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

Pete Shepley President Precision Shooting Equipment

TECHNICAL SUPERIOR TY I started with the concept of a machined riser that would be priced within reason and still offer all the PSE features that a consumer deserves. The SR riser was the first in this series offering increased Cer ter Flite clearance and precise CF compatibility Being machined from 6061T aluminum gave it strength along with a design that was verified by Finite Stress Analysis. The next riser to roll off the production line was a lightened version of the SR with smaller ergonomic proportions and available ir shorter draw lengths down to 23”. Our Infinity LD riser is a longer version with deflexed design featuring a lowered grip and rest location like the other Infinity risers. It’s what we call our "center line design." The SR-1000, SR-500, SRL-500, LD-300 bows all feature the PSE patented molded Magnaglass/Graphite limbs with con stant cross section design formula for extended durability. The Infinity risers all feature limb pockets with floating half round bearings. All of these features contribute to make the Infinity one of the most dependable performance bows available today. o o I'm especially proud of our Synergos (Pat. Pend.) grip which adjusts laterally to provide tuning capabilities beyond that of centershot adjustment, a new dimension in tuning. All Infinity bows, aside from LD-2000 and LD-300, use the high performance Synergy III eccentrics which provide more power to each shot by increasing the peak weight duration of the power stroke. Synergy Ill's also offer choice of cabling options; pigtail. Fast Cam style or all Synthetic Harness and string. You'll find Syn ergy's to be smooth and positive during the draw and on the shot. Cosmetically, we've never offered any more attractive product. New hard anodized colors for the competitor and new Rhino type 3 anodizing in matte finish. I'm proud of our Infinity bow line and I invite you to take a good look at the advantages they offer. I guarantee you'll be pleased.

SEASON'S GREETINGS FROM THE STAFF OF THE U. S. ARCHER

This is the time of year we look back at the events of the year, personal, archery and worldwide, to count the blessings in our lives. September 25th was a very special day - I became a grandmother for the fifth time, all granddaughters. Newborn Samantha and her sister Stephanie will come to “Gramma's" house for Thanksgiving with the other grandchildren: Tasha, Alisha and Alia. I hope your Thanksgiving, too, will be filled with blessings. This year we also saw the birth of a new archery organization, the Archer's Shooters

Association. Membership in this new organization claims over 5,000 for a first year. President and founder Wayne Pearson directed seven pro events with outstanding paybacks of over §300,000. With continued industry support this phase of archery should flourish with some of the greatest purses in 1994. See page 356 for the report on the ASA World Championships. Strong purses and scholarships are also growing in the International Bowhunting Organization area. Participation at this year's IBO World for the money and trophies exceeded 5,000 archers. The beautiful area in central Illinois, the Wolf and Eagle Creek State Parks, were overwhelmed with this kind of attendance. Next year on August 12-13-14, the IBO World Championships will be held at Flatwood, West Virginia. IBO President Ken Watkins reports even the Virginia State government is helping make this a success. See page 352 for report on the IBO World Championships. Recreational archery is certainly on the move, not only in the attendance field but by the number of new companies being born. When will we as a sport be recognized as a visibly dynamic sport? Our Olympic Champions, Jay Barrs, Darrell Pace, etc., should be household words. Is our sport ready to be born on the world scene? Will 1994 be the year where FETA (Federal Excise Tax Allocation) funds evolve into the ranges and promotion of archery we all know could be possible?

We at THE U. S. ARCHER are looking toward an exciting 1994. Thanks to the following contributors and photographers for making this the best year ever: Sandi Brasher, Dennis Carpenter. Diana Carr, Ann Clark, Bill Cooper, John & Gretel Dabovich, Alfronso Manrique de la Kiva, Kirk Ethridge, Kate McEvoy Grannermann. Dave Gratzmiller, Eric Hall, Timmie Hayes.

DEAR FRIENDS AND FELLOW ARCHERS, I would like to take this opportunity to openly thank and acknowledge everyone who called or sent cards with words ot encouragement and support during my recent accident The cheerful cards and uplifting phone calls were just what I needed at a time when everything seemed so depressing. To know that so many people cared and were truly concerned was overwhelming. It's nice to know how many friends one has and I appreciate what every one of you have done for me. THANK YOU SINCERELY. Jerry Pylypchuk

TO EDITOR OF THE U. S. ARCHER, We would like to commend the NAA lor appointing a national coach for the summer of 1993. It is a step in the right direction toward a unified effort to return our archers to the victory podium. One coach over a period of time can provide the continuity necessary for a more consistent, efficient and ultimately successful training program We also commend their choice of coach. Tim Strickland is well qualified to prepare the archers both physically and mentally to deal with the pressures now encountered in shooting the New Olympic and Team Rounds. We feel this is important if the U.S. is going to be internationally successful. We congratulate Tim and the Jr. World Team on their fine performance at the Jr. World Tournament in Moliets, France. We hope the NAA will consider Mr. Strickland as National Archery Coach lor lhe upcoming competition season. Thank you, Dick and Ella White Speed and Charlene McCullough

