Test fire a Mathews MQ1 Shoot this bow against any other bow in the world... It’ll blow your- mind!
‘You won’t believe it!”
Nock point travel that's as straight as an arrow! StraightLine MaxCam" bows have the straightest nock point travel of any bow.
Perimeter weighted single-cam bows are the most efficient "... this is the highest level of dynamic efficiency [the energy we get out of the bow divided by the energy put into the bow] I have found for any bow that I have tested...”"
StraightLine MaxCam" The StraightLine MaxCarn" has the silken responsiveness of a fine fly rod. From the moment you draw it to the instant the arrow leaves the string, you feel one sensation - smoooooth. In fact, it is so smooth that it’s hard to believe how fast it launches the arrow. Without a doubt, this is the most advanced cam in the world.

The Zen of Winning. That unique ability to shut out everything else and perform above the
normal standard. For Justin Huish, 1996 Olympic Gold Medalist, it comes from personal confi dence. The same kind of confidence you feel when you hold the newly designed Avalon Plus.
Its lighter, stronger and more accurately balanced design allows it to become a virtual extension of you. Same is true of the new Elan with its precision-machined riser and Avalon grip. Try either
the new Avalon Plus or the Elan. Both bows can make it possible for you to truly find your center.

Archers Who Care *ocX£[
By Jim Schultz 16144 E. Palisades Blvd. • Fountain Hills, AZ 85268 USA • Phone (602)837-3119
In the Good Old Summer Time ... In the Good Old Summer Time ... Summer camps are just about over and the children arc getting ready to go back to school. The kids that were at the Arizona Bum and Trauma Camp had the best time of their lives. As usual. Archers Who Care archery program was the hit of the camp. Okay, maybe archery came in second losing to a pan full of 4 inch round, warm. soft homemade cinnamon rolls. I mean the cook had an unfair advantage! The Bum Camp had some really neat archers. Cliff, a 17 year old boy from Texas told how he was able to come to camp. His mother found out about the camp over the internet and asked Cliff if he would like to goon vacation. Cliff said he'd “love to go on vacation." His mom said. "Then you’re going to Arizona." Cliff said. "That's neat," then his mom told him it was a burn camp. Cliff thought that was "great.” At the airport, one of the Phoenix Firefighters met Cliff and took him home to spend the night with his family. At camp. Cliff took to archery because he used to bowhunt Texas whitetail with his compound. At first, it was hard for Cliff to pull back the 15 pound PSE bow but the more his skin loosened up. the better (less pain) Cliff experienced. By the end of the second day. Cliff was pulling a 25 pound bow and having a blast. So much so that we asked him to help teach other children. What can 1 tell you ... we put him to work and he enjoyed every minute of it. Cliff was needed — helping other children in a sport that he loved and shared his knowledge with his fellow campers. Cliff tells me he will be back next year, but will probably drive himself out so he can stop along the way and do some sight seeing. Cliff was burned while working on a pickup truck that caught on fire. “At first my parents had a tough time dealing with it... the scar tissue and all, but they have adjusted and are better about it now.”
A Special Thank You to Maple Leaf Targets for their continued support. SEE YOU NEXT YEAR. JIM AND JOYCE SCHULTZ

U.S. Takes Six Medals at 1998 Junior World Championships Article and Photos by Preston Heller
The U.S. Junior World Team
From July 22-26, F1TA held the 5th Junior World Championships in Sunnc, Sweden. The Swedish summer provided the record breaking two hundred fifty plus archers and coaches with a wide variety of weather conditions ranging from near perfect sunny days to steady rain, to gusting wind. The venue was absolutely beautiful, set next to a large lake and surrounded by wooded rolling countryside. Flags from the thirty-nine countries in attendance lined the far side of the field. The first day, a huge parade of athletes and coaches marched onto the
field for the opening ceremonies, and all
present were treated to spirited dance routines by a group of very talented young Swedish dancers. A bilingual commentator provided a constant flow of information to the archers and spectators throughout the tournament and in particular, special thanks is due to the runners, who did a fantastic job of collecting the results so that all the
spectators could be kept up to date by watching the electronic scoreboard. Also noteworthy is the fact that F1TA posted to the Internet almost as quickly as they were official. Several times when 1 called home

my family knew the results before I cot. I tell them. Congratulations to the organize and helpers who made this event possibl. It was truly world class in every respect and clearly the result of hundreds of hour' of diligent planning and preparation. The format for the event was different from this year’s U.S. National Target Championship in that the FITA round was used as a qualifier, a ranking round to cut and seed the archers for the Championship. which was later determined by Olympic round shooting. This led to a very exciting event, with additional pressure and drama in the final few rounds of each division. (The U.S. National Champion was determined by the two FITA rounds, while the Olympic Round on Friday determined the U.S. Open Champion.) The U.S. teams performed well in Sweden. In a field of eighty-eight recurve archers. Junior Sizemore and Brad Fiala. placed 15th and 16th. respectively. Rounding out the U.S. Men’s team were Mike Czech (38th) and Phillip Accctturo (49th).

Seavotto (46th), also had a good showing in a very tough field. Our compound teams continued to demonstrate their world class winning form, with Adam Wheatcroft taking the individual Gold and Walter Ruchnicwski the Bronze. Caleb Heller finished 7th and Nick Risinger placed 22nd. In addition, the Men’s team of Wheatcroft, Ruchnicwski and Heller took the Gold medal in the team round, while setting two F1TA world records! Ashley Kamuf took home the Women’s Gold and Mary Zom the Bronze. Christie Bisco finished 8th and Katelyn Kuchcnbrod was 12th. The women’s team of Kamuf, Zom, and Bisco completed the medal fest by taking home the Silver. These exceptional young men and women exhibited the highest level of sportsmanship while representing us in Sweden and twelve of the sixteen archers arc eligible to try for the team again in 2000. They were a joy to watch, especially during the team competition, where they cheered for and supported each other throughout the event.

Swanson our diligent team manager. These individuals worked tirelessly with the team members, (imagine having sixteen teenagers to take care of at one time!) providing invaluable help. One final note. The team round in Sweden might have been the most exciting shooting I have ever seen. In the U.S. it seems this event is treated in a more casual manner, as kind of a left over, fun type event. In contrast, at the Junior World Championship, it was treated with the same degree of seriousness afforded the individual event. I will relate one incident to illustrate my point. The U.S. Men’s compound team was heavily favored to meet Sweden (another excellent team) in the
Lloyd and Cindy 298
finals. During their semifinal match with Italy, the U.S. was up by only 2 points with one end to go. During this round, each of the three archers must shoot three arrows during an end. The team is allotted three minutes in which to do this. Walter Ruchniewski was the first U.S. shooter. He shot a 28 and used approximately one minute of the time. Next up was Caleb Heller. He shot well, but after holding at full draw on his third arrow, for what seemed like forever, he had to let down. Time became a factor. Caleb finished with a 30, but left Adam Wheatcroft with barely forty seconds to get off three good shots! In case you're not familiar with Olympic rounds, forty seconds is the amount of time
having lost any composure it might I e still had, yelled, “Shoot, shoot, she Nothing like a little pressure, eh? 1 noticed one gentleman muttering to him “Form and rhythm Adam, form rhythm." I looked around, but Tc > Wundcrle was nowhere to be seen. In meantime, Adam managed to get the t off. An instant after the arrow hits the la the timing buzzer sounded. We all wa J for the official call. It was a 10! 1 s excellent example of both individual 1 team efforts rendered the finals somewl I mention this one instance because 1 th it would be terrific if we could raise -■ level of the team event in the U.S > something more than a fun round. E t more on this another time. What follows is a partial listing of tl..results in each division. A complete list can be found at the NAA web site. www.USarchcry.org.

