Take two simple steps for better accuracy all year Mount a new Consisti-Grip™ from Savage Systems on your riser, and you can say goodbye to the inconsistent hand placement that is the number one cause of poor accuracy. We make it in a machined version for straight grips, and in the molded version shown that fits any compound. Just attach it with the strong self-adhesive strip, w and the finger loops will guide your hand into the right position even if your eyes are on a deer. _ So you can concentrate on making Wk the shot, add one of our pendulum ’ sights to your bow before you head out hunting this fall. From a treestand, you’ll no longer have to estimate range or decide which pin to use. Just aim dead on and shoot! Savage Pendulums double as ground sights without any lockdowns, and they come with a wide choice of pins. The Night Hawk One pin shown on this Savage Featherweight Pendulum uses tritium power to shine 24 hours a day for 10 years, yet it is Pope & Young legal.

College World Team Championships Bangkok, Thailand July 12, 2002 Kristine Ehrich at the Texas Shootout. 2001, in College Station
Editors note: Thank you to A. Ron Carmichael of the Texas State Archery Association for forwarding this to our attention.
What a difference a little dedication can make! A collegiate archer, Kristine Ehrich of the University of Texas at Austin, has been an archer for just a few years. She’s been a compound archer since I met her. but this last season she started shooting barebow. Her innate ability really showed when during the 118th NAA National Target Championship this last week, she shattered record after record in her quest for excellence. Tom Parrish deserves some credit as her coach, but Christine is the reason that NINE out of TEN existing records in female senior barebow archery fell. I had the pleasure of assisting in scoring on her target for a few of the rounds, and she was really “on” with her shooting but you could not have guessed from her attitude which was just as positive and happy as it always is. I had no idea just how good her performance really was at the time, till I heard how many records she now owns. Wow! 210
Kristine was the mother hen/ coordinator for the recent Collegiate World Team Championships held in Bangkok. Thailand, (see her writeup below) She was instrumental in helping to acquire funding for these lay-about college students who suddenly discovered they had to travel half-way around the globe. and didn't have “boo” in travel funds to begin their journey with. She’s written up their travails and experiences, and I’m pleased to include them in the next article (below) of this newsletter. Kristine is a special person in many ways, let alone archery. I’m also including pictures and input from Chris Shull, one of our premier recurve male archers. Chris, like Vic Wunderle, has the presence and awareness of what his position as one of America’s best archers obligates him to - always courteous and willing to relate to the young archers who approach him as well as the old. Between these archers, Kristine, Vic, Chris, and the others, I feel sure that the present and future of archery is in good hands. Future editions of the NAA’s official magazine, Archery Focus will have Chris’ writeups of the event. 1982 - 20th Anniversary - 2002
Collegiate World Team Championships Bangkok, Thailand Editor’s preface: Kristine has submitted a text that 1 could not find ONE misspelling in. not one. THAT alone is remarkable, compared to what I see commonly among youth (and myself) today! (And I. not Kristine, added the photos of the author to this story) As you read this story, I promise you will find it extremely well composed and written, not to mention entertaining and informative. Way to go, Kristine! I promised that 1 would extract from the collegiate archers a writeup of their experience if you would only help them to “stand the line” for the US. A couple months ago, these collegiate archers (as young folks are wont to do) woke up in a whole new world and discovered that they were able to represent the USA in an word class archery tournament in Bangkok, Thailand if only they could manage to get there first. If you went through college on a shoe-string budget, you know how daunting a sudden 2000 dollar airline ticket would seem! We appealed to you in this newsletter, and MANY, many of you responded with donations to help them get there (and back. of course:). They made the trip. They kicked some major collegiate butt. They did well, in other words. Kristine, in between shattering the long-standing records as a barebow archer at the NAA Nationals, came through with her promise to write us something about the experience! Here begins her story:
Report on the 4th World University Archery Championships Chonburi, Thailand July 9-13, 2002 This is a short report of some of our experiences and the results of the tournament. On one hand, since this was my first opportunity to be team leader for an archery event, I don’t have much experience when I say this was quite a successful trip, however, on the other hand, 1 do follow the teams closely in their THE U.S. and INTERNATIONAL ARCHER
ventures around the world and think that I have some credence in stating our overall success. We did GRRrrrreat! All 12 athletesand 3 staff members met at the airport in Seattle. We then flew from Seattle to Tokyo, Tokyo to Bangkok and on the return the flights were Bangkok to Tokyo, Tokyo to LAX, LAX to hometown airport (perhaps with another connection in the middle of that one). There seemed to be only one incident of concern on the way to Seattle. We all know that airport security has increased since 9/11, and I think that is a good thing - however, there arc definite limits as to what should be questioned. One of the archers packed his release in his carry-on bag and. although we know full well that it would cause no danger, it seemed to cause concern for the airport personnel. He tried to explain to security what it was and what it was used for, but they only were interested in "what it COULD be used for, uh yeah, that would be. Anyway, he was required to check it at the door to the plane and we were assured it would arrive in Bangkok with the rest of our luggage - as it did. Lesson: Pack your release in your checked luggage. The rest of the trip over to Bangkok was uneventful. We arrived at the Bangkok airport at 11 PM on July 8"1 and were immediately greeted by our liaison, Ning, who is a third year English major at Burapha University (where the Championships were held). It was wonderful to be assigned a liaison all our own as the USA team kept her quite busy. Ning led us through customs and to getting our luggage and equipment. We loaded the bus to travel to Chonburi (about a two hour drive from Bangkok). Although everything fit, the actual loading took a bit longer than anticipated and required some special maneuvering. It seems that they were not quite prepared for exactly how much equipment 12 archers would have! Of course, although it probably only took 30 minutes to load the bus. it felt like much longer since everyone was tired and HOT - even though it was midnight! I can nearly guarantee you one thing: the archers who went on this trip will not soon be complaining about the hot and humid weather in Texas or in any part of the US, for that matter. We were