then that I whispered to my wife, Eva, "Watch that Korean girl shoot, I pick her to win the gold and surpass all others." As you have probably guessed by now the great archer turned out to be none other than Youn Jeong Cho who emerged victorious and established new world records for the single FITA Rounds and tied other distance records as well. Of great interest is the fact that the top women's high scratch scores were all shot by Korean women which verifies and ascertains that good classic form and followthrough are paramount and are also part of their secrets to success and tremendous high scores! In contrast to the intense year round practice and rigid training programs undertaken by the Koreans, and other countries, we find that U.S. archers generally start preparing for major events, including Olympic Trials, only a few months in advance. I'd almost venture to bet that the Koreans train all year around and that they already have started their training immediately following the Barcelona Games. It is no wonder that they excel and out shoot all fields of competition andareatthismoment formidable contenders for the Gold in 1996. One can readily assume that their incentives must be greater than those we offer to our shooters. It is rumored that many of these
"pots of gold" include cash awards, houses. automobiles, monthly incomes and retirement annuities, which should understandably motivate aspiring shooters throughout the world It is apparent that our great country needs a supporting fund similar to AMO's "Save Our Heritage" fund which can and does generate some very substantial sums of money The main question that surfaces with this potential approach is whether or not the archery industry is willing to accept another financial dram of their already heavily burdened budgets Yes Olympic archery definitely needs more funds and by this, we mean many dollars, and more dollarsl Returning to our almost forgotten topic of shooting form and analysis, the most noticeable difference between our U.S. archers and the Korean shooters is that the majority of Koreans shoot using the parallel stance depicted in (Fig. 1). In contrast, several of our US archers go to the extremes of applying exaggerated "Power/Open" stances which, in my opinion. make it difficult to use proper back-tension and also hinders proper follow-through Using the power/open stance, (Fig. 3) the bow arm flies severely to the left upon release and starts to drop the instant the archer turns loose of the bowstring. It is readily evident that the Koreans have advantageously learned that using the preferred parallel stance or the unexaggerated partial open stance reduces and limits the left right recoil movement of the bow arm when shooting. In better terms. archers using the parallel stance are best able to push and pull and shoot correctly This application also helps the archer to keep his sight on the target which helps the aiming process by keeping the bow arm in place Simultaneously, perfect follow-through is more
FIG. 1 - EVEN OR PARALLEL STANCE BEST FOR FOLLOW-THROUGH 0UE TO THE FACTTHAT THE BOW ARM IS RESTRICTED TO LEFT/ RIGHT MOVEMENT
FIG. 2-OPEN STANCE ALSO GOOD FOR FOLLOW-THROUGH AND MINIMAL LEFT/RIGHT MOVEMENT OF BOW ARM
FIG. 3 - POWER/OPEN STANCE REQUIRES THE ARCHER TO TWIST HIS/HER BODY WHILE DRAWING THE BOW. AND UNWINDS CAUSING THE BOW ARM TO SWING WILDLY TO THE LEFT.

readily achieved when applying the parallel stance or slightly open stance (Fig 2) For the benefit of all archers and for self improvement, I suggest that we start to make a study and thoroughly analyze all available photographs of the Korean women shooting in an effort to see what they are doing. It would also be beneficial to devote considerable time to reviewing the finale of the video film entitled ”92 Olympic Summer Games'* soon to be released by Easton Aluminum. Inc Shooting good solid basic form will improve your shooting if you are willing to learn to aim and follow-through as their winners do It is no secret that the Korean women shoot with better form than their men counterparts. In spite of these apparent differences, one of the top Korean men managed to amass high scratch score and win the silver medal which proves that they too. are devoting time to year around practice and to perfecting their shooting form While it may appear that Jae-Hun Chung uses an open power stance, please note that his toes are pointing straight and parallel with the shooting line! Yes. his feet are spread apart, but are aligned parallel to the shooting line This application provides good balance and permits the desired in-line follow-through we repeatedly make reference to. In summary. I would like to mention that the very best archers that I have seen in my fifty years of archery, have all been shooters who place emphasis on classic form and follow-through As I stated before in previous writings, if it works use it, if it doesn't, try something else. It may also be wise to open our eyes and take notice of what the rest of the world is doing. If one given country wins repeatedly time and time again, the difference can be attributed to the fact that we may not be doing things exactly right!
JOAD JAZZ By ANN CLARK The year 1992 will soon be history! It is hard to believe all the activities this year Small wonder the year has flown by. We have many happy memories of tournaments gone by and some sad. like saying good-bye to The World Archery Center. With mixed feelings I have to say this is my last JOAD Jazz article Thanks to all the archers and their parents for working with me over the past ten years. It has been a blessing Now to move on to a new project, printing a booklet on how to put on a shooting demonstration. I'll still look forward to seeing all the young archers on the line. We were all disappointed that the US didn't medal in the Olympics, but I believe many lessons were learned from our competitors There is much to be learned in the Olympic special edition of THE U.S ARCHER If one wants to keep up on current events. reading THE U.S. ARCHER is a must Copies are to be found in many unexpected places. like doctor's offices and hunting camps as witnessed by George Gardner and yours truly

on a recent hunt at Nettie-Bay Resort. Hawks. Michigan The All Ladies Bowhunt had its fifth year at this camp and brought such notables as Ann Hoyt. Marilyn Nicholas. Peg Barcak, Cathy Beutler, Kay Richey and newcomer, Abbie Burke, along with yours truly, coordinator of The All Ladies Bowhunt and George Gardner, our number one guide. Special young ladies and gentlemen touch my life each year in archery A recent call from Imsy Shaperio, now married and twenty eight years old, has stayed in touch since he was thirteen Fond memories, all of them Joining the rank in this issue. I'd like to share with you two very special youngsters I had the pleasure to meet and work with this summer. Ben McMunn is ten and one half years old and became interested in archery by watching Errol Flynn in the Robin Hood movie of vintage date He has been shooting for a full year. Ben has shot in two tournaments, one was the E B Miller Memonal tournament at Pomfret. Connecticut. He came in last, but goes on to say with great enthusiasm, "I came in second
BEN MCMUNN AND ANN CLARK
at Walden, New York not last" He spent four days at TWAC this summer, as he says "being coached " He continues with, "If you ever have the chance to be coached by Ann Clark, take it’" Quite a compliment from a youngster A little shy and reserved in the beginning, he sought me out to thank me and give me this beautiful picture of the two of us He is currently enrolled in a JOAD program in Neskaguna. New York, and writes he has several patches for outdoor archery. Warren Brockey and Jack McMullen are credited as his teachers Good luck Ben, you are an inspiration to us all. Richard Tollis from Rochester. NY. is another fine young man that swiftly found a way to my heart Richard is fifteen years old and has been shooting since he was seven He is very involved in a family owned archery business that features ten indoor lanes, so he is always assured a place to shoot and practice both styles of shooting with recurve and compound bow He is an ardent bowhunter preferring the compound bow for this style of shooting His first bow was a 20 pound fiberglass recurve bow given to him by his dad along with six arrows His dad said "shoot". After several lessons, he states, "I finally got the hang of it" With great persistence and many hours of shooting, a year went by and once again dad entered the picture and presented Richard with a 35 pound Bear Recurve bow He shot this bow for about two years and did

reasonably well. However, even though he enjoyed shooting the recurve, his greatest desire was to own a compound bow and meet the challenge of the woods bowhunting. He bugged his dad until finally he had a Whitetail II by Bear The bow had a 26 inch draw that was modified to 22 inches by his dad Richard finally had the bow of his dreams His interest at the age of twelve was overwhelming as he began working in the family pro shop learning all he could about kinds of equipment, bows, arrows and accessories Prior to that day he received his compound, he had little, if any, interest in working or learning the business He just wanted to shoot, shoot, shoot And, all he wanted to do was go bowhunting He had no interest in tournament shooting At age fourteen, he received his first target bow Like a bolt of lightning, he discovered the world of tournament league shooting in the summer of 1990 This was a new interest to him, but his desire still remained that of a bowhunter At the end of the deer season in 1991, Richard became interested in Olympic style archery His goal is a high one. to become an Olympic Champion. His goals are high and he is a determined young man Most of his time is spent at the range perfecting his form and tournament procedure A long time coming, but worth waiting for Richard is also a graduate of TWAC He listens well and never offers excuses He is filled with questions and looks for correct answers He has a style that is a pleasure to watch He is a loving, caring youngster He is a pleasure to be around both on and off the archery field