‘A LEGACY OF PERFECTION * Ior the T al archer the feel of wood is as much LT of a part of archery as is the smell of wood smoke
'
and new mown hay. To the Traditional
\
archer nothing compares to the exhilaration gained from drawing a
bow and watching the streak of
feathered shaft. It only adds a
sense of PRIDE to that Nick Risinger — *7 7/ be back ”
exhilaration if the bow is a SKY.
For almost 60 years Earl Hoyt Jr. has devoted his life's work in mastering the art and craft of the
manufacture of the long bow and the recurve. For the true archer there
can be no greater sense of PRIDE than that which comes from owning your own piece of archery
history, a SKY bow. Send $1.00 for new catalog. Order direct if no

International Field Archery Association News Submitted By Ken Rogers, President
Bowhunting Legends ... Syd Green Bowhunter, Field Archer & Administrator
By Eric Creighton, President Australian Bowhunter Assn. (ABA), Australian affiliate of the IFAA There would be few people throughout the world who have an involvement with archcry who do not know the name of Fred Bear and his contribution to our sport. Fred had a multiplicity of interests that ranged from the commercial to participation and administration, and these interests have ensured his rightful place in Syd Green the history of archery and bowhunting. However, there are many, many others out there who have immeasurably contributed to the development of our sport and whose achievements are not as well recognized due to the confinement of that effort to the development and administrative aspect of our sport. One such person, who has dedicated his life and in fact organized his life around field archery and bowhunting administration, is Syd Green. There would be few in the sport within Australia who do not know the name of Syd Green and recognize the fact that over the past 25 years there is no one person who has worked longer hours and achieved more for the sport, now and for the future, than this man. Syd is the Executive Director of the Australian Bowhunters Association. He was elected to the Presidency of ABA in 1981 and held that post continuously for the following 12 years. He has also served a term as President of the International Field Archery Association and continues to have an active input into that body. His efforts have been duly recognized by the awarding of the Sports Australia award of Administrator of the Year; Archer of the Year and, more

importantly. Life Membership of the Australian Bowhunters Association. It is the opinion of the writer that there is no person within the ranks of membership of the Australian Bowhunters Association. whether past or present, who deserves the recognition of "Life Membership" more than Syd Green. Syd has devoted much of his life, to the exclusion of all but the basic necessities outside the world of archery, to the furtherance of Australian archcry and bowhunting on the domestic and international front. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is through his work as both a doer and a motivator of others that this Association now finds itself in the position of excellence, in both the National and International arena in all aspects of our sport. Syd entered organized archery in 1977 when he joined the Grange Bowhunters. He was elected to the Executive of this Club in the following year as well as becoming a member of the Soutl Queensland Bowhunting Society of which he was electee President in the same year. Syd established Club representation on the Executive of the South Queensland Bowhunting Society and organized forma inter-club field archery competition. During the latter part of 1978 Syd joined the Australian Bowhunters Association and acccptce the invitation of this body to stage the 1979 National Barcbow Safari in South Queensland, with the support of Grange Bowhunters. At this Safari, Syd was appointed National VicePresident, Field Division of ABA. with subsequent election to that position at the 1979 annual general meeting of the Association With the support of all member clubs of the South Queensland Bowhunting Society, he dissolved the SQBS and established Zone D (covering the southern third of the State) of the ABA, of which he was elected Zone Controller. During his term as Vice-President Field ABA. Syd redesigned the ABA National Rules for Shoot which were adopted at the 1979AGMand produced a starters kit for the information of new Clubs. The 1980AGM of the Association saw Syd elected for his second term as Vice-President Field; to be followed in 1981 by his election to National President, a position he held continuously for the following 12 years. During Syd’s twelve years as National President he has achieved much for the Association and archcry in general. Following is a summary of his more noteworthy accompl ishments: in 1981 affiliated ABA with the International Field Archery Association; •prepared a successful submission to the Confederation of Australian Sport for membership of the Confederation; successfully petitioned the federal government to recognize the ABA field archery as a new and separate sport to archery as practiced by the Australian Archcry Association; led the first Australian team to the World Field Archery Championships in West Germany in 1982; •established standards of financial management within ABA, which has produced on going financial stability and security for the Association;

TheAfrica Regional Field Archery Championships StClair Lion Park, Gaborone, Botswana, 08-10 August 1998
ByLoet Smit
Botswana.a countryof 600000ktn2 (232000mi2) and a population ofsonie 1.4 million people, was the host of the 1998 Africa Regional Field Archery Championships. It was the first time that the event was hosted outside the Republic of South Africa. With the steady growth of the I FA A in Southern Africa, the event is steadily becoming one of the major archcry events in the region. When Botswana was awarded the bid to host the event, there some doubts whether they would be able to host such an event. The country has only some 20 registered archers with some of them living hundreds of kilometers away from the venue. There was no need to worry. Through the assistance of local commerce and the hard work of the archers who use the St Clair Lion Park as their home base, an excellent 28 target range with good quality butts was set out for the event. The range was set out in a manner that made maximum use of the vegetation and topography of the terrain. The African bush is known for its thorn bush and archers had to take care not to get stuck in them. 18 targets were set up in a dry river bed, consisting of rocky outcrops and very loose sand. This combination made the 3.5 km long track an enduring but very enjoyable range which took about six hours to complete. On 07 August most archers arrived for early registration and by 08:00 next morning some 65 archers from Botswana, Namibia and South Africa had registered for the event. Many of them used the camping facilities near the range and adjacent game lodges. Unfortunately the archers from Zambia and Zimbabwe could not make it, but I am sure they will attend the event next year. 308
Aftersomc early morning hiccups, which included the replacement of some pegs that were removed by baboons and the cleaning up of some butts that were used as public toilets by the same animals, the first round of the event, the Field Round, started at 0930 Targets 1 and 2 were on fairly level ground. However, targets 3 and 4 were in the river bed and already gave an indication of what was to come further down the range. From there on the range was fairly easy going with only the thorn bush to look out for. But things did change again from target 16, when it was back to the river bed again. Between targets 17 and 18 the archers had to cross the remainders of a dead Impala giving an added difficulty of aroma. The policy of the game park is to leave the park undisturbed and the remains of the impala were left where they were for full duration of the event. The loose sand in the river bed made going rather heavy and several stops had to be made to relieve shoes and boots of the extra weight and most archers were quite happy when target 28 was completed. Several Africa records were set and four existing Africa records were broken. The highlight undoubtedly being the new world record by Nicolette Charles who broke the long standing record of Joan Green in the AFFS(R) division. After this day the teams were selected for the event and four archers in the BU division were selected for each team. The Hunter Round was shot on the second day and due to proper seeding and planning the night before, the shoot started on time.... something that docs not happen often in Africa. The archers were now used to the layout of the range and knew where and how to conserve energy. As a result the scores improved for several of the competitors and again several Africa records were broken. No such luck with the world records however. The third day shoot was the Animal Round. Africa has theirown targets. Many of them arc quite small which means that a miss in the kill area often means a total miss. They are printed in black and white, which makes them difficult to aim at when situated
in partial shade. This, combined with the two days of hard walking probably explains the relatively low scores and many archers expressed their disappointment after the last arrow was shot. Nevertheless several Africa records were broken again and Leon Heydcnrcych became the third archer in Africa to equal the world record and perfect score in the AMBU division. The award ceremony started at 12:30 and was finished by 13:30 after which there were several photo sessions. It was the first time that three teams participated in the event and a special "warthog” trophy was donated by Botswana to commemorate the event. South Africa walked away with the honors, with Namibia second and Botswana third. The event was well organized and a lot of time was spend on detail. This included the detailed survey of the range with GPS instruments. Catering was available on the range from early in the morning to late in the afternoon, to be followed by enjoyable sessions at the bar on the Game farm. I would like to thank the owner of the game farm. Mr. Jimmy Kannemcycr. forhis support and input in the catering during the event. Bruce and Maggi Brislin, IFA A archers since the early eighties, did a tremendous job in organizing the event and setting out the range. Tom Kaiser was the main drive in getting sponsors for the event. Thanks to Robbert Otto and Piet Erasmus for their drive and motivation to make the event a success and supporting the Namibian archers. Both have undertaken to get the ARFAC 1999 going. Thanks to all, including the archers, who had to make long trips to attend the event, for making ARFAC 1998 such a success.