soon to find out that the heat and humidity of that night at the airport in Bangkok was nothing compared to the heat and humidity during the day! On the ride to Chonburi, Ning gave us some literature on the area, an updated schedule of events and answered any questions that we had. We arrived at the hotel around 2 AM and were welcomed with fresh coconut milk alongside our room keys and our meal tickets for the upcoming day. Three meals a day, buffet style, were provided at the hotel. July 9'h was an un-official practice day and we used the practice field at the University from 2-5 PM. There was no bottled water available on the practice field that day. but our liaison quickly took care of that by going to the local 7-Eleven and buying two liters of water for each person on our team. We returned to the hotel following practice and went to dinner, which consisted of seafood stews and chicken dishes over rice, lots of fresh fruit, fresh baked dinner rolls and much bottled water. I can’t give you a true idea of how much water we went through in a week literally hundreds and hundreds, easily approaching a thousand of bottles of water! More on that later... July 10lh was official practice and opening ceremonies day. Recurve women and compound men practiced in the morning with recurve men and compound women in the afternoon. We were scheduled to ride in a bus with all of the other teams to and from the hotel/competition field, but I talked with our liaison on the first day and explained that we really wanted to get to the field sooner than they had planned for the rest of the competitors (they had planned to leave the hotel 15 minutes before official practice began) so they arranged for there to be two vans that September-October 2002 - Visit our website at www.usarcher.com
College Team that participated in Thailand were dedicated only to the US team. They transported us from the hotel to the competition field and back each day. (editor’s note: way to go, Kristine!) Practice went smoothly and although it was very hot and very humid, everyone seemed to stay well hydrated. We likely weren’t quite staying as well hydrated as we thought, since as we poured it in, it poured out in sweat. But - everyone was feeling well and no one became ill. Towards the end of the day one of the security officers came and explained to us that we (the US team) needed to be sure and stick together throughout the week - making sure that people didn’t go off on their own and stray from the group. They were quite concerned for our safety and had assigned a special police force whose duty was to protect our team. We held a team meeting that evening explaining the importance of this to the athletes and they seemed to understand it quite well. Opening ceremonies were very nice and entertaining, although long (over 2 hours) and we all were anxious to leave the field by the end. There was a ‘welcome dinner’ that evening at a nearby resort hotel with much traditional Thai food served. We arrived home by 10 PM that evening ready to prepare for the start of competition the next day. July 11“’ was the qualification round (72 arrows at 70 meters) for all competitors. As you can see. we did quite well in the ranking round The results of the US team are as follows: Men’s Recurve: Rank Name 1st Half/Rank2nd Half/RankScorcHits 10’s X’s 4 Vic Wundcrle 324/3 324/5 648 72 21 3 326/3 636 17 7 6 Chris Shull 310/12 72 5 622 72 15 13 Guy Krueger 307/15 315/11 Women’s Recurve: Rank Name 1st Half/Rank2nd Half/Rank ScoreHits 10’s X’s 599 15 2 72 13 Ashley Kamuf301/12 298/13 72 14 Lorinda Cohen 298/14 297/15 595 5 3 290/17 591 71 9 5 16 Dawn Chudy 301/13 Men’s Compound: Rank Name 1st Half/Rank2nd Half/Rank Score Hits 10's X’s 41 14 I Adam Wheateroft345/1 343/2 688 72 327/8 666 72 35 11 6 Caleb Heller 339/2 20 9 644 72 317/18 15 Eric Zahn 327/11 Women's Compound: Rank io’s :K’s Name 1st Half/Rank 2nd Half/Rank Score Hits 14 42 72 1 Amber Dawson 342/1 339/1 681 12 25 3 Megan Bowker 329/3 319/5 648 72 24 8 72 4 Mary Zorn 318/4 323/3 641
By the end of this day, the team was growing a bit tired of seafood stew and really wanted to have some ■■American" food - so they opted for pizza - go figure! We talked with Ning and she arranged for a van to transport us to a pizzeria in a mall about 30 minutes from the hotel. Being able to spend some time in an airconditioned building and eat some great pizza was really appreciated by the athletes. Some opted for McDonalds and others found Kentucky Fncd Chicken - but in the end. all were happy! I did have a funny thing happen as we were shopping for souvenirs in the mall after dinner: I found some great gifts and used my VISA card to purchase them. 1 never sign the back of my credit cards. 1 simply put "See ID" on the strip where your signature is required and then after I sign the receipt the store clerk looks at my driver’s license or passport, sees my picture and signature and all is good. All is good in the US, that is. In Thailand, “See ID" looks nothing like "Kristine R. Ehrich" and that caused the store clerk some distress. Especially since he didn’t speak English and couldn’t understand when 1 tried my best to explain to him what it said and what exactly ‘See ID" meant. “Just look at my identification that is a picture of me. and that is my signature - and it matches the one that I've put on the bottom of the receipt - see?" No. clearly he didn't see - he didn’t understand it at all. After about 2 minutes of trying to explain my logic to the clerk and clear things up. I looked at Tom and shrugged. I politely took the receipt from the clerk - the one on which I had already signed Kristine R. Ehrich - and right beside my signature on the bottom of the receipt 1 wrote, “See ID". The clerk took one look
at it. nodded and happily packed up my things and I was on my way! Live and leam! Half of the group, accompanied by another Thai liaison by the name of Nut. had spent the afternoon at a local wildlife area where they played with elephants. monkeys, lions and tigers. The report back from our athletes was that it was a great time! Get this Chudy and Ashley Kamuf even got “elephant massages"! They’ll have to explain to you exactly what those are. but I have heard that the elephants are extremely gentle! It has to do with lying on the ground on your stomach, a blanket covering your back - and then having the elephant (yes, full grown - monster-sized elephants) "gently” pressing his or her foot on your back repeatedly! One sneeze and that would have been the end of two-thirds of our women’s recurve team! Lorinda Cohen was video taping this whole ordeal - but the tape is quite ‘jumpy’ as she was laughing too hard to hold it steady!! July 12* was the individual elimination day. All of our men’s recurve individuals had byes in their first round. In the 1/16 round. Guy Krueger defeated Jouni Simila of Finland 160-146. Vic Wunderle defeated Yew Kuin Cheah of Singapore 164-128 and Chris Shull defeated Pcrttu Ronlenan of Finland 155-143. In the 1/8 round. Guy and Vic faced each other with Guy coming away with a victory of 159158. Chris defeated Wen-Pin Su of Chinese Taipei 150-149. In the quarterfinals. Guy beat Tadashi Matsuzaki of Japan 111 -95 and Chris beat Jong-Sang Jung of Korea 108-103 to advance to the semifinals. In the semifinals. Guy lost to the eventual gold medal winner.

