greetings fellow archers!

bruce cull

We have had a busy summer here at headquarters. The World Youth Championships was a fantastic tournament and we couldn’t be 2016 more proud of how it went. We had over 500 archers and coaches in attendance and we had over 800 volunteers from our community.

We had great community support that was essential in the great success of the tournament. Now that we’ve held one World Championships, we can’t wait to hold another World tournament here at headquarters!

Since the World Youth Championships have wrapped up, we’re preparing for the 50th anniversary of the Vegas Shoot.

We are still looking for members who have stories, pictures, information, or memorabilia from past Vegas Shoots.

Please contact us with any information you can provide.

Email: info@nfaausa.com Phone: 605-260-9279 I know many of you are already making arrangements for the 2016 3-Star Tour.

Registration will open for The Vegas Shoot and the NFAA Indoor Nationals in early October as we debut an updated nfaausa.com. I encourage you to book your hotel rooms now, as our blocks fill up fast! See updated hotel information on the tournament homepages at nfaausa.com. We are looking forward to record numbers and payouts in 2016!

extend a special thank you to World Archery for acknowledging the work that the NFAA and the NFAA Foundation have done on growing The Vegas Shoot and the Indoor World Cup series. I was recently invited to travel to Copenhagen, Denmark for the World Archery Congress. Since 1955, World Archery Congress has recognized the importance of contributions of individuals and organizations from in and outside the World Archery Family to the ongoing growth and success of the sport. The Congress recognizes such contributions through its most prestigious awards: gold, silver and bronze plaquettes. I was honored to receive a silver plaquette from Dr. Ugur Erdener, World Archery President.

I was humbled to join the ranks of only 9 other individuals from the United State, including Robert Smith (2011) and Tom Green (2007). This award would not have been possible without the support we have received from all participants of the World Indoor Cup series and The Vegas Shoot. I look forward to hitting 3,000 shooters, a number we only dreamed of hitting just a few short years ago. n

Lastly, I would like to

After the national outdoor field ended,

: e l i f o r p o Pr

there was a new champion for the Professional Men’s Freestyle: Kendall Woody. Kendall has been a professional since 2007, but before that he was just another boy with the desire to hunt.

Kendall started bow hunting with a Recurve bow with his dad and granddad at 10 years old. When he was 12, Kendall asked for a semi-automatic shotgun for Christmas. When he woke up on Christmas morning there was a compound bow under the Christmas tree instead of the gun.

“I was a little disappointed at first!”

Kendall said, “But I picked it up and played with it a little and I became very interested.

It wasn’t too long and I had a desire to shoot, and I guess the rest they say is history.”

Kendall stopped shooting competitive archery for several years to attend school and an apprenticeship. But after graduation he had caught the archery bug and began shooting again.

“I was begged to get back into archery by some friends, and it didn’t take long to get the fever again,” Kendall said, “I shot the Indoor Nationals that year (2005) and I didn’t shoot as I had hoped, but I was fully back into archery after that tournament.”

Kendall continued to train for the next year, and then in 2006 he attended the Indoor Nationals again and won in a shoot off in the Adult Male Freestyle division.

In 2006 Kendall became an Amateur, and then he turned professional the next year.

After the first day of competition at the 2015 National Outdoor Field tournament, Kendall had a score of 642 and that put him in third place. Above him were Jesse Broadwater and Dave Cousins. The second day, Kendall shot a 652 that put him in first, and by the final day Kendall shot a 583.

Kendall and Jesse’s score were an even 1877, thus ending in a shoot off between the two.

“After the shoot off, I looked at Jesse and he just had a big smile on his face,” recalled Kendall. “I honestly feel like he was glad to see me win more than if he had won himself.”

Since Kendall has been a pro for the last eight years, he had never claimed a big title until the National Outdoor Field continued on page 8

tournament. Kendall recalled winning this tournament was a feeling he would never forget.

“Eight years is a long time to wait for a win, but it was well worth the wait!”