EUROPEAN YOUTH TOURNAMENT By NANCY E. MYRICK, TEAM MANAGER
TEAM CHAMPIONS (L-R| USA (2ND). CHAMPIONS EUROPE 1. ANO EUROPE 4 (3RD)
Some months back an invitation was received from the organizers of the European Youth Tournament and Seminar, for the USA to send a contingent of six junior archers and a manager/ coach. We were advised that all expenses would be covered for the team upon their arrival in Greece As a result of receiving a grant from the USOC, we were able to attend We decided to send three female and three male intermediate archers These six archers were selected based on their total scores from two major tournaments, as follows: JOAD National Outdoor Target Championships, Atlanta. Georgia and the National Target Championships in Oxford, Ohio. The qualifying archers were

Only one had traveled or competed abroad previously. Many of those archers they shot against in Greece will be at the Junior World Target Championships in 1993. All the team members joined up at JFK airport in New York, where we flew non-stop directly to Athens. Greece We were met at the airport by a member of the organizing committee and taken directly to our hotel where we would be lodged for the evening. We arrived
in Athens at approximately 10:00 a m on August 23rd After settling into our hotel and having lunch, we took two taxi cabs and headed out to sight see, since our hosts had advised us that we had free time until 8:00 a m Monday morning. All of the team members had studied about the Acropolis in high school and that therefore was our first stop Dressed as typical tourists. we all photographed the Acropolis and adjoining sites many times over We decided after several hours at the Acropolis that we would walk back toward the hotel, and planned our route so that we would be able to visit the Olympic stadium in Athens, Greece It was about 6 30 p m. when everyone decided they were very tired and wanted to return to the hotel, so we halted two taxi cabs and arrived back at about 7:00 p m Dinner was available for the team at 8 00 p m and very shortly after that everyone turned in for the night We were all up, packed and ready to meet the bus at 8:00 a m the following morning Everyone was eager to reach our final destination as they wanted to practice The buses arrived around 9:00 a m and we then had a five hour bus ride to Olympic, Greece. We were assigned to our rooms at the Olympia Academy and went directly to lunch Tuesday, official practice was held commencing at 8:30 a m until 11:00 a m I should mention at this time, that the luggage and archery equipment of two of our shooters had not yet arrived This meant that Rachalle and Vic were without any equipment or clothes When the archers and coaches from the other countries heard of our plight, they immediately came to our aid, and within a period of less than an hour, we had two complete, satisfactory set ups, including arrows for both Vic and Rachalle At 4:00 p m. all the teams, coaches and organizing committee left to walk to the Olympic Stadium and museum This tour of the original site of the Olympic Games was one that will never be forgotten Although much is in ruin

THE U S ARCHER
after thousands of years, the restoration process has begun and actually some of the site is still under excavation as they continue to uncover more. There are 31.000 pedestals still standing, where statues of winners of the Olympic Games had been mounted, and a few of the original statues of winners from centuries ago have been recovered and placed in the museum To walk the grounds where so many athletes had walked centuries ago. to see where the original Olympic torch had been lit, and where still to this day. the Olympic torch is lit and carried on to the sites of todays games, to marvel at how they were able to build the temples, living quarters, training facilities, etc . with marble and coral brought from hundreds of miles away, some pieces of which were in excess of tens of tons, was as the kids say, "awesome “ One cannot help but to rededicate themselves to the Olympic movement. When we arrived back at the Olympic Academy, we were informed that the equipment and luggage of our two archers had arrived With the permission of the Organizing Committee and the Head Judge, they permitted me to take Vic and Rachalle to the tournament site where we set up their equipment and secured sight settings for the next day's competition. Start of the tournament and the two long distances commenced at 9 00 a m . on Wednesday The weather was great for the entire tournament, with light breezes in the afternoons and temperatures ranging around 85 to 90 degrees There were well over one hundred archers shooting The Organizing Committee had designated several ARCO tournaments the past year that the young athletes from Europe attended. They were then ranked according to their placement at those tournaments. It did not matter what country they were from There were fifty-four who had qualified to participate in the elite group, and approximately fifty who qualified for the non-elite group These two groups were separated for the tournament results The USA shot in the elite group. The non-elite group shot the shorter distances All of the USA shooters shot the adult FITA distances of 90. 70, 50 and 30 meters for gentlemen and 70, 60, 50, and 30 meters for the ladies. This two day FITA was a very successful event for all of the US team. Justin Huish finished first, shooting his personal best of 1320 points, thus out distancing the second place finisher N Pokaluk from Poland who had a 1278 Robert Sieg, also shot a tournament best of 1250 finishing fourth overall Vic Wunderle, the current Junior World Target Champion had a 1210

very proud of both our gentlemen and ladies teams as they went against some of the best junior shooters in Europe. The European teams were selected on their best performances at the previously mentioned ARCO tournaments The ladies from USA took the gold for the team round and the USA gentlemen took the silver. The USA gentlemen and the ladies worked together very closely during the team event, spotting for each other, providing information and lots of encouragement. Team unity is a key factor for the success of any team round event, and that was proven at this event. On Thursday, at 9:00 p.m. a seminar was held and an athlete from each country was to make a presentation on the training of their
juniors, how they are selected and any other information that would be pertinent I asked Vic Wunderle to make the presentation, and with a few hurriedly written notes, he did a great job. The USA team stayed healthy, happy and upbeat during the entire trip The interaction between the USA shooters and the European shooters was very positive As would be expected, the food, accommodations, language and customs were very foreign to our young athletes but there was never a complaint and they enjoyed each moment as they learned and had new experiences. Friday the 28th the medals ceremony was held in front of the Olympic flags at the Olympic Academy Presenting the awards to the young athletes was the Director of the Olympic

THE 2ND NATIONAL FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS SEPTEMBER 22-23, 1992 IASI, ROMANIA By DORIAN SESTAC For the second time, The National Field Archery of Romania unfolded in Iasi city which in the last years has become the most important center of archery from Romania. The competition reunited at start archers from four clubs and some guests from Netherlands and Republic of Moldavia. The small number of competitors is due to the fact that this kind of competitor isn't advanced yet in Romania and also to the fact that many clubs and associations are confronted with financial problems. The competition took place at the edge of the city and it unfolded in the permitted limits of this sport. How I told you the experience absence of archers is distinguished by the final results which they aren't competitive, excepting the result of Victor Stanescu. I also have to remark that the competition unfolded only at freestyle because in Romania there are no compound bows.

That was a new name in the NAA ranks Danny went on to do some very fine shooting, to eliminate Joe Asay and Dan Kolb, but then he ran into Dee Wilde When the dust cleared Dee had won the match by 11 points Danny shot two tens in one target (one scores as a miss) Now that is out of his system he will be ready for a great 1993 season Danny went on to the bronze medal match, shot 1 off

perfect and defeated Tom Crowe by 2 points. "Mr Smooth," Kirk Ethridge, shot three of his four games at 149, one off perfect, to win the gold medal and take home the $1,000 00 check The "Wilde Man" shot excellent scores this early in the season to win the silver medal and $500 00. Precision shooting took place on the ladies side of the field too Only four scores on the men's line exceeded Charleen Low's fine 1175 to be top qualifier for the ladies after two days of shooting
November-December 1992
As the elimination started seven of the ladies scores were over the 140 mark Theresa Fozio had a nice 148 on her first and second rounds to eliminate Maria Gleason and Carol Bitner. Charleen Low eliminated Phyllis Barker, but couldn’t get past Melanie Grell when they tied and had to shoot another end to determine who advanced to the next match. Charleen’s daughter, Inga, now was coming on strong with scores in the high 140's. Theresa Fozio and Inga Low matched up for the gold medal match. It was back and forth, down to the last end, when Theresa slipped in for the gold by 1 point past Inga Melanie Grell also won by that slim 1 point edge over Becky Pearson for the bronze. The younger ladies swept the field for the ladies while the mature men held their positions. It will be a very interesting match for the World Indoor Championship Trials to be held January 7-10, 1993, in Salt Lake City, Utah