ANSWER TO ERIC HALL'S -SAY" (SEPT-NOV 1993) FROM FREDDIE TRONCOSO Dear Eric, I acknowledge your comments and thank you for reading U.S ARCHER Magazine. Simultaneously, I would like to take this opportunity to clarify any misunderstandings regarding your references to "learning" and other commentary. I'd like to refer you to my very first article that makes reference to SHOOTING FORM and appeared in the commemorative XXV Barcelona Archery issue of THE U.S. ARCHER. If you recall, the special issue featured two of my articles which included one entitled "The Importance of Aiming". I thereby will be quoting from a paragraph of said article in an attempt to clarify what has been printed as compared to what has been interpreted to be said. It is no great secret that the majority of Americans attending the Olympics as spectators were somewhat disappointed at the outcome in Barcelona last year. Yes. our archers gave it their best, but emerged empty handed as they tailed to bring home the "Gold" for either individual or team events. Continuing with my reply Io your "Say", I offer a paragraph excerpt from the "Aiming" article aforementioned. The paragraph reads: "Be it thoroughly understood that the purpose of this article is an attempt to make our archers aware that we as Americans, the former trend setters, are beginning to trail behind other countnes due to total disregard for these two most vital and necessary elements required for winning archery." As writer and author of this article and paragraph. I intended for this statement to infer that in order to be labeled "Trend Setters", we must have won some victories along the way. By this I am indirectly referring to the past Gold Medal wins by Williams. Pace. Ryon. Wilber and Barrs. For further clarification, I call your attention to semantics and use of language. Yes, your "Quote I" of my interview with Coach Park of Korea does indeed make reference to shooting "as they do" However, this does not mean that we must have anyone standing over our shoulders watching us as teachers. The essence of what the two quotes are saying is that we must continue to learn through our own proper practice and experiences. This includes relearning how to shoot using basis sound shooting FORM. The type mentioned FORM refers to using basic sound

THE U. S. ARCHER

shooting FORM that was a learned and set forth during the inception of target archery in the USA. If we expect to resume our position of World leaders with regards to archery, we as Americans are going to have to place more emphasis on applying the use of "Machine-like" shooting FORM and FOLLOW THROUGH if we expect to improve our performance and archery successes. You are correct, we can all proudly say that American archers have done well at most World Championships. We have indeed won a majority portion of World Championship medals over the past. It is imperative, however, for us to continue to improve or we will lose any chances of resuming the all important position of "Winners". If memory serves me correctly, the year 1976 marked the appearance and emergence of Korea as a threat for the gold The Korean women's team placed second winning the silver for the women s team competition. Since that time. Korean shooters have become a force to be reckoned with. We must not forget that they have only been shooting our style of archery since 1968 which makes their rise to the top even more impressive. The Korean men are also noteworthy with regard to their shooting As you are aware by now, the 1993 World Championships have just ended and the results are now known. I extend my sincere congratulations to Denise Parker tor her brilliant 1361 FITA and Io Rick McKinney for his 1346 FITA. Both these rounds were leading totals lor the individual competitions Emerging victorious after the shool-down finals were ... Kyung-Mo Park who won the men’s division shooting a new world record of 119 out of a possible 120 pass. In the women s division. Hyo-Jung Kim out pointed Barcelona Gold Medalist Cho giving Korea a total of tour World Championship gold medals tor 1993. Korea also won the men and women's team events proving once again that the Koreans are out there to win! Eric, with your shooting skill, positive outlook and motivation, I look tor you to be at Atlanta on the 1996 U.S. Archery Team. I sincerely wish you and the entire team the very best of luck and all my blessings. Go tor the gold and show the world what we can do. We can do it providing we are willing to dedicate the time and efforts necessary tor refining our SHOOTING FORM and FOLLOW THROUGH!

See Article by Freddie Troncoso on page 329 Dear U.S. ARCHER, I enjoyed your May-June issue very much however, there is one issue I wish to comment on. My comment is in reply to Per E. Bolstad written by Mr. John Pawlowski Mr. Pawlowski writes and I quote, "Compound bows far out number any type of bow being manufactured today and that FITA is out of touch with the grass root archers." These statements are false. There are many more recurve and longbow products than there are compounds. FITA is indeed in touch with the grass root archers. What Mr. Pawlowski fails to see is the fact that FITA has over 103 countries under its NOVEMBER - DECEMBER 1993

charier and the USA is only one country, one vote in FITA eyes. I have traveled to many of these countries as an archer and as a representative of the USA archery manufacturers and in every country I have traveled to there were many more recurve archers than there were compound archers. Example: In Japan’s National Championship, I was one of 26 compound archers competing and there were over 1,800 recurve archers. This is typical in about 100 of the 103 FITAcountnes.

Compounds worldwide are a very small minority. However. FITA does understand the needs and potential of the compound market and have recently made great strides into fulfilling those needs. By adopting a division for compound archers in FITA's National and World Championships. Now tor the first time ever. compound and recurves are shooting and winning side by side worldwide. This is not meant to put Mr Pawlowski's views down. I enjoyed and appreciated his CONTINUED ON PAGE 326

comments, but I did feel inclined to write this letter so more ol our US archers would know that at this time compounds are primarily a market the USA enjoys. Sincerely, Eric Hall, P.S.E ‘EDITOR'S NOTE: The following letter was received from Kirk Ethridge who has been a member of two NAA international Unlimited Archery Teams Dear Editor, I have just finished reading the article in your magazine. "FITA: Compound and Barebow Archery." Here are my feelings. Having competed in the 1992 World Field Championships and the 1993 World Indoor Championships I feel that some comments should be made. My trip to the Netherlands was a great experience This trip made me realize what international competition should be. This was a true athletic endeavor. Hiking several miles on a straight up and down field course makes one appreciate the gentle ranges we compete on here in the USA (no range I've competed on in the states can compare with the two set up in southern Holland in terms of angles and the strenuous hiking/climbing required to reach the shooting stakes and the target butts themselves). The World Indoor Championships held in Perpignan. France, was a strenuous event in its own right. Compare the 120 arrows fired in one qualifying day over about eight hours to the 20 arrows fired over about the same time frame during the popular 3-D events held here in the USA. The amount of mental as well as physical strength involved in these tournaments makes them truly deserving of the title "World Championships". Winning this event provided the greatest thrill of my archery career thus far. (This is a bold statement when you realize that I have won ten national championships plus Las Vegas and Atlantic City tournaments here in the US.) This brings my thoughts to Olympic competition. This event, held every four years, draws the greatest athletes in the world together in numerous venues of competition. The Olympic archery competition should require more physical and mental strength and stamina than any event in which we as archers compete. A higher degree of skill and