Kendall said. “After the awards ceremony I took several friends out to eat. We have little things we do after tournaments, so the winner has to buy dinner for everyone.

Jesse has bought many dinners, so I couldn’t wait to repay him the favor.”

As for the future for Kendall, he hopes to win more titles before moving to the Senior division, particularly a Vegas title.

While Kendall has made it to the professionals, he has advice for all the aspiring archers.

“Never give up hope, and never get down on yourself too much.” He said, “You get back out of archery what you put into it.

Make sure to always make it fun and don’t let yourself get frustrated.” n

WorldArcheryYouth Championships

O

Over 400 archers from 51 countries visited Yankton, South Dakota for the World Archery Youth Championships. The tournament was seven days long, lasting from June 8 to June 14, and archers had to battle against heat, wind, and rain.

Archers began qualifications on Tuesday and by the end of day Tuesday the tournament was off to a good start.

On the first day of qualifications team USA broke two team world records. The compound junior women’s team consisting of Paige Pearce, Danielle Reynolds, and Emily Fischer broke the world record by a whopping 24 points. Their team total was 2014 and their individual scores were 683, 681, and 677.

The compound cadet women’s team consisting of Dahlia Crook, Cassidy Cox, and Breanna Theodore broke the world record by 36 points. Their team total was 2006 points and their individual scores were 676, 670, and 660. “[We’ll] Definitely pull together as a team in the elimination matches. Now that the tournament is beginning. We need to pull together and make good shots in the team round and be there to support each other, and that’s how we are going to win,” Said Pearce after setting the world record with her team.

By Saturday Pearce, Reynolds, and Fischer had made it to the gold match for compound junior women, and they had to compete against team Colombia. Team USA captured the gold beating Colombia 219 to 218.

As for the cadet women, Cox described their team as strong and that they enjoy shooting together.

“We’re not going to let up now that we’ve broken one world record,” Cox said.

The compound cadet women team followed in the footsteps as the compound junior women’s team by making it to the gold medal match. Team USA beats team Mexico 228 to 217.

By the end of the tournament team USA had collected 14 medals. Coming in with 11 medals, team Korea was the second team with the most metals earned.

The next World Youth Championships will be held in 2016 in Argentina. n scores, tournament info and more at www.nfaausa.com 17

2015 High Performance Youth Compound Academy

YOUTH COMPOUND

T

The NFAA Easton Yankton Archery Center (NEYAC) just finished its third year of hosting the Youth High Performance Compound Academy July 29th – August 1st. We had another great group of talented young archers from across the nation come to work with top-level coaches. Coaches included Bob Romero, Level 5 NTS; George Ryals, NFAA Professional Archer, Level 3 NTS and 2014 Coach of the Year; Diane Watson, World renowned professional archer and Level 4 NTS; Mark Eggers, Level 3 NTS and US Collegiate Archery Association 2013 Coach of the Year; Josahan Jaime Santacruz, Level 4 NTS; Bill Hewes, Level 3 NTS; and Michael Price, Bow Technician.

The focus of this year’s Youth Compound Academy was “Off Season Enhancement Training.” These talented young archers were given presentations by top ranked NFAA professional archers who covered topics such as domestic and international tournament strategies and getting to know your equipment and tuning your bow. Sports medicine professionals, Jason Nelson, Professor at Mt Marty College, and

Amanda Adamson, Physical Therapist at Lewis & Clark Therapy, were also brought in to teach the students about nutrition, training issues and injury treatment and prevention. The other topics covered by coaches included strength training and conditioning workouts, yearlong training plans based on the archers’ personal goals, and and an in-depth look at an archer’s shot cycle. With a 90-meter indoor range, two outdoor FITA ranges, three field ranges and 3D range, these young archers were also able to gain full experience and knowledge on all of the archery disciplines, rules and scoring.

The 2015 Youth Compound Academy grew again this year from twenty-seven archers in 2014 to thirty-three. Archers from all over the nation come to Yankton to attend this High Performance Compound Academy. When asked who already holds a World, National, or Vegas championship title, over a third of the class stood up. The goal of the High Performance Compound Academies is to create a central location for compound archers to train and grow.