TWAC 1992
By ALLAN MARTIN "Tonight TWAC has come to full flower and the fragrance is intoxicating." Those were the opening words of the master of ceremonies at a moving experience - the final TWAC banquet
CHUCK SAUNDERS (L) CHATTING ABOUT GOOD TIMES AT TWAC WITH AUTHOR ALLAN MARTIN
It took place at the end of the final session of TWAC (the fifty-fifth) and it was the largest TWAC gathering in history More than twohundred people returned to taste its sweetness for the last time; and each brought a cache of memories It was affirmation of the caring. shanng TWAC tradition. It was a sincere, quiet, moving, festival of love Champions were there; organizers were there along with coaches, teachers, students. graduates, friends, and family - all nameless in the sense of being equal parts of something special. People of stature and substance rose to speak And the messages carried a common theme of gratitude for the joy and the contributions of TWAC to the rich traditions and the romance of archery All left titles and positions of power behind them to emerge as simple members of a family of friends And each spoke wonderful, heartfelt words of praise for Myrtle Miller. Co-founder of TWAC Myrtle Miller is the Grand Dame of archery Few people will ever expenence an outpouring of appreciation, gratitude and affection such as the one accorded to her But everyone at
the banquet shared in the accolades, for Myrtle reflects beauty, returns love, and practices the fine art of giving like no other person And when she spoke to a hushed audience, her words were moving expressions of thanks for the happiness that she and her husband Ed received from their efforts over many years In all. she was regal in her bearing, earthy in her understanding of people, and vibrant in her zest for living. The TWAC banquet had a distinct international flavor. People from other lands and other cultures were there And there were letters from people in other countries who were generous in their words regarding the importance of TWAC in their archery programs Thus, the final banquet had a sense of continuity and vigor about it The "flower" had cast its seeds around the world in many places where they have taken root TWAC lives in its legacy of archery expertise and good fellowship The banquet ended with these words as all persons stood with their eyes closed and hands joined with those next to them: "Do you feel the warmth and the love surrounding you? Do you feel the ancient pulse of the CONTINUED ON PAGE 350
DEAR TWAC FRIENDS. Thank you for being a part of TWAC’s finale and for your help in making it the finest session in fifty-five years There is no doubt that TWAC was a dream that even God wanted to become reality There were so many achievements that were realized through the years that were not part of our original objectives Our chief thought was for the young people we love so much. To have them love this fascinating sport and adopt it as a lifetime interest they had to have it introduced to them by truly qualified instructors. Back in the '30s where were these qualified instructors? In my own personal experience in physical education, archery was a requirement. Exposed to this so-called archery at Grand Rapids Junior College and the University of Michigan I was left totally disenchanted and declined all of Russ
348
Hoogerhyde’s offers to give me instruction Russ got Ed interested m archery, but I was unable to get him interested in golf, which was my first love in sports Ed and Russ were shooting, while I was not even an interested spectator. Finally after much persuasion by Ed. I, almost reluctantly, consented to have Russ give me instruction. Everything changed in that hour. I hit the target and knew why And suddenly, the sport I despised, I came to love This experience was the chief motivation Ed and I had to set up a training school for archery instructors. There was very little or no archery education material available at that time. Developing champions was never one of our objectives, but in a few years champions were proliferating on the local, state and national levels, including Junior National Champions Jerry and Michael Moga and Barbara (Van
Popering) Keyes Championships won by TWAC archers were climaxed by the achievements of Jean (Lee) Lombardo and Darrell Pace with National, World and Olympic titles Back to 1992. The banquet - the highlight of this 1992 session - will always be with me Your love and generosity, so beautifully expressed through your kind words, the accolades and the gifts, touch me deeply and will forever enkindle fond memories It would be impossible to express in words just how I feel, but I hope you know my heart-felt gratitude for all of your goodness. I hope you are having a happy summer. enjoying your archery more than ever before Do let me hear from you I'll always be interested Thanking you and sending love to you all Sincerely.

A TRIBUTE TO: ED AND MYRTLE MILLER By FRANK H. SCOTT Ladies and Gentlemen, honored guests and a very special greeting to a very dear 350
lady - Myrtle Miller from the more than 200 members of the Bear Archery family. It is also my pleasure to bring you greeting from your long time dear friend Henrietta Bear and her regrets in not being with you at this very special time Ladies and gentlemen in my lifetime I have found many things impossible for me to do. In my archery lifetime I would find it especially impossible for me to follow in the footsteps of the many archery role models I have encountered in this archery world of ours. I would find it impossible to hunt with the prowess of Fred Bear or to shoot a bow with the accuracy of Howard Hill or Russ
Hoogerhyde I would find it impossible to promote a sport with the salesmanship of Ben Pearson or Clayton Shenk. I would I find it impossible to build a product with the quality of Earl Hoyt or to thrill a sportsman show audience with the skill of Ann Clark - or to defeat an archery competitor with the grace of Ann Hoyt I would find it impossible to conduct a tournament with the dedication of Helen Bolnick or the thoroughness of Karl Palmatier or the patience of George Helwig To build a company with the foresight of Doug Easton or the ability to smooth ruffled feathers with the charm of Chuck Saunders Yes, ladies and gentlemen our role models are many and with various talents but they

also have many things in common among which are honor, integrity and a great love for this thing we call archery Two such role models I know are on all of our minds tonight. They are of course Ed and Myrtle Miller and I pale at the very thought of trying to follow in their footsteps This loving couple established this institution called The World Archery Center with little more than a dream and a strong desire to give a quality archery experience to eager students so that they in turn could spread the archery word and archery traditions learned here at TWAC
For fifty-five years Ed and Myrtle nursed the World Archery Center through the good and I am sure some bad times, never losing sight of their goals or wavering in their determination to present a quality archery experience here at TWAC nor were they ever influenced by disappointments TWAC is now coming to a close, but Myrtle this is not the end of your dream You will be entering a period of great satisfaction knowing you and Ed accomplished what you deliberately set out to do fifty-five years ago and this is the true measure of success In closing I will quote a statement made by General Douglas MacArthur in his address to the Congress of The United State upon his retirement from the Army and I quote "Old soldiers never die - they just fade away " Myrtle, as long as a young person pulls a bow string just for the pure joy of it, TWAC like the old soldier will never die So long as there are dedicated archery coaches, having had the TWAC experience, teaching quality archery at the scholastic level TWAC will never die but unlike the old soldier TWAC will not "Just fade away " TWAC is here to stay Myrtle and in Ed's memory, thank you for a job well done, archery's good and faithful servants *
REV. TED NACE DELIVERS TWAC'S FINALE SERVICE On Sunday. June 21. 1992 at Pomfret’s famous Clark Chapel a beautiful finale service was conducted by the Rev Ted Nace. Director Of Outreach at Dr Norman Vincent Peale's Center for Christian Living in Pawling, NY The beautiful Clark Memorial Chapel was filled to capacity and the inspiring message from Rev Ted Nace will long be remembered and cherished by all TWAC was privileged to have Rev Nace conduct the TWAC Chapel services from 1988 to 1992 In June 1988, when Ted Nace arrived with his wife Kathy and their three sons, Ryan. Joel and Kyle. they were assigned archery equipment and TWAC instructors to give them their first archery experience The result was instant enthusiasm, excitement and love for the sport (referred to in the Bible 52 times) TWAC is indeed proud to add the Nace Family to their long list of TWAC-happy archery families all over the world We agree "The Power of Positive Thinking" indeed helps archery performance as well as life in general Thanks to Dr Peale and Ted Nace for the fine influence this sound philosophy has had on TWAC over many of TWAC's fifty-five years

MARYANNE SCHUMM (R) PRESENTS MIMI MILLER A TV/VCR PLAYER FROM THE STAFF
THE WORLD ARCHERY CENTER FESTIVAL OF THE HOLY TRINITY JUNE 14, 1992 FORM, FOCUS, PURPOSE The title of my message this morning is, "Form, Focus, and Purpose " Today is the festival of Holy Trinity Knowing this I chose to bring with me a worship order that may be a little more liturgical than is familiar to some of us gathered here To paraphrase an old cliche, "you can take the Lutheran away from the liturgy but you can't take the liturgy out of the Lutheran." Also. I decided to wear my black suit and clencs just to prove to some of you that I really am a pastor Several of you have said that I’m not like any other pastor you have ever known. While I believe this is said as a compliment and I accept it as such, it gives me the urge to say. "Look, I really do own these pastor's things " There is a serious reason I made these choices about how I would shape our worship and what I would wear I have chosen these things because they fit under the idea of "forms " Liturgy is an ancient tried and true "form" of worship When you see a person in a clerical collar and you can recognize someone who serves in the ministry of Christ. Human life is shaped and organized by the forms brought to bear upon it. Last year, when I first came to TWAC I
CHAPEL AT TWAC