Chris was defeated by Aurelien Daux of France 108-105. That pitted Chris and Guy against each other for the bronze medal. Guy came away with the medal after the score was tied 105-105, forcing a tiebreaker and winning 10-8. Chris took 4'h place, while Vic came in II1*'. In the women’s recurve individual eliminations all three of our athletes advanced past the 1/16 bracket with Ashley Kamuf defeating Pawalcc YoungYuen of Thailand 143-114.

Jeong-A Park of Korea. 161-153, by shooting a perfect 60 on her last end. Ashley lost a close one to Almudena Gallardo Vicente of Spain. 154152 and Lorinda lost to number three seed Hyung-Hcc Kim of Korea 166-135. In the quarterfinals. Dawn defeated Sayamt Matsushita of Japan 105-103 to advance to the semifinals where she defeated Hsin1 Chen of Chinese Taipei 101-100. In the gold medal match. Dawn came away with the silver, losing to Mun-Joung Kim of Korea 109-101. Ashley came in 11 “ place and Lorinda took Id1*. In the men’s compound elimination rounds. Eric Zahn defeated Richard Wilkens of Great Britain 156-155 to advance to the 1/8 finals where he was defeated by Andrea D’ Alessandro of Italy 162-153. Caleb Heller defeated Arnaud Guilleret of France 166-157 and Adam Wheatcroft defeated Worapath Doungcharem of Thailand 168-157. In the quarterfinals. Caleb was defeated by Mark Poels of Nederland 111-108 and Adam beat Pierre Misraki of France I 11-107. Adam beat Boris Venot of France 111-109 in the semifinals and went on to win the gold medal handily over Timothy Mundon of Great Britain. 116-108. Caleb took 6“ place and Eric IS1* place overall. In women’s compound, all three of our women won their quarterfinal matches. Amber Dawson beat Nuttida Thongpan of Thailand 110-103, Mary Zom beat Eva Ansaloni of Italy 108-102 and Megan Bowker defeated Flammetta Scarzctta of Italy 102-94. That pitted Amber and Mary against each other in the semi-finals where Mary came out triumphant 113-109. Megan lost to Yi-Ting Huang of Chinese Taipei 109-105. In the bronze medal match, again two of our archers shot against each other - Amber defeated Megan in a tiebreaker of 10-9 after they both shot a 111 in the match. This gave Amber the bronze medal and Megan 4“ place. Mary went on to win the gold medal THE U.S. and INTERNATIONAL ARCHER
by a commanding 113-104 win over YiTing Huang of Chinese Taipei. Oh yes, 1 said I would get back to the intake of water story, didn't I? Following the individual gold medal matches, each archer is required to submit to a drug test. I’m going to take the liberty of telling you one of the funny stories of the trip - I’m sure our “unnamed” archer won’t mind I had said that all of the archers were drinking plenty of water, and it is true that they were really pouring it in. Andin mind, no one became ill. felt dehydrated. complained of anything, etc. Each gold medallist has to have a witness go with him or her to the drug-testing site, so I went with. Upon arriving at the site, we were shown the urine containers and told to wait on the sofa until she felt ready to submit. We were also told that there was a refrigerator with bottled water in it - just in case it was needed. Our gold-medallist grabbed a bottle of water as we were leaving the tournament Held and had finished it be the time we got to the drug testing site. She grabbed another from the refrigerator as soon as we arrived. We sat on the sofa, she took another bottle of water, sat some more, took another bottle of water, sat some more you see a trend here? In all, she drank 7 bottles of water in the 40 minutes that we sat there -1 don’t need to tell you her name - I’m sure you know it. but I will tell you that she became affectionately known as ‘Water” by the locals! July 13“’ was the team round day. Team rounds were scored a bit different than traditional team rounds. These were called academic team rounds where it was a hit or miss system. The ’hit’ zone counting for one point, was yellow and the size of the 9 ring on a 122 cm face; the rest of the face was red and was the ‘miss’ zone and counted 0 points. In the men’s recurve division, we had a bye in the 1/8 round and lost a close one to Italy in the quarterfinals. 18-16. Italy also beat our women’s recurve team in the quarterfinals, 11-8. Our women’s compound team had a bye in the semifinals and beat Italy in the gold medal match by a margin of 22-14. Our men's compound team beat Great Britain 23-13 in the semifinals and went on to win the gold medal against France 23-20. In all, we came away with 8 out of our 12 athletes medal ling.

Following this we were again taken to the nearby resort hotel and treated to a farewell dinner and ceremony. We munched on sautgrasshoppers as an appetizer (delicious, I must say) and Vic fed the bats that were flying through the air by throwing pieces of bread at them. We left around 10 PM which was before the dinner ended, but we needed to get back to our hotel since we had to meet in the lobby of the hotel at 2:00 am to load the bus and leave for the airport. Upon arriving at the airport in Bangkok, Ning (our Thai liaison) led us through customs and to the international flight area. The flight to Tokyo was fine as was the flight from Tokyo to LAX. However, the connections at LAX were a little too tight
September-October 2002 - Visit our website at www.usarcher.com
and some of our athletes missed their planes to their final destinations and were made to watt for the next flight out. The heightened security and busy airports require more time between connections, especially connections in the US when arriving from an international flight. Another lesson All in all. a great trip. Quite successful. and I’m almost certain that if given the chance to go again, all of the archers would jump at the opportunity. I hope you enjoy the recap of the events. I can't possibly write of all of the happenings, but hopefully you can get a feel for both the tournament and some of the side events.

Everyone has heard by now lhat "if you vant to win ... you have to shoot with back tension." However, back tension seems to be a mysterious feeling that most archers never understand or experience. Professional level archery teaches us that you don't have to do it right... you just have to do it the same every time! But, understanding this simple concept can be complicated. The best way for most people to do it the same every time is to keep the conscious mind occupied with something else and let their body release the arrow automatically, through "muscle memory" (subconscious). This “muscle memory" is really a previously learned and stored program that is on the shelf in a huge warehouse, inside the memory section of the subconscious mind. Thousands of these programs arc stored there and. when we need to do a particular set of actions like walking or writing your name or shooting an arrow, our conscious mind selects the one we need. It's loaded into the huge master computer tn the motor movement section of the subconscious mind. The conscious mind then pushes the button to start the program. forgets about it, and then operates the guidance system (which would be aiming in this example). This program is delivered to the muscles through the central nervous system. Thus, the term “muscle memory" is really a misnomer... muscles don't really have a memory! So, if we trust this program to work on its own. then our conscious mind can be free to focus on aiming and not go back and push the manual override button. or "auto-pilot" and take the program away from the subconscious. These so-called, "muscle memory" programs arc capable of duplicating a set of actions so closely that, when you sign your name, a handwriting expert can pick your signature out of a thousand others, every time! However, ifyou try to write your name with your other hand that you didn't have a program for, you have to direct that hand consciously. Every time you wrote your name with the un programmed hand, it would be a little different (until you developed a subconscious program with that hand). Can you see now how important these programs are to any discipline, especially archery! Remember... everything done consciously 1982 - 20th Anniversary - 2002
will be anticipated, and if you anticipate it. you will judge it. If you judge it. you will change (fix/correct) it. Also remember anything done subconsciously cannot be anticipated. You blink 20,000 times a day. How often do you anticipate that happening? (Other than the blink you are about to do. to sec if you'll really anticipate it!) First, why do you want to shoot with back tension? As you probably know by now. the real reason is because nearly all of us will anticipate the release if it’s not a surprise. and back tension is the easiest way to effect a consistent surprise release. The mind can only focus on one thing at a lime. .. it's either aiming or it's "doing the release." so pick one... it can't do both! If you're "doing the release." your mind is on the release, not the target and you'll lose control of the pin (or "sight picture" for instinctive shooters). If you want to keep the pin in the middle, your conscious mind should continuously focus on the spot you want to hit... not try to hold the sight in the middle of the target! This causes most people to try to over-control the sight and leads some uninformed coaches with big resumes to preach that conscious aiming is the problem ... not the solution. Their solution is... focus consciously on your release or back tension, and the sight will subconsciously stay in the middle! But. for 99% of us. this doesn't work. Only a handful of shooters can focus on something other than the target. Your eyes can put the sight in the center, but they can’t keep it there! The mind is the only thing that can keep it there! Analyzing the Release A surprise release is pretty tough to achieve if you do it the way most shooters do. Since a finger or thumb are in contact with the trigger on the release aid. or in the case ofa finger shooter directly on the string. it’s impossible for most of us not to anticipate the release, because of the thousands of tactile sensory receptors on the tips of our fingers. These receptors are so sensitive that they can feel the difference between one and two sheets of paper that you arc holding between your index finger and your thumb. That's 0.002" (two thousandths of an inch)! So obviously, they can feel when a trigger on a release moves even slightly, and sends a message to the conscious mind to “Get THE U.S. and INTERNATIONAL ARCHER
ready! It’s going to go oft" This creates anticipation. When that message, sent by what I call “the smart muscles" hits the brain, it alerts the senses and the entire body. It interrupts and overrides any concentration you may have had on aiming, and you lose control of the sight picture (again, because your mind was controlling it, not your eyes). Now, your mind has left the sight picture and has gone directly to the “let-go” or trigger system. It has shut offthe automatic subconscious program, and is now going to run it manually (consciously) so as to be able to control it! That’s what screws up the shot. Of course, we've all been there, haven't we? If somehow we had a way to set it off without any warning ... well, that’s why most everyone who wins does it with back tension. That’s because the back muscles have comparatively few tactile receptors and they aren’t in direct contact with the release trigger or string. They can't accurately calibrate exactly when and where the trigger is, and therefore call or command the attention of the mind. at any given point in the execution part of the shot, like the fingers can. These "stupid muscles" as I call them, help keep our conscious mind from “anticipating the explosion." by not The new "Bernie’s Missing Link" Back calling attention to Tension release See ad on page 219. themselves. Pulling with the hack muscles can, with focused and repetitious training, he put on the trusted, subconscious level, thusfreeing the conscious mind to do nothing but aim!