“We have a world-class facility here at

®

the NFAA Easton Yankton Archery Center,” said Bruce Cull, President of the National Field Archery Association.

“This facility gives archers a year round training environment, including off-season training. When these up and coming junior archers are given a chance to train here with top-level coaches and professional archers, they are going to take it.”

Coach Josahan, Archery Program Director for the NFAA Easton Yankton Archery Center said, “The Academy went fantastic. We had a great team of coaches who were all dedicated and had great communication. Our kids continued on page 22

high performance youth | continued from page 21

were very eager to learn, they were like sponges soaking up all the material.”

A new element to this year’s camp was the addition of the Coach Observer Program that ran in tandem with the Compound Academy. Seven coach observers had the ability to sit in on presentations given by pro-shooters, observe how coaches interacted with archers and see how a high performance program runs. They also had class sessions with Academy coaches on developing an eye for form correction as well as implementing tools from this academy to their own program.

Four coach observers also had the opportunity to complete their Level 2 Instructor Certification Course.”

Neela Cezair, an archer from Trinidad and Tobago who attended the Academy said, “As a result of the Academy my skills have definitely improved, there is no doubt about it. I’ve improved my skills in knowledge of the equipment, equipment maintenance, shooting, and being able to watch like a coach. I like to say I’ve got the knowledge of a coach and athlete now.”

Thank you to all those who supported the 2015 High Performance Youth Compound Academy: Easton Foundations, Easton Archery, Original Brite Site, Arizona Archery Enterprises, HushPuk, BCY, and Stan Releases. n

Vegas Throwback

for the l♥ve of the sport

As the 50th anniversary of the Vegas Shoot approaches, the history of the iconic shoot resurfaces. Throughout the history of the Vegas Shoot there has always been one story from the shoot that makes an impact and is captured in the Archery magazine. One story that resurfaced during the recovery of the Vegas Shoot history features two professional archers from 1979.

Terry and Michelle Ragsdale, who both have claimed multiple Vegas trophies; Terry has won four unlimited men championships, while Michelle has captured two unlimited women championships.

The 1979 Vegas Shoot was a little different than previous shoots for this couple due to the fact they almost did not attend the tournament. A week before the tournament Michelle had some discomfort with her wisdom teeth and was unable to practice. Yet, she decided to make the trip to Vegas. Then while changing planes in Chicago, Michelle had an allergic reaction to medication and had to spend several hours in the emergency room in the airport.

“We were going to turn back home,” Terry said, “but then she seemed to recover.”

Michelle shot 442’s and 443’s during practice, and then came out with a 446 on the first day of the tournament. She continued the next day with 447 and finally on Sunday she ended with a 296, which guaranteed her the first place for unlimited women.

Terry, on the other hand, started off with a score of 449, one arrow behind the leader. The next day Terry’s score of 449 was able to keep him the leader of the men’s unlimited, and he cinched the title when he ended on Sunday with 299 points.

The Ragsdales went from almost not attending the Vegas shoot, to both husband and wife winning their classes.

The couple won a combined total of $2,250.

The Vegas Shoot in the past was just as important as it is to archers as it is today. While the attendance rate has increased, so has the love of the sport.

The 50th Vegas Shoot will be on January 29-31 at South Point Hotel & Casino. n

DATELINE: November 10, 2014 that what I saw in the peep was a tree. But I had both eyes open so I was able to follow the deer as it walked by the tree. I saw a spot and took the shot. I watched as my Victory VAP arrow with lumnok, tipped with an Ulmer Edge broadhead disappeared in the lung area of the deer. The deer walked 6 yards and stopped.

He looked around like as to discover “what just happened to me.” He took a deep breath and as he exhaled, I could see a mist of red coming from the holes on each side. In my mind, I was yelling ‘fall, fall, don’t go in the ditch’.

