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

Pete Shepley President Precision Shooting Equipment

TECHNICAL SUPERIORITY I started with the concept of a machined riser that would be priced within reason and still offer all the PSE features that a consumer deserves. The SR riser was the first in this series offering increased Cen ter Flite clearance and precise CF compatibility. Being machined from 6061T aluminum gave it strength along with a design that was verified by Finite Stress Analysis. The next riser to roll off the production line was a lightened version of the SR with smaller . ——t—1 ergonomic proportions and available in shorter draw I drs lengths down to 23". Our “““■ Infinity LD riser is a longer version with ripflpt *----- R deflexed design featuring a lowered grip and rest location like the other Infinity risers. It's what we call “ our "center line design." The SR-1000, SR-500, SRL-500, LD-300 bows all feature the PSE patented molded Magnaglass/Graphite limbs with con stant cross section design formula for extended durability. The Infinity risers all feature limb pockets with floating half round bearings. All of these features contribute to make the Infinity one of the most dependable performance bows available today. i I'm especially proud of our Synergos (Pat. Pend.) grip which adjusts laterally to provide tuning capabilities beyond that of centershot adjustment, a new dimension in tuning. All Infinity bows, aside from LD-2000 and LD-300, use the high performance Synergy III eccentrics which provide more power to each shot by increasing the peak weight duration of the power stroke. Synergy Ill's also offer choice of cabling options; pigtail, Fast Cam style or all Synthetic Harness and string. You'll find Syn ergy’s to be smooth and positive during the draw and on the shot. Cosmetically, we've never offered any more attractive product. New hard anodized colors for the competitor and new Rhino type 3 anodizing in matte finish. I'm proud of our Infinity bow line and I invite you to take a good look at the advantages they offer. I guarantee you'll be pleased.

(L-R) KAREKI. FLUTE. AND MATSUZAKA

The 34th All Japan Championships were held at Tsumagoi, beautiful sports facility kept by Yamaha, in Shizuoka Prefecture early November Many athletic federations in Japan have been holdin their championships in this season as a final event of the year One hundred eight competitors, sixty-five men and forty-two womer were selected by their two best scores of the year in official competition of Japan Federation. Big topic was the attendance of Barcelon Olympic Gold Medalist Sebastien Flute from France as a special gues archer Though many Americans have attended this competition s far, it was a first appearance from European countries In the three-day Grand FITA Round, the favorite archers, defendm champion, Takayoshi Matsushita. Hiroshi Yamamoto and Sebastiei Flute, shot over 1300 smoothly at men's Open Round No one doubter final winner must be from them at that time While on the women's line there was little difference among them as before We were not able tc find any woman orchora who reached 1300 again thia yoar

In the Grand Final, an unexpected result happened Masakatsu Kareki beat favorites and won the national title It was a first time in fourteen years that any other archers except Taka and Hiroshi gained championship of this competition. From 1978, Taka got it nine and Hiroshi won five times Masakatsu. twenty-four, from Okayama Prefecture is a graduate from Nippon College of Health and Physical Education. Though he has won the Intercollegiate Championship, this one is really big title for him. He has attended the National Championships of the United States two times as a member of the Junior National Team His genius flowered finally Many people could not believe at last moment of the competition so as himself and he said. "I didn't know what I was doing on the shooting line" while pulling last three arrows It was impossible to tell who would win the championship because eight finalists were equal in ability in the women's field. Such a situation has been continuing several years Eighteen years old girl, Yumi Matsuzaka from Yokohama who is in the third grade of YokohamaGauen High School won the title at last She broke the record for being the youngest national champion In 1991Reiko Fujita won at the age of nineteen. Archers, tournament officials and spectators were accustomed well to the system of Grand FITA Round, however, the Japan Federation decided to apply the Olympic Round in the 1993 All Japan The competition must be more severe for archers and more fun for spectators WOMEN Name 1 Yumt Matsuzaka 2 ReAo Ibaki 3 Maki Mochida 4 Aka ft Iwano 5 Yukiyo Hands 6 Masako Miyamoto 7 Kazuko Tanioka 8.

“To me, the Easton A/C/E is as good as gold.” Sebastien Flute, 1992 Olympic Gold Medalist

The 1992 Summer Games in Barcelona were a golden opportunity for Sebastien

Flute of France. In one of the toughest fields of all time, with a new head-to-head format, Sebastien took the Men's Individual Gold Medal. His arrow: Easton Aluminum/Carbon/Extreme (A/C/E). Once again, Easton dominated the medal

count, as 119 of 136 competitors in the Summer Games shot A/C/E. Year in and

year out, when the world’s best archers shoot for the gold, they demand Easton.

HAVE YOUR SAY IN RESPONSE TO THE INTERVIEW WITH COACH PARKS OF KOREA BY FREDDIE TRONCOSO I enjoyed reading the interview with the Korean archery coach, Mr. Parks. His philosophy and coaching style very much parallels my personal attitude about shooting and coaching. However, there were two comments that really got my USA blood boiling Quoted by the U.S ARCHER interviewer the last two sentences of the interview. 1. Quote "Yes we can learn to shoot as well as they do!" 2. Quote "Yes we will learn to shoot as well as they do!" Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't we, the USA, win four out of the last five Olympics we participated in. 1972 - John Williams. 1980 and 1984-Darrell Pace, and Jay Barrs in 1988. The United States has also won most of the World Championships during that time span as well Yes, we will continue to learn to shoot even better than we do now, BUT, we will be the teachers not the students Sincerely, Eric Hall, P S E P S. See you in Atlanta 1996

FITA: COMPOUND AND BAREBOW Really, neither has FITA for that matte ARCHERY the last one half dozen years we have inter As always I read your May-June issue compounds into FITA Field Archer/ with interest. I specifically thought the letters Archery, and I have no doubt but that replying to Per Bolstad’s article were interesting, Congress will accept the compound in f both ends of the spectrum. John Powlowski Outdoor World Championships affte for compounds and Bill Cooper for barebow, Congress meeting this coming Septerr and they are both right! Certainly John's you do not think FITA is handling it r comments on the marketplace and the number suggest you talk to Dee Wilde and Kirk E of compounds being manufactured is "right and any other rather fine US compound aon." There are probably fifty or more compounds who have shot at recent integrated FITA being manufactured in the world today for Championships. I got the feeling they every recurve, and again probably 90% or impressed! more of those in USA. From that perspective One of the unfortunate problems it would be easy to say let's forget about the see is that the some of the archers of Ca recurve and concentrate "where the action and USA (and some other countries for is." who have only really known compound Let me try to give you a International "FITA" changed away from recurves so long view if you will.