From the Senior Corner By Joe Bauernfeind
Author Joe Bauernfeind Once again, the Senior Comer is open and bids you a warm welcome. At the end of the last article, as you may remember, 1 was laying my plans to win the elusive silver bowl at the NFAA Outdoor Nationals. Step #1 - move into a brand new division where everyone is 65 or older. Step #2-Check the birth certificate of everyone without eyeglasses, a hearing aid and a limp. Step #3 - Offer bow tuning tips and inside information on the yardage cuts to those who pass Step #2. What a plan! How could 1 fail against these old codgers after weeks of practice and fine tuning myself and my equipment to a razors edge? Little did I realize that somewhere in that sea of wrinkled faces and graying hair there still beat a competitive heart or two or three or more. These guys come to have fun for sure but they also come to win and that's what makes the new Master Senior class such a great idea. These long time supporters of Field Archery now have a place to shoot where they can once again be competitive. Well I guess like they say, the best laid plans of mice and men, etc., etc. Once again the wily old pro. Dean Pridgen, had a better plan than I did. His plan included having a place large enough to be able to build his own 14 target field range and using it every day during the

outdoor archery season as well as having a building large enough to shoot 20 yards during the winter lull. Needless to say, he got the bowl but the rest of us came away with a lot of great memories to last us through the long winter months until we can meet again in Darrington next year. I did notice one thing which I thought was interesting. The Masters were on the same range as the youths and cubs each day. Are they trying to tell us something? If they have us assemble at the flagpole next year and assign scorekeepers to go out with us I’m going back with the young guys. Just kidding, although after watching some of the efforts at adding up the scores after the round it might not be a bad idea, maybe a spotter to call arrows too. We had ‘'Red" Christiansen spotting in our group most of the week and it was ’‘Well........... you’re just OUT of the left side of the................... (3 second pause) X”. Again I’m just pulling a little chain here on the ‘Ol Redhead. We all had a great time all week. except for the one short dark, rainy period on Tuesday. How could anyone shoot a five day Nationals in Watkins Glen and not have a great time. The “hili’’ is one of the sacred places of Field Archery, where the spirits of some of the greatest names in our sport still reside. Everywhere you turn there are memories of the great tournaments of the past, dating back to 1951. The ranges still exist as they were then, just waiting to be uncovered and spruced up for the big tournaments of the future. Even some of the original target signs still can be seen, weather beaten and grown into the trees but still in place after all those years. If we ever lose the Glen, then I would fear for the future of our sport but it’s places like this that keep us coming back to be with old friends and older memories. If we could just get some of those who dropped out over the years to come back for a reunion the next time the Nationals is here, maybe the spark would light a new fire and the attendance would return to the levels of the ‘60's, ’70’s and ‘80’s. Sure, the target is smaller and harder to hit and the equipment technology is mind boggling in its complexity but the flight of an arrow arching toward the target is still the same. If you’ve never stood at the bar in the Seneca Lodge and looked up at the championship arrows shot onto the wall by the winning archers from years past, all the way from wooden shafts with barred feathers up to today’s carbons with plastic vanes and had a cold one with a friend and get a S2 bill for change, if you’ve never stood under the farewell arrow logs from the shoots gone by. some of them with 7 or 8 hundred arrows in them, or the earliest one from 1951 with its wooden arrows and broadheads, if you’ve never gone down the hill into town for an ice cream cone in the evening and sat talking archery for an hour with your buddies, you’ve missed out on the best part of being a field archer.

Don’t miss out on the next chance to enjoy archcry al its best. Start making your plans now for Darrington and beyond. Enough of the past, the present brought us archcry at its best this year at the Glen. The second perfect score ever shot at a Nationals was recorded by Joe Kapp in Thursday's Hunter round, putting his name next to Terry Ragsdales in the NFAA record books. That still leaves the perfect Field round as the last remaining prize to be plucked. Who will be the first to claim the ultimate honor? As far as 1 know 559 is still the record. Speaking of records. Ginger Morehead. a 3D Pro just getting her feet wet in Field Archery, shot an amazing 556 Field round on Monday and added a 555 Hunter Round on that dark, rainy Tuesday to finish the first two days only 2 points shy of the top two male Pros. Dave Cousins and Doug Williams. Ginger went on to win over Michelle Ragsdale in a very competitive Women's Pro Division. Dave went on to win another Men’s Pro title with Doug coming in a close second. The scores once again were well into the mid 50's with the Pro field being one of the strongest in quite awhile. In the Men's Freestyle, perennial contender Jay Bradway scored a very popular win. shooting a 557 along the way. After coming so close in Detroit Lakes several years ago. Jay hung in there and got the bowl he’s worked so hard for. Good goin’ buddy. Doug Newbury seems to have a lock on the Senior Freestyle Division, winning for the second year in a

Both of these guys would have finished well in the top flight of the Men’s Freestyle Division. I fear that next year Larry may be moving into the Masters Division. I’m going to see if Dean will rent me a room at his place so we can work together to keep Larry in check. Larry, by the way. took some great pictures which you see in the next issue. A real jack of all trades. He also coached girlfriend Sue Weinstein to a silver bowl in the Adult Female Freestyle Division. We had to coax Sue to shoot her championship arrow into the wall at the Lodge though. She was afraid she’d miss. It’s a thrill to witness those arrows being shot and even a bigger thrill to get to shoot one. There are so many other stories to tell but it’s not fair for me to tell all. You’ll have to come and see for yourself next time. Until then, shoot ’em straight and get a friend into Field Archery.