learned a great deal about form. Going through the instructor's course I became as a piece of clay to be pushed and prodded by our staff while they taught me how to teach new archers I learned the nine steps to the ten ring or SNEDAT/HAT/RA (Stance. Nock. Extend. Draw, Anchor, Tighten/Hold. Aim, Tighten/Release. Afterhold) Our instructors* class used SNEDAT/ HAT/RA to cue our memories pneumonically for the final exam. These nine steps create the platform for the shot I want to help you understand how hard it is for this person standing before you to accept form and structure. I, quite pridefully. have always considered myself somewhat anti establishment. if not anarchist. I come by this honestly, not only as a child of the sixties, my great, great grandmother went to sea regularly with her husband who was a trader captain She did this despite the convention that a woman at sea was bad luck My great grandmother literally marched on Washington with Susan B Anthony for women's suffrage My grandmother was accepted into medical school in the mneteen-teens only to turn it down to get married. She then coached high school football on at least two occasions when coaches died or were stricken with heart attacks It always amazed me as a young boy when grown men hailed my grandmother with a loud, "Hey. coach." Finally, my mother played cards through her first year final exams to flunk out of college and get married. She then returned to school graduating from college with me some twenty-five years later. She now teaches of all things computers and communications media and serves on a state of Connecticut computer education committee My mother, not having any daughters, seems to have passed this maverick gene on to me Many of you know that professional archer Larry Wise is one of my parishioners. By now. Larry believes that trying to coach a stubborn, Swedish Yankee is like engraving stone with a pen knife Still, what one engraves in stone is durable, if not easy to correct. Spiritually, this tendency to resist structure and form has been a long, slow area of personal growth, but everything takes a long time with Swedes Spiritually. I now understand that God is a God of form
MIMI MILLER AWARDS AN HONORARY TWAC DOCTORATE ON MARYANNE SCHUMM (C> AS LYNNE KNIPPLER ANO LU WILSON LOOK ON
The book of Genesis begins with the story of creation A story that starts with the statement that the world was formless and void or chaos. structureless The Spirit of God then moved over the face of the deep and began to order creation: Light and Dark, Night and Day. Land and Sea. Heaven and Earth, and so on and so on God separating and ordering life, bnngmg it to "form." God’s ordering of life did not end with creation God reordered the life of Abram a childless, wandering nomad with a covenant promise of multitudes of offspring and Abram became Abraham Leading Israel out of Egypt with Moses God gave His people the Ten Commandments as a new order for life defining the foundational forms of spiritual and community relationships Study scripture and you quickly realize that without form life descends back into chaos One can describe sin as humanity's perpetual desire to step away from God's order or "form" of life. It is not surprising then that, besides SNEDATHATRA, we still find other forms and subforms such as integral part of hfe here at TWAC Each evening Maryanne provides us with a schedule for the form of the next day. a place for everyone and everyone in his/her place We also have our little ritual forms, the evening all archers meeting, the gem and our beloved gem lady, Lu Wilson God is a God of form. He has created a universe of form, from DNA to Quantum mechanics and Unified Field theories form undergirds for everything Therefore, it is not surprising the lives of His people, sacred and secular, are filled with form. God is a God of Form. God is, also, a God of Focus. He seeks to give us focus He has focused all of His love for us in the person of Jesus Christ He has given and restored to us a covenant relationship through Christ. Jay Barrs at one point in the new video. "On Target For Fun" states one's focus must not be on the gold but should instead be at the line It is at the line where the shot is prepared and made. Six golds is the result of six times putting together the shot, step by step, nine steps to performance, then letting the shot take care of itself.
THE U. S ARCHER
Even better than what Jay has said, I like what John DiMura, Dave Staples and Len Cardinale said last evening about disengaging the mind entirely from the shot Do not focus on the gold or on the form at the line Rely instead on the muscle memory built during training Allow the shot to happen without thought during competition. A sure way to have form break down in competition is to begin to think about what you are doing Do this and you interrupt the natural flow of what you have created Everything becomes mechanical. Some steps will be elevated at the expense of others Eventually, a cog will fly off the wheel jamming the works Spiritually, this issue of focus has been a perpetual problem for humanity. Focus on form has often been substituted for focus on the creator of all form and our unique relationship to God as His children During His life our Lord Jesus spent more of His time trying to redirect people’s misplaced focus Therefore, we can say that God is also a God of focus Spiritually, humanity misfocused on form and self The Pharisees rebuffed Jesus and John the Baptist, believing the message of repentance and the coming kingdom of God wasn't necessary After all. the Israelites are the children of Abraham Misplaced focus The Pharisees' focus had diverted to their blessedness as a nation and away from the God who gives all blessings, including the new blessing of the forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ Walking through the fields on the sabbath Jesus was chastised because his disciples picked gram to eat Jesus rebukes the Phansees and proclaims to them that God gave the sabbath for the benefit of the people not the people for the benefit of the sabbath. Again, misplaced focus is the problem The Phansees eyes are set on the form of the law and not on the law giver of Mount Zion and their relationship with him As Israel obsessed over the law. the Ten Commandments multiplied into over six hundred ritual laws necessary for a "righteous" life To redirect is not to overthrow. Jesus challenges the vision of what is ultimately important in life but He never destroys God given forms or order He asserts that He comes to fulfill the law not to abolish It. He tells his disciples their righteousness must surpass that of the Phansees This type of nghteousness can only be had by a right relationship with God, the giver of all blessings and the foundational laws of life; it is righteousness given as a blessing by God in Jesus Christ to those who cannot have it in themselves. Repeatedly, the gospel stories are about Jesus continual redirecting of misplaced focus away from the forms of life that while they provide shape and structure cannot provide life itself. Instead, Jesus points to the God who is the source of all life giving it freely to those who call upon his name This is my second year at TWAC. it does not surprise me that worship has been an important form within this community.

People who gather in worship constantly discover their lives refocused and redirected toward God at the center of life When God stands at the center of life all else falls into place. A fresh and new order takes hold. We find ourselves gathered with all people, equal before God. neither Jew nor Greek, male nor female, slave or freeman. Each person is received: forgiven sinners, the past forgotten, all gathered like the rings of a target around the throne of God and singing His praises This relationship expresses the vision of the fulfillment of God's kingdom in the book of Revelation. The lives of the staff here at TWAC while shaped by its forms are directed toward service Each person that enters this space called TWAC is received as a most important guest Biblical hospitality is practiced with arms wide open With eyes redirected toward God through faithful worship the role and meaning of servant can be embraced
As one who is, if there can be such a thing, a spiritual professional, it is obvious that what happens here at chapel is the core, the focus that drives everything else that goes on at TWAC. Our God is a God of Focus. Our God Is also a God of purpose. Without form and focus, purpose cannot exist. Archery precedes TWAC just as TWAC precedes all those who have been a part of it. Still archery cannot provide a clear meaning of life. Across the ages the purpose for archery has shifted from a safer tool for providing food, to providing a weapon of offense and defense in war. to recreation and exercise, and to competitive challenge and ego fulfillment The purpose of archery is fluid and not absolute. therefore it cannot provide an absolute meaning for life. The meaning of life is the quest of all quests. Without a meaning for life some people

POMFRET. CT - Myrtle "Mimi” Miller, founder of The World Archery Center with her late husband Ed, was honored recently by the Archery Manufacturers Organization (AMO) in recognition of her fifty-fifth anniversary of running the popular archery training center The World Archery Center (TWAC), formerly Teela-Wooket Archery Camp, was organized in 1937 to train educators to teach archery skills, and to introduce youth to archery as a lifetime sport Over two thousand men and women have taken the TWAC Instructors Course to qualify for teaching and coaching archery in schools and colleges. An estimated twelve million students have learned about archery as a result of this TWAC training of teachers.

commit suicide, others lead lives of chaotic self indulgence, and apathy overcomes many others. The meaning of life is a foundational question about whom we are and what we do and why we do it The Christian's response to this question is to live a life of fellowship and thankful service with their God. It might surprise many if not most of the people who come to TWAC to hear me say that TWAC is not about archery Those who think that TWAC is about archery drink not fully from its well. TWAC is about people who have found a way to serve in God’s kingdom and to touch an ever expanding circle of people. Mimi (and Ed) have tossed the pebble of God's love at TWAC and the ripples are continually spreading across the lives of others; Lu, Charlie, Lynn. Bud, Maryanne. Julia, Bill. Marcia. Jerry. Jackie. David, Ron. myself, and on and on and on TWAC is about all of you in this chapel. It is about our God who is continually creating relationships and order out of the chaos of a world broken by sin. At TWAC, archery is the media, but it definitely is not the message. What we are doing here in this chapel is the message God's love is the message To come to TWAC is to be immersed in God's love. It is to be surrounded by people who have found no greater joy than to let each person who passes across these fields know that they are valuable and worthy of the best attention, care, and coaching that is available. Sometimes those people are pretty unlovable, but only by misfocused human standards Never by God's standards and clearly. God's standards are what matter at TWAC God has given us form to undergird and shape life, but never to be life or the goal of life. God has given us focus to remember that life through our relationship with him is the goal. The greatest purpose you can have in life is to serve our God and share His love. That is an enduring purpose that continually finds new expressions. TWAC will officially end this year, what will follow is not clear What we need is not just another archery program, what we need is a TWAC. We need a place where archery can be a great joy of life, but where serving and ministering to the people whom God brings through our lives can be its purpose With God's grace we can find this place in ourselves and in our hearts and when we do TWAC will continue as it always has from person to person and from generation to generation. Our God is a God of purpose. He is a God of form, focus and purpose, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Earlier in my message I noted that the covenant order that God entered with Abram said that Abram would be blessed to be a blessing. We like Abram, have been given a great gift by God. It has the form of TWAC; it is filled with the love of Christ; and, it has the Spirit of service. How we will use our blessings Is what life Is all about. Rev. William N Esborn