as participants and the industry as a whole, we were so dumb and bullheaded to not see what was needed to legitimize our dreams Making matters worse, here we go again with a major portion of the archery industry putting practically everything into 3-D. To possibly ward off a stoning, let me say nght up front I like 3-D shooting. It's difficult, challenging and tremendous practice for another of my life long joys, bowhunting. However what saddens me is that I feel an entire new generation is being lead to believe by much of the archery industry, that 3-D shooting will grow into a major professional sport. I realize that 3-D has been a booming part of the industry for the last five years and that thousands are attending shoots and vying for S30-S40.000 purses. This is great and I hope it continues and grows, but can any of the 3-D tour shooters say they can live off what they win? Even more important, does anyone realistically feel we ll ever see Pepsi or Coke sponsoring a Saturday television show about shooting at lifelike animals? I think not. I remember the difficulties encountered with procuring sponsors for regional events because of the word ■bowhunter* in the ‘Bowhunter's Challenge.' When the archery pioneers dreamed of a professional lour to rival golf, they were talking of major television network coverage, non Industry sponsors and large purses. Large in the respect that the first place winners would be taking home winnings of $100,000 and up. Purses large enough for the 20th place shooter

to survive on the tour while they paid their dues and improved their skills. Dennie Day didn't see his dream come to fruition and I don't know if any of us will, however from time to time bright spots do appear. The latest ray of hope appears to come from Dennie's sponsor with PSE’s incorporation of International Match Archery into their Desert Shoot Out. Combining today's electronic capabilities and current televising techniques with such a shoot, could produce a spectator sport to easily rival four barefooted guys banging a ball over a net on the beach But. it will only happen when the industry promotes it with the same aggressive methods they've used with bowhunting and 3-D shooting. Most importantly. the new sport must be promoted to the larger non-hunting portion of the world's population Now that I've reached the hall century mark in my life my only hope is that someday a friend won't need to write these very same words concerning an unrealized dream. When it's my turn to leave the earthly lield-of-play for competition archery. I hope we can say. "we recognized Dennie's dream and we fulfilled it. Dennis Carpenter. Seattle.

CHECKPOINTS FOR WINNING ARCHERY PART ONE By FREDDIE TRONCOSO

FORWARD

In order to successfully hit the center of the ten-ring repeatedly, one must perform with machinelike exactness and by perfect duplication of each and every shot. More realistically stated, we as archers must perform as exacting as ‘being human" will permit.

SHOOTING FORM FORM is a series of coordinated actions that are integrated with one another in perfect timing to effect the proper execution of the shot. The act of shooting can thus be broken down into seven basic steps. These steps include: 1. THE STANCE (BELOW) 2. NOCKING THE ARROW 3. PRE-DRAW

In an effort to help those who sincerely wish to improve, a very thorough and analytical study will be chronologically presented for the benefit of those who wish to better their shooting. This noteworthy improvement series will deal with the seven basic elements of shooting FORM with concentrated emphasis on shooting

techniques and the interplay of related shooting equipment. By analyzing and trying some of these checkpoints and suggestions, we can continue our "Quest for Improvement" and accomplish our goal of regaining our coveted position as recognized World Leaders with regards to shooting ability and winning accomplishments.

4. THE DRAW AND ANCHOR 5. AIMING AND HOLDING 6. RELEASING THE BOWSTRING 7. FOLLOW-THROUGH While it is known that previous mention has been made with regards to corrective suggestions for shooting properly, emphatic emphasis will be placed on the most important requirements of shooting

FORM. This leaves only the act of nocking of the arrow as a choice of method or elective left to the individual. Good sound shooting FORM requires strict adherence to basic outlines and conformity of accepted standards and techniques. Good shooting FORM can be learned providing archers are willing to pay attention to detail and practice objectively.

NOVEMBER - DECEMBER 1993

STEP I - STANCE (SEE PREVIOUS PAGE) Stance- In our chosen sport of target archery, the archer is required to toe the line with his feel parallel with the shooting line. This places both feet 90 degrees from the flight line of the arrow and simultaneously serves to physically limit the 'SWING TO THE LEFT' of the bow arm upon release. Standing and addressing the target accordingly enhances and improves follow-through and accuracy. A very slight open stance is permissible. STEP II - NOCKING THE ARROW Nocking - Your choice of method. STEP III - CORRECT PRE-DRAW TECHNIQUE The pre-draw phase of shooting is, in actuality, a brief pre-aim/pre-draw period that precedes the actual drawing of the bowstring. To accomplish the pre-draw correctly, the bow hand and drawing arm must be held on the same line or plane as the aiming eye to target. As the archer pre draws, he appears to be momentarily pre aiming, but does so without physically starting to draw or pull the bow. According to coach Park of Korea, the arrow is nocked, the fingers are placed onto the bowstring, and the bow arm is simply raised up from the side which leads to the correct alignment of the pre-draw arm position in relation to the line of sight and flight path of the arrow. This application also places the bow arm shoulder in a relaxed and natural position. As a rule, most good shooters will place the bow sight

in the vicinity of the target center or slightly above making sure that the drawing hand is held slightly higher than the bow hand. Most important is that the bow arm and drawing hands are in perfect alignment to the flight path of the arrow and that the bowstring is drawn straight back along sideline as the bow is drawn and pulled.