History Lesson By Roger W. Breternitz Ch.T. Roger H'. Breternitz Ch. T.
This article is about one of THE most important determining factors in your win/loss record in any sport. Il is what allows.. .yes.. .allows you victory or snatches defeat from the jaws of victory (no typo) when you're just about to win. Your belief system is what tells you that you deserve to win or deserve to NOT win. and it has nothing to do with how much you practice, what you cat. how you train or the amount of quality instruction you have or how many books you have read on the subject. Everything you have; the house, apartment, trailer, camper, or car you live in is a direct result of your belief system. The person you married, live with, date or want to date.. .is a result of that same belief system. The job you toil at. and your success thereof is a result of ...right again...your belief system. So. is it any wonder that this same belief system controls if you win or lose? Now all of us WANT to win. sure, why not. So why don't all of us tie for first place at each competitive outing? I’m sure there are other factors that influence winning or losing, but. over time a pattern emerges of winning and not winning, in everything we do. How come when we come out on top in one area of our life, we repeat that experience in another area that nothing to with the previous area? Winning is contagious, and it works just the opposite way on the other side of the coin. If you lose in a competition the attitude it

creates can cause negative consequences in other areas of your life that arc totally separate from the contest just mentioned. Why is this? Back to the original subject., .our belief system. What we truly believe about something is usually what makes it so. “As a man thinkith, so is he". So let’s look at what brings about a belief system. The first thing is up-bringing. Children raised in a home where positive thinking is not only the norm, but taught and encouraged. and negative thinking is DiScouraged, are usually above average in every area of their life. Their parents who are positive thinkers are role models, and the child grows up with a belief system that he or she CAN do “IT”, what ever IT is. So when they get into sports and competition they have this positive attitude to carry them through the times when they encounter adversity (and there always is) until they overcome the competition and come out a winner. THEN.. .this coming out a winner starts the second tier of positive your positive attitude which is the REAL shaper ofbehefsystems.. .PERSONAL HISTORY. Your personal history starts a “Chicken or the egg" syndrome. If you have a winning personal history this causes a positive belief system that intern causes you to win in most contests with competitors of the same degree of proficiency.. .which in turn creates more positive personal history, causing you to be even more of a winner. Now...take the reverse of this situation. Child grows up with parents telling him/her how stupid they are. “Close that door ‘ya dumb kid, 'ya bom in a bam"...and other negative comments that create a negative belief system. Now when this youngster enters a contest (no matter what the playing field, sports, w'ork. social) he/she has doubts about their abilities, and these doubts make for a slim chance of them coming out a winner. Now the pattern is set, the coming years arc only reflections of the past performances. If you know anything about a copy machine you know the copy can be only a lesser reflection of the original, and if you have a copy of a copy of a copy over and over again the last copy looks pretty bad. This is what happens when negative belief systems are copied in personal history over and over again.. .it’s all down hill. So.. .how does this relate to us shooting better scores and coming out a winner? Take a good look at your own belief systems. How do you look past the surface and get to the REAL subconscious belief? One way is to begin to NOTICE what you think about. Thoughts are THINGS, and they are a manifestation of what our inner belief systems really are. Our thoughts materialize our world, and in this case our ability to win or NOT win. Do you think about how you would really like to shove your boss down the mail chute, how you'd like to pul your 4WD in 4WD and climb right over that idiot in front of you that is not turning right on red because he's talking on his cell phone while checking his Rolex? We all would like to sometimes. but it’s what DON1NATES your thoughts that makes you a winner, and that's what you want to look at. What dominates your thinking? Is it positive or negative? The first step is to NOTICE what you arc thinking about, instead ofjust thinking. Do you concentrate on your problems or your successes when your mind wanders? The answer to this question may hold the answer to how your belief systems are formed. The mind is like a loop tape recorder; it plays BACK to the listener what has been recorded in the last 8 to 12 hours. So.. .if the last 8 hours have been fantastic you’re going to get a lot of positive feed back which will bring a lot of positive feelings, and probably attract more positive future events...sadly if the opposite is tnic.

you’re goin’n downhill on roller-skates into a flaming brick wall! Oh, I almost forgot...this is about archery, and winning! How do we restructure our belief systems to become a winner without spending more time on the practice range, more time with our instructor, and buying a new bow? Here are some tips: NOTICE when you are being negative in your thoughts. This is the first step to restructuring our belief system. You cannot cure a problem until you admit it exists. NOTICE your self-talk. We all talk to ourselves when we do negative things. Minimize our negative speech patterns. Realize when you're saying things like "You idiot, why do you always have to........ " Once you realize you’re doing it ...quit! REPLACE negative self-talk with positive. Things like “ 1 need to relax, ...I need to follow through more, start each sentence with “I need to..." instead of "You idiot”! ACCEPT the results, win or lose with the knowledge you are a changing maturing person that ENJOYS the journey of improving your life (and your win/loss record) and realizes that the JOURNEY is sometimes more important than the destination.

LITTLE THINGS MEAN A LOT By Bob Ragsdale
Bob Ragsdale
Being successful requires attending to dozens of small details, each of which must remain stable the entire time. One failure that has happened to all of us at the worst possible lime is for a serving end somewhere on the bow to become loose or untied and we face a decision on how to proceed. My thoughts here arc to help those facing specifically this to consider everything involved and become prepared to make the better decision.