VP Wally Rueger presents Linda Owen the coveted Champion of Champions Trophy
Beautiful Detroit Lakes, Minnesota was the site of the 53rd Annual NFAA Outdoor Nationals. Detroit Lakes borders on one of Minnesota’s more than 10,000 lakes in central Minnesota. I remember shooting the Nationals here nineteen years ago. The thing I remember most was the huge mosquitos and how they went right through the OFF rcpcllant. This year the Heart of Lakes Bowhunters even were able to control that problem. With the fantastic weather and no mosquitoes what more could the archers ask for. There was one big mosquito in the form of a target. Everyone could buy a change fora dollar to share in a 50/50 pot of money. The one coming closest to the orange spot on the mosquito shared the pot accumulated by getting three shots. Russ Weatherby, the 1997 NFAA National Champion, was crowned the “Mosquito Champion". Four new ranges were opened up on the Detroit Lakes Ski Mountain under the direction of President Jeff Holmer in addition to the two rough club ranges. Assisting Jeff were Darrell Olson (MN Regional Governor), Cliff Thies (Maintenance), and Jim McBride and Don Goetz in charge of concessions. SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 1998

The W”NAA By Charles Crites
If you were a duck, it was a great experience. I f you were a competitor, it was still great to come to Canton. Michigan for the 114th National. I love Cantonas it is my new hometown after staying here last year so 1 may sound partial to it and the fine people here. It rained on Wednesday and Thursday but our spirits were not wet. Thursday shooting was cancelled due to wet fields filled with ducks and geese. The young archers held their scores from Wednesday, as many had to leave on Friday morning. It was protested, but to no avail. On Wednesday evening at the member's Annual Meeting we felt a big part of NAA’s future success is on the shoulders of George Greenway. He has a definite plan for the future and is very open to new members. He seems to be the blessing the NAA members deserve. All questions were answered politely and when George didn't know the answers, he referred them to the staff. The Treasurer’s report was detailed and all questions answered. If you haven’t been to the Annual Meeting before you owe it to yourself and NAA to go and participate. Thanks, NAA. for an open honest meeting. After Thursday's cancellation we had a pig roast with real whole pig that was very enjoyable. Tom Yack, Canton Township Supervisor, helped prepare food for us. He really enjoys our sport and is talking about coming back to Canton. We also intend to start a JOAD program in Canton soon. Friday night at the awards banquet there was plenty of good food and some of us danced until the wee hours of the morning. It was a great experience compared to years past. 1 call it the New NAA. After a great week of hard competition and work by the staff and volunteers, the works began to 320
load three rental trucks bound for Ohio. It was hoped to be loaded on Saturday but it took until noon Sunday. The whole staff worked hard all day Saturday led by Tom Green and “General" George Greenway, Karl Little. Lance Vanalta. I worked to try to keep to the schedule. After a long 1 1/2 days it was complete. Thanks, ladies and gentlemen for coming to Canton. My hope is that all of us will get behind the staff and promote our NAA especially through JOAD. JOAD is the great hope of the NAA. The township ofCanton is proud to have us and will welcome us back. Senior Olympic Ladies' Division 1. Dykman, Janet CA 2615 2. Parker. Denise UT 2581 3. Rowe.

Toward the Gold with Freddie Troncoso
Winning and Trying
Author Freddie Troncoso
What magnetic attraction drives and compels us to dedicate countless hours of practice to Olympic style competition knowing that there are only three Olympic Gold Medals awarded at every Olympic Games? Why do dedicated veteran archers continue to try to make national archery teams when their chances of winning the Gold practically parallel those of winning the state lottery? Is it the love for our sport or is it perhaps due to the hopes and dreams that make up life and arc part of being human? The truth is, that most of us are

taking part in archery for the love of the sport and for the satisfaction of watching our arrows hit the center where they belong. Also, many archers return to the trials for the camaraderie and for the privilege of shooting with other archers from around the world. Yes. the fact that archery can become addictive can be verified by the 57 years that I have dedicated to our beloved sport known to us as archcry. Whatever our reasons, archery continues to grow and attract participants due to the challenging and demanding nature of our sport. There is practically no other sport that can match archcry for its pride of achievement and for the satisfaction of being able to perform in an exacting manner time after time after time. Yes, there is a definite thrill associated with shooting a bow that can only be described by those who partake in our difficult sport. When we step up to the shooting line, nock an arrow, draw, aim and release with perfection, there is an overwhelming feeling of accomplishment when our arrows repeatedly strike and penetrate the very center of the target butt. As we become seasoned tournament archers, shooting well during the heat of competition is soon learned and gradually becomes part of winning and succeeding in archcry. If we cannot handle the pressure and emotional strain of competition, our scores and performance suffer. This is the reality that all shooters must face and conquer if he/ she expects to win and emerge triumphant. Therefore, is it safe to conclude that archcry champions are superior beings or super human people? 1 don't think so! Most champions are archers who dedicate themselves to perfecting their archcry and shooting form to the degree that exceeds the efforts of others. Yes, champions put out a greater amount of effort and practice beyond their losing counter parts and fellow shooters. It is well known that winners work harder than the trailing competitors and that this is why they continue to emerge as winners. Great champions do not go to tournaments expecting to find the elusive perfect scores at tournaments. Champions go to tournaments totally prepared and are confidently capable of shooting perfect
scores because they have done so previously during practice and in previous tournament competition. It really docs not matter whether the archery champion or expert performer is an athlete, a musician, ora brilliant lawyer. All winners are well-learned people who arc ultimately skilled in their profession or sport. Being a consistent winner requires constant practice, rehearsal and constant correction in an effort to improve our skills and expertise. The success or failure of our attempts thereby depends on the amount of time dedicated toward the achievement of perfection. If wc are not serious about being dedicated to our chosen sport, then it may be wise to switch shooting styles in an attempt to find another segment of archery that may appeal to our abilities. Our sport of archery offers, bowhunting, target and field shooting, and also offers the newly introduced division called Traditional Archery that is being offered at the NAA Nationals since 1997. Yes, American archers can once again choose to compete for our national titles using a longbow and wooden arrows. Using point of aim, these Standards enable archers of today to compare scores with the "Superstars” of yesteryear. For comparison purposes, the great Russ Hoogerhydc dominated our sport during the 1930’s where he set and established all new world records for the American and York rounds as well. Russ led the pack by posting over 700 points for his American and York rounds respectively. Yes, he maintained his 10 years of dominance using a wood longbow, wooden arrows, point of aim, and no arrow rest or shelf to shoot from. If this type of competition sounds appealing to you, give longbow shooting a try. Let us see how we can fare up and compare to our great champions of past. Go ahead and try it! It may just surprise you to learn how good the “greats” of those eras were!

Coach’s Corner By Bernie Pellerite o.,,? Author’s Bio: Bernie Pellerite s past experience and achievements include many archery champ ionships. prostaff shooter, pro shop ownerandseminar speaker As a bowhunter, he's had 10 animals in the top 10 of Safari Club International Bowhunting World Record Book. He’s a leading technical writer and archery analyst published in many countries as well as many U.S. archcry magazines. He is president ofRobinhood Video Productions, the worlds largest and most popular producer of instructional archery videos. which presently has 28 titles marketed into 34 countries. He is also the inventor and sole distributor of the new "Bernies CAN T PUNCH™ " release, which eliminates punching and target panic. (Sec ad on page 353) As a professional coach he created the worldfamous NFAA Shooter s School, aimed at intermediate to professional level archers, and also offers the NFAA Advanced Certified Instructor program as an option. Bernie and his wife, Jan. will be conducting these exciting shooter's schools which arc also available on 6 video tapes (see ad on page 355). Formore information, call Bernie or Jan at Robinhood Videos (352)237-7614 or fax (352)237-8775. NFAA Shooter Schedule for 1998: Oct. 17-18 (Tentative) at Archcry World, Caro.

For more information on hosting a school or getting on a waiting list for this year or next year to host a school call Robinhood Videos (352)237-7614 or fax (352)237-8775. The following are popular questions that were received in the NFAA Shooter's School over the past 21/2 years.
’ve heard a lot about a tuning method that causes the bow to hold steadier called “tiller tuning.” How do you tiller tune and does it really work? Tiller tuning is a method of adjusting the tiller on the bow to the way you set your hand in the bow in order to make the limbs balance out at full draw, thereby causing the bow to hold much steadier. Briefly, this is how it is done: You take nine, 9 inch paper plates and mark each one as follows: “0 tiller”, “1/4 top", 3/4 top", “full