LETTER TO FREDDIE TRONCOSO, I have enjoyed your publication over the last year, especially your section on shooting observations from the Barcelona Olympics entitled "THE QUEST FOR IMPROVEMENT" by Freddie Troncoso As myself being a target recurve archer for some fourteen years now. and changed from right to left handed shooting two years ago because of eye problems. I had to start right at the bottom and work up to where now I am regularly shooting FITA distances and competing in tournaments. For a while I did shoot using the power stance technique, but changed to standing at 90° as suggested by Mr. Troncoso in his article. This has assisted my bow arm with better alignment at the longer FITA distances of 90 and 70 meters. Your magazine is read by a lot of our club members, but mainly being a recurve club we would like to see more articles on this section of the sport. Yours Faithfully. Richard Hamilton Australia

it is of the world A tremendous amount of talking and lobbying has been required to bring compounds this far, and there is no question in my mind that the effort was worthwhile, John again is correct, "traditions are hard to change" especially in the "Oldest Sport in the World" Archery was a very organized and important sport in many countries of Europe and Asia when the winner of a "archery contest" in North America went away with a scalp on his belt FITA has to consider the wants and needs of all its members and make decisions that best represent the majority. To do this, we need help and certainly understanding of the slow process of international change.

Constructive input is very important Uniformed criticism is a little difficult to lake. Let's have a little patience and take a much broader view. If we continue the process slowly and properly, who knows, there may be compounds on the Olympic line in a few more years?? As a final statement, and again my own personal opinion. I was not happy when the Member Associations voted for the inner ten ring, but the idea was presented sensibly and to my memory none of the more than onehalf dozen members of the NAA present protested or voted against it (that I can recall), (Al Wills Canadian president and FITA rep tells me that they did not)) I am sure everyone realizes that a compound-all things being equal

with scopes, release, and letoff combined with the equal ability will shoot tighter groups and higher scores than the recurves with fingers The Member Associations of FITA wanted a way to have the same ability produce an equal score, and not diminish the prestige of the recurve - "the best laid plans of men and mice, etc . etc !" The tacts are. in my mind the compound will shoot higher scores, why try to cover the fact, I don't think our top "recurvers" want to. If a "compounder" shoots a 1400 "good on them." That does not take from the tremendous ability it takes to shoot over 1300 with a beautiful recurve

As I see it, Don Lovo 1st V. P , FITA Council

Utilizing the over run of the lower limb the FLETCHREST is pulled out of the way of the fletching allowing for total clearance, even with large hunting vanes.

The FLETCHREST comes with a spool support, recommended for finger shooters and a springie support recommended for finger or release shooters. The FLETCHREST is micro adjustable for fine tuning.

HENDRA SETIJAWAN, INDONESIA

CLINT SAYO. PHILIPPINES

The Seventeenth South East Asian Games were held in Singapore from 13th to 20th June 1993 Nine nations from the region of South East Asia took part A total of over 4,000 athletes took part in this year's biennial SEA Games. Archery has an event since 1977 For the first time, the archery event took the format of the New Olympic Round to increase the excitement as well as audience participation In the past, the Outdoor Double FITA Round was used as the standard round The weather for the first two days of the qualifying single FITA round was rather tricky with gusts of easterly winds and monsoon rains Still respectable scores were posted with Wilson Pane of the Indonesian men's team scoring a total of 1287 points while the second qualifier Gatot Anyanto scored 1267 points. At least ten male archers crossed the 1200 mark barrier.

For the ladies, the top qualifier was Nurfitriyana Lantang of Indonesia who scored 1297 points followed closely by Joann C. Tabanag of the Philippines with 1292 points The top nine archers crossed the 1200 point barrier. Good weather and strong breezes caressed the tournament over the next three days In the ladies’ individual final. Nurfitriyana of Indonesia beat Joann C. Tabanag of the Philippines by 108 to 95 to win the gold medal. The loss was bitter for the Filipino lass as there was a misunderstanding. Nurfitriyana had won the toss and elected to shoot second, as the announcer made known on the public address system. Tabanag misunderstood what her rival had said and did not find out until it was too late that she should have started first. Tabanag's first arrow stayed on her bow' Hamidah of Indonesia won the bronze medal beating Nattha Kovitarngkoon of Thailand.

In the men’s individual event, twenty-three year old Hendra Setijawan of Indonesia, who was sixth in the Barcelona Olympics, won the gold medal after barely scrapping past talented Filipino teenager Oscar Briones in the semi final. He beat another Filipino. Clint Sayo 115 to 108 in the final. This credible score included seven perfect ten's. The bronze medal went to Thailand's Boosom Jarat, who beat Oscar Briones 107 to 103 In the ladies* team event, Indonesia beat Philippines 232 to 214 to win the gold medal while Malaysia beat Thailand for the bronze The men's team event was won by Indonesia again beating Thailand 237 to 217. Bronze medal was taken by the Philippines which beat the host country Singapore by only one point? PHOTOS COURTESY OF DR. CHENG JUN

In a country of badminton heroes and fanatical soccer fans, archery remains a sport for a rare breed. The bow and arrow is not new to Malaysia as this weapon together with the blow-pipe have been in use in remote parts of the country to hunt small game since time immemonal. As a sport though, it has yet to rank itself as an exciting field event in which spectators can visually keep track of what's going on. Fortunately, due partly to lax waive on sporting goods and the practice of "bringing along a buddy" by those already in the sport. archery soon caught on This is evident in the growing number of archery clubs and sections throughout the country The Penang Archery Association (PAA) was founded in 1991 by a group of dedicated archers as there was a need for a governing body to promote the sport in this island state To date. the Association has over forty members (excluding affiliates) comprising men, ladies and student members Office bearers are elected annually during the AGM to oversee the smooth running of the PAA. Practice sessions are held on fine weekends but one can find diehards or even desperate archers shooting at every available opportunity and in the rain just a few days before a competition hoping to at least put up a good showing when up against more experienced archers in their first ever shot at the "big time." Yours truly was in that predicament once. After much tension, heat and sweat during the one day shoot, the other first-timers and I were relieved to know that we did not end up with the wooden spoon Most of all. we had a lot of fun to go with the experience gained. Camaraderie among members is great on and off the shooting line Many times an archer, ready to "click” had to "let down" his bow just to take time off the shooting line to burst out in guffaws at a joke or an intended silly remark. At the PAA everything is done with a pinch of humor. The clowning is kept way behind the shooting line only when we get down to some serious competition or when we attend shoots. Sundays are great get-together days and members often bring along their families, refreshments and even their pets to the field which is a section of the local park grounds allocated to the PAA by the Municipal Council.