He didn’t take another step. He wobbled, and then fell on his back. All four feet were straight up in the air like an opossum dead on the side of the highway. Then he dropped to his side, done for. Just 19 yards from my stand. Man, I felt blessed. I took a look with the binoculars and all I could think was ‘holy crap, he’s big.’

I started shaking so bad I couldn’t safely get out of the stand. I tried to text my wife and texted the wrong number. I did call her and told her I shot a big one and that I was shaking bad. She told me to stay in the stand till it was safe. It took a full 15 minutes before I could get my gear, my bow and myself down from the tree stand. As I walked over, I just had to thank the Lord for bringing this amazing buck within my arrow’s reach. n

Bow Hunting ‘Booner Bears with Brabec For decades, the Brabec family has supported the Big Sky Open, archery as a sport, and archery hunting, especially big game in Colorado.

In a recent interview with NFAA pro Randy Brabec, we quickly found commonalities. We both won 2015 Sr. Pro NFAA Southwest Indoor Sectional Championships, we’re both being interested in helping other tournament archers explore hunting, and we’ve both faced the possibility of death-by-blackbear-attack, and are still standing.

Sieloff: I think since the last time we

boone-crockett.org). It was a big bear to make that record book. They measure them by total length and width of the skull, since the length and weight of a bear varies, depending on whether they’re coming out of hibernation and are substantially shrunk or are late season bears that are one or two hundred pounds heavier.

Brabec: Yes. Hunting has been good. I’ve taken a couple more black bear with a bow. I’ve taken a few more elk, too.

Sieloff: How many archery bears and elk have you taken in your lifetime, now?

Brabec: Um, 15 black bears and 36 elk, probably. One elk every year since I started hunting.

Sieloff: I’m guessing you have some amazing stories. It happens when you’re in the field a lot.

Brabec: One of the ones that stands out was my B&C Bear.

Sieloff: That’s Boone & Crockett (www.

Brabec: I drew back. Just as I released, something happened. We had mountains all around, and the wind swirled. He winded me and spun around to challenge

Brabec: My B&C bear was 21 inches.

Sieloff: That makes the B&C all-time record book. Those are like the biggest of the giants.

They’re jaws are massive. talked hunting, I’ve got another nice Arizona archery bear under my belt. And you? Having good luck in Colorado?

Sieloff: Those big ones sort of meander and roll along. What happened?

Brabec: I was hunting with Dad’s friend in the mountains. He had harvested a mule deer the day before, so the hunt was pretty successful, already.

Sieloff: Perfect. You field dress the mule deer, and that’s going to bring bears in from all around the mountains.

Brabec: It did. We sat back a hundred yards or so and watched. In came a bear, the first day I sat in the field where we left the parts of the carcass that we weren’t packing out. It immediately claimed it and started eating on it.

Sieloff: That’s dangerous because, now, that bear is going to defend against anything that comes in.

Brabec: Well, I snuck in with my bow to about 36 yards. The bear was walking.

me when the arrow piled into his neck.

Sieloff: I know that shot. Instead of the heart, the animal spins and your broadhead is now headed for the jugular.

Brabec: Exactly. There was blood everywhere when we trailed up the mountain. My dad’s friend went with me.

We figured it was a sure thing, tracking that much blood, I expected to see the bear in a pile pretty soon. Then the mountain started going straight up, and so did the blood. It was tough picking a way up that mountain.

Sieloff: It’s amazing the places animals can go up in those rocks.

Brabec: We came up over this one spot, looked ahead 20 yards and there he was, still walking up. He was way above us, high up there. Suddenly, he stopped, whirled around and charged. He came fast.

Sieloff: A mad, wounded bear? What did you do?

Brabec: I drew and shot. It was a frontal continued on page 28

shot. The arrow went in the throat and out the back. My dad’s friend and I lost our footing in the scramble and went rolling backward down the hill as the bear charged.

Sieloff: Then what?

Brabec: The bear went two jumps and it was dead.