CHECK POINT #1 Finger Placement and Spacer Tabs Realizing that the act of pre-draw or drawing the bow requires the archer to place his three fingers on t h e bowstring, we will discuss the effect and importance CORRECT FINGER PLACEMENT

fingers and the placement onto the string. The most prevalent down side of the Mediterranean or three finger release is that the middle finger is longer than the index and ring fingers and that the bowstring forms a sharp angle when pulled to full draw position. These two factions apply considerable tension on the string fingers causing the middle finger to bend more around the bowstring as compared to the other two fingers. Due to the greater hooking and strength of the middle finger, the bowstring lags on the middle finger as the release occurs causing plucking and displaced errant arrows. In order to improve one's release, it is imperative to pay attention to finger placement onto the bowstring. The archer should make a conscious effort to hold

the middle finger back as the fingers are placed onto the bowstring. All three finger tips should be kept flush and even if possible. If the string is allowed to climb or rest back too far on the middle finger, a slow uneven release will result. A sharp clean release is preferred and accomplished by keeping the tips of the drawing fingers even. However, the back part of the drawing hand should be kept straight and relaxed. In a further effort to improve one's release, additional attention should be given to the elimination of pinching of the nock end of the arrow between the index and middle fingers. Pinching of the arrow adversely causes the arrow shaft to bend excessively along a vertical plane prior to release. Said bending induces additional vertical vibrations to the arrow shaft which severely affect true flight and accuracy while shooting. To remedy this malady, most archers worldwide use a spacer equipped tab which features a separator or wedge designed to keep apart the index and middle fingers. An interesting note reveals that most winning archers at the 1992 Olympics used some type of "Kant-Pinch" or spacer tabs as is documented on the Barcelona *92 Olympic Games' video available from NAA. One observation that I would personally like to mention, is that several of our top release shooters are laying down their compound bows and releases and are switching over to recurve bows and recurve shooting in hopes of making the U.S Archery Team for 1996. This occurrence should prove very interesting as most world class release shooters KNOW HOW TO AIM and fully realize the importance of diligent AIMING AND FOLLOW THROUGH. With the selection of Atlanta, Georgia, as the Olympic Games site for 1996, don't be surprised if we see more and more release shooters switch over to recurves and fingers. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

INTERMEDIATE TRAINING &

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM By HARDY WARD SHOOTING IS DYNAMIC NOT STATIC

5 METERS Classic T-Form, square stance, the only form that is immediately perpendicular to the target. Warm up with shooting exercise 1 and 2. balance and expansion exercises. 12 arrows each. 1. Learn to let the drawing hand be still or quietly waiting at the anchor point position, the release occurs softly at the anchor position, it is still, it does not explode. 12 arrows. 2. Learn to let the drawn forces transfer into the relaxing drawing shoulder so this shoulder contracts upward into the base of the neck, becoming shorter, expansion occurs. 12 arrows. A contracting shoulder gathers up becoming shorter while also pulling the shirt upward, the shoulder not the drawing arm. 3. As the drawing shoulder relaxes it's contraction begins to execute expansion of the drawn forces held, learn to let the back of the elbow move straight back naturally by following the contracting shoulder, applying additional force to do so is not required since this will only jam the shoulder. During this transferring stage of expansion the anchor point position and the drawing shoulder will close, moving or sliding upward and together into the neck. Flexibility or agility is a must, relax! 12 arrows. 4. Learn to let the drawn forces transfer into the back once expansion is in motion, be flexible

with the Whole Form. The chest cavity will lift or move forward from the back as the forces transfer into the back, deep expansion, the held forces become elastic. 12 arrows. 5. Expansion is induced throughout the Whole Form and begins immediately when the drawing shoulder is relaxed correctly. Do not allow the fingers or drawing arm to stretch when relaxing they must be still and waiting quietly, endurance is required here. Fatigue or lack of attention to this allows energy to be lost. 12 arrows. 6. Now learn to put it all together with the correct sequence of coordination, 12 arrows. Have the clicker position adjusted for you by a second party who is able to observe the sequence of form in motion. Consistency is important along with rate of the cycling sequence, timing. 7. REPEAT, REPEAT. REPEAT, 1-5. Practice here with and without a target. Become a biomechanical machine. Step number 2 is the most difficult tor most to acquire. Shooting will not become easy or effortless until this stage is conditioned and developed. Words to avoid since they create the wrong influences with aoolied efforts push, pull, or extend. In most cases this is not an expansion but rather an end to end effort from the outside CONTINUED ON PAGE 3TB

As in the years past, the team competition was once again a close one. For the third time in the tour years National PAL has offered a national archery competition, Armada, Michigan, captured the best overall trophy. Brewer. Maine PAL came in a close second, while Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, rounded out the top three. Congratulations to all those teams that competed. Again the tournament set record numbers for attendees and spectators. As the archery program continues to swell with momentum across the country from year to year, so do the numbers of archers who attend the national competition. "National PAL plans Io continue to offer great opportunities for local PALs with an interest in beginning or expanding youth archery programs. With the generous assistance from organizations like Safari Club International, the American Archery Council and International Bowhunling Organization, National PAL can continue to offer unique and educational programs in archery and wildlife conservation in archery and wildlife conservation," stated National PAL Program Coordinator, Tina Lux. National PAL would like to offer a special thanks to George Helwig of the Junior Olympic Archery Development program, Lloyd Brown of Easton Sports, who volunteers his time each year to act as Director of Tournament Shooting, and Hector Tavarez of Egg Harbor, New Jersey, the National PAL Archery chairman. Our appreciation to all those PAL coaches who work hard at creating interest and enthusiasm in archery.