turn top", “1/4 bottom”, 1/2 bottom”, “3/4 bottom", and “full turn bottom." Shoot each one from 60 yards (or as far away as you can keep 6 arrows in a 9 inch plate). Start at even, or zero tiller and shoot 6 arrows at the “0 tiller" plate. Don’t forget to reset the nocking point and peep sight back to normal before shooting at each of the next four paper plates that represent 1/4 turn positions on the top limb. Then, return to even tiller and shoot four more paper plates, starting with “1/4 bottom”. Supposedly, after each paper plate is shot and you examine all nine, one or two of them will have much tighter groups than the others. That is the tiller adjustment at which you should shoot that bow. For the second part of your question, as to whether it really works... in my opinion, absolutely not! Here are two reason. The first problem I see is, in order for this method to have any scientific credibility, the archer would have to release every arrow perfectly (6 arrows al 9 paper plates = 54 shots) while the sight is exactly in the center of the target and without any variation in hand torque. After seeing over 400 laser sight pictures in the NFAA Shooter’s School at 20 yards, 1 can safely say that won’t happen! 95% of these shooters can’t keep the laser in a 3 inch circle at 20 yards, (let alone at 60 yards, 54 times in a row) and 20% of them admit that they have already tiller tuned their bows. Secondly, think about this: if you were going to bore sight a rifle or set your scope, would you try to shoot at a target free hand, or would you put it on a bench rest? Obviously, a bow is much more critical than a rifle and the only way to duplicate 54 perfect shots is to put the bow in a shooting machine that exactly duplicates your hand pressure in the grip and insures the sight was exactly on target every time. The big problem I have with tiller tuning is, advocates of tiller tuning point out that no two limbs on a bow are exactly the same. For example, the bottom limb on a particular bow is 41 pounds and the top limbs is 40 pounds. If the tiller is equal in this example, the imbalance between the top and bottom limbs will cause the limbs to fight each other up and down, causing the sight to move up and down. If you’re undecided about this theory that two limbs on a compound bow can fight
each other, analyze again the example of the 40 and 41 pound limbs. If the stronger 41 pound limb on the bottom pulls the bow sight down, ... what pulls it back up? The 40 pound limb? How exactly docs 40 pounds pull up 41 pounds? If you put a 40 pound weight on one side of a scale and a 41 pound weight on the other, the 41 pound side will tip down and stop. 40 pounds CANNOT lift the 41 pound side of the scale. Some say the muscles in the bow arm pull the bow back up. Okay, just for argument’s sake, let’s buy that answer for a moment What then, pulls the bow back down again? 1 did an experiment to prove or disprove tiller tuning once and for all. 1 took a bow that was set at zero tiller and placed it in a contraption that would hold it at full draw. A piece of foam rubber was placed on the bracket that held the grip to represent the consistency of the human hand. The only other place the bow made contact with this contraption was at the nocking point on the string, simulating being held with a release aid. The bow was free to move up and down or side to side if it was capable of doing so. Next, I attached a laser to the bow sight and aimed it at a target on the wall. If the bow moved, I would sec the laser dot move. The laser revealed no movement. Then, FOUR FULL TURNS were taken off the bottom limb bolt to simulate a bow severely out of tiller tune. The laser revealed NO movement again. I even attached the laser to the top cam to see if there was any movement happening. but there still was no movement. I attached the laser to the limb, and again, no movement. I knew that some people would say that this was a static test and did not involve the human element, so I put my hand between the grip and the bracket and watched the laser dot on the wall again. There still was no up and down movement To confirm my findings, I talked to Norb Mulaney, well known engineer and writer about this. He said he has tested lots of bows in his shooting machine with lasers attached to the bow sights and pulled the string back from different points on the string, several inches above or below the nocking point. This would also severely effect the tiller and the balance of the bow. But he too failed to find any movement in the laser dots.

Also, remember that when you elevate your bow for uphill shots, your draw length normally gets shorter and when you shoot downhill, the opposite is true... your draw length will get longer.

down in competition on an average of I out of 5 times. However, this will vary from shooter to shooter and situation to situation. Everyone has a physical comfort zone and when that comfort zone is violated. the archer should let down. The comfort zone for every individual may vary, but in general the average archer has about an 8 second comfort zone. When you draw and hold a bow, after 8 seconds the muscles of the average archer will start to shake and deteriorate because of oxygen deprivation and other factors. Therefore, when you go past that comfort zone, you will not shoot the arrow when you arc at the steadiest. Depending on your age, physical strength, and your lung capacity, comfort zones will range from 6 up to 14 to 15 seconds. People who work out regularly, or run 5 miles per day will be able to hold longer than a shooter that is overweight and/or smokes. Average archers that try to imitate the physically fit shooter’s comfort zone will frequently get into trouble, because they cannot hold steady past 8 or 9 seconds. You can test your comfort zone by attaching a flashlight or laser to your bow and hold on a spot on the wall. Have someone video tape it and see at which point the light is at its steadiest and when it starts to move erratically. Obviously, you should shoot within the calmest period of your comfort zone, (normally between 4 to 8 seconds.) If you over-hold and start to shake, you should let down. Lastly, any time ANY thought other than aiming enters your mind, LET DOWN. You can’t aim and think about your release (or anything else) at the same time.

From The Senior Corner By Joe Bauernfeind E-mail joeb@bnl.gov Author Joe Bauernfeind
Welcome once again to the Senior Comer. Here we are already at the end of summer and another outdoor archcry season. 1 know some of you folks in the warmer climates had a tough summer, with cities like Dallas going for more than a month with 100 degree temperature and I’m sure you welcome the chance to get out on the range in a little cooler weather, but for us folks in the northern latitudes the coming of September brings an end to the field and target tournaments as people’s attention turns to the hunt. Years ago we shot field tournaments right through the fall in some of the brightest and most colorful weather of the year, but if you schedule a field shoot in October now.
A multi-mode back tension release. Shoot it with the attached rope or a string loop, in either normal or clicker modes. No hard to load gadgets to add and no caliper jaws to wear out the string loop. A simple adjustment of the half moon cam does it all. One cam has all you need, normal, click and practice modes. Machined and cast handles available. Call and ask about our new "panic breaker' cams.