Members are also allowed to practice at an alternate field situated at the local sports complex but the one at the park with landscape surroundings and trees for shade will always be home ground to us Both fields have target butts for all the FITA distances, washrooms and canteens for the hungry and thirsty archer. The amenities enjoyed by members are mainly due to the tireless efforts of Mr Chin Siew Thian, Association President and coach. Mr. Chin or "situ", a Chinese term commonly used by martial arts disciples when referring to their teacher, has over 20 years of experience as an archer, a qualified coach and an administrator. Not only was he instrumental in securing the two fields for the PAA, his dedication and efforts also made it possible for the Association to receive funds from the State Youth and Sports Council and other various state bodies to supplement expenditures on target butts, training programs and such. With good administration and adequate funds, has the PAA produced any top class archer, one might ask? Has the world in recent years seen any Malaysian giving Korean or American archers a run for their money in the Olympics for that matter? As I implied earlier, no doubt there were quite a number of dedicated archers way back when I was still playing with toy bow and arrows, archery in this part of the world is still in its infancy by international standards. On the local scene though, the PAA can be proud of some of its achievements. In their heyday, "sifu" Chin and a few of the veteran archers like Vice President Peter Loo, Secretary Madam Fong Siew Yong and T. Shanmugam. another "old hand" himself have had their fair share of trophies. Most of the "new generation" archers from the PAA have yet to lay their hands on these shiny mementos of recognition except for a few like former National Champion Jamarulan Ramli and Vice President Joseph Cheng. The PAA is proud of Joseph's achievements. In his second outing as a competitor, he beat quite a number of seasoned archers to emerge champion in a local shoot held at a university ground. Joseph and a few of the other "new guys" who have been training with the PAA for under a year or two are now able to hold their own quite well against the "top dogs" at national and invitational meets

During a recent invitational shoot held in II capital city of Kuala Lumpur, Joseph "banar bowarm" Cheng finished seventh just behir two of the nation's best archers If not for th visiting Koreans who monopolized the top fo positions. Joseph would have been third Th is quite an achievement for whom many mig consider a rookie. Credit for making the Association real proud should go to the Penang state archer team for SUKMA *92. SUKMA or short fo SUKAN MALAYSIA is a biannual national met for various sports and this team of under twenty threes were chosen from archery sections afte a trial shoot conducted by the PAA Two boys from the Chinese Recreation Club archery section, Khoo Kah Liang and Alex Chow and two from the PAA, Quah Hoe Chye and Ooi Chee Ming made the team After a nail-biting two day shootout in the rain, team manager, "sifu" Chin and coach T. Shanmugam were all smiles when the team brought back the gold Penang also bagged the individual silver courtesy of Khoo Kah Liang. The ladies, coached by Madam Fong Siew Yong did not fair badly either. Sandra, however, made mom, Fong Siew Yong proud by being placed fourth Other than going for gold, community service is never far from the hearts and minds of the Association members. The PAA is never short of volunteers whenever events are being held The newly elected committee have lined up a few events for the year and members are also looking forward to the annual dinner, cook outs and picnics already in the works. With so many activities planned, we hope to attract more members. After all. we are a fun bunch

THE U. S. ARCHER

CONTINUING WITH ... THE QUEST FOR IMPROVEMENT By FREDDIE TRONCOSO As we are well aware, much emphasis has been recently placed on shooting Form. the important act of follow-through, and on shooting Form again. While it's well known and absolutely true that exacting shooting Form plays a very vital and significant role in successful archery, the maxim and reality that governs all good shooting is that regardless of equipment used, "It is the repetitive Form and ability of the archer that ultimately determines the accurate hits on the target" Agreed, good fast equipment helps but is not solely the final governing factor when it comes down to shooting record breaking scores In describing good sound archery Form we can assume that good archery Form is best understood and verified by watching the impressive Easton/FITA film entitled ”1992 Barcelona Olympic Games " Yes, I have previously made reference to this film and once again call your attention to the machine like performance given by the great archer Youn-Jeong Cho of Korea. Observing the exciting Gold Medal shootoff between Ms Cho and Ms Kim of Korea, we clearly see that Ms Cho defeated her teammate and shooting partner Kim while keeping all of her twelve arrows, but one, in the gold which represents an almost "Super-Human" achievement considering the trying conditions of the one-on-one match play format of the New Olympic Games As the records reveal, Ms Cho also established a new world FITA record of 1375 during the individual competition and out-performed all archers with respect to her unmatched repetitive Form and followthrough Closer scrutiny and review of the film discloses that the Russian women, Chinese archers and girls from Taipei also applied and exhibited use of good solid Form and follow-through Further study leads us to believe that exacting machine-like Form and followthrough are instrumental to all good shooting as is documented by the dominance by the Korean archers. Similar good shooting Form was applied by archers from other upcoming countries and republics Returning to our commentary, Cho shot using superior Form as compared to her colleague Soo-Nyung Kim It can be accurately stated that Kim shot well, but not anything as compared to the picture perfect Form/Followthrough applied by the talented Cho In the men’s finals, Sebastien Flute out shot and defeated Jae-Hun Chung of Korea by applying better shooting Form which ultimately produced the necessary consistency that fortified the mental control applied by Sebastien Further study and review reveals that neither of the two top Korean women apply any hand pressure to their bows during the act of shooting Cho knuckles her bow grip loosely and uses a bow sling which allows the bow to jump forward Kim utilizes a very loose and open hand position and also uses a bow sling which also allows the bow to jump forward upon release Both of these two archery greats set their clickers to within approximately 1/8" of

an inch, stop, aim. and effortlessly come through their clickers with precise symmetry and exactness. Returning to the men's shootoff. Sebastien's consistent Form kept his arrows predominantly in the gold where Jae-Hun’s more violent and explosive reactions possibly accounted for his few errant arrows. If you noticed Jae-Hun looked right into the camera for an instant but appeared unaffected by shooting a ten following his stare into the video camera Another unusual part of JaeHun's Form is that he permits his bow arm to roll inwardly towards the return path of the bowstring as he pulls through his clicker. If he hits his armguard with varying degrees of percussive impact, his left and right pattern on the target will reflect these variations which may go by unnoticed by the archer At this point, I feel that it is only fair to assert that I am fully aware of the fact that many good scores have been shot using the Explosive form method and the Open Power Stance On the other hand, as rational human beings and archers, we must recognize and acknowledge that we must also be aware of the fact that sight corrections can be made to compensate for discrepancies in our shooting form This factor thereby accounts for those occasional "great moments" where Explosive shooting and Power Stance shooters produce some respectable good scores. When their timing is on, Explosive Shooters can repeatedly hit the gold and shoot some eyebrow-raising good scores Yes. several of these archers have been known to occasionally break some records and win their share of noteworthy tournaments when their timing sequence is on Sadly, this type of shooting does not guarantee that these archers will continue shooting well using the Explosive method and the exaggerated wide open Power Stance These archers run hot and cold and generally do not perform well under trying tournament pressure conditions. Exaggerated movements then become more exaggerated and violent Hurried shots become more hurried and hence, another miss