KIM ZEHR AND BURLEY HALL SHOOT PERFECT 200 ON THE WAY TO IBO WORLD TITLES By ARLYNE RHODE

FEMALE COMPOUND AIDED CHAMPION KATHY SMITH

The 1993 IBO World Championships attracted over 5.000 competitors to Eagle Creek State Park in Shelbyville. Illinois, on August 1315. Some came for the camaraderie and shot a for a trophy and others came to win a title and/ or money The peewees had a tournament of their own right on the front lawn of Eagle Creek. IBO President Ken Watkins and his staff made sure everyone in that group went home a winner. Four archery clubs (Montgomery County Bowhunters, Effingham County Bowbenders. Lerna-Year’ Round Archery and Prairieland Archery Club) joined forces under the leadership of President Ken Watkins and IBO State Representative Curtis Connely. Illinois Governor Jim Edgar proclaimed the event ’The start of Illinois Archery Week’ with Wolf Creek and Eagle Creek State Parks finely manicured under the guidance of Richard Glazebrook At the end of three days, over 5.000 archers had shot, scores were tabulated, S77.000 in cash was given out, $45,000 in Hocking College Scholarships were presented and over 55,000 people had come through the Wolf Creek and Eagle Creek State Parks. Every archer vying for a title must qualify in a previous event by placing in the lop twenty in order to shoot the World. The first two day's scores qualified you for the final day if you were one of the top five scorers for your class Sunday morning the top five started from scratch to select the new Worid Champion on twenty more McKenzie 3-D animal targets. In addition to the championships, manufacturers, dealers, distributors and retailers made this one of the largest exhibit areas any IBO event has ever had. Due to the lack of parking space near the exhibits some archers didn't get into that area by the Inn. Even though that was the case, Jack Finch of Sky Archery said, ’The people are excellent and wonderful to work with. We have found the response to our products and the traffic outstanding We are seeing more people come back to the recurve and longbow market even

though it is a small part of the market.' Next to Sky Archery was McPherson Archery. Jack Lyons, another veteran in the archery business had these comments. ’They need a committee to run a meet of this magnitude to be more efficient. If this is a Worid, there should not be a trophy shoot but it sure is nice to bring the whole family to shoot.’ Darrell Dixon of Dixon Archery, a seasoned competitor turned businessman, has started doing the show circuit with his archery products. He told me it was just too hot to shoot or work and he just wanted to go fishing. Another seasoned competitor and also a seasoned businessman, Don Chipman of Specialty Archery, had nothing but praise for the event and the volunteers. ’It was a very big undertaking by these four clubs in central Illinois. I don't think anyone expected the great turnout Only about 800 of the 5,000 plus competitors got over into the exhibit area.’ ’It was very successful but much was to be learned on how to handle this many competitors. Actually the number of archers was a bit overwhelming but everyone put forward their best effort with an outstanding attitude.’ Bill Scott of Scott Archery commented. ’I've never seen so many archers before in one place. There is great potential here. With an event of this size it is easy to miss some of the activities and we were pleased to see the seminars advertised better on Saturday' Mark Solberg and Jerry Podratz with Swanmar were real impressed with the TV coverage. Jerry said. ‘The clubs and volunteer help are doing their best and now it is time to get paid help. This is the fastest growing group If it is kept clean, positive, and attractive to everyone, it will continue to grow. It is a wonderful way to educate youngsters on ethics and sportsmanship.’ I did find one relatively newcomer to the exhibitors ranks. Jeff Darlington of Darton Archery. He said, ’This is my first World meet and it is fantastic. I have been in the Navy for the past six years and I love this.” ’I've seen more women and children here

than ever before. It may be because we have a short draw Darton bow which is really great ' Jeff McNail of Beman Archery from Traverse City, Michigan, who is pleased with the event said. ’Next year we could use some air conditioning,’ said Jeff. (That probably is in the plans for 1994). ’This looks real good for dealers and manufacturers because the archer has a wide selection of equipment. This market is really on a roll and good for everyone.' ”1 think the area is a little too large for all the archers to get to the exhibits but when you have to accommodate this many it causes problems We are glad to be here and get the exposure ’ Clyde Hartsell of Archery Promotions was impressed by the beautiful Inn at Eagle Creek where as many of us stayed who could check in. Others traveled as much as fifty miles to adjoining towns for adequate motels. He said. "I have run tournaments with 500 shooters and I can’t imagine what it would be like to have 5,000 archers. The staff is overworked but no matter how much you plan. this many people wouldn't have been expected. Maybe next year they need pre-registration.' Steve Kaufman with Golden Key-Futura says he is seeing growth in women and kids participation and this isn't reflected in hunting licenses. He commented, “This event benefits the sport of bowhunting. It makes the hunter more proficient. He becomes more conscious of the vitals in a big game animal and that will make him a better hunter. Besides 3-D archery makes it less seasonal and more hunting products are sold.' I was able to catch up with one energetic exhibitor, she is Shirley Strickland who not only worked the booth but participated also. Shirley said, ’I really enjoy shooting IBO because I find it the most challenging. I didn’t like the dangerous terrain and witnessed several falls. Some of the ladies lost their arrows the first day due to the long distances. Today was better.' 'What the IBO needs is a committee that goes from one Worid to the next who can correct and see possible problems because they have

A total of S305.855.00 was given out in cash and merchandise over the seven events held across the U.S. All this was made possible under the direction of ASA President Wayne Pearson and his staff. I spoke to Kelley of Loggy Bayou and he was very happy with promotion of their product through the ASA. Kelley said, "We have worked with Wayne Pearson for two or three years in the video area. We feel the ASA has helped us have one of our best years ever." "Our philosophy is that the tournament or traveling archer is sort of a 'guru' from his local. If he has a chance to use our Loggy Bayou Treestand, see how stable, and dependable it is. he will go back to his community and tell his friends, the hunters." "We put a total of S11,000 up for the archers to shoot for S1.000 at each regional and then 55.000 to the Overall High Score. We were very pleased to participate in the ASA Championships."