Believe it or not, the basic archery question heard 5-to-l over all others is: "How do I tic-off a serving end?’’ so it seems timely to make that a part of this since it is apparent everyone is not skilled at re-serving and maintaining bowstrings. PANIC TIME. In past articles concerning when and how to utilize your back-up (spare, ready-to-go) bow I mentioned that it is common for some people to immediately run for their backup rig for ridiculously simple situations, even one as minor as a serving end starting to work itself loose. Archer "A " sees the loose end and takes a moment to re-tic it and continues at a steady pace. Archer "B " sees it and thinks the world is coming to an end, panics and goes after the backup bow. Take a wild guess which of the 2 is the most likely to finish up as well as they expected by the end of the day? Even if Archer "B " is lucky enough to be able to make up any missed targets after the tournament, just the pressure of making the change is often enough of a trauma to disrupt their routine and game plan and ruin their day one way or another. For Archer "A " it took only moments to make an adequate repair and be back in the groove again. I’ve seen it happen many limes. Someone was perfectly set up and ready-to-go but suddenly feels it necessary to stop and even travel a great distance to retrieve and use their other "backup bow. " Few people manage to perform equally well after changing bows during a competition so I always advise never replacing the original bow unless absolutely necessary. In my mind a loose serving end should rarely if ever qualify as such. Naturally the sooner a loose serving end is discovered the better, and fortunately most arc noticed quite early. Peep sight servings, bowstring center servings and buss cable or bowstring end servings are all subject to “fail” by working themselves loose but generally they can be repaired on the spot quickly while sacrificing no more than a little time. PEEP SIGHT SERVING. I cannot express the seriousness of being certain that your peep sight cannot be popped out 1982 - 20th Anniversary - 2002
of the bowstring. Whether you serve-in or use crimp-on metal noc-sets in the areas above and below your peep, make certain they are so close that it is impossible for it to be forced out under any conditions. Understand that under normal shooting conditions most peeps will stay in the string without a restraint but the slightest variation from normal use may send it flying on its own. not to mention that it can easily slip up or down to compromise all your sight settings. For a finger shooter it can happen as easily as performing a really bad release, but more commonly anytime a bow is dry-fired either without an arrow or when the string rips through a cracked nock. Eyes arc temporarily injured quite frequently and there are a significant number permanently damaged each year, all because their peep sight was not properly restrained. Please take this information to heart. BOWSTRING CENTER SERVING. When a monofilament serving end works itself lose it is simply because the wrap area was not pulled tight enough or the end itself was not covered by enough "backwraps. " My rule has always been to have no less than 12 wraps over a monofilament serving end. When one end of any center serving comes untied we typically have the luxury of having plenty of material to work with so it can be re-tied easily since the loss of an inch or 2 of served area is unimportant. But it can be much more serious if the center serving is monofilament material because these are subject to suddenly unwind themselves for a considerable distance. When this happens it can still usually be re-tied on the spot but it can take significantly more time if a large area has to be re-wrapped tightly first. Generally, even if the served areas above or below your nocking point location end up shorter in length it is of no consequence. The worst problem one faces with monofiliment serving is when it breaks after wearing through where it brushes an armguard on every shot. The only alternative then is to tie it off below the nocking point and remove all serving THE U.S. and INTERNATIONAL ARCHER
below that and leave the string material itself unprotected for the remainder of the competition, which I’ve be obliged to do myself. Fortunately, in these days of braided serving made with very durable and very slick fiber materials, breakage from armguard wear is really a thing of the past. FIX IT AND FORGET IT. Take my advice and learn to take these things in stride and not let minor equipment failures destroy all the work you have done. Do everything you can to continue with your original bow, even when you have a spare bow you believe is ready to go. When you switch to your backup bow it fills you with doubt and frustration, but when you can continue with what you have you will probably be thinking more clearly and concentrating in the right areas even more than usual. Many perform better in the face of adversity, simply because they are concentrating on the situation and become even more focused than ever. IT TAKES PRACTICE TO BE ABLE TO MAKE TIES LIKE THIS. These special photos will help you envision the process but there is manual dexterity involved so some skill is required. Notice the intentionally oversized materials used in the photos to make them easier to visualize. Figure 1. PEEP SIGHT SAFETY If your peep docs not have a safety tie-ingroove around its circumference then serve it in lightly on each side to trap and hold it securely within the bowstring as shown here. To avoid relying on knots and extra serving ends the peep in the white string is shown extremely well secured with one continual strand. The route comes up from one side, then with a few wraps in the tiein safety’ groove and then down the other side and tied off with a secure back-wrap. Complete this tie after both the nocking point and the peep height locations are finalized and before final sight marks are made because this does not allow the peep location to be "touched up. " Figure 2. OVER-WRAP START. Simply “wrap over " the folded-back end using a portion long enough to assure it will be held tightly in place. Be sure to pull on the still exposed end to tighten the first few wraps before continuing to serve down. At a point about an inch from where you want it all to end, start the reverse back-wrap as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3. REVERSE BACK-WRAP. You’ll have to do this several times until you “get the feel of it. ” When making a repair on any end that has come untied. you will have to sacrifice a few inches of material to accomplish a back-wrap tie-off
Figure 1
with one finger as shown and then at 3 or 4 inches farther down start wrapping the tail portion INSIDE THE LOOP, FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE, IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION as shown. Note that the end of the "slack loop" held by the thumb is on the top side while the other end comes from the bottom side. Learn to confirm they are on opposite sides before beginning the inside-reverse wraps. The picture shows 11 or 12 reverse back-wraps waiting and the tail end placed under the last original wrap. You can then concentrate only on making more wraps in the normal direction while the backwrapped loops unwind to provide the material needed to complete the serving job. Figure 4. FINISH. Then, while holding the final wrap tightly with the other hand, which is not shown in the picture, gently pull that trapped and exposed tail enough to tighten up the entire back-wrapped section. Clip off the tail excess. Glue or melt the end if you like but 1 no longer find it necessary when using fiber serving material. There are many mistakes to be made in the process. but AFTER YOU’VE MADE ALL OF THEM A FEW TIMES you’ll soon become as skilled as anyone.
Figure 3
Physically Challenged Bowhunters of America, Inc.
Figure 4 so you must first un-wrap enough slack to work with. With a new installation you have all the material you need and can cut about an extra 12 or 14 inches of material at the point where the back-wrap will begin. Hold about a 2 inch "slack-loop"

On Target for Life By Roy Grimes
Jennie Richardson reports from Wayne County to Roy Grimes She's been down there for two days training three schools. She was able to do a shooting demonstration/ speech to the entire student body. The principal is GUNG HO! Archen- coordinator He said more than 100 students came up to him asking when they would have an after school archery club! Kids in ball sports were asking that the archery club meet later in the evening so they could participate after football, basketball, and baseball practice. During their planning period. EVERY teacher came into the gym and had Jennie show them how to shoot the bows. Five of the teachers spent their lunch in an archery competition (3 men and 2 women). At day's end there was an archery tournament among several of the students. The three top finishers were two girls and one boy. The top boy was a member of the band who said he had never been successful in sports before. The over-all winner was a young lady member of the choir who also said that PE wasn't her thing. Finally, the Principal. Mr. Burton at this middle school wants all of his teachers to become archery certified. They want to use archery examples in every class. Wow! Jennie will go to Mercer County tomorrow and Friday to repeat this exercise for about 5 teachers (three schools). These on-site training affairs were necessary to supplement our large classes. The Mercer County deal is a major success story where we’ve been able to finally get the PE teacher engaged.
Wishing you much success with this program. 222