you'll be lucky to get enough people out to make up one or two groups. Seems like a shame, but I guess things change over time and we have to accept reality. That doesn’t mean we should give up the struggle to bring back the old fun days in archcry though. I think each and every senior who shot through those great times in field and target archery, has an obligation to try to keep those memories alive and to pass them on to the youngsters in hopes that they might rebuild our sport to its former greatness. Here we go for one final push for those of you who have been sitting back and who have not yet qualified for the National Senior Games. I got my confirmation letter today from USNSGA congratulating me for qualifying and giving me instructions on how to register. It's more than a year away but I’m excited already. It’s going to be a chance at the vacation of a lifetime, what with the competition and the great venue at Disney World. I ’ m sure they have a super game plan for us so don’t miss it. Several seniors spoke to me at the NFAA Nationals about qualifying out of state. For one reason or another they had missed their own qualifier and wanted to know what to do. For starters I’m going to list the states who still have not held their games, although by the time you read this I ’m sure some of them will be over as well. You can also refer back to the March/April copy of U.S. Archer for a complete list. The states who still have qualifiers are as follows: Arkansas9/17-9/20,Delaware 10/3-10/11, Florida 12/2-12/6 (good time for a winter vacation anyway ), Georgia 9/23 - 9/26, Hawaii 11 /28 -11 /30 (take me along ifyou’re going to this one), Illinois 9/17 - 9/20,9/23 9/27, Kansas 10/8-10/11, Kentucky 9/24 9/27, Louisiana 9/19-10/3, Maine 9/9-10/ 3. Maryland 10/1 - 10/3 ( closed to out of state residents), Nevada 10/1 - 10/11 (try your luck in Vegas), New Hampshire 9/25 9/27 (fall foliage time), North Carolina 9/22 - 9/27 (closed to out of staters), Oklahoma 9/17 - 9/23, South Dakota 9/11 - 9/13, Texas 9/22 - 9/27 ( should be cooler by then ), Utah 10/12- 10/24, Vermont9/16(call for other dates ), Wisconsin 9/9-9/16. That’s it folks. I know you’re probably tired of reading about this in my past 3 columns, but 1 wanted to make sure that the word
got out. Don’t expect any pity from me if you missed out. 1 tried my damdest for this year and I’ll put it to rest now and go on to the other exciting senior news. The NFAA Nationals went off as scheduled from July 27 - 31 in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. The weather was great with cool mornings and only an occasional threat of rain. The infamous Minnesota mosquitoes were quite kind to us this year. The first timers thought it was pretty bad, but believe me it was nothing like ’79. Maybe it was the disappointing registration of only about 350 shooters that kept them away. Hardly enough people for them to really mount a full scale war. Most of the people are getting pretty old and tough anyway and these guys were hoping for some new blood. The Senior classes continue to be one of the largest and most competitive groups at each major shoot and as much as 1 love you old timers I have to side with the mosquitoes and hope the new blood will be coming along pretty soon. The Pro-Am shoot kicked off the festivities on Sunday afternoon under ominous skies and high winds. Sure enough the rains came and washed out the event which was started from scratch on Wednesday, or was it Tuesday? Whatever, my memory ain’t what it used to be. This time the skies were sunny, although the wind was still a factor. One of the pros only missed a couple of clays which is great shooting under any circumstances. The top amateur J.C. Bradway from New Jersey only missed two clays himself and walked away with the coveted Zenith “Top Gun’’ release award. Jay is a long time hook shooter and 1 know he really wanted to win this one. He also went on to finish in a tie for first place in the Freestyle Open class, before losing to Dave Butler in a shoot-off. Great shooting Jay and I think next year in Watkins Glen might be your time. The Senior Freestyle was won once again by that perennial champion Dean Pridgen, with yours truly in second and big Lloyd Napier in third. This was the first year in the seniors for Lloyd as well as Mike Little, the Senior Freestyle winner in Tulsa and Don Graham who was featured in my last column. Unfortunately for Don his bow was shooting like it had a modified choke THE U.S. and INTERNATIONAL ARCHER
on it. Very large groups indeed. It turned out to be one of Don’s own inventions, a flexible cable guard, that was the culprit. By the time of our state shoot 2 weeks later, all was well and Don shot a pair of 545's to do me and everybody else in. Look out next year Dean. Mike Little also was very impressive as expected. Unfortunately too many of his X’s were in somebody elsc’s target. Pay attention Mike or Lloyd will take that bow away from you. Mrs. Mike walked the course with her hubby the day we shot together but she couldn't keep Mike on the right target either. We did have a good time though as usual. This makes two years in a row I’ve been chasing old Dean around these hills. Let me tell you, the man knows archery. No fancy tricks or equipment, just a lifetime of knowledge about archery and how to win. He always says he’s not shooting that well coming into the tournament, but he knows how to get it done when the chips are down. Someone said they heard he was going to quit shooting and he told them that when he doesn’t get any fun out of it he will quit. That means he’ll be around a long time folks, which is great for the other seniors as well as all of archery. Another battle was waged in the Senior Pro division with Frank Pearson, shooting like the Frank of old, beating Joe Herbert of Virginia. Both of these guys were in the mid forties, score not age, all week over some of the toughest ranges this side of Darrington. This leads me down another trail which I’ll briefly follow here. The ranges arc just to physically tough for some of us old timers. I know it’s a challenge to many of us, but we've got to think in terms of the whole senior group. Wc have people going out there with replacement hips and knees trying to climb hills which would lest anybody's mettle. We also have people who continue to support Field Archcry into their 70’s and even 80’s. These folks need ranges which arc less taxing than the youngsters shoot, although even there it’s supposed to be about shooting a bow accurately, not trying to do it from a slake where you can barely stand up. I dread the day when someone has to be carried from the range with a broken bone or a heart attack. My final stop for the summer was at the I BO Worlds. I’m not a 3D guy, but I signed up for a booth to sell my releases. Let me tell you, almost 3000 archers at a shoot was very impressive, and 1 do mean archers. This was the cream of the 3D world and the whole thing worked like clockwork. The site was at the Peck'n Peak Resort in western New York and the more than 15 ranges were set up mostly on the ski slopes, with some of them accessible by chair lifts. The array of equipment used was somewhat different than field archery, heavier bow weights, longer draw lengths, larger scopes but all top of the line stuff. If wc could get more of these shooters into field archery by making it more attractive for them we could be right back into new archcry heyday. By more attractive, I'm talking about prize money folks. All associations are going to have to find ways of building up the purses offered to attract the new shooters. The old saying ‘‘it takes money to make money” fits the situation like a glove. That’s it for now folks. I hope to continue the column through the fall and winter and as long as you and Arlync will allow me to. Look for some upcoming ideas on equipment and techniques which may help some of you who arc struggling into the twiIight years. You’d be amazed what a difference a few changes can make to allow for those failing eyes and shakier arms. Good luck on your upcoming hunts and keep those broadheads sharp.

“Something is Cooking in Atlantic City’’ Sometimes a little spice added to a great recipe is all that is needed to create a new sensation. Helen Bolnick and company have been cooking up plans for a very special 1999 AC Classic. A few new tasty ingredients guarantee to make this years Classic a smorgasbord to delight the pallet of any Archer. Allow me to wet me wet your appetite. The centerpiece of the Classic wi 11, as always, be the popular, two day, 600 round, tastily served up in the breathtaking, brand new "Atlantic City Convention Center”. The floor will be elegantly lined with all your favorite vendors and manufactures treating you to factory direct advise, friendly smiles and a peek at the newest in Archery equipment. Want more? How about an “Archery Festival” sponsored by the AMO featuring fun and games for everyone. Some ofthe goodies will include Dart System Games and Easton Archcry’s new novelty games. There will even be AMO folks showing novices how to shoot. The format for the gamesand the Festival are still being developed, but the word is that there will be lots of surprises. Hoyt, Specialty Archery, Saunders, Easton and others are helping Helen cook up ideas for this new “Festival Twist” to this time proven winner of a shoot. Atlantic City has a new Lighthouse right outside the Center. We are convinced it was built exclusively to welcome Archers to the 1999 Classic. The same is true for the thousands of new hotel rooms added just this year to the expanding boardwalk.
If this all sounds scrumptious mark your calendar, today. Why not treat yourself, and your family to a great Atlantic City Archery weekend. The Dates - April 30th, May 1&2,1999. 331

“International Bowhuntcr Challenge" was hosted once again at Hocking College in Nelsonville. Ohio on July 10-12. More than 1,490 registered shooters, along with family and friends gathered over the area for a weekend of hot competition, as well as fun. Competition at this tournament would be fierce, as the combined scores from this and the previous two Triple Crown shoots would determine the Overall National Triple Crown winners in each respective shooting class.

Stepp, Bumbarger win IBO World Championship By Rhonda Campbell
AU participants in the Future Bowhuntcr Shoot received handsome trophies
The IBO World Championship was held at beautiful Pcck’n Peak Resort and Conference Center in Clymer, New York on August 6-9.2.537 registered shooters, along with their families and friends came from all over the United States and Europe to attend the weekend's festivities and competition. Courses were set along the many ski slopes dotted throughout the resort area. The terrain was rugged but breathtaking, and targets were set to create a good challenge for shooters. Most participants found that shots had to be taken in a leaning-body position, with dependence upon their bow’s “level", in order to make a good shot! Festivities were in full swing on Thursday as a constant flow of shooters made their way to the Registration Building, and then to the practice range or designated shooting ranges. Participants and spectators could also be found at the Bowhunter Defense Round. The Easton Eagle Eye Shoot range or at some of the novelty shooting ranges that dotted the area. Many attended the Exhibitors Trade Show, the arts and craft show and the children’s activity areas set up near the Main Ski Lodge. Others played golf, took ski lift rides and explored the many quaint gift shops in and around the area. There seemed to be something for everyone in attendance! Thursday evening found hundreds of children and their parents gathered behind the Main Ski Lodge for the Youth Jamboree, hosted by World Champion shooter, Joella Prcsson. Kids had the chance to shoot, or learn to shoot a bow, and win lots of great prizes donated by several archery manufacturers and various other 334
businesses. Thursday, Friday and Saturday were busy days as a steady flow of shooters went to and from their respective shooting ranges throughout each day. On Saturday afternoon, a large crowd of children and parents gathered behind the Main Ski Lodge for the Future Bowhunters Shoot and Awards Ceremony. Proud parents cheered loudly as their little ones had a great time shooting! After the shoot, each child received a handsome trophy, presented by IBO President Ken Watkins. Children also received a large assortment of archery related prizes. Grand Prize bicycles were won by Alexis Petroskcy and Jeremy Hebner. Everyone went away with a smile! On Saturday evening, people gathered near the score boards to check results and find out who would be in Sunday’s shootoff rounds. Others flocked to the Easton Eagle Eye Championship Shoot in full swing behind the Main Ski Lodge. The sun set quickly as over 200 shooters, in lines of 20 at a time, took their turns in a sudden death shootoff for a $1,000.00 prize. The competition was tough, and spectators cheered wildly throughout this exciting event. Shooter numbers quickly dwindled down to a shootoff between Mathews Pro shooter, Richard Freeland and Hoyt Semi Pro John Irvine. After two tie rounds of shooting, it was John Irvine who would take top billing in this event. Irvine, who estimated the yardage at a “flat 20 yards," was presented a check by Peter Weaver, President of Easton Technical Products, and IBO Director, Jay Scholes. An exciting end to an exciting day! Sunday morning saw Shootoff participants on designated ranges of 20
targets. Scores from this round of shooting would determine the IBO World Championship winners. Tension was high and competition was hot as shooters made their final shots. High Country Pro shooter. David Stepp emerged from the range with the top score of 198, making him the IBO World Championship winner! Stepp took home a prize of S2.393.00 for his efforts this weekend. Hoyt shooter.