Finishing with her studies, pretty Michelle Ragsdale was now able to focus all her attention on her shooting skills and came back to the Big Sky to make this her fourth win and setting a record for the number of times a woman has accomplished this in the freestyle unlimited division. When I had called PSE's Don Vallee to inquire about bonus monies for PSE shooters, I made the comment that "You know. Michelle is going to win!" to which he replied. "But of course she is!" Did we both know prematurely? Heck yes. we did! However, spouse Terry is another matter, his near-wins throughout the years have sort of been a burr under Terry's collar. Perhaps due to a once bad shootoff, Terry has had a lime breaking the spell he may have been cast into and has prevented him from winning the Big Sky Open, which to date has been the only tournament he has never won. When Terry was interviewed by the local news media during the competition, he told of his fate with the Big Sky Open and asked why. he replied, "I'm not sure ... just maybe the pressure of this tournament and the tact that I would just like to win this one." There will be a year, I predict, that Terry Ragsdale will file the Big Sky Open among his other first place titles. Just hang in there, Terry! The first day of the tournament Michelle shot a pretty 291 on the black and white hunter targets; just 8 points ahead of her closest competition, Paula Weissend (VA) and only 5 points under her hubby, Terry, and Dee Wilde (ID), who had tied the first day's scoring. "Little Girl wonder", teenager Inga Low, who has gone each year from an amateur, to the open, and now to professional, tied Paula with a 283. This was as high as the ladies shot during the first day of scoring in any division. But as usual, all the men were quite tight in their scores and those who started on top, remained that way throughout. II there was an exception, this would be the place to record it. but in checking the scores, there wasn't anything

unusual going on. Oh. but wait! There was something unusual happening! Ben Rogers. loyal Ben Rogers, who has graced the Big Sky for many years with his support and participation was pacing Jon Norman of Colorado with a 1 point deficit in the mens bowhunter freestyle division. The reason I am bringing this up is because Ben has entered the Big Sky so many times in so many ways and when he won the team event last year, he came up to me and said, "You know, Tootie, this is the first time I have ever gotten my picture taken at the Big Sky Open," You just have to appreciate someone ol this nature who feels this was important to him and then you find yourself silently cheering him on to win - sometime! The 1993 Big Sky Open was sponsored by Wayne Carlton's Calls & Huntin' Sluff and Budweiser. We found it to be an honor for Wayne Carlton and Budweiser Representatives. Mike Cadez and Dean Gribble to be present at the Saturday evening dinner held at the Hilton. Wayne Carlton thoroughly entertained everyone with his own exclusive style of humor while he showed how his "predator-calling" products performed It was certainly an evening like no other at the Big Sky Open. The final test for everyone shooting this tournament began at 7:00 am Sunday morning when tired eyes rested upon the NFAA black and white targets called the "Expert Round." We shall see if this is what they all could call themselves after it was all over. Some may have felt like experts; and then again, veterans of the sport may have felt like firsl-year novices. Now is the time to tell you that this was really a perfect Big Sky Open, weather-wise. There was very little wind to contend with - no burning 100 degree sunshine - truly, the weekend weather could not have been better. Although Grand Junction recorded a low of 42 degrees and caused people to drag out their long-johns, the shooting weather couldn't have been better. So a high degree of focus on the targets and a

Ben Rogers and Tammy Fontenot; and Bill Pellegrino. They’re the champions in their respective division In the men flights (from one to five) it was Reo Wilde. Rick Rallison, Jerry Carter & Doug Petty (tied). Glen Stone and Dan Hillsten. In the women’s flights (one and two) it was Danette Clark and Becky Metzler. Reigning over all the amateurs was Doug Schanel and Connme Kolb. Featured for the team event was the Big Sky Open "Goforit Clay Pigeon Shoot" which started on Friday evening and ended on Sunday afternoon. The scores were a bit higher than last year which indicates the participating archers were either practicing during the year. or they just got smarter. Jeff Button tied Randy Brabec's all high of a 48 on one round, but Tom Crowe was the hero with a clean 50 on Sunday. This is the only clean score shot on any round in the history of the Big Sky Open's 19 years1 Third highest score shot was by Stewart Bowman who posted a 46 on a single round. Sponsor Wayne Carton's Calls Team consisting of Myron Peters and John Vozzy placed second while Dee Wilde and Scott Triplett won first.

Third in this division was Jeff Button and Mark Natale Randy Holland and Richard Johnson teamed together through a draw and won first while Budd Rose and Steve Gibbs placed second in the FSL portion of the event. Bowhunters Mike Piontowski and Jon Norman won first in this division while Lyle Prell and Duane Pinckard placed second. This is really a great shooting event enjoyed by all those who have participated. A little frustrating though, I might add. when your arrow’s touching the clay pigeon and it doesn't break! By the way, Tom Crowe shot that clean score through a lot of pressure and heckling from anyone who could give him a bad time. But he kept his cool and knew that he wouldn't win S500.000 for a clean score - so he shot it anyway! Saturday’s "Budweiser Day Money" was won by bowhunter Jon Norman, and FS Dee Wilde for the men and Paula Weissend and Michelle for the women. Sunday was a tie between Dee. Terry and Tom Crowe, while Becky Pearson and Michelle shot highest half-scores for the women. John Vozzy didn’t share his day money with any of the men, he was able to record his own high half-score. Well, the tournament is over and even though Michelle has now won (he Big Sky for the fourth lime, a feat not done by any other women in her division, Carolyn Griffith still holds the all time high with seven straight wins. Dahrl Suttner has won the women's FSL division for four straight years in a row. Dee Wilde is the first male FS archer to win the Big Sky Open in two consecutive years.

of winning this tournament a piece. Our hats are off to the ladies ... they were the first at the Big Sky to have a shootoff in the championship division and the first to keep winning one year following another. Very impressive for any tournament, any time, not just the Big Sky. (Take into consideration - their equipment and physique is not comparable to the men). And. Michelle Ragsdale placed seventh overall high score recorded in the competition. What a lady! What an archer! And so the year, the tournament, and the story goes! Thanks again to our sponsors: Wayne Carltons Calls & Huntin' Stuff, and Budweiser for their interest, help and support. And thanks also to our Cosponsors: PSE, Kudlacek's Archery, the G. J. Hilton, Avco Financial Services, Golden Key-Futura Archery Products, Jake’s High Country Archery, and the U.S. ARCHER Magazine. Your help and support is greatly appreciated. And thanks to all those who took time to participate in this event - you are greatly appreciated as well. With a little bit of luck and if the creek don't rise and we can find someone interested enough to help us with this prestigious event, we might be able to hold this again next year. In the meantime - keep in focus! Footnote: The Big Sky Open is an NFAA Pro sanctioned tournament as well as sanctioned with the PAA. Archers who placed in this tournament received point standings toward their ranking for 1993 which determines who the top archers are in the US. in both organizations. RESULTS ON THE NEXT PAGE