Sieloff: Yeah, but two jumps on a big ‘Booner charging down a mountain is probably right where you were standing.

Brabec: Yeah, he could have tangled with us. It was close.

Sieloff: You hunt other species with a bow, too, right?

Brabec: Yes, deer and antelope.

Sieloff: Those are tough to hunt. They’re lightning-fast animals.

Brabec: They’re smaller. But just because an elk is bigger doesn’t mean that they are easier. An elk takes one step and they’ve moved three yards. I see a lot of people miss or make bad shots on elk .

Sieloff: Which gets me to the next point.

You’re not just a NFAA professional— with sponsors like Mathews, Gold Tip, Sure-Loc, VaneTec, Vapor Trail Limb Driver and Zeiss Optics—but you are a professional hunting guide. What’s your favorite game to guide hunts?

Brabec: Mule deer hunts can be fun for people because you get to sit, enjoy the sights, do a lot of glassing while you look for game, then put on a stalk. Elk hunts have to be the most fun for me because I can call them in close to the hunter.

Sieloff: For our NFAA members who have not hunted, “calling” is the use of mouth calls that imitate the vocalizations of an elk. They have a large vocabulary of sounds, some of which draw the herd together.

Brabec: It gets really exciting out in the mountains when you call an elk in for a hunter.

Sieloff: So what would you recommend for our NFAA members who have done a lot of target shooting and are interested in trying hunting?

Brabec: Get a professional guide, no matter where you are hunting. They can guide you in and out of wilderness areas, help you understand how to hunt the game, and help you to make better and safer decisions about your shot and other things.

Sieloff: Right. I often hunt with professionals. I use databases for hunting guide reviews, like Safari Club International (SCI) (scifirstforhunters. org), the SCI record book (scirecordbook. org) listings and The Hunting Report (huntingreport.com).

Brabec: Yes, do your homework on everything. That includes outfitters, hunting regulations, your shot, equipment and physical conditioning.

Sieloff: What do you recommend for shooting distance?

Brabec: Have a good 40-yard shot.

Anything between 20 and up to 40 yards is good. Nothing further. If you are new, you can make a lot of mistakes past 40 yards. n

Crock Pot Rabbit Stew Peter J on Food.com

Ingredients: 1 rabbit ½ teaspoon ground black pepper 425 g diced tomatoes 1 cup red wine 1 cup water 100 g button mushrooms, sliced 125 g shortcut bacon, sliced 2 medium carrots, chopped 2 medium onions, chopped 2 stalks celery, chopped 2 bay leaf 1 teaspoon oregano ¼ cup flour

Crock Pot Venison Roast JustJan on Food.com

Ingredients: 2-3 lbs. venison roast 1 (10 ½ ounce) can cream of mushroom soup 1 (10 ½ ounce) can hot water or 1 (10 ½ ounce) can brewed coffee 1 (1 ounce) envelope Lipton Onion Soup mix 1 teaspoon McCormick grill mates Montreal brand steak seasoning (low sodium) Directions: Place roast in crock pot. In a large measuring cup, gradually mix hot water or coffee with cream of mushroom soup until smooth. Pour over venison roast. Sprinkle with Lipton Onion Soup mix and steak seasoning. Cook on high setting for 8 hour then lower the temperature to the low setting until ready to serve.

Directions: Grind pepper over the rabbit and place in the crock pot. Combine all other ingredients except flour in a large bowl; mix well and pour over rabbit. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours for a small rabbit, or up to 8 hours for a large rabbit. Actually cook for half an hour less as below.

Thirty minutes ready blend flour with ½ cup of water until it is a smooth paste; add to the pot and stir well to thicken and continue cooking covered for an additional 30 minutes. Give it a good stir and allow to rest 10-15 minutes before serving. At this point the rabbit should be tender that you can tear pieces off with a fork to serve rather than cut. Just scoop it all out onto a plate. You’ll end up with bones in the fish so eat much like you would a fish—being careful of bones.