Another unfortunate reality that affects our archers is attributed to our erroneous beliefs governing the act of shooting and inexhaustible choice of higher priced equipment Yes, we have many archers that believe that the more they shoot the better they will become Despairingly, reality sets in when they suddenly realize that no matter how much or how often they practice, or what improvements experienced. When this happens, we have another demoralized dropout to add to the list of bygones. At this point, archery ceases to appeal to those afflicted. It is my sincere opinion that American archers are going to have to start paying more attention to their shooting Form "IF WE AS A NATION EVER HOPE AND EXPECT TO WIN ANY FUTURE GOLD MEDALS FOR OLYMPIC ARCHERY, WE WILL HAVE TO GET OUR ACT TOGETHER AND RE LEARN TO SHOOT WHILE APPLYING BETTER SHOOTING FORM, OR CONTINUE TO FADE INTO OBLIVION AND THE SIDELINES." Experience professes, that the road uphill is the most difficult. If our current top shooters refuse to take on this challenge, and to refuse change, then perhaps it is best to concentrate our efforts to the development of a new breed of archers comprised of novice/beginners who are free and willing to learn to shoot properly It is absolutely imperative for our archers to be willing to master proper shooting Form and techniques or no improvement will occur. It is also equally important for our archers to strive continually to perfect exacting Form, precision and exacting repetition of every act of every act of drawing the bow and loosing the bowstring. Hence, as our techniques improve so will our scores and victories. The unanswered questions that remain are: HOW SINCERE ARE OUR DESIRES TO WIN AND EXCEL? HOW MUCH EFFORT ARE WE WILLING TO PUT FORTH TO ACCOMPLISH THESE

MEANS? The answers to the above two questions will determine our fate and performance outcomes. For better archery, Freddie Troncoso

INTRODUCTION BY EARL HOYT JR. Hardy Is the epitome of shooting skill which he so aptly demonstrated throughout the mid and late sixties, culminating in his triumphal winning of the World Championship at Valley Forge in 1969 During his shooting career he has always been a dominant force Starting in 1964, he won the NFA A Junior Championship Later, in 1966, he won his first NAA Championship and following in consecutive order, again in 1967 and 1968 Hardy has always shown great Finesse in the quality of his shooting form and technique of shot execution Here, in some detail, he defines the premises on which he has based his shooting success Because of his unique writing style, sometimes the true meaning lies deep within and requires definitive reading. Accept the challenge to read and study this material and perhaps you will derive benefit from the expertise Hardy wishes to share with his readers Earl Hoyt Jr.

NEW PRESIDENT ROBERT C. W. SMITH (R) THANKS OUTGOING PRESIDENT DON MARCURE (L) FOR HIS SERVICE

Robert C. W. Smith I have been truly honored to have been selected by the NAA Board of Governors to serve as the association president for the coming year During my tenure of the Board. I have had the opportunity to work with two great presidents. Don Marcure and Harold Kremer Harold provided me (whose exposure to archery and the NAA had been limited to my favorite form of archery crossbow shooting) with my initial opportunity to serve, and Don asked that I serve as his vice president, I hope I can bring the kind of leadership to the association that these two past presidents were able to bring during their terms of office. The first and most important piece of business that the NAA must undertake is the successful resolution of the challenge seeking to displace the NAA as the National Governing Body within the U.S. Olympic Committee. I am confident that the NAA will be successful. The NAA has numerous obligations to three primary groups, the membership at large. FITA. and the USOC. To the membership at large, the NAA provides a means for meaningful and significant competition In addition to this traditional means of participation, I would like the membership to remember the other ways that members can have an active role in the programs of the organization: coaching (at all levels), judging. organizing events, supporting children, wives. and husbands In their pursuit of excellence.

To FITA the NAA has the expressed obligation of supporting and developing the entire range of FITA programs And from the USOC. I can't begin to explain in this article the full range of obligations expected of us The USOC is our single most important source of funding so that the NAA can develop and expand its programs But this funding is not an open-ended, no stnngs attached, pool of money The USOC puts restrictions on the use of its funds. Among the items stressed by the USOC as suitable for use of its money include: athlete support, coaches and officials development, use of training centers within USOC limitations, science and technology advancements, grassroots programs, entry into the sport and athlete performance Within these categories are numerous opportunities for our membership to engage in significant levels of participation. With every increasing demands for services, the NAA must continue to take a look at what it is How is it possible to satisfy all these demands? Or is it possible? We must look at all we do and ask ourselves a simple question 'How does a particular activity benefit the NAA?' In the long run, those activities and programs which benefit the NAA are exactly those which are beneficial to the membership. FITA. and the USOC We have to strike a balance based on worth, expansion, development, and growth. The obvious counterweight to this is the availability of the means to achieve the goals we set. To accomplish our goals we, the Board of Governors, are very dependent on your thoughts and opinions, your ideas, plans, and suggestions. Be sure to let your representatives on the Board know of problems that you come across and prospective solutions to these problems. I look forward to the opportunities and challenges that the future holds

Former recipients of the JOAD Honorary Award are George Helwig (1986), Ann Clark (1987), Mildred and Charles Pierson (1988), Clayton Shenk (1989) and Deborah Blum (1991) Special congratulations is extended to everyone on their well deserved recognition this year for their contribution of time and effort to further our young archers in our sport

We all know that it takes a great many dedicated volunteers to make a sport program successful The NAA JOAD program enjoys this status and it is due to a host of talented, hardworking people who recognize the advantages of working with our young archers. At the recent NAA 109th National banquet in Oxford. Ohio, two separate, very special presentations were made in which several JOAD coaches, leaders and supporters were honored for their involvement The first presenter was Chuck Saunders of Saunders Archery, Inc., who spoke of the fine work being done on behalf of the JOAD program He noted that the Saunders award this year was being directed to those whose hard work and special effort into the sport, above and beyond the call of duty, advanced the sport of archery among the young. He went on to announce that this year's recipients of the award for their outstanding contributions were as follows: Bud Simon. Pittsburgh, PA Mildred Pierson.

The heat index topped 100 and the humidity kept us drenched! The tournament, hosted by the Clairton JOAD Club, was the culmination of a year's work, negotiating, planning, fundraising, buying.

building, borrowing and creating everything needed to conduct a national event. Tournament Director L.H. 'Bud' Simon masterminded the project and the parents of the club, as well as many, many people from around the country, assisted him This was the second JOAD nationals hosted by Clairton and run by Bud, the first being held at the same site in 1989 A record number of archers. 212, participated and came from all over the country representing 38 states. This was the first JOAD nationals in which archers shooting compound bows were able to compete and 45 archers shot in this division. The compound shooters follow the same rules as recurve shooters with one exception. When counting tens for tie-breaking, only "clean 10's," that is tens hit in the inner ten ring can apply. Since this was the first year for this division, winners for each distance in all categories established records. Members of the National JOAD Olympian team enjoyed an all expense paid trip sponsored by the National Archery Association. The team, comprised of two representatives from each of the four regions of the country, included Greg Rydzewski and Sarah Hoffman, East; Scott Allen and Jessica Carlson, North; Daniel Fodran and Patrick Creelman, West; and Jeff Milchanowski and Greg Krueger. South. Hosting the team while they were in Pittsburgh was team leader Tony Nuzzo. Tony shepherded them around Pittsburgh including historic Kennywood Park, an amusement park with the world's highest roller coaster At least one Olympian's phone call to his parents began with an excited report on the roller coaster ride Maybe a new way of relaxing before a tournament is to get as scared as you possibly can and then tournament shooting is easy by comparison. Most shooters and their families arrived on Friday for equipment inspection and practice. The tournament opened Saturday at noon

1993 NATIONAL CROSSBOW CHAMPIONSHIPS Article By Bob Smith The 1993 U.S. National Crossbow Championships was staged on Western Field of Miami University. Oxford. Ohio. August 2-5 A total of 28 competitors including one guest crossbowmen. Tony Bradbury from England. participated. The competition was blessed with good weather throughout the tournament except for about 15 minutes of heavy rain at the beginning of one day’s shooting In addition to being the NAA national championship event, this tournament was also the selection tournament for the 1994 U.S. World Championship Crossbow team. This event will take place in Wiesbaden. Germany in mid-July, and the team will be composed of 5 men and 3 women So there was a lot more at stake than simply the current national title The round being shot was the International 900 Round, a 900 point event shot at the distances of 65, 50 and 35 meters at a 60 centimeter face. The entire tournament consisted of four such rounds shot over four days The first day saw Jim Thomas (826) jump to a 16 point lead over John Gracey (820) who was followed by Alan Kaufhold 4 points behind. For the women. Lillie Stauffer took a 4 point lead over Carol Pelosi, 810 to 806. In third was Diana Hoffarth with 762.