PULLING THE RIGHT STRING By BOB ANDERSON as told to JOHN SIELICKI AND LES MANESS AUTHORS LES MANESS
AND JOHN SIELICKI
It seems no matter where I travel, the archers I speak with experience the same type of difficulties with Fast Flight bow strings Their problems include string stretch, movement of the center serving and instances where one power cable moves while the other remains static. To try to solve these dilemmas, I talked to several industry experts and undertook a lot of personal experimentation From that I devised a few techniques which may help you control these factors and keep you from being “strung along " If you are making your own strings, you should burn the ends after you tie them off This should be done immediately after the end loop is served This will keep the string from being pulled through despite continuous shooting. When you serve the end and center servings, be sure they are all served in the same direction. This will ensure that the servings will become tighter when the strings are twisted. In addition,
be sure to twist the string in the same direction as the material itself. This may sound confusing, so let me explain. A strand of Fast Flight is made with a twist to it. To determine which way your Fast Flight is twisted, grab each end and turn it. It will loosen or tighten according to the way the material is twisted The next step in optimum string construction is always a "hot" topic for discussion I have found that the less wax in the string, the less likely it is to move. (This might be because the wax takes up the space while the string is being built.) After repeated shootings the string heats up and the wax bleeds. That allows the material to move within itself under the servings To solve this challenge. I build my strings with dry Fast Flight. I then wax only the exposed portion of the string so that normal abrasion can occur without wear The result of this process is very little movement during shooting. If you buy your strings from a local pro shop, heat up the string with a hair dryer or by rubbing it with a piece of leather or nylon. After the string is hot, wipe off all excess wax Then twist the string to the properly desired length I recommend 10 to 15 twists If you take your string out of the wheel to twist it, be sure to use full turns. Otherwise, the Fast Flight, which acts like a cable, will break when you bend it back and forth. Replace the string in the wheel with the same bend you removed it with

If you have problems with your center serving moving up, here's a hint you may find helpful Run your center serving up to 1 1/2 inches below your peep That way. when your peep is in place, the string that is separated will push down on your center serving Make sure your peep is placed at the proper height before shooting a string repeatedly Fast Fight material has "memory ." It will always seek to return to its original position Improperly installed, the peep will seek to return to an improper position. You will also want to make a point of tying your peep in securely This will ensure its position exactly where you want it to be Although some believe that various color strings will stretch differently, I feel that the

actual color has little to do with it My experience tells me that any perceived differences are due instead to the strings construction and the amount of wax in its overall composition Finally, and most importantly, you should be aware that virtually everything on your string affects speed This includes the amount of end serving, the center serving, the type of nock point, the kind of peep, the amount of wax and even the number of strands Therefore. if you want to get your back-up string to perform like your number one string, you must build it the same way and at the same time. This will deliver the same consistency from the manufacturer’s material and help you reduce your margin for error even further.

What an honor it was to serve as coach of our 1992 US Paralympic Archery Team and what a great team we had for these 1992 Games The friendships formed over the past year will last a lifetime If "Team Spirit" would have been enough, we would have won all the medals in Barcelona. The Paralympic Team members earned their places on the team through a trials process much like that of the able-bodied US Team We had several training camps during the past eighteen months to help us prepare

The week spent at the USOTC in Colorado Springs in November was one of the most productive for the team Ed Eliason and Joe Asay spent several days with us and were outstanding. Ed shot a practice round (full FITA Round) with us and asked me to stay as the rest of the team had to catch the bus back for supper Ed wanted to finish the round we started as he had a decent score going What a pleasure it was to stay and watch Ed shoot While we were moving the butts to the 50 meter distance, Ed fell and the matt and stand fell on him He wasn't hurt but I think it sort of burnt him up as he went on to shoot 347 - 2 points above the existing world record for that distance. He finished with a 1337 which was his seventh practice score above 1330 for the year. If there is a finer ambassador of the sport of archery. I've yet to meet that person In May of 1992 we again attended the yearly training camp held at California State. Sacramento. California, and really had a productive camp The camp is run by Dr. Rory Cooper and Dr Fred Baldini and their human resources lab is a thing to behold. Our thanks to those fine gentlemen and the USOC for making that yearly camp possible
It gets better every year and has been a key reason for the success of our US Paralympic athletes in world competition Because of the size of the USA. it is almost impossible to get all the US Team members together to train as a team The only time we get to work together, other than a camp, is to have a mini camp just prior to an international event I had organized a camp for our 1988 team at Discovery Park in Sacramento just prior to leaving for Seoul and it worked very well I realized many years ago that there is more than just shooting arrows together Io make a team. Organizing a camp this year was more difficult as we were leaving from JFK in New York. Six months prior to the 1992 Games I had asked Jerry Pylypchuk about holding a camp in his area of New Jersey as he is very close to JFK. Of course. Jerry was only too willing to help. With the help of Jerry and the entire Pylypchuk family, we had a great stay in New Jersey We booked into the Ramada Hotel a few miles away from the Bloomfield Archery Club Range of which Jerry is President If you have never been involved with disabled persons you would never know the many difficulties encountered Each part of the camp

On behalf of our team, "Thanks Wait", your support of our team was very much appreciated Our training camp went very well It ran from August 23rd through the 28th then it was on to Barcelona We arrived in Barcelona suffering from terminal jet lag as we had about six hours of delay time en route After going through the accreditation procedure, it was nice to relax and get acclimated Our building was just off the beach in the village and we had a nice cool breeze that required a blanket at night I had talked to my good friend, Skip Phillips. just prior to leaving for camp and he told me that it was so hot there that he had a very hard time sleeping Skip was a judge for the able-bodied Olympic Games and was able to answer many of my questions regarding the venue in Barcelona The weather for the entire period of the Paralympic Games was just beautiful The archery schedule began on Monday. August 31 Five days were allotted for practice
November-December 1992
with a break on Thursday for the opening ceremonies m Olympic Stadium The Paralympic Games used the same village, venues. transportation, opening ceremonies, etc . as were used in the Olympic Games The opening was outstanding The highlight, of course. was the lighting of the Paralympic flame by Anthony Rebollo. a Paralympic archer from Spain The "Olympic Issue" of THE U.S ARCHER contains all the highlights of the opening and the lighting of the flame as well as background information That issue is a classic and a real example of a well photographed, well edited and well written account of the Olympic Games of 1992 Thanks Arlyne for a beautiful issue On Saturday the fifth the official practice session and equipment inspection was held on the competition field. One hundred four archers representing twenty-nine countries were scheduled to compete. A meeting was held for coaches/team leaders to answer any last minute questions prior to the beginning of the competition Organization was the key word in preparation for the archery competition. The archery venue at Vai d'Hebron was very well organized Our US Team consisted of seven archers, three men and one woman in the AR2 (paraplegic) division, two in AR1 (quadriplegic) division and one archer in A6 division A rough explanation is' paraplegic has use of the body from the waist area up and quadriplegic is a high level injury that precludes the use of hands or fingers, etc The A6 class is amputees

Needless to say. Carroll got a lot of press in Barcelona as well as shooting 1023 in the FITA Round Carroll was in a very tough division as he had to shoot against leg amputees who have full use of their arms and fingers Competition/qualifying rounds began on Sunday 6 September The full FITA Round 90. 70. 50. 30 meters was shot by all male competitors and 70. 60. 50 and 30 meters were shot by all female competitors At the end of the qualifying round Sid was in second place and Dick was in seventh in men’s AR1 Joe was in eighth place and Carlton was in sixteenth place in AR2 Men and Susan was in 11th place in AR2 Women. Sid was shooting very well until his release started to hang up just before the start of the 1/4 Finals Despite changing to his backup he was unable to get back in the groove Dick went on to win the !/ 4 Finals and Semi-Finals and won the Silver Medal after losing to the Gold Medalist, Minami of Japan 96-90 It was a time of very mixed emotions We were all very happy for Dick but couldn't help feeling very sad for Sid.