IBO ARIZONA BOWHUNTER

HAPPENING '93 Arizona Bowhunters Association's ■BOWHUNTER HAPPENING" once again proves that archery is a family sport. On July 16th, 17th & 18th, the Arizona Bowhunters Association put on it's 14th Annual “Bowhunter Happening" Sponsored by Easton Aluminum. The event, known as the largest of it's kind is held every July, in the tall pines of a little community thirty live miles south east of Flagstaff The population of the town of Mormon Lake for this one weekend swells from a few hundred to well over 15,000. Whole families travel from every city and town in Arizona, and most of the neighboring states to attend this 3-D tournament and play in the cool high country of our state Almost every archery manufacturer is represented under the Big Top Tent. The tent is lhe central gathering place for the event Dealer's booths, food vendors, seminars. AZ Game & Fish. Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and a host of others to entertain and amaze young and old alike Saturday nights entertainment included an Elk and Turkey calling contest, awards from the Arizona Record Book Committee, the IBO competition awards and guest speakers The tournament itself is actually two events in one. For the serious competitor there is an IBO qualifier. A 40 McKenzie target competition Dave Duckwiler and I tried our best to provide the most challenging and fun competition courses we could. From some of the comments we received after the event. I feel we succeeded For those that want to have more fun and compete among their circle of friends, there were five courses of 20 3-0 targets to shoot. We had some of the top IBO competitors in the country attend this years event Randy and Rusty Ulmer. John Sielcki. David Stepp Jr.. Drew Crofts. Clint Christenson and Doug White to name a few. We had two hundred twenty-eight IBO competitors covering all age groups and almost every style of shooting from traditional to freestyle. On the noncompetitive courses we recorded eighteen hundred and twenty two mom's and pop's and kids of all ages out for a weekend of fun. archery and fellowship. This event has grown larger every year and promises to continue to do so As long as our archery families continue to want this type entertainment, the Arizona Bowhunter's Association will continue to provide a safe and fun environment where families can be together and play and enjoy what god has given us. We hope to see you in July of 1994. Keep up the good work US ARCHER Van Hartline. Past Chairman Arizona Bowhuniers Associalion

NEW PRODUCTS JENNINGS CARBON XLRS™ WHEN QUALITY IS MOST IMPORTANT

GAINESVILLE, FL - When you are ready to purchase a finely machined, high quality bow, you owe it to yourself to discover what Tom Jennings' Carbon XLRS can do for you The Jennings' design team worked for years to perfect the XLRS and its machined handle They set their sights on a bow with unparalleled features like these: • a unique customized balance weight system: The 6061-T6 aluminum handle is drilled and tapped so that shooters can add balance weights as they choose, either above or below the grip. This unique system is found on no other bow! (Dll, pend I • an integral quiver mounting system: The handle is designed to accept a new. rock solid quiver mounting system ■an extended sight window and a narrow, torque-reducing shooter s keel smoothly radiused tor comfort in the hand; and • self-aligning limb pivot nuts fixed in place with brass-tipped gib screws so you will never lose an ounce of poundage to excess bow system energy. The Carbon XLRS is endorsed by television personality and Archery Shooter's Association founder Wayne Pearson who has said. ‘The Carbon XLRS is the best bow I've ever used: smooth, quiet and forgiving ' Tom Jennings' machined handle Carbon XLRS is available with either Machined Wheels or the Extreme Cam.

HIT HARD, HIT FAST WITH THE STRIKER

BEAR ARCHERY PROUDLY INTRODUCES THE FIRST STRIKE XL/XLR BOWS

Archery's First Strike bow established a reputation for hard-hitting performance. This year, Bear Archery has taken a good thing and made it even better. The 1993 First Strike XL (straight limbs) and the First Strike XLR (recurve limbs) are upgraded versions of last year's popular First Strike. To make a fine bow even more exceptional, Bear engineers designed a new long-powerstroke handle called the Pertormance+. This handle has a longer sight window, and the arrow rest mounts directly above the grip pressure point, reducing torque. In addition, Bear now offers the bow with both straight and recurve compression-molded carbon/fiberglass limbs. These limbs have cycled in the laboratory more than one million times. While the new Bear Strike! cam delivers speed and smooth take-off for your arrows, the unique MicroTune Yoke system lets you make timing adjustments on-the-spot without a bow compressor. The yoke's machined 6061-T6 aluminum frame eliminates anchor cable limb torque by evenly distributing loading on either side of the cam. Consequently, perfect alignment is maintained between the limb time travel plane and the string travel plane. Other features of the First Strike XUXLR include: - Spectra 1000 bowstring for increased arrow speed - Posl-Lock cable guard - Draw length modules for easy adjustments - Riser set screws maintain consistent draw weight For information contact Rick Sapp Bear Archery. 4600 SW 41 Blvd . Dept USA Gainesville, FL 32608-4999. Phone (9041376' 2327 ext. 225, Fax (904)376-6115 ’

Fort Smith, Arkansas - For archers demanding speed. Pearson Archery presents the STRIKER. The hot new Striker, one of Pearson's fastest, delivers incredible speed yet still offers comfortable drawing characteristics. Il is one ol the few bows offering this exceptional combination. The Stnker features a newly designed riser constructed of AL-MAG 35. Al-Mag 35 is a new vibration absorbing material that reduces the arm shock and noise commonly associated with the high speed bows of today. This torque balanced reflex riser brings the string's power stroke in line with the grip's pivot point for elimination of handle torque and a reduction in string slap. This riser was designed with an additional two inches of speed generating power stroke over conventional riser designs. The Striker boasts 15 1/2 inch epoxy glass limbs. These limbs are recognized as the most durable high performance straight limbs in the industry. Other features include 65 percent let off. EPS cams and a two piece pistol style laminated wood grip. The Striker has a 40-inch axle to axle measurement. It is available in Autumn ATC camo and Mossy Oak Treestand camo. Available in 27 thru 32" draw length and 50, 60. 70 and 80 pounds. With the introduction of the Striker. Pearson proves that the ultimate in performance can be

comfortable. Pearson Archery is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Sierra Corporation. In Canada the Striker is available through Sierra Canada LTD., 6934 Kinsmen Court Unit 3, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada L2E 6S5 or call (416)358-2941. For more information write Pearson Archery, P.