TOM HOLLAND AND JIM THOMAS SHOOT 2Q7 AT 35 METERS TO EQUAL THE EXISTING WORLD RECORD Over the second and third days, Jim continued to extend his lead with exceptionally fine rounds of 845 and 847. while Carol took the lead among the women by shooting rounds of 825 and 828. At the same time, though, others were putting together great rounds of their own to challenge for the lead. Lillie recorded a round of 821. including a score of 280 at 50 meters, and Tom Holland ran together two rounds of 835 and 845. In the process of shooting his 845. Tom recorded a score of 297 at the 35 meter distance, an outstanding performance. To break the tension of the four days of competition, on Wednesday afternoon the APPLE SHOOT event was held. This event is a rapid fire, timed round shot at different unknown distances The whole thing came down to a shoot-off between Bob Kaufhold and newcomer Fred Maczynski with Bob taking the trophy following an intense round of shooting. The final day opened with Jim Thomas in the lead for the men and holding that lead to the finish. Along the way. Jim shot his own 297 at 35 meters just to show that he was in

top form. Tom Holland held on at the number two spot, but into third place moved Bill Pimm Bill had been putting together some very good rounds during the week, including an 828 on the third day to move pass Alan Kaufhold by one point into third place But Alan secured his place on the U.S. World team and was joined by Charlie Sacco in fifth place. Carol and Lillie had solid locks on the first and second places, but the fight for third place, and a spot on the U.S. World team, was up for grabs. Diana Hoffarth had a 12 point lead over Jennifer Moyer going into the fourth and final round, but 12 points can vanish in an end of two at 65 meters on the 60 centimeter face. Jennifer made many runs at overtaking Diana. but was unable to do so when the final count came in. To finish off the week's shooting, the tournament ended with the traditional King’s and Queen’s Rounds. These events are six single shot matches at a distance of 35 meters The scoring zones are a 1“ ten ring surrounded by a 4 3/4" nine ring. Outside of this nine ring, everything is a miss. Carol shot a one point victory over Lillie, 47 to 46. In the King's Round, Jim and Tom were tied at 57 points apiece following the standard 6 competition shots. A sudden death shootoff was employed to break the tie. Following one round of sudden death, the score was still tied, but on the second round. Jim pulled out a one point victory over Tom. This national championships was an excellent event Five gold, silver and bronze medalists were crowned, and a suburb team was chosen to represent the National Crossbowmen and the National Archery Association at next year's World Championships. There was some truly excellent shooting on the crossbow line as has been highlighted above. But perhaps the most astounding result of the week's shooting was that Carol Pelosi

won her 20th Outdoor National Crossbow Championship title What a string of victories1 Congratulations to all competitors on making the 1993 National Crossbow Championships a memorable and thrilling tournament. CROSSBOW - IR900 - FINAL RESULTS August 5, 1993 MEN'S DIVISION

INTERMEDIATES

Another great NAA Nationals is one for the history books and as always included many highlights Jerry Pylypchuk’s courage and stamina to place second in the senior division after serious injury to his bow hand will never be forgotten And Joe Grejdus was an inspiration to all as he became the first wheelchair archer to win a medal at a national target event There were many highlights during this annual week long gathering and it’s best to start at the beginning The field was in perfect condition for the competition and many thanks go to TD George Helwig, his assistant Tom Green and the field crew for doing such a great job. The new leaderboard at the east end of Cook Field was a much appreciated addition for the junior and cadet archers The Sunday clout event attracted 39 archers who earned honors in nine categories on the Ditmer playing field David Brandfass (159) and Teri Chang (150) took top honors in their divisions with impresssive wins, and Earl Gamerdinger (144). James Cottrill (114) and Julie Cottrill (65) became the first compound shooters to participate As usual, everyone had a great time at this best kept secret fun event’ Meanwhile. Cook Field was alive with archers practicing for the week ahead and going through the equipment inspection line Chairman of judges, Skip Phillips, had it well organized so everything went smoothly. While checking in some archers even took time to cast their votes for the candidates running for Board of Governors' seats At the annual Sunday night meeting, chaired by President Don Marcure, everyone was brought up-to-date on the current NFAA challenge to replace the NAA as the national governing body for archery President Marcure noted that the U.S Olympic Committee has selected a hearing panel to review the case on September 21-22 NAA and NAA Foundation Treasurers Roy Nelson and Harold Kremer respectively, reviewed the annual audits for each organization Reports were also given by Excutive Director Chris McCartney who reviewed the mechanics of the USOC Olympic central funding program, and National Coach Administrator Nancy Myrick who talked about the status of the NAA’s coaching development plan Linda Marten, Administrative Assistant, reviewed all aspects of tournament activity within the organization, and Marketing Director Rick McKinney talked about current projects and future plans for raising funds for the NAA. At the end of the meeting Pres. Marcure honored out-going Board members Speed McCullough (East), Roy Nelson (West) and Jack Swanson (North) with plaques and thanked them all for their many years of hardwork and dedication to the NAA. (Marcure. also an out going Board member, was given his appreciation plaque at the banquet on Friday night by Bob Smith) He then announced that the following had been elected to the NAA Board Julia Bowers (East), Norman Graham (North). Rick Stonebraker (South), Carol Strausburg (West), and incumbent Tom Stevenson, Jr. (Active Athlete Representative). A reception sponsored by Easton followed the meeting and everyone enjoyed the opportunity to mingle with longtime friends and visitors from around the world. The next four days of FITA shooting went very well and. except for the tricky wind conditions during the first FITA, the weather was outstanding’ The days were long though and it was close to 7 00 PM before the field was empty each day In the senior men’s division, Ed Eliason kept the pressure on during both FITAs and was the only man to score over 1300 His 1306/1284 for a total of 2590 kept him in first place on the leader board throughout the event Jay Barrs’ strong second FITA put him in second place with scores of 1277/1298 for a 2575 total Rick McKinney also shot well second time around with scores of 1279/1294 for a total of 2573 to secure third place

EVERYTHING POINTS TO A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR HIGH COUNTRY'S TIM MAYS, WINNER OF THE 1M3 INTERNATIONAL BOWHUNTER CHALLENGE