was great to see Sid bury his disappointment and congratulate his good friend Dick. He really showed his true character and the kind of man he is When the final results were tabulated, they didn’t list Sid as the winner but he was a real winner to our team Susan just missed qualifying in Women’s AR2 The competition was very keen in that division and was won by Paola Fantato of Italy who shot a new world record of 1285 in the qualifying round Miss Fantato blew everybody away in the finals round and took the Gold home to Italy The Silver was won by Elli Korva of Finland and the Bronze by Hifumi Suzuki of Japan. Joe, Carlton and Jay were in the AR2 division which is the largest. All archers in this division are required to shoot FITA-legal equipment unlike the AR1 division where the archers may use a compound and release This is necessary as AR1 archers do not have the use of their fingers Both Sid and Dick have to place their release so they can make the shot happen by using their jawbone or tongue If you shoot a release, try making it work while sitting down in a chair with your feet a few inches off the ground then raise your bow. Allow your release to work by hitting your jawbone or using your tongue and try to hit the target at 90 meters! You will soon see that it takes a lot of practice just to get the shot off right. Joe's score in the FITA Round was 1204 while Carlton shot 1177. Carlton was a real pleasant surprise The Paralympic Games competition was just his third FITA score ever. How many readers out there shot that well in their third FITA? Carlton was actually 2 points ahead of Joe after the first day standing at 575 after his 311 at 70 meters to Joe's 305. Some of the credit for his fine performance must be given to my good friend Rick Stonebraker of Houston Rick lives within twenty miles of Carlton and gave him some solid advice and coaching this past year Jay missed qualifying by just one position In the 1/16 Finals, Carlton lost to Ping Sun Wong by just 1 point while Joe won his match with Ki-Ki Jang of Korea 99-88 Joe went on to win the 1/8 Finals against Paavo Grekula of Sweden 111-95. Joe's score of 111 was the highest of all scores at the Paralympic Games in the 1/4 Finals Joe won his match against our good friend from down under. Arthur Fisk, with 101-87 Joe lost his next match to Hermann Nortmann of Germany then lost the bronze by just 2 points to Udo Wolf of Germany. Final results in AR2: Orazio Pizzorni of Italy - Gold; Hermann Nortmann of Germany - Silver; and Udo Wolf of Germany - Bronze. One of the most pleasant experiences of the Games was the remarks by everyone of the quality of the shooting and high scores. Twenty-four (24) World and Paralympic records were set during the Games Joe's score of 111 was the highest but the majority were above 100 points. Mr. Don Lovo who was Chairman of Judges for both the Olympic and Paralympic Games remarked that he was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the shooting. The Games of 1992 marked the first time that FITA appointed and supplied

the judges for the Games The quality of the judging was greatly appreciated. Some of our experiences at past international tournaments left many of the archers with little respect for the judges. It couldn't really be blamed on the judges as they were not experienced or educated in the art of judging All the judges assigned to the Paralympic Games were of the highest quality We were very happy to hear that Mr Lovo will form a group of FITA judges to work international archery events for the disabled when requested by the respective organizing committees. It is very gratifying to know that the FITA judges all realize that the disabled archer is an archer first who just happens to be disabled We shot exactly the same rounds as shot in the Olympic Games and a lot of our archers shot higher scores We are especially proud of that We left Barcelona with a Silver Medal and the respect of archers from other countries In competitive archery, our US Team members are realizing that it’s not the archer who shoots the most 10’s that necessarily wins but it is the archer who puts the most arrows closest to the center who always wins. Some mental mistakes hurt us and we have to work on that but that's part of what top competitive archery is all about We didn't get to compete in the team round as we didn’t qualify high enough in the qualifying round using the Olympic Round format Our team is getting stronger all the time but we need new blood to keep improving If you are a disabled archer and want to get involved, please contact me through THE U S. ARCHER One of the highlights of our trip to Barcelona was the formation of the IPC Sports Assembly This new group is comprised of the major disability groups and will be the authority at world and Paralympic events.

to be elected as chairman of the ISMWSF (archery section) and voted in as a member of the Archery Sports Assembly of the Executive Committee The quality of the competitions for the disabled is improving as well as the number I am gratified to be a part of the movement One of the greatest memories I will have of the Paralympic Games of 1992 is the team spirit shown by all our US Team members We lived together, ate together, shot together, went sight-seeing together. Had almost daily meetings and we never got tired of each others company. One of my hardest jobs was getting everybody to bed. Everybody wanted to stay up and talk archery to all hours of the morning

All of our archers who weren't shooting in a particular round or event took the bus to the archery venue to support and cheer for their fellow team members That may not sound like much but you have to realize how difficult it can be for a disabled person to make the bus trip from the village to the archery venue Their support was much appreciated. There are many persons to thank who helped our US Paralympic Archery Team make the trip to Barcelona. Mark Focht, who acted as attendant and filled in as Team Manager at the competition venue did a great job. Mark also filled the game shoes for our trip to Awwen, Holland, for the 1990 World Championships We were lucky to get him and hope he will be available in the future.
Lynette Banek and June Clark also made the trip to Barcelona June attended the training camp in New Jersey, fell in love with the entire Pylypchuk family and was a great help in the operation of the camp. June is team member Carlton Clarks sister-in-law while Lynette is his business manager Yes, I forgot to mention each US Team Member paid their own way to Barcelona to shoot for their country. They also paid their way to the training camp we had in New Jersey It cost every team member $2500 00 to go to Barcelona and shoot arrows for the USA It was only through the efforts of people like June and Lynette who organized the fund raisers to get the money that allowed Carlton to be a part of our Paralympic Archery Team All the other team members raised their own money to go also Thanks to everybody who supported them We have several quality archers who wanted to go but couldn't afford the expense It's a sad state of affairs that I hope will change as more funding becomes available June and Lynette were invaluable in Barcelona I don't know how we could have ever gotten along without them They were at the venue daily, operated the video camera, carried and pushed and a million other things They were just great and I hope they will be able to make the next trip (World Championships - Milan, Italy. July 1993) They had such a good time that I'll bet they have already started to raise funds for the trip In closing, I would again like to thank everybody who supported our 1992 US Paralympic Archery Team The next Paralympic Games will be held about ten days after the closing of the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996 We hope the US TV coverage will be as it was in Spam and across Europe Coverage was fantastic for all the Paralympic events Archery was especially well covered and it was great to watch the events of the day on TV in the evenings in the village. Were you happy with the TV coverage of the Olympic Games here in the USA? The last person to thank is Mr Jim Easton, President of FITA. whose dedication and commitment to our sport was instrumental in
THE U. S ARCHER
insuring our presence in future Olympic Games. Somebody should write an article about that involvement and commitment. It would make some very interesting reading Thanks also Mr. Easton for your behind-the-scenes support of our Paralympic Team Not many know of your support but the team does and we want you to know that we are very appreciative.

JOE GREJDUS VISITS PHOENIXVILLE SCHOOL The group listened as Joe described the different parts of the bow and they were amazed at how thin and light the A/C/E arrow was that he passed around. He also answered their questions about wheelchair and able-bodied archery. Joe also spoke of his previous international competitions and how he Is preparing for his trip to the Paralympics in Barcelona. Spain in September. After the demonstration, pictures were taken and copies of THE U.S. ARCHER and Sports 'n Spokes (donated by both magazines) were handed out to the teachers and students. Joe frequently puts on demonstrations at various schools and colleges in an effort to promote archery and to let the students see that despite having a disability one can still lead a very active life.