Serve along with a nice crusty roll to soak up the juices.

Q& A

If you are on the NFAA tournament circuit, you most likely have seen long time NFAA members Gary and Sandy McCain out on the course. We caught up with them after Outdoor Nationals to get their perspective on shooting archery as a couple!

meet the

McCains

Q how long have you been shooting together?

A 43 years

Gary: ”I have been shooting since I was 9 years old.”

Sandy: “I wanted to learn to shoot archery in high school but the program was discontinued. God has orchestrated our lives through the years, bringing us together. Our fathers introduced us to each other by setting us up for a date on Christmas Eve in 1971. A few days later I saw Gary shooting his bow and I asked Gary, ‘Will you teach me to shoot a bow?’ The rest is history! We were married in June of 1972, and been shooting together ever since.

Q do you practice together? What’s your practice routine?

A Sometimes we practice together. Sometimes we need to practice alone.

Sandy: “We help each other to get through struggles and we are always encouraging each other. We are very competitive and are always challenging each other.”

I’m a goal-setter: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, etc. I always practice with a plan and write it out and make notes on my progress. I like to shoot 200-300 per day if I have time to do so. Right now, I’m shooting Traditional Recurve. I practice with a clicker to maintain my draw length for consistency in my technique. I also use a Form Master to maintain the power in my shot. I shoot a blank bale with eyes closed to feel my entire body as I go through my technique. I take my clicker off when practicing yardages or shooting in tournaments. I shoot targets at different yardages to keep in tune with my aiming gaps. I prefer using the Hunter face target when training for yardage gaps. I spent a lot of time shooting at each yardage to build confidence I want to know them with out doubt. I also shoot field rounds to improve and maintain tournament skills. I shoot with other archers to help me challenge my skill, and I like shooting with Gary. He’s good, and he challenges me to shoot better.

Gary: “My practice routine starts at my point on yardage. I work on yardages from 35 to 65 yards while trying to shoot perfect form. About 3 to 4 times a month I practice holding and aiming every other arrow at different yardages.

In others words, I hold as long as I can aiming then let I down. Then I hold the next arrow a little longer than I want, then I shoot that arrow trying to maintain perfect form. Once a month I shoot up close with my eyes closed. I do not blank bale with my eyes open because there is always something to aim at.

Sandy and Gary McCain

When I close my eyes it takes the anticipation out of the shot so I can feel a perfect shot. The only time I use Sandy’s Form Master is when she makes me, after a serious discussion about my form.

Q you travel to tournaments all year long. where are some of your favorite places?

A Sandy: We have several archery ranges that

have given us great memories. I believe it is mostly because of the archers we meet and the friends we make combined with a love for archery. Our favorite ranges for shooting the NFAA National Field Championships is Watkins Glen, New York at Sugar Hill for its beautiful ranges and its surround areas and Darrington, Washington has such gorgeous

ranges with its tall trees and a variety of target positions of uphill, downhill, side hill and flat all spectacular targets. Woodlake Antelope Archers ranges in California close to home is one on our favorite ranges it is also a very challenging range. Fresno Field Archers range is where we have shot the famous Fresno Safari and World Bowhunter Team Championships, lots of fun memories and fun to shoot. All ranges are unique, they vary in terrain from flat, mountainous, rolling hills some are wooded and some are out in the open. We just like to shoot our bows. This year we have logged in many driving miles traveling from one end of California to the other as well as going to a Longbow Championship shoot in Stafford, Oklahoma and the IBO World Traditional Championships in Chapmansboro, Tennessee to NFAA National Field Championships in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania and doing some sightseeing along the way to and from in our travels. We will shoot more tournaments throughout this year but we will also take some time to go bow hunting.

Gary: Cracker Barrel, Cabela’s and Bass Pro are some of my favorites.

Q any do’s and don’ts when it comes to shooting as a couple?

A Sandy: Do’s—Always be supportive of each other, lifting each

other up to the next level. Always use positive talk when helping.