Hopkins — History in the making at Pennzoil Pro/Am & ASA Federation World Championship “Classic” Atlanta, Georgia — Over 2.000 of the nation’s top amateur and professional archers converged on the Wolf Creek Olympic Shooting Sports Complex for the 1998 PENNZOIL Pro/Am & ASA Federation World Championship “Classic” 3-D archcry tournament. August 14-16, 1998. The tournament was the 7th and final event in the 1998 PENNZOIL Pro/ Am Championship Series, crowning 15 divisional ASA World Champions and ASA “Shooter of the Year” titles. Competition was covered by ESPN and the Outdoor Life cable networks and will air later this year. ASA World Championship competition involves shooting two 20 target rounds for each of the 11 Amateur Divisions, plus a 10 target Elimination Round and a 6 target Final Round for each of the 4 Professional Divisions. Scores arc determined by 5. 8. 10, and 12 point sections or “rings,” plus a 14 Ring in the PENNZOIL Pro Division Final Round ShootDown. Contestants get only one shot per target. A perfect 40 target score would be 480 points while par or even is considered 400. The Open Pro Division’s highest 40 target, in-compctition score on record is 436 points with 19 Twelve Rings. and was set at the 1996 ASA Georgia Pro/ Am Championship by the 1997 ASA World Champion. Jeff Hopkins of Clayton, Delaware. Targets are life-size 3-D foam targets representing 10 different North American Big Game animals. Targets are placed in shooting lanes to simulate ethical hunting situations and arc shot at unknown distances of up to 45 yards. In addition to regular divisional competition, shooters enjoyed the new Brunton Known Distance3-D ShootOut and the PENNZOIL Bowhunter Challenge Pop & Walk-Out 3-D Bowhunting Simulator. The Brunton Known Distance 3-D ShootOut saw Keith Trail of Fort Brag, North Carolina take the Amateur Division and Ken Likens (Mathews) of London, Kentucky won the Brunton Pro Division for the third time this year. The PENNZOIL Bowhunter Challenge was won by Steve Hogaboom of Orlando, Florida with a 108 out of a possible 128. Saturday, August 15: The rolling terrain, mixed pines and hardwoods, and low light conditions created by overcast 336
skies produced difficult shooting conditions at the Wolf Creek Olympic Shooting Complex. After first round, second round, and the Pro Division 10 target Elimination Round, Jeff Hopkins was the talk of the town. After 50 World Championship targets, Hopkins, a Bear/ Jennings Pro Staff shooter from Clayton, Delaware led the Open Pro Division with a 530 — 30 points above par or even. Hopkins’ closest competitor was Allan Conner (Mathews) of Attalla, Alabama. Conner was 12 points behind with a 518. Ken Likens (Mathews) and Dennis Shrewsbury of Rock, West Virginia were tied for third place with 510 each. On the Women’s Pro Range, Susan Thompson (Mathews) of Douglasvile, Georgia held the top spot with a 465. Holly Heath (Bear/ Jennings) of Horse Shoe, North Carolina held the second place spot with a 463, and Joella Bates-Presson (Mathews) of McKenzie, Tennessee held third place with a462. Randall Jones (Hoyt)ofLula, Georgia led the Senior Pro Division with a 495, while George Farris (Mathews) held second with a 489 and Orris Hall (Mathews) held third with 488. Jesse Morehead (Mathews) led the Limited Pro Di vision with a 405 to round out the Pro Division highlights. The PENNZOIL Pro Pressure Point Final Round was not set, and soon the PENNZOIL and ASA World Championship and “Shooter of the Year” titles would be decided. Jeff Hopkins won the World Championship title in 1997, but lost the 1997 “Shooter of the Year" title to David Stepp (High Country) of Glendale, Arizona. Hopkins started the 1998 World Championship with a 39 point “Shooter of the Year” lead, and was now leading the Championship by 12 points. Jeff Hopkins was on his way to becoming the first to successfully defend an ASA Open Pro World Championship title, and the first to win the World Championship and the “Shooter of the Year” titles in the same year. History was being written with every arrow released by Hopkins. The shoot-out began with the Limited Pro Division. Jesse Morehead (Mathews) of Rydal, Georgia, was victorious over Buddy Durr and Rodney Huffman. It had been 9 years since Morehead had won a
major championship — Jesse did it with style, shooting a 454 to take the Championship. The Senior Pros were next to shoot — after the 6 targets, Randall Jones was the Champion with a 541. The Women’s Pro Division Final Round was next. Susan Thompson, the 1997 ASA Women’s Pro World Champion and “Shooter of the Year” was leading by 2 points over Hollic Heath. The final score — Hollic 508. Susan 511 and back to back World Championship titles. Three Georgia natives now held ASA World Championship titles — Jesse Morehead of Rydal, Randall Jones of Lula, and Susan Thomspon of Douglasville. The Open Pros were now ready for the big shoot-out, but there would be no big bang. Hopkins' Final Round shots were more like a shooting clinic than a competition. Pete Works (Mathews) of South Side, Alabama did move up to cause a 7th target shoot-out for second place with Allan Conner (Mathews) of Attalla, Alabama, but Jeff Hopkins successfully defended his ASA World Championship title with a final 590 points. Pete Works secured second place with a 585 and Allan Conner took third place with 582. With the 1998 ASA World Championships decided, it was now time to decide the 1998 PENNZO1L “Shooter of the Year" titles. “Shooter of the Year" is calculated from every competitive point earned throughout the 1998 ASA Tournament Tour. The competitor with the most points within each division wins the title. The Limited Pros would shoot first — Buddy Durr (Mathews) of Isola, Mississippi took the title with one arrow. George Dixon (Mathews) of Salida, Colorado had a 34 point advantage over Burley Hall (High Country) of Dunlap, Tennessee. George shot conservatively and took the Senior Pro “Shooter of the Year" title with no problem. The Women’s Pro Division was next, but if any of the ladies (Susan Thompson and Joella BatesPresson) wanted to win this title they would have to overcome Lauric Watson's 26 point lead. Each competitor shot two arrows, but in the end Lauric Watson (Hoyt) of Cave Creek, Arizona took the 1998 ASA
THE U.S. and INTERNATIONAL ARCHER
Women’s Pro “Shooter of the Year" title. The Open Pro Division “Shooter of the Year” title was now between Randy Ulmer (Browning) of Cave Creek, Arizona; David Stepp (High Country) of Glendale, Arizona; and Jeff I lopkins. Hopkins now held a 59 point “Shooter of the Year” advantage over Ulmer. Only one arrow would need to be shot - Jeff's was a perfect 12 Ring to secure the 1998 PENNZO1L “Shooter of the Year." Several had come close, Randy Ulmer, Johnny Heath. David Stepp, but Jeff Hopkins was the first to take the ASA Open Pro World Championship and the “Shooter of the Year" in the same year. Jeff Hopkins is also the first to successfully defend an ASA Open Pro World Championship title. On the winners podium, Hopkins posed for pictures holding checks that totaled over $40,000.00 in cash. This was not the first time in 1998 that Hopkins dominated the field — during 1998 Jeff won two ASA Pro/Am Championship tournaments and finished second, third, or fourth in the rest, resulting in another $100,000.00 year. Not bad for shooting a bow! For more information on the 1998 PENNZOIL Pro/Am & ASA Federation World Championship “Classic" contact David Foster at (770)795-0232.

In a competition like this where the best archers in the world vic for the prizes, he said that every shot counts. “I had to mentally prepare for each target before every shot,” he added. “I was concentrating so hard, it was almost as if I could predict when a shot would hit the 12ring before it ever reached the target."