What would you do if you held a party and double the guests arrived? Well that is what happened at the IBO World Championships in Anniston, Alabama The management expected 1,500 archers and over 3,000 came to play. This is what happens when you have a game everyone wants to play and there is a place for everyone from the cub to the longbow adult archer Plans are also to add another class for shooters under age seven The IBO’s concern for children has also resulted in adapting the Feed The Children Campaign project (see page 387 for more information) Ninety-four percent of all funds donated to Feed The Children go to children around the world, although most funds go to children in the U.S.
The IBO is also involved in a three-year grant program with the Police Athletic League of America. PAL The following is information we received from the PAL newspaper: ARCHERY GRANT EXPANDS ITS TARGETED AUDIENCE FROM THE NATIONAL POLICE ATHLETIC LEAGUE The National PAL Archery Program is right on target as it aims for future growth and development. The National Association of Police Athletic Leagues (PAL) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded an Archery Program Development and Training Grant. This grant was made possible through the International Bowhunting Organization (IBO) and will be used to offer the sport of archery to additional PAL chapters across the country.
JOHN SIELICKI ( HIGH COUNTRY) PRESENTS BONUS DOLLARS TO RANDY CHAPPELL (MFG IND) AND SONNY CHAPPELL

This grant will assist in funding a pyramid based expansion program for the training of chapters nationwide who are interested in participating in the sport of archery The IBO has committed to funding the program for a three-year period. Both National PAL and the IBO recognize that this program has the potential to reach literally thousands of youth throughout the country. Working towards and realizing their mutual goals will allow both National PAL and the IBO to offer a unique opportunity to both youth already involved in archery, as well as those who have an interest to enter into the sport. The two organizations will work hand-in-hand on both the national as well as the local level. CONTINUED ON PAGE 367

IBO NATIONAL TRIPLE CROWN WITNESSES HISTORY MAKING PERFORMANCES FOR HIGH COUNTRY Scholars would tell us that history repeats itself However, what are the odds that it should do so in one day? As unlikely as that premise may seem, that is exactly what happened at the second leg of the IBO National Triple Crown in Bedford, Indiana The history-making performance took place in the Pro Manufacturer's class in a fierce competition between Shannon Caudle of PP&S Targets and Randy Ulmer of High Country Archery At tournaments end both men compiled an unprecedented 396 out of 400
possible points This constituted the highest scores ever shot by an individual at an IBO National Triple Crown The excitement of the record setting achievement was further enhanced by the extraordinary shoot off that took place. In order to claim first place, both men were required to shoot at a dot at an unmarked distance. which later proved to be 48 yards. Shannon lead off with an amazing shot less than one inch to the left of center Randy followed with a laser-precise shot that was also centered
The arrows were so close that the judges called for a measurement In the end it was a matter of millimeters that determined victory for Shannon Caudle Both competitors were shooting High Country Supreme Bows Going into the third and final leg of the IBO National Triple Crown in Nelsonville, Ohio, Shannon leads the overall individuals, with the ever-persistent Randy Ulmer challenging with a very close second.

IBO has offered to assist PALs at the local level with everything from teaching skills to securing donated equipment for the beginning archers. In turn. PAL is opening up the door to the sport of archery to their participants everywhere PAL volunteers will be properly trained to coach as well as teach other volunteers interested in coaching. This will then provide more proficient instructors to the youth who are expressing an interest in the sport Tina Lux. National Program Coordinator commented. "It is the hope of everyone involved in the program that by the end of the threeyear period, a solid foundation will have been laid, upon which a new tower of archery can begin to be built." Preparations for the '92 Annual National PAL 'On Target' Archery Tournament have begun and that information, along with information on what the expanded archery program entails and how local PALs can become involved, will be forthcoming this spring IBO President Dave Woodward was also proud to announce the top six winners in all cub and youth classes also receive quarter semester scholarships from Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio. The breakdown for each class for the awards is as follows: 1st..... 6 quarters 3rd. 4 quarters
2nd ... 5 quarters 4th .... 3 quarters
5th..... 2 quarters
6th .... 1 quarter
For these World Championships, everyone competing must have qualified by shooting in the top twenty in at least one previous IBO Competition qualifier. A qualifier is a tournament where 40 2-D silhouette or 3-D type targets are shot from targets set at unmarked yardages up to approximately 50 yards. Cubs shoot 30 yards maximum. In addition to the generous scholarships the Youth Release Champion (ages thirteen through seventeen). Blaine Homister won $1947.00. Pretty nice, huh? Another big money winner was Justin Taylor in the cub division (ages through twelve) winning just $1599.00 and he has a few years to go before he is eighteen years old and can claim his scholarships. Not bad for a weekend's work shooting your bow The men's bowhunter release division had the best payback of the tournament, Bobby Ketcher won a sizzling $7088 00 Even second

NEW PRODUCTS
NEET PRODUCTS ADDS NEW DIMENSION OF ACCURACY TO THE ARCHERY RELEASE AID
SIGHT MASTER INTRODUCES NEW "LIGHT RINGS"
One of the greatest problems with bowhunters using sight scopes is the ability to clearly see the sight during low light situations SIGHT MASTER, Inc of Townsend, MT, has recently introduced its solution to sight acquisition with its "LIGHT RINGS" "LIGHT RINGS" are flexible vinyl rings that easily fit into the scope and add that extra ring of brightness needed to shoot well on low light days. They are designed to fit all 1" bow scopes. Each pack of four rings will come with one each, white, lime, pink and orange for high visibility and personal preference Each LIGHT RING will be die cut to accept a sight pin but all may easily by customized for any scope with the inside diameter of 1”. SIGHT MASTER, Inc is one of the leading manufacturers of modern archery bow sights and now offers it Sight Master Bow Sight and the Touch Master Finger Tip Adjustment Control. For complete information on the new LIGHT RINGS, see your local archery pro shop or contact: SIGHT MASTER, Inc., Sales/Catalog USA Dept . 293 Highway 12 East. Townsend. MT 59644 Phone (406)266-5516
SSSH ARCHERY PRODUCTS NEW TILLER ANGLE TUNER SSSH ARCHERY PRODUCTS introduces a new concept in bow tuning: the SSSH TILLER ANGLE TUNER. This is not just another bow square The TILLER ANGLE TUNER comes with both vertical and horizontal center shot alignment tools. The vertical center shot tool treats your bow as an unknown angle Vertical tuning aligns your specific arrow size to the unknown and unmeasurable reflective angle of your specific bow The horizontal center shot tool assures that your arrow moves exactly parallel to the bow's limb tips during the draw. Tuning takes less than fifteen minutes and your first arrow flies without porpoise or Fishtail. For information contact Van Drlelen Machine, Home of SSSH Archery Products.

Shooting a release aid has improved the accuracy of archers many times over, and now NEET Products of Sedalia, MO, has taken this innovation one giant leap forward with the introduction of its new "In Line Draw System " The "In Line Draw System" is completely different from all existing release straps in that it comfortably fits around the elbow rather than the wrist This forces the archer to maintain proper shooting form using the back muscles while keeping the elbow in correct alignment It also eliminates the pressure from the wrist, the weakest most inaccurate link in the shooting mechanics The "In Line Draw System" utilizes the stronger, rather than weaker muscles which produces greater accuracy, consistency and stamina It also allows the archer to shoot heavier poundage bows and shoot for longer durations In addition, this system will adapt to most popular release aids. If you are interested in shooting with greater accuracy over a longer period of time or if you have problems shooting the way you want but can't due to wrist, hand or finger injury, the new "In Line Draw System" is the answer For more information on the new "In Line Draw System" see your local NEET dealer or contact: NEET Products, Inc., Sales/Catalog USA Dept .

When you shake the bottle and squeeze it, these almost microscopic glass balls adhere to a surface while the solution evaporates Later, when a flashlight is held at your eye height, the glass balls reflect directly into your eyes.” The PP&S 3-D Deer Targets are also available immediately from Bear. Smith says the two deer targets (sized large and "super")
New stand which allows the matt to be easily flopped and will accommodate one, two or four backup matts can cut the cost of stopping arrows in half It is easier on arrows because of the space between the wood upnghts and the matt This cuts arrow damage and stand damage to a minimum. The backup matts are independent of the main matt and are easily reversed or rotated to give uniform wear. The 48" matt is of uniform tightness making arrows easier to pull The company recommends one 30” backup if the target is being used with a 48". 36" or 30 cm. face If two 40 cm faces are being used, two 20" backups are recommended If four 3-spot Vegas faces are being used, four 20” backup matts are recommended Although the backup matts are not necessary for camp and school wear, they will keep the matt flat making face attachment easier In the event high performance heavy weight bows and small carbon arrows are being used in an archery club situation, it prolongs the matt life wear and keeps the cost of stopping and scoring arrows to a minimum (It will also extend the life of the matt if the Saunders Combo Points is being used) Not enough attention has been given to the problem of stopping arrows shot from high performance bows that kick out carbon arrows at 300 feet per second Few archers stop to consider that it takes 70% as much effort to stop an arrow as it took in energy to get the arrow ready to release In effect, if the matt is hit with an arrow going 200 feet per second, it is like hitting it with a 10 ounce hammer going about 66 feet per second There has been some effort to redesign the point by making it more blunt, although the arrow is stopped, it wears out the matt faster whether it is spiral around Indian Cord fiber or foam Much faster To make the matt last longer the arrow should have a long tapering point. The larger the taper, the more the arrow is stopped with a cutting action - It is less expensive to stop an arrow by friction than stopping it because of a cutting action This new concept in stands makes layered stopping practical.