Communication is the key for getting along. Be truthful and give honest answers to one another that helps to know what is going on. Treat each other with respect be best friends. Be honest to self. Be a team. Use constructive criticism. Keep personal emotions out of the workshop. Be mindful of each other’s feelings. Keep it fun! It’s a game. If either one gets frustrated it is time to stop and walk away and take a time out. Stay focused on what you want to accomplish. Sometimes it is hard for a husband and wife to coach each other when this happens get a

coach. When you are struggling at a certain yardage move to the yardage that you are most successful at and end your practice on that good feeling target. Know every time you shoot it is preparing you for the next time you shot your bow. Decide who will pack the archery equipment and keep it routine so that nothing gets left behind when traveling.

Sandy: Don’ts—Never use negative talk or talk down to one another or use hurtful words, you cannot take harmful words back.

Don’t expect your spouse to coach you during a tournament because they are dealing with enough just to get them self through the tournament. Just let it go and deal with it after the tournament. Don’t let your emotions get out of control or you will both get upset and lose the fun of the game. Don’t keep shooting the same yardage if you are getting frustrated with it at that point it will not get any better. Don’t push each other to the point of frustration that definitely take the fun out of archery and causes everything else to become out of control. Don’t take your bad day of shooting out on the other person.

Gary: Do’s—Treat your spouse as if they are company, remember you have to ride home with them.

Gary: Don’ts—Don’t coach during a tournament or they will become dependent on you. This can be a hardship for the both of you. Let them play their own game and have fun. While passing on the range don’t make eye contact it may be more information than you want at the moment, just give them your best smile and keep moving. DONT tell your spouse if you are struggling leave it for after the tournament.

Q what’s your favorite archery memory as a couple?

A Sandy: Gary teaching me to shoot and still helping me. Gary

made many sacrifices to his progress to help me along the way to that I am very grateful. Harvesting my first deer was pretty exciting as well.

Gary: Carp shooting in Lake Success about 1976. We got so excited shooting carp we got out of the boat to shoot carp in the shallow water. After a while we looked up for our boat and it had floated out into the lake and I had swim out to get it. It was about 200 yards out in the lake. n

Controlling Tournament Nerves once a tournament begins, most archers find that trying to get their nerves under control is like shutting the cage door after the guerilla gets out. Their mind becomes goal oriented as they view the event in terms of points or winning. By the time the first scoring end arrives, uncontrollable anxiety dominates the situation.

From the beginning, don’t ever allow the point count or tournament rank to capture your attention until after you have released the last arrow of the competition. Instead, keep your entire focus on what is important, which is maintaining the good form you developed in practice. If you concentrate only on producing your best form, there will be no room for anxiety to build and

control your destiny. If most archers would give form as much emphasis as they do achieving a top score, the results would be much more gratifying.

During your practice routine, simulate the start of an important tournament. Think about score and winning. Then force yourself to focus on creating an effective shot. Shooting every arrow from the conscious mind following a simple two-to-four step procedure will give your mind and body a pattern that can be repeated. The steps should be straightforward, such as 1) let the pin settle in on the dot, 2) execute pressure at the target with the bow arm, and 3) pull the bow apart. Talk yourself through the sequence and follow your commands. Learn to trust your form

and ignore over-aiming. In order for this procedure to work, the execution of every tournament and practice arrow has to follow the same format.

The most significant part of your archery game that you can control is your ability to produce the same form that you develop on the practice range.

You cannot have power over your score, but if you shoot the same good form that you rehearse regularly, the points will take care of themselves. Lock that gorilla in the cage before you go to your next tournament. n For more tips on shooting and controlling tournament nerves, see Terry’s book, Archery: Think and Shoot Like a Champion, found at wunderlearchery.com

Coach’s Corner © bernie pellerite

The following are excerpts from Idiot Proof Answers to Archery’s Most Asked Questions by Bernie Pellerite.