THE U.S. and INTERNATIONAL ARCHER
World Archery Festival Redefines Fun, Competition and Cash Prizes. 1999 Event Promises Even More! June, 1998 — The first-ever World Archery Festival, held last March in Las Vegas, was perhaps the most successful and exciting combination archcry event in history. The concept of hosting multiple archery venues — from competitive events with big money pay-outs to fun novelty shoots at a single indoor event was a huge success. Plans arc already in place for the 1999 World Archery Festival, to be held again at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas. March 12, 13, 14, 1999. "Next year is going to be BIG," says Olympic Archery Gold Medalist. Jay Barrs. "The idea is not a new one. For years event organizers have tried to tie multiple archery disciplines together. The Festival actually made it happen in a big way. And I have a feeling it's just going to get better next year." Fellow Gold Medalist, Justin Huish, joined Barrs in several of the new events. including 3-D and Dart U.S. Archery Championships rounds. Archers and their families traveled from around the world to participate in this firstever format. The well-established Las Vegas 18-mctcr Indoor round was joined by the IBO, Dart Target Systems, PSE S.T.A.R.S. and several novelty shoots for adults and kids. “More than 500 people participated in the novelty rounds, including a Robinhood contest and a chance to win a 1998 Chevy Blazer. An additional S400 was paid out in a nerve-wracking, steel-plate shoot called the Terminator. Proceeds from this event were donated to the American Cancer Society. The Vegas Indoor portion of the weekend had excellent participation as well, with SI30.000 in total pay-outs."
said Barrs. “And. a great place for kids of all ages to shoot archery — and they all walked away with a prize.” “We are really looking forward to the 1999 Festival," noted Pete Shcpley. President of PSE and creator of the S.T.A.R.S. archcry-handicapping concept. "We had a pretty good turnout for our first attempt at this type of event. We expect to sec even more shooters who don’t typically compete in tournaments really win big in the S.T.A.R.S. event in 1999." PSE paid nearly 59,000 in cash over two days with one first-time S.T.A.R.S. shooter taking home 5650. Bobby Vargas, an archer with a Rank 7 handicap, says, “This event is a great way to meet shooters from all walks of life ... beginners to pros. The team concept lets beginners shoot right along side pros, without pressure or intimidation — because the handicapping system really works.” With more than 1500 participants, the large Sands Expo Hall was a buzz ofarchery enthusiasts and their kids. "The term Festival couldn't be more appropriate,” said Greg Easton of Easton Technical Products and an organizer of the novelty events. “It literally was a festive atmosphere. No longer did people shoot their 30-arrow Vegas round and then be finished for the weekend. There was so much more for people to do. And next year is only going to be better." “Wow!" was the response from IBO President Ken Watkins. "We had about 450 archers, some who had never shot a 3-D target before, go through our 20-target 3-D round. We paid out 53,000 to 45 teams. But
it's not just about the money... these people were having fun. I can't wait for next year.” Lines were formed from morning until closing time at the Dart System. This innovative interactive video target system allows archers to shoot arrows in very realistic bowhunting scenes, plus establish a handicap for the U.S.A.C. ranking system. "We paid out more than S 10.000 in three days," said Jack Lyons of Dart. "A couple shooters put more than SI,500 in their pockets. And in Vegas, those aren't bad odds doing something you love to do!" Next year will provide an equally exciting opportunity for archers and bowhunters to compete on another interactive system provided by A.LS. The 1999 World Archery Festival is scheduled for March 12th through the 14th. New for the Festival will be a World Master Archcry Team Trophy series that will crown one team as the best all-around archers from the 1999 World Archery Festival. Several novelty events will again give shooters fun, challenging chances to win big money and have a shot at a new sport utility vehicle. The sponsors of this event, AAE, Browning. Easton, Hoyt, Martin Archery. PSE, and the Archcry Manufacturers and Merchants Organization (AMO) invite you to sign up now for the 1999 World Archery Festival. Airfare packages and early registration programs are already in preparation. For more information, you can check out the festival web site at www.worldarchfest.com.

Scope Lenses—Clearing It Up Part 2 in a series
Not All Coatings Are Created Equal by Chuck Cooley and Bert Cooley In our first article we discussed the basics of scope lens design. ( US Archer vol. 17. no. 4 pg. 274) and we mentioned that our next article would cover the topic of lens coatings. This article is intended to inform the shooter of the basics of lens coatings, how they are applied, and the benefits that can be expected from any given coating and/or lens combination. First let's discuss anti-reflection ( A/R ) coatings in general. These coatings are micro thin layers of assorted compounds and chemicals, that when applied in a certain fashion, help light to pass through a lens versus reflecting away from it. Hence the name Anti Reflection. The thickness of these layers is measured in angstroms, a measurement equal to one ten-millionth of one millimeter. It is incredibly important to mention here that no matter the quality of the coatings, there is no way to eliminate 100% of reflection. To do this you would have to remove the lens from the housing. The best coatings currently available are approximately 95% to 99.8% effective at eliminating reflections. This effectiveness depends on how many layers of A/R coating are on the lens and the process in which they are applied. Now let's understand how an A/R coating layer works. Each wavelength of light in the color spectrum passes through the lens at a different speed and angle. If the lens is held at just the right angle (90 degrees from the light source) you will see some reflection because not all of the light passes through the lens. The concept of A/R coating is to allow this light to pass through the lens rather than reflecting off the surface. Generally, a lens with fewer A/R coating layers will exhibit greater reflective tendencies than a lens with multiple A/R layers. Also, in a non-coated lens there is an absorption, or loss, of approximately 8% to 11 % of all visible light. Each layer of A/R material is designed to redirect specific wavelengths of reflected light back into, and through the lens. Single-layer coatings arc designed to eliminate reflections of a broad band of wavelengths. However, this still leaves some reflection. By using multiple layers of A/R coatings, it is possible to achieve less reflection and better transmission of light through the lens because each layer can deal with more specific wavelengths of light. All A/R coatings reveal a faint residual color. This is a normal result and cannot be eliminated, different manufacturers will allow a color that they feel is most desirable.

There arc different ways to apply antircflcctive coating, but traditionally most manufacturers are hesitant to shed too much insight on the exact details, claiming them to be a trade secret. In one basic method, the lenses arc cleaned and suspended in a ultra clean vacuum chamber free of outside air and the material to be applied is heated to a flash point . The coating material will then settle and bond to the surface of the lens. The lenses arc then cleaned and inspected and sent for customer use. This style of coating is fairly popular and been used for several years but can be susceptible to easy damage such as peeling or scratching. This is especially true if the lens is exposed to a harsh environments or excessive moisture which allows re absorption of water into the coating which will eventually separate the coating from the lens surface. A second and more advanced way to apply A/R coatings that has been developed in the last few years is known as Ion-Beam or "IonPlasma" assisted. This coating process is generally a highly guarded secret and is so advanced it is patented. Essentially, in this process one component (lens or coating) is negatively charged and the other is positively charged as the coating process takes place. This creates a virtually inseparable, permanent molecular bond between the coatings and the lens surface. Generally this type of coating is a high performance, multi-layer A/R. Most lenses coated in this manner will use additional layers of silicone in the process. These additional silicone layers provide superior scratch protection as well as providing a hydro-phobic (water hating) barrier. This barrier will allow water to shed off the lens leaving virtually no residue or spots. It also allows the lens to demonstrate anti-static properties so that dust and debris can be more easily removed with a tissue or soft cloth. By sealing the surface with a silicone barrier the fear of water damage to the coating is no longer a concern. In fact theses types of coating processes have been tested in a vat of boiling water for up to two hours at 15 minute intervals without damage. These types of coalings generally need no additional gels or creams such as anti-fog or rain repellent liquids to improve their performance. In fact, they may actually damage the coating if applied. It should be noted that lens design regardless of type, plano-convex, meniscus, or aspheric, does not affect A/R performance. These arc really two separate issues in optics.
Some lens designs can and will however, work together with a high quality coaling to greatly improve target definition and image, as demonstrated in several styles of popular sighting scopes, field glasses, and rifle scopes. Many manufacturers use various curved lens combinations along with high quality A/R coalings to achieve precise optical views depending on the intended application Finally, when cleaning an A/R lens you must remember that the coating is microscopically thin and part of an advanced optical system. It must be treated with the same care as your field glasses, spotting scope. or other fine optical equipment. First, never use a commercial glass cleaning product. These products have a high detergent level and generally have an ammonia base which can break down and damage your lens coating no matter what process was used to apply and protect the coating. The best method for cleaning A/R lenses has been hotly debated in research but the general consensus is that a high quality Anti-Reflective cleaning solution should be used in conjunction with a soft clean cloth. If a solution designed for A/R coatings is unavailable then a solution of isopropyl alcohol can safely be used. We hope this information will be useful when purchasing a replacement lens for your existing scope or if you are considering a new scope and lens combination. It is important to keep your needs and uses of the equipment in mind so that your equipment performs as expected when it is needed. Look for our next article in which we will discuss various lens tinting options and the advantages and applications for each style and color especially indoor spots and 3-D applications.