THE NEW SENTRY SPORTSMAN'S SOUND BOOSTER BY AERO-SONICS
New Sound Amplification Device Specially Designed for Bowhunters The SENTRY sportsman's sound amplifi cation system from Aero-Sonics is a state-ofthe-art electronic bowhunting aid which comes with a variety of features top hunters expect, and one they don't - an affordable price That's why the Aero-Sonics SENTRY is widely rec ognized as the leading value in sound ampli fication systems on the market today The SENTRY uses sophisticated electronic circuitry and an ultra sensitive microphone to amplify the slightest noises made by game animals This allows bowhunters to locate and follow game more effectively, even in the thickest cover
The SENTRY is very easy to use, with a snap-in headphone jack and a fully adjustable volume control A convenient belt clip keeps the SENTRY at your side when taking sound readings, and when it's time to move, it easily stows away in a pocket or pack For maximum effectiveness and comfort. the SENTRY includes a set of feather-light headphones In addition, the SENTRY unit is lightweight (3 ounces) and compact (about the size of a wallet), so it will go virtually unnoticed, even during a full day of hunting The SENTRY is especially effective for bowhunters when used with Aero-Sonics’ CRICKET SONIC GAME/ARROW LOCATOR When an arrow containing the CRICKET stnkes game or brush, it emits a "chirping" sound. The SENTRY allows bowhunters to hear this sonic beacon at much greater distances, enhancing the ability to locate stray arrows and track hit game more effectively This not only means a substantial savings in costly shafts and broadheads, but it aids in recovenng game animals, as well Even with all these advanced features. the SENTRY retails for under $30 00. It's now available at sporting goods and hunting products retailers nationwide. For more information about the SENTRY or any of the other quality Aero-Sonics bowhunting products, contact Aero-Sonics, Inc., P O Box 4886, Dept P-USA, Boise, ID 83704 Phone (208)322-7009

ROTHHAAR RECURVE PRESENTS THE FLIGHT RITE SPINE TESTER THE SECRET IS OUTItl CUSTOM BOWYERS KNOW ABOUT IT TOURNAMENT ARCHERS KNOW ABOUT IT PRO-SHOPS HAVE USED IT FOR YEARS. ALL ARCHERS NEED TO KNOW ARROW SPINE MUST MATCH THE BOW TO GET OPTIMUM ACCURACY AND THE BEST BROADHEAD FLIGHT!" Bare shaft shooting proves the need for correct SPINE.
Slow motion photography reveals the effect that arrow SPINE has on performance It is the single, most important consideration In bow tuning be it longbow, recurve or compound. A new dimension in tuning is available to any archer with access to a quality, accurate spine testing machine, such as the "FlightRite." Arrows absolutely must be matched to the bow in spine, and for consistent groups should be matched to each other in spine Don't rely on arrow manufacturers to do this for you, as it is too costly and time consuming for them to provide the spine accuracy you need Arrow charts can also be too generic and unreliable as a guide for your bow/arrow combo The ultimate goal for any archer/bowhunter is to get arrow flight which is as straight and smooth as possible without the need for extra large feathers to compensate for flight problems Too heavy arrow spine is as bad as too light when it comes to matching to the bow Flight tendency to the left or right of the aiming point, or erratic arrow flight are clear indications that the arrow spine is not correct By testing all your arrows on the "FlightRite". you can know for sure that your set up is right and that your arrow flight will be rightll

IN MEMORY OF JAMES A. BAILEY By KERRY BAILEY March 30,1946-September 3,1992 James A Bailey, 46, of Batavia, died suddenly on Thursday, September 3, 1992 at the Green Memorial Hospital in Xenia, Ohio, while on a business trip. He was born on March 30, 1946 in Green Bay, Wisconsin Jim was raised in Lakewood, Wisconsin We were married in 1973 and have two daughters, Michelle and Melanie Jim was employed by Illinois Bell for twenty-two years Served two tours in Vietnam in the U S Marine Corps. He served as Vice-President and President of the Auroraland Archers, served as one of the original Board of Directors for the IBO until 1991, was a member of the Illinois Bowhunting Society, and the North American Hunting Club Over this last year he contnbuted to the Outdoor Journal on WFXW Fox Valley Radio Station, in Geneva. IL As an indoor activity he bowled with the loyal Order of Moose Lodge 682 in Batavia Was a past member of the Lions Club in early 1970‘s Through Midwest Outdoors. Jim's articles gave him the opportunity to educate other sportsmen the value of his experiences he learned from the time his father took him fishing. He enjoyed fishing for bass using the techniques his father taught him when fishing for trout Dad always said, that the bigger ones got that way by not being stupid and that nothing came easy was worth doing In the mid-1970’s Jim and I moved to the Fox Valley Area where he renewed his interest in bowhunting He joined the Auroraland Archers and participated in the many club activities and tournaments Through ALA. we have met and made several good fnendships He traveled with Rollie Mantske to several tournaments in the mid-west Getting back into archery brought him closer to another one of the sports he enjoyed as a kid He never won any prominent animal trophy, but was able to spend time in the hills and valleys of the land which he truly loved. In 1984 the IBO was just beginning to take shape Jim was asked if he would like to be part of it. Since that time he served as a member of the Board and then as VicePresident. Jim enjoyed being a part of this new organization He worked hard to make it the organization for the bowhunter He spent several hours traveling to sport shows, tournaments and meetings to help educate and unify bowhunters alike In the late 1980*s the IBO office was moved to our home where it stayed until the spring of 1991 Through the IBO we also met and made several good friendships throughout the country. We’ve missed seeing these friends but have thought of them often. Michelle, ten, and Melanie, six. were often Jim’s fishing partners along the many river banks I would tag along once in a while when we would go for a day long outing or just sit along the Fox River We all believe in the catch and release program and keeping our river banks clean of debris for others to

HAVE YOUR SAY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 330
But we are not, those claiming this are fooling themselves If you shoot a recurve with sight and "everything" you are supposed to shoot better than the barebow archer - and if you shoot a compound with scope and release. you are supposed to shoot with better accuracy than the recurve sight shooter This is why the FITA Field has three different pegs for the three divisions, and this is why a compound archer should score on an inner (smaller) ten ring in target archery Not because we want to hold compound down, but because this is what we believe to be a realistic size with that equipment. Also keeping in mind that in FITA we like to have the possibility of shooting records - also in the years to come’ Some may claim that the inner ten ring is small, and yes it is, but it is equal to everybody in the compound division - and the best archers are shooting groups inside that ten - which proves that the size of the ring is not too small - at least on the 30m!
There are several reasons why the inner ten has been chosen for compound target archery: • The compound round should be different from the freestyle round, and the degree of difficulty should be comparably similar. •It should be difficult (impossible) to shoot a full score on any distance •It should not discourage the beginner and average shooter (the total size of the face is large, even if the ten is small) •Organizing a tournament should not become more difficult because of a new division (Which rt would have been if we shot a different distances or different sizes of target faces) •Target face inventory should be kept as low as possible. The inner ten system has been well accepted, and it has allowed us to let the compound archer shoot the normal FITA rounds, with the possibility of setting records. The positive feedback on the inner ten nng in compound target archery, has encouraged the FITA Field committee to consider a similar system for field archery By doing so. we may let the FS and CB shoot from the same peg, and this will hopefully simplify the organizers work a little and maybe bring back the possibility of a few walk ups for those that want to shoot walk ups and fans There is as many opinions of archery as archers, but a majority of FITA's delegates believe in segregating the divisions as described above, hoping that this will protect the integrity of the different types of archery for the future

79 Nations are now united in F.I.T.A. FITA, La Federation Internationale de Tir FArc, was founded 1931 in Poland in connection with the first World Champion ships in Target Archery. Archers from 4 Nations: Poland, Czechoslovakia, France and Sweden, participated at that time. At the Grand FITA World Championships 1991 in Krakow, Poland, Archers from 45 Nations attended. Tough-Target®® Faces, printed on chlorine-free paper were used in Krakow. Paper bleached without chlorine means less pollution; and Better Environment Tough-Target®® Faces have been made for Better Archery since 1971. Used in National Tournaments in every "FITA-Country”, in Target & Field World Championships; and all Olympic Games since 1972.