B & L Enterprises presents an all new approach to 3-D bow sights The Arrow-space X-Sight has been designed for rugged use on the 3-D course. The complete mechanism is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum bar stock. Adjustment for elevation is simple with a spring loaded plunger and thumb nut. The sight will not move or vibrate loose with intensive shooting. Windage is set by loosening a thumb nut and turning the sight reticle in or out then relocking the thumb nut. A frosted mylar material is adhesively bonded to the sight tower to provide an erasable surface for sight markings. Two mounting systems are available, one is a fixed mount with two screws directly Io the bow riser, and the other is a dovetail bar which will fit any AMO standard mounting block. The standard sight reticle is a crosshair mounted in an aluminum tube with no bubble level. A crosshair reticle with a bubble level is also available. The internal surface of the tube is flat black to reduce glare and the center section of the crosshairs are painted with a luminous paint for low light sighting. B&L Enterpnses also provides custom sight repair and modification for the hunter and targel archer.

B&L Enterprises has developed a unique cable guard slide. Our slide will protect your Fast Flite harness system from abrasion, increase your arrow speed over other slides on the market, and reduce bow noise. Our slide is extremely light in weight, has a very low coefficient of friction due to the material, and will provide cable protection long after others have worn out. Our slides are available for 5/ 16* rods, 3/8* rods, and in black, white, and black & white. These slides are nearly indestructible in normal use as long as the instructions packaged with them are followed. For information contact B&L Enterprises. 6545 E. Rustic Dr., Dept. USA, Mesa.

READY-TO-SHOOT ARROW FOR CAMPS AND SCHOOLS

BEMAN'S CLUB ARROW IS TOUGH ENOUGH FOR KIDS Traverse City, Michigan ■ Beman has announced the North Amencan release of their new Club arrow for camps, recreational clubs. and school athletic programs Made with the same carbon fiber technology used in all of Beman's arrows, the Club is noted for its resilience to stress. The Club is made to withstand all kinds of abuse according to Beman's product engineer, Don Dowker. who says that the Club, unlike aluminum arrows, won't get bent. Club arrows offer several other advantages to the beginning archer. They are designed to be especially compatible with small take down, recurve, and compound bows with draw weights up to 35 pounds Accuracy is increased with the flatter trajectory and the carbon shaft dampsout vibrations for greater flight stability The new Club arrows for children and adults are clearly marked in five sizes: 26* Junior. 17" Exira Light; 29" Light' 30* Medium: and 31* Strong Beman's Club arrows are delivered ready to shoot. Each arrow comes complete with securely attached nocks, target points, and durable vanes For information contact Don Dowker at (616)943-8864. Beman Archery Corp., 3682 Rennie School Rd.. Depl USA.

penetrate it's ferrule body! As you can imagine. this provides for some fantastic advantages over other traditional hunting heads. For one, the use of the Yellow Jacket broadhead is held to the arrow shalt with a ferrule pass through tip resembling a field point. This means that if the tip encounters an abrupt stop, it will transfer the force of the impact to the arrow shaft insert and not to the broadhead ferrule. This provides for a more durable hunting head. Third, the installed broadhead can be locked down in an infinite number of positions for it rotates freely about the arrow shah end until tightened. This means easy alignment with vanes and/or providing for bow clearance. No more heating and rotating the arrow insert! No more assembled hunting arrows that can't be broken down for transport! The Yellow Jacket is as alignable on one shaft as another. Fourth, the Yellow Jacket broadhead repeats arrow balances as found with your practice arrows with an attached held point for it does not increase the arrow's overall length when used. This means the arrow's spine will not be affected by the introduction of the broadhead, resulting in Repeatable Accuracy when changing from field tips to broadheads. Patent Pending/Made in the USA.

THE MEDICINE STONE SERIES PRESENTS THE MUELLER ACCURATE This is the very newest trom Hansell Sights. Just to say it works well does not even start to describe this sight We find it to be very enjoyable to use and very easy to set up on a bow. The Mueller Accurate is what you would expect from the people at Hansell Sights. This sight is smooth as silk yet. because it's part of the Medicine Stone Modular system you know it is strong. They machine everything from only the best materials available We love their clicks on both elevation and windage motions and find that the clicks are constant and predictable; allowing for the ability to count the extension rod that allows the archer to set the sight as far away or as close as desired for ones own vision requirements With the relocator block on the sight it is possible to remove this sight and put it back on the bow with no loss of location, and it really works' We can see why they are so excited at Hansell Sights. It's a beautiful sight. For information contact Hansell Sights, Box 227, Dept. USA, Madsen, Ontario, DOV 2C0, Canada. Phone (807)749-2152. Fax (807)749-2152. SEE HANSELL AD ON PAGE 357

BOWSTRING MANUFACTURER INTRODUCES NEW SERVING MATERIAL

From BCY. Inc. Fibers Division comes a new end serving material. No 2 STREAMLINE. It is a 3-ply construction produced from Dyneema yarn having a breaking strength of approximately 60 pounds.

It is currently offered in black and blue on 120 yard jig spools and approximately 1 -pound king spools. It is slightly smaller in diameter than the 2ply products currently available which allows it to fit snugly into the cam groove of compound bows.