THE U.S. and INTERNATIONAL ARCHER
“Sweet Sensation” By Jim Despart I forgot to include a short story on my return to the NFAA Indoor Nationals. The last time I competed in the tournament was in 1993, winning first place with a perfect 120X. This year I planned on shooting well, but you just never know. I have been practicing very hard mentally and I have spent a great deal of time preparing my new equipment to ensure complete confidence down the stretch. Starting the indoor season around January 15, I was testing Don Kudlacck's harness on a brand new Martin Scepter II for the very first time. This harness replaces the existing synthetic load strings with dual steel cables, separated by a cable “spreader” which allows the arrow to be shot between the cables instead of around them. This completely restores the efficiency of the compound system, which was lost by the negative torque created by pulling the cables out of the way of the arrow. Anyway, the very first round I shot with it was a "world class" 450 round with an amazing 44 super X’s. Prettiest target I’ve shot in years. I knew right then that the Archery Gods were calling me back for a special appearance. I had not shot an arrow in almost 11 months except for my bowhunting equipment. The bow had a completely different feel than 1 had ever felt. Very quick and clean, but with a short noticeable “bounce" that disappeared quickly (probably due to the x-tra long steel cables). The very first thing I noticed with the tuning process was that horizontal tuning of the rest became much less critical. Left and right arrows were all but eliminated using the split steel harness. Due to the transfer of vibrations through the muscles of the shooter’s back and shoulders there is a remarkable difference in the dampening effect while aiming the bow with a split steel harness versus a true synthetic soft yoke system. The synthetic materials, such as fast flite seem to transfer energy in the form of vibrations al a rate 5 times greater than a steel cable system. What this means is that at a tournament where you’re a bit tense, you’ll get no reprieve using synthetic harness systems. As all of the outdoor compound records will prove, steel cables will aim better and outperform any other configuration. This is partly due to the overall increased mass weight of the steel cable and partly due to the plastic coating on the steel cable, which incidentally acts as a silencer. Any bow that stabilizes faster, will be inherently more efficient. The end result is a bow that seems to "quiet down" at full draw in the first few seconds compared with 4-7 seconds on a soft yoke system. When I combined that with the all new Scepter II riser and the speed of Martin Fury Cam, I realized in a very short time that I was holding a bow capable of breaking world records. In the next few practice rounds, I gained 7-10

super X’s per game without doing anything different. Since then I have shot 3385 shots at 20 yards and I have shot all but 4 arrows in the “ten ring." That includes 71 perfect 450 games since January. And I have only missed one ten ring in the last 2950 shots (my 28th arrow on the first day in Vegas — 299-29X). The Martin people have built a bow in the Scepter II that will undoubtedly raise the standards by which all bows arc matched. Its design is flawless and very rugged. Interestingly. Don Kudlacek’s original setup has not changed at all, either. Everything he said his products would do, they have. This is the first bow I've ever owned that seems more like a partner than just a “bow." When I'm not 100%, it doesn't really seem to mind at all. It puts every arrow cither dead center or very close to it without much of a hassle. After missing that one shot in Vegas and coming up short there again (God knows I am trying my best to win that one), I just kept concentrating on the very same thing I always have — Conscious Aiming. I just knew that there was no way I was going to miss in Tulsa. The first round on Saturday was one of the best competitive rounds I've every shot on a five spot target. It was a truly “clean 60X 300 with 57/60 ’inside out’ (37 in a row at one point touching the little blue x).” With a split steel harness and no cable guard, the bow sight is just so calm. It is hard to
comprehend sometimes that it can just sit there dead steady for up to 20 and 30 seconds. This is especially helpful in a tournament situation when we are slightly tense. On Sunday. 1 never doubted that every arrow 1 released would land in ten ring land. I just don't operate like that. Believe me. 1 like to get the shot off in about 9 seconds, normally. In the past if I tried to “over hold” or “over aim." and I forced the shot, the arrow would land slightly low left. Sometimes these would be good smooth shots, but often they could be just out of the ten ring due to the change in oxygen levels in the muscle tissues. Now, 1 can hold the bow for as long as is humanly possible, and when the arrow lands, it is still dead center. 1 have witnessed this phenomenon several hundred times so far. It is just the sweetest sensation to be free of the cable guard torque. I can honestly say I will never look the same at any bow still using a cable guard system. Try it — 1 put my word on it. Shooting 600-120X again at Tulsa was an immense thrill 1’11 never forget. I am happy to be part of such a competitive sport. I really enjoy showing others the secret of shooting flawless archery. If you are having problems, 1 am only a phone call or an e-mail away. •

New Products Golden Eagle Introduces Brave II™ Odessa, FL — First impressions arc everything to a young person. The rate at which they assimilate to new situations is, in large part, determined by their very first experience with it. Archery is no different.

The Brave II is available in cither black or Advantage camo. Options include the Brave four arrow bow quiver and the Brave sight which will make the Brave II even more accurate and fun to shoot.

Hoyt USA Helps Dealers Get Started With Youth Archery Salt Lake City, UT - In the spring of 1998, the Marketing Department at Hoyt put together a program to promote youth groups, and took it on the road. The all day seminar was devoted to the key subjects required to begin and continue with a successful youth archery program. A level one instructor's course was conducted in
conjunction with the seminar to round out a day of, “Growing the Sport of Archery.”
Hoyt USA is proud to announce the success of their efforts. In seven seminars conducted across the US, over 25 new clubs were started with 82 new coaches certified as NAA Level One instructors! At last count, over 30% had already signed up to take a Level Two course. Seminar evaluations from the attendees were very positive with comments like:
•
“The seminar was very well presented and packed with information and ideas, “
•
“ The class was informal and informative, making it a fun and enjoyable day of inspiration.”
Kevin Jones of the Outdoor Sportsman in Spokane, WA had this to say, “ For anyone wishing to start a youth program, the seminar was packed with enough exciting information to get someone started in the right direction.” Since attending the seminar, the Outdoor Sportsman now has seven NAA Level Two instructors and is thankful to Hoyt for getting them started with so many useful tools.
Hoyt USA would like to thank all of the individuals that provided their input to make this seminar a successful and rewarding experience. From all of the enthusiasm we witnessed, the future of our sport is in good hands.

Browning® Turns Up The Volume with New “Blood Brother”™ Rocket! The ad says ... Thc"Blood Brother is just another bow like Ted Nugent is just another guitar player.” You don’t really need to go much farther. The new Blood Brother bow. the collaboration between archery’s fastest rising star and music’s most dynamic, enduring super nova, is everything you would expect. Smooth Shooting — Power Archcry. That’s exactly what everyone wanted, Ted and Browning Archcry just delivered it. Tire Blood Brother, like its meaning, is the “joining together of kindred spirits.” It is the spiritual and physical joining together as one, the highest tech and the purist tradition. It has a natural feel and look with its graceful recurve limbs and sculptured, machined riser. It looks like it belongs with you as you become one with the woods. It is a smooth, forgiving bow to shoot due. in part, to its very special, 16” laminated. recurve limbs. 41" axle to axle length and 65% let-off Heat Cams. It is also a fast shooting bow due to those same, lightweight Heat Cams and the recurve limbs that store more energy for a faster shot. Throw in the tunable S-4 Synthetic Yoke which equalizes limb tip load, reduces noise and aids in easy cam timing and it's easy to see why this is the bow Ted built and the bow he hunts with. Travis Hall, spokesman for Browning Archery says. "Anyone who has ever met Ted Nugent will agree his energy and raw enthusiasm arc unique. It was only natural that the bow he would want to take into the woods would reflect this power. The Blood Brother is a great bow, fast, forgiving and aesthetically pleasing. It is not your every day. run of the mill bow any more than Ted is just your every day, run of the mill guitar player."
“Fire in the Hole” Says it all for Browning® Backdraft™! It just doesn’t get much better than this. Take one, hot shooting, hot selling bow. the Browning Backdraft. tack on a precision machined riser. add in 4 hand laid,TechForcc Split Limbs, Browning's unique sound dampening AccuVent Limb Pockets and then string it all up to Browning's hot new OmniBumer Cam and you have a single cam bow that truly lives up to its name. Travis Hall, spokesman for Browning Archery had this to say about the upgraded Backdraft. "The Backdraft was incredibly popular last year but when we looked at the total line and added the new items such as the OmniBumer Cam, we just could not stop there. The Backdraft is an improved bow in every sense of the word. We know archers everywhere who are looking for a quality made, smooth drawing, fast shooting bow for hunting or 3-D arc going to love this bow." The Backdraft is available now at your local Brow ning dealer in "Apparition" Realtree. Royal Blue. Metallic Red and Pearl in various draw lengths and weights.