EXCLUSIVE "WORLD" ARTICLE AND PHOTOS BY LES MANESS & JOHN SIELICKI 294

Fortunately, not everyone making predictions is so sensational or unbelievable Occasionally there are people who can actually foretell the future with an amazing degree of accuracy. They are typically those who use all of the known information of the past and present to project the most likely possibility ahead Such is the case of IBO board member. Bill Perrine, who spoke to us at the Midwestern Classic on June 4. 1993 Bill was looking nearly two months ahead when he went on record with this prediction "When the competitors come to the International Bowhunter Challenge. they will find that it is just that. A challenge1" Today, judging by the events that occurred and reactions of the participants at the final leg of the IBO National Triple Crown, it can be stated that never has the future been told more clearly To understand how Bill was able to foresee the outcome so precisely, it is helpful to understand the factors that shaped this prestigious event First and foremost was the weather Bill accurately forecasted that if history was any indicator, archers at the Nelsonville tournament would find the heat extremely challenging And just as he predicted, when the temperatures hit the 90s and the humidity dripped in at over 80%. even the most seasoned archers began to sweat out each shot Randy Ulmer. High Country's 1992 World Champion, explained just how intensely his fellow archers were feeling the heat "When the competitors walked up to the stake to shoot, you could see the sweat pouring off of them. Not only was it uncomfortable, but with the perspiration running down into everyone's eyes, it was downright distracting." One archer who had looked far enough ahead to anticipate this possibility was High Country's. Tim Mays Accordingly, he had the foresight to bring a large golf umbrella for sun protection, which he graciously shared with the other members of his group. As it turned out, Tim's ESP insight (Extra Sensible Parasol) proved to be right on target He shot a blistering tournament high score of 378 out of 400 possible points, which was a shade better than his nearest competitor Another factor that lent credence to Bill Perrine's prediction was his foreknowledge of the course design. He knew that Hocking Tech had a proud history of setting up 3-D tournaments that challenged the participant's outer limits of skill and accuracy. What's more, as tournament

director, he knew he could count on the HTC Archery Club to help serve notice that any Pro taking this course lightly would be in for a case of future shock. As the competitors soon realized. Bill's premonition of difficulty proved to be more accurate than the prediction that La Toya Jackson might someday be overexposed in the media The course was set up along open fields with deep, dark woods. The shadows that fell across the McKenzie targets were thicker than palm readers at a UFO convention. However, the real challenge came when the Pros found themselves in fields so overgrown that tunnels had to be cut out of the dense, six foot weeds. One by one, these competitors found themselves acquiring a new respect for the host club, who's vision was to chart a new path for the stars When the grueling event was over, the standings were often anything but predictable In the men's pro class. Tim Mays used supernatural skill to defeat Scott Shultz of Hoyt USA 378 to 377. However, the National Triple Crown fell to the mystical Randy Chappell of High Country, who edged out cohort. Randy Ulmer, by the narrowest of margins. In the men's pro teams. High Country's Randy Chappell. Sonny Chappell and Burley Hall's victory at Nelsonville proved to be enough to seal their fate as National Champions In the women's pro division, Kim Zehr of Xi. must have had a horoscope that read something like, "You will win the battle, but not the crown." That's because although she took the tournament, the overall Jewels went to Denise Boggs of Martin Archery. And in the women's pro teams, the sharpshooting Martin Girls, Peggy Watkins, Denise Boggs and Karen Roseberry, were three distinct stars that aligned to win it all. The other classes showed why you don't have to be a psychic to see spirited competition Lenny Highlen and Jeanne Olkosky confirmed they were predestined for tournament and cumulative wins in the male and female open divisions. Dave Soltis and Sherry Clough followed suit in the male and female release class, with their sweeping, prophetic victories. Bryce Pennington and Jill Smith shot well enough to claim the IBO Crown they previously envisioned in the male and female compound aided groups. And the experience proved extremely prophet-able for Jim Brown. Jerry Gray and Tony Harmon who took home national trophies in the male compound unaided, male recurve aided and male recurve unaided categories, respectively. As anticipated, everyone had their eyes on the future of archery as the young people battled to the finish. The cub division came down to an exciting shootoff for Andy Layman and Matt Zicafoose. Destiny saw fit to offer Zicafoose the reigning Crown. And victory was most assuredly in the cards for Blain Homistek and Leon Reaser, who

just a few months ago And as we are seeing here today, it is taking the archery world by storm." "We'll be telling you more about this new sport and the tremendous impact the Archery Shooters Association is having on the athletes And of course, we'll try to interview the winner immediately following the finish But now, let's go down to the field to see if my co-host, Les Maness, can bring us up to speed on the action. Les, are you there?" "I'm here John, and yes. 'exciting' is the word for this tournament. Everywhere you turn you see the world's best archers going head to head, calling on every ounce of skill and acumen, battling for the Colorado Invitational title And what a win that will bel S3000 for first and over $12,000 to be distributed to the rest of the shooters that place. And that doesn't even include the famed Brunton Shootoff That alone has a winner-take-all cash prize of $2000. No wonder they're excited. John. Hey, that's enough for me to pick up a bow " "Well, I wouldn't quit your day job just yet, Les After all. you'd be going up against some pretty tough competition Archers have traveled from all over the country just to compete here today " "You're probably right, John. Maybe. I will give it a try in '94 Meanwhile, while we re waiting for the remaining archers to come in. let's look at events that took place yesterday that served Io shape up today's standings." "The afternoon started out under calm, overcast skies Ideal for 3-D shooting But, by the fifth target, it began to ram and the wind picked up Many of the archers found it difficult to shoot however, by the tenth target, the weather cleared and the sun broke through. That left the remaining ten targets of the day to be shot in almost perfect conditions." "The competition in the pro ranks proved to be very tight Many of the archers in the men's division shot around the 200 mark, which has been dubbed 'par' on the ASA tour The Bear/Jennings Staff Shooters got off to an early lead with some spectacular shooting Charles Hunt center punched the 12 ring on the last two targets for a hefty 206 That tied him with Shannon Caudle for the first round lead In that same group. Jeff Hopkins turned in a solid round of 202. which put him in the top five shooters of the day " "Perennial favorite, Jessie Moorehead shot in a group that included Georgia Invitational winner. High Country's formidable Randy Ulmer After a slow start. Jessie got into the 'zone' A streak allowed him to make a come from behind surge on the last seven targets He shot an amazing six 12 rings, which catapulted him right into the top five with an impressive 203." "The standings at the end of the first round of competition in the men's division saw Charles Hunt and Shannon Caudle lied for first. Sonny Chappell of High Country in third Jessie Moorehead claiming fourth and Jackie Caudle and Jeff Hopkins fighting it out for fifth "The competition in the women's division was nearly as gruelling. Sue Ray. shooting for PSE, lead the field with a scorching 200 Susan Thompson of Bear/Jennings challenged the lead with a respectable 195. while Kim Zehr of Xi locked into third with her 194 Connie Calloway of Martin Archery nudged into fourth with a healthy 192 and PSE's Sherry Cartwright finished out the top five with a 191 From there, it was off to the chronometer to verify their arrow speeds But for that story, let's go back to the booth for an explanation from my venerable partner. John?" "I'm not sure what venerable means Les. but if it has anything to do with penicillin, I don't need any. However, you might be right about needing an explanation about the chronometer test It is definitely something new to archery competition." "At the end of each round of competition, the top five shooters in each class convene to an area where officials have set up chronographs These devices measure the speed of the arrow in flight. The ASA officials are there to verify that no bow exceeds the maximum 280 foot per second speed limit. Since faster speeds might provide an unfair advantage, anyone who exceeds the limit is automatically disqualified " "John, wasn't this speed limit somewhat controversial at first?" "That's right. Les As was the much disputed 12 ring However, that furor proved to be little more than a tempest in a teapot The archers