New Products Robinhood Productions expands line of archery aids
Master Coach Bernie Pellerite of Robihood Video Productions has designed a new patented "shooter controlled” custom stabilizcr/dampening system called "Bernie's Control Freak Custom Stabilizers.” Bernie says. “It was going to be called “Bernie's ShockBlockin-NoiseTrappin-Flubberized-ModularHoldingSteadylizer". but 1 knew most people would probably have trouble spelling it!" Bemie has produced internal modules made from a secret, patented processed elastomer that is as soft as jelly with suspended weights molded inside them. These variable weighted “Flubberized™" modules (some with weights. some without! arc placed inside the stabilizer by the shooter, who
can move them around...front to back, back to middle etc. to produce a custom balanced stabilizer for his or her bow. The stabilizers come with screw off caps on one end and are available in 4 inch. 5 1/2 inch, 10 inch and 22 inch. Each end cap has an Oring and O-ring groove so they can be joined together to make up to a 36 inch stabilizer, or as long or short as the shooter prefers. They will be sent to you with any weight modules you request from 4 ounces to 30 ounces, depending on the module. Also available is a “canister-type" stabilizcr/back weight. The "can” has a removable top that has a threaded hole on both ends and will accept the I inch diameter “Control Freak" stabilizer, or any stabilizer, for that matter. It can also be used as a back weight. According to Mike Martin. Senior Pro Shooter. “It takes 90% of the vibration out of the shot. It's the best thing I've ever used!” The inertia is then dissipated by the jelly-like "flubberized" compound. These "flubberized patties" can be stacked inside the can in any configuration. There is also a patty with all the weights suspended on one side so you can offset the weight of your sight and rest, thus doing away with your V-bars. These "shock blocker" canisters called the “BossHog”, “Chubby" and "Pudgy" come in 2 3/4, 2 1/2 and 2 1/4 inch diameters respectively and are 2 1/2 inches tall. The entire “Control Freak" line comes in various colors. including camo. Bernie is also producing stackable stainless steel end weights, a quick disconnect, an offset bracket and V-bar bracket that fits any set-up. The 1 inch modular tubes are available now from Robinhood Productions. Bemie has also produced a new safe draw, pure back tension release called "Bernie's M issing Link™" and a new laser equipped training aid, called Bernie's Laz-Air™ Shot Trainer. The LazAir™ allows you to dry fire your bow without removing your arrow rest. For More information, call Bernie or Jan at Robinhood Productions, 614-933-001 1 or visit their website at www.robinhoodvideos. com.

New Proven Target Butt System Discovered Out West
New Products Stronger Night Hawk Sight Pins
Shine Steady For 10 Years Savage Systems is now marketing an improved version of the revolutionary Night Hawk Sight Pin it introduced in 2001. These pins are never without power and will shine 24 hours a day for 10 or more years. Their fiber optic aim points use ambient light as the power source during the day. During evenings, and even hunting predators in total darkness, the soft light of tritium allows you to focus on your target without blinding you like electrically lit sights can. Tritium is a low-radiation gas (the H-3 isotope of helium) that is contained in a sealed capsule for protection. The phosphoruscoated capsule is underneath the fiberoptic. The improved Night Hawk pins use a black metal housing that can't break, no matter how much abuse your sight has to take. Choose the Night Hawk I for Savage pendulums and Eagle Eye sights. The Night Hawk II fits all Savage ground sights. You will find Night Hawk pins at pro shops and sporting goods stores that stock sights, rests and accessories by Savage Systems. For a 2002 catalog, call the Oak Grove, Louisiana manufacturer at (318) 428-7733. You can also see them on the web at www.savagearcherv.com or www.abetterarcherv.com “Where Quality Meets Innovation" Savage Systems, 110 North Front Street, Oak Grove, LA 71263
Fiber Optic powered by tritium at night and by the ambient light at day. Never without power!

Yep! There is a new target butt system out west that archery clubs and shops have discovered and they are very pleased with this systems performance. Karl Plato, founder of Pacific Bow Butts. Inc. has developed this unique system since February 1997. Karl purchased a company that produced archcry butts from cedar toe. which is similar to excelsior, both having the same character being inconsistent backstops when they dry out increasing premature pass-throughs or. when absorbing to much moisture arrow removal is very, very difficult. His years of fanning experience helped him in redeveloping this product. He now takes specially selected straws and other ingredients coupled with specific compression ratios, then secures each target butt with 3 - 3/4 inch galvanize bands. The end results are an extremely durable, economical target butt system having a flat surface with two shootable sides where you can affix two 5spot or two 3-spot paper targets with ample room to move targets. Arrow removal is easy using one hand or a simple two-hand tug. His standard target butt, model PBB 200 Extreme is the most popular model measunng 21 "h x 20"d x 44"w. weighs approx. 160 lbs. and has the capacity to absorb in excess of 75.000 shots. This system is designed for stacking. Why? From his research Karl discovered that most full size backstops arc shot in the middle area leading to quicker pass-throughs. Being able to alternate these target butts extends the life of the entire system significantly, which makes this system very economical. Alternating this system is usually done once or twice each year. Several clubs and shops stack two high, although there are many that stack three high giving archers a target arena 5 feet high by 44 inches wide. This allows for safer practices and an additional target butt for alternating. Archers in Washington and Oregon have proven this system having used it since April 1997. NOW! California, Idaho. Nevada. Colorado and New Mexico archers have discovered this unique target butt system. They have finely found the ultimate replacement for expensive, inconsistent synthetic and other material made target butts, which need to be rebound or kept wet regularly. Pacific Bow Butts systems have caught the attention of many archers, not just in the West, but in other states across the nation as well. Karl can do custom widths to accommodate indoor range needs and to fit clubs having existing target butt sheds. Archery clubs, shops and individuals, you better set your sights on Pacific Bow Butts. Inc. so you can discover this very unique system as well. www.pacificbowbutts.com Pacific Bow Butts PO Box 108 Ilwaco. WA 98624

From the pictures you will sec that it was Ed Eliason who took the trip from Salt Lake City to Aalborg in the northern part of my country, Denmark. It is a long time since I met Ed Eliason the first time, it was back in 1989 and 1 remember how impressed I was. knowing he was bom in 1938 and a top archer, actually more times American champion. Now here in Denmark, he is still bom sometime in 1938 and he looks just like the first time I met him -1 can only recommend archery, stay young shoot bow and arrow. Aalborg is one of the archery clubs in Denmark with many activities promoting our sport and also getting very good archers.