have learned to live with the speed limits And, as for the 12 ring, it has added a whole new level of excitement to the competition " "John, if I'm not mistaken, that's not the only controversy that surrounded the ASA this year?" "You're right on target there too. Les One of the controversies concerns the prize money for these tournaments, while the other one has taken on a much broader scope I spoke with ASA director, Wayne Pearson, on these issues earlier today Here's what he had to say on the issues " "Wayne, the ASA has paid out over $305,000 in cash, prizes and awards in 1993 That's the largest purse ever offered in archery And the pro tour is less than seven months old! Yet, we hear rumors that archers were expecting even more Can you explain that7"

"John. I'd be glad to When I originally projected the monies that were going to be paid out to the shooters. I based my numbers on one hundred men and twenty-five women pros competing on the circuit. That put the prize money at a little over $300,000 And if you look at the numbers today, those estimates are almost 100% accurate "What made you change your projection to the published $816,000 tour payback, Wayne?" "Two things. John. For one. the top pros I polled told me I could expect no less than three hundred men and one hundred women competitors And when I took those numbers to one of my sponsors, they insisted that I show identical numbers in my projection for the women, in order to avoid the appearance of any biases That took me up to significantly CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

more athletes and an estimated purse of $816,000" "John, I would have loved to have been able to give out that kind of money. But as it is. I'm actually having to come out of my pocket to cover some of the costs for the first year I don't mind doing it because I want to see the ASA grow. I want to see the archers make more and more money every year And I'd like to help pull the archery manufacturers together. so we can unite in a common goal." “Wayne, is this the second air of controversy that surrounds the sport?” “You bet, John! And it’s the reason the ASA has donated over $16,000 to organizations like Save Our Hentage, the American Archery Council and the Olympic Team We re behind them because we know archery is in trouble And anyone who doubts that fact should have been at the Governor's meeting in Colorado a few weeks ago The seven hundred people who attended that meeting came away with the distinct impression that hunting and fishing were not in that state's future plans When I hear things like that. I know it's time for all of us to pull together “ "Great point. Wayne, and thanks for shanng your thoughts with us. Now. Let's go back to the field to see how the competition is pulling together. Les?" "Well. John, the archers have just finished shooting and the ASA staff is posting the final tallies. Judging by the scores, it looks like

300

Charles Hunt of Bear/Jennings will have 3000 new reasons to by happy He turned in an incredible 212, which gives him the top score of day and the tournament Let's see if we can get him to say a few words " "Charles, how do you feel now that the tournament is over?" "It feels great! I've won my share of smaller tournaments, but the competition here is awesome It's good to know I can finally relax now that it's over I got a little tense during the shoot and shot a couple of 8's. But I was able to walk off to the side and calm myself down “ “Was there ever a time today when the competition got you concerned. Charles?" "Well. I got a little worried when I only scored an 8 on target number four. But then, I hit five 12's on the next six targets. I couldn't afford to get too comfortable though, because Shannon Caudle was right there with me the whole time. He was never more than 2 to 4 points away from me." "Well, Charles, apparently that was enough So, on behalf of all of us at THE U. S. ARCHER. I want to congratulate you on an outstanding performance." "That raps it up for me down here. John. So it's back to you. for a final look at the standings " Thanks, Les. On behalf of all of the competitors. I'd like to express my personal appreciation to the TOURNAMENT SPONSORS. BROWNING, and to the HARD-WORKING

STAFF OF THE ARCHERY SHOOTERS ASSOCIATION who put this great tournament together. And a special thanks to the TV camera crew. You can see their great coverage on ESPN, who will be televising the ASA Colorado Invitational on Wayne Pearson's Ultimate Outdoors on November 6th at 8 30 a m .

BEMAN RELEASES TEST DATA ON 3-D TARGET POINTS Target Wear is Minimized with Glue-in Target Points Traverse City, Michigan - Engineers at Beman Archery recently invited a local 3-D club to independently test different target points with their 70/90 Beman Hunter carbon fiber arrows. The club ran tests on Beman's Glue in point, a Saunders Combo point, and a bullet style point Comparisons were made with earlier testing using common aluminum arrows performed by Saunders Following the Saunders test format, the club set up three McKenzie 3-D deer targets. one for each target point Two hundred shots were made into the 10-nng of each target from a distance of twenty yards. The average kinetic energy of each shot was 66 6 foot pounds Results with photos are documented in the technical bulletin, "Selecting 3-D Target Points", available from Beman The club found that targets sustained very little damage from the 70/90 Beman Hunter carbon arrows tipped with Beman's 100 grain Glue-in point. Average overall penetration was 8.88". The Saunders Combo point with a standard outsert adapter also showed minima! target wear with a 9 93" average penetration. However, both aluminum and carbon arrows tipped with bullet style points and adapters showed excessive target damage by comparison "This is good news for 3-D clubs." said Don Dowker, product engineer at Beman in Michigan "Carbon arrows tipped with Beman's Glue-in or Saunders Combo points actually cause less target wear than aluminum arrows tipped with bullet style points." Bullet style points are generally used for shooting paper targets For a copy of the test results, write to Beman Archery. 3682 Rennie School Rd., Dept USA, Traverse City.

SAUNDERS COMBO POINT Tests prove the Combo Point is a matt saver. Recent test substantiated the Saunders claim that the Combo Point could substantially reduce 3-D target wear Tony Ruggen used a 61 pound bow with overdraw and a 545 grain arrow for the test which was made on a McKenzie deer target at 20 yards. Bullet points were used exclusively on the arrows shot at one target and the Combo Point used on arrows shot at the other. After 255 shots the bullet nosed arrows shot through the target The test was dropped The 3-D deer on which the Combo Points were used, showed little wear The test seemed to show that a great deal of matt wear and cost could be prevented by using the Combo Point. Although the test was made on a McKenzie target the amount of wear would be considerably less on any backstop material whether it was made of corrugated board, excelsior or Indian cord grass For more information write Saunders Archery Company at P.