Tough Shootin’ at IBO Third Gem by Rhonda Campbell
L-R: Jill Triplett (FHC) and Joella Bates (PRF). Triplett won the tournament! Her high scores throughout the series earned her the overall title as welt! Bates holds a long list of Championship titles!
This year’s "Challenge” really was a challenge! The rain poured down over shooters at the Easton Bowhunter Challenge, the third and last jewel of the I.B.O. Triple Crown series of tournaments. The event, hosted by Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio took place over the weekend of July 12-14. Like the previous two tournaments. Mother Nature was really out to get the shooter's. But they simply donned their raingear and got on with the competion anyway! Competition was fierce as shooters vied for the National Triple Crown Overall Winners titles in each of their respective divisions. To achieve this feat, their combined scores from the previous tournament's must be higher than any of their competitors. With so many great shooters out there, this was definately not an easy task! This year, each tournament of the Triple Crown series was set up to face shooters with a great variety of different challenges. Each tournament, unique in its own way. was specifically designed by the l.B.O. and it’s host clubs to get competitors ready for the Grand Finale, the World Championship in Snowshoe. West Virginia. In other words, shooters were basically “set up" at Bedford and Eric and Nelsonville and didn't suspect a thing! Most competitors agreed that it really was a tough tournament. Those who have walked the steep hills and inclines of the 232
L-R: Kay and Bob "Super Senior" Harrell. Bob has been a tough shooter to beat for the past several years! He won the Masters division and placed 3rd overallfor the series! The Harrell's are among some of the nicest folks you 'll meet at the tournaments!
area surrounding Hocking College know how tough it can be make shots while you arc hanging off the side of a cliff or standing on the edge of a ravine! And for many shooters, especially our seniors out there, it is tough enough just to catch your breath to make it to the next target on the course! Participants really seemed to like the tournament and many of their remarks about it were similar— It was a tough tournament with long and deceiving yardage, especially on A. B, C & D ranges. K range had turkey targets that were really hard to hit. Nice distance changes throughout the courses, and it’s mighty tough to see in those dark woods, especially in the pouring down rain. All in all, everyone was pleased with the tournament set up and always happy to see their “Archcry Family” again! Those who shot 30 or 40 targets on Friday became eligible for the new “Early Bird" drawing, a nice twist to this season’s series of events. Each shooter is entered into the drawing and if their name is pulled, they win some pretty great prizes! Winners at this tournament were: $500.00-Jason Lipp. Martin Altitude bow-Gcne Bair, Easton Arrow Certificates-Ryan Banley, Jason Jones, Greg McBride and Jim Bradley, Beaman Arrow Certificatcs-Tom Cryder Jr., Tru Gio Sight-Bill Bums. The “Early Bird" gets the PRIZE at the l.B.O. Triple Crown events! 1982 - 20th Anniversary - 2002
Competition was fierce in the Pro divisions! Mens Open Pro .Jack Wallace II, won 1st place for the tournament and the Overall series as well! Senior Pro. Derry Null had a great season, also winning the tournament and Overall series titles! Womens Pro, Linda Owen claimed 1st place for the tournament while her competitor. Ginger Morehead, won the Overall division title! Fingers Pro. Troy Carpenter, edged out Joe Goza by 3 points and won the tournament. But Goza’s high scores throughout the series rewarded him with the Overall series title! There was some “HOT" competition going on in the Amateur divisions as well! These divisions arc some of the largest at the tournaments and it can be really tough to hold a high score, especially throughout 3 tournaments! Each season, a few shooters place 1 st in their division at every Triple Crown tournament of the series. This year it was Diana Smith (FTRD), Jack Jones (MCU), Tina Huntzinger (SPF) and Adam Thiel (YMF). Congratulations to these winners and to all the winners at this year’s Bowhunter Challenge!

118th National Target Championships U.S. Grand Prix by Rhonda Campbell
Shooting talent runs deep with Michelle Ragsdale, who competed in 2 different divisions for the tournament! She won the Senior Female Compound division and placed near the top in the Recurve division too! Once again the National Archery Association has put on a terrific event’ The 118th National Target Championships were held again at the beautiful Heritage Park Complex in Canton. Michigan from July 27-August 2. Archers from all over the United States as well as other countries traveled to Canton to participate in this prestigious tournament. There was great shooting, great fun and great fellowship! Spectators in attendance had the chance to sec a great variety of archery skill and talent as they viewed competitive divisions including traditional, longbow, recurve, crossbow. compound, barebow and JO AD, senior, masters and disabled archers. In addition to that, they had the chance to sec and talk to some of the greatest archers in the world, including Olympic Medalists, World Champions and some "Archery Legends” in attendance too! And athletes from El Salvador. Guatemala, Mexico, the Ivory Coast and Lebanon. The event also featured, for the first time, the new JOAD age categories. This tournament was dedicated to the memory of Mr. George Helwig, the father and founder of the Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD). and his contributions to youth archery throughout the world. Our young shooters ARE the fiiture of archery, and Mr. Helwig's leadership and support for youth archcry programs has made the future outlook of youth archery look very bright! We will miss this great man!
Dave Cousins shows the form and style that made him the winner of the Senior Male Compound division! The tournament got underway on Saturday morning with the 6th Annual NAA Traditional Target Archery Championships, which runs in conjunction with the National Target Championships The w eather was hot and humid and shooters used all of their skills and talents to make great shots. The Traditional tournament concluded on Sunday, followed by the Clout Tournament, where shooters are required to shoot arrows into small rings set al 165 meters, 125 meters and 110 meters, depending upon a shooter's division. Definitely not an easy task! After the Clout Tournament, a Welcome Reception/Opening Ceremony was held in the Grand Ballroom of the Summit Building. Folks had the chance to meet and greet each other and find out what was in store for the week ahead. The competition would consist of 2 full FITA rounds throughout the w eek to determine the U.S. National Champions, a Team Competition and the U.S. Open Elimination Round. Competitors from the U.S. must be NAA or NFAA members and eligible according to FITA rules. The tournament also included "Guest" divisions for International participants. It was a tough w eek of grueling competition for everyone in attendance! Storms were predicted for Monday and as the days events neared an end. the sky turned black and the clouds opened up and literally POURED heavy rain down upon everyone. But the rain did not dampen the spirits of these tough shooters and their Line Judges and Officials. They all donned their raingear and proceeded with the

Many commented that it was difficult to even hold up their bows and more difficult to even see the target to get a shot off! Oh yeah, it was dark, it was difficult and it was EXCITING! The weather conditions werejust as relentless throughout the rest of the week too! The sun came out each day and the temperatures soared into the 90’s, with heat indexes well into the 100's! These shooters. Officials. Judges and other volunteers just did not get a break! But one thing remained consistent throughout it all... everyone kept smiling! It was a top-notch tournament and everyone was having a terrific time! The competition continued through the week and featured the NAA Annual Meeting on Wednesday, and a delicious Bar-B-Que on Thursday hosted by Canton Township. The National Target Championships and Team Competition concluded on Thursday, followed on Friday by the U.S. Open Elimination round. After the tournament ended, shooters and their guests gathered at the Laurel Manor in Livonia. They were welcomed by NAA President, Mark Miller, who thanked everyone from the competitors to the sponsors to the many volunteers from Canton Township as well as other parts of die country for their participation and support. A lovely prayer was led by archery legend. Wilburn Wooten, and a fabulous dinner was served. After dinner, the awards ceremony was presented by Athletic Program Director, MJ. Rogers, aided by members of the NAA Board of Governors. It was a lovely ending to a great event! 235