BETTER TECHNOLOGY BREEDS BETTER GEAR Santa Ana. CA - More evidence that advanced aerospace technology is being used in the development of archery equipment came today, with the announcement by SAVAGE SYSTEMS that it has received patents on and will begin marketing several innovative items for bowhunters and professional shooters As featured in upcoming national advertisements, the revolutionary SAVAGE TORQUE-SIGHT™ is a feather weight 7 oz precision aiming sight which visually shows the shooter when and how the bow is torqued and how to correct it Utilizing a combination of aerospace materials and designed with the help of stress and function computer programs, the TORQUE-SIGHT™ is the first device of its kind which can help the archer eliminate left-right misses caused by bow torque "And it will do so right from the moment you begin using it." claimed Huey Savage. President and CEO of SAVAGE SYSTEMS. "It is ideal for anyone who shoots with overdraw systems, high percentage let-offs, gloves, or from treestands and unlevel surfaces " Started three years ago, SAVAGE SYSTEMS is only now beginning to market the fruits of its intense research and development program "We started by looking at the most common problems faced by archers, analyzed the causes and explored every possible alternative solution with any promise of success " Savage said "While seeking the best solution in each area, some fascinating discoveries were made along the way." Savage added One of these was the effect of shock on bow sights SAVAGE engineers showed that the constant need for sight pin adjustment with most existing sights was predominantly caused by impact and vibration shock impulses being transmitted to the pins through the bow nser and sight housings "It’s ironic." commented Savage "Today's sights are made rugged by using mostly 100% metal parts And being metal, they simply have no ability to absorb shock " The cure was to intersperse with metal parts, key components made from an aerospace composite which could absorb shock and vibration "The TORQUE-SIGHT™ actually absorbs shock before it reaches the pins. Once you set them they stay set until you move them again," he stated. As for ruggedness and durability. Savage stated each unit carries a lifetime warranty for replacement of any part broken or malfunctioning under normal use SAVAGE SYSTEMS will also announce an equally innovative drop-away arrow rest as well as a unique push and release system which promises a shooter can easily shoot a bow with a 50% heavier draw weight and achieve greater consistency of arrow groupings than ever before possible. Savage finished, stating an announcement would also be made soon regarding a riser design which "will immediately make machined aluminum risers second best " Further information on this will be made available at a later date Savage Systems, Inc., 2625B Orange Ave .

THE U.S. ARCHER

THE IMPORTANCE OF ARROW SPINE TO BOW PERFORMANCE TRADITIONAL * TARGET* FIELD * 3-D By ALAN ROTHHAAR ROTHHAAR RECURVE COMPANY Spine (not "spline") is defined as the amount of stiffness or resistance to bend that an arrow shaft has It is an inherent physical property of the material the shaft is made of and how thick the material is A broomstick, for example. is stiffer than a drinking straw by virtue of the heavy wood material and the thick diameter This stiffness can also be thought of as SPINE, and it can be measured by applying an equal bending force to each and comparing how much they bend Obviously the broomstick will absorb a lot of force whereas the straw will collapse with only a slight pressure And so it is with arrows They will all bend a different amount under a given pressure That pressure is important to know when you are trying to match arrow stiffness to a heavy bowstring The reaction of an arrow to a given bowstring force at the moment of release can and must be predictable to achieve good consistent shooting performance Arrow SPINE is the key to understanding arrow reaction It is the single most important consideration in tuning traditional bows I mean, let’s face it. there are not as many adjustable screws. dials, gauges, and buttons on traditional bows to correct for unmatched arrows As a custom bowyer for the last ten years, I have been able to learn a few things about what makes a good shooting bow Of course, there are many factors which enter in. but I have seen the best of custom bows shoot poorly, and the worst "homemade" bows shoot beautifully. the only difference being the choice of arrow SPINE of arrows can be measured and expressed in useful numerical values The original "archers" probably tested spine by "feel". They just grip an arrow shaft at each end and bend slightly to feel it's resistance Try it yourself! Take a couple different arrow sizes you may have lying around and feel the difference in stiffness. A trained hand can sort wood shaft stock reasonably close doing this. There is a better way however Today we have accurate SPINE TESTING MACHINES In my opinion, the wisest investment a traditional archer can make!

Over time, arrow spine "standards" have been developed Io provide consistency in arrow shaft manufacture Basically, it is a measure of "deflection" - the amount of bending expressed in inches that a shaft bends when subjected to a force or weight of two pounds when resting on two supports at a 26" spacing The stronger the arrow, the lower this deflection value will be Just like the broomstick, a strong arrow won't bend much but a light arrow will bend a lot This deflection measurement is extremely useful in identifying shafting which should match each other in a set. and are equal to all other manufacturers shafts so that arrows can be purchased from various sources and still match However, it is unusual to find arrows graded and marked with "inches of deflection" values (This would not be a bad idea in my opinion) The reason is that bows are not marked in deflection but in pounds of draw force Therefore. arrows are converted from "inches of deflection" to bow "weight" better quality arrow SPINE TESTING MACHINES automatically convert deflection to pounds (How this is computed is another long story) arrows are usually marked or graded into 5 pound groupings such as SO55 lbs . 55-60 lbs etc The important thing to think about is how much arrow spine is affecting your shooting In other words, are your arrows working with your bow or against it Consider another sport with similar concemspole vaulting-how important is the SPINE of the vaulters pole in launching his body as high as possible to get over the bar? Do all pole vaulters use the same size pole? Of course not’ Why? They don't weigh the same! They know that a pole must bend just the right amount, but not too much, to get the perfect jump Therefore they try different SPINE poles to get the optimum for their individual body weight. In our situation, to get the best arrow performance from our bows the arrow SPINE must match the bow draw weight It must match to get the best cast and the least erratic flight path to the intended target To get accurate

arrow shot grouping arrow SPINE must be matched to all other arrows in the set Testing arrows individually on an accurate SPINE TESTING MACHINE is the best way to achieve consistent shooting results. This is why we at Rothhaar Recurve Co. have designed and are marketing the "FLITE-RITE" spine testers for traditional archers These are a high quality instrument that really helps get the best out of our bows The testing we have done at Rothhaar Recurve Co. indicates that every bow has a fairly tight SPINE requirement to group arrows accurately We have been able to shoot both wood and aluminum arrows with heavy Snuffer broadheads into 1-3/16" diameter groups at 25 yards by using matched spine arrows and a shooting machine We found that arrows tend to group together according to their spine value but that point-of-impact wanders left or right of center with change of spine value. Every bow tested seems to do best at placing arrows straight-down-the-middle with arrows which spined a few pounds heavier than the marked bow weight, but not more than a few pounds. A five pound margin causes most bows to shoot off center Some bows which had the same draw weight require arrows with quite different spine weight to get the perfect down-the-middle accuracy To me. it is very important to the traditional instinctive shooter to get all your arrows shooting straightdown-the-middle from your bow as there is not a sight pin to compensate for arrows which have spine tendencies causing left or right impact. Using only arrows with the correct SPINE for your bow. will assure straight, smooth arrow flight and using only arrows matched exactly in SPINE to each other will assure the most accurate grouping This is what perfectly matched equipment is all about - this is what will give the traditional shooter the best chance to "hit the mark”!