From the author: “When I decided to write this second book, I felt that it should be completely different from the first. To determine what most people wanted to hear, we took questions for over a year from the internet and from past seminars and shooter’s schools. Then we selected the top 275 from over 500 questions we had compiled.

In this follow-up book to Idiot Proof Archery, we tried not to duplicate the material covered in the first book. So, most of Idiot Proof Answers is brand new material with new pictures and there is much more technical information in this book than in the first.

The chapters include the following: Equipment, which includes bows, tuning, strings, peep sights, sights, rests, stabilizers, releases and arrows. Also Form, Aiming, Mental, Target Panic, Back Tension, Practice, Tournaments and Hunting. This article is a selection of questions and answers from the Bow Equipment chapter.

Does my sight have a 3rd axis? How do I know? How do I adjust it? Why do I need it, anyway?

Original Brite Site 3rd Axis hinge

Most of the newer sights (in the last few years) have a 3rd axis adjustment. The way you can tell if your 3rd axis

Original Brite Site sight leveler

n

Third Quarter 2015

I once read about a device that attaches to the riser underneath the dove tail bracket and is used to set the fourth axis of your sight. What, if any, is the significance of setting the fourth axis of your sight?

The 4th axis adjustment is the final step in sightbow-arrow tuning for those who can’t reach long yardage shots without moving their sight bar in. The 4th axis on your sight is the axis that puts the sight in line

Sureloc 3rd axis leveling device

is in adjustment is to put the sight in a fixture that allows you to tilt it up and tilt it down. If the bubble is in the middle when pointed either up, in the middle or pointed down (it stays in the middle no matter which position you put it in) then the 3rd axis is adjusted correctly. For adjustment, follow the instructions from the manufacturer. Back before sights came with 3rd axis adjustments, we had to bend the rod of the scope to get it adjusted.

The 3rd axis adjustment is critical for shooting up and down 36 Archery Magazine

hill. If it is out of adjustment, you will shoot out to the left (or right) when aiming uphill and you will shoot out to the right (or left) when aiming downhill. When you aim straight on level ground, you will shoot in the middle.

There is a sight-leveling device you can get to check and/or set the 3rd axis adjustment made by “Original Brite Site”. Their website is: www.britesite.us.

Because the bow experiences sideways torque from the cable guard being “loaded” at full draw, some people contend that the only way to set the 3rd axis 100% correctly is at full draw.

If you want to do that, then you might need a leveling device that allows the sight to be leveled while at full draw. Sure-loc® sells one called the “3rd Axis Leveling Device.” Their website is www.sureloc.com.

Having said all that, still other top pros contend that, because a lot of people are running 14-16 oz. on sidekick rods, it adds a lot of torque on up and down hill shots. Therefore, they contend the only way to set the 3rd axis 100% correctly is to “shoot it in.” However, it is mainly critical at the longer distances on field rounds; 60, 70, and 80 yards. For the people that shoot only 3-D at a maximum of 50 yards, it’s not nearly as important. So, depending on your form, execution and amount of torque applied, there are different answers to the same question.

Vertical line target

Four axis adjustments to a sight

Tek-Tech 4th axis

with the arrow’s path, no matter whether you push the sight all the way in, all the way out or half way in. The first axis is the vertical bar; the one that the sight travels up and down on. The second axis is the level in the sight, or the cant of the bow. The third axis is the angle of the scope. If it is out of adjustment, you will shoot in a different place if you shoot uphill or downhill.

The fourth axis is the relationship of the entire sight to the bow.

If you are interested in the 4th axis, go to Gene Lueck’s website www.archerytech.com. He has a product called “TekTech 4th Axis”. Gene made the first sight leveler many years ago. This is a little plate that you put underneath the mounting block of your sight that can be micro-adjusted, like shimming your mounting block. Per Gene, “Setting the 4th axis properly is simply to adjust your entire sight to be in alignment with the “Arrow Path”. Here is Gene’s test to see if your 4th axis needs alignment. “Slide your sight extension in as close to your bow as possible and tighten it down. At a distance of 5 to 10 yards, shoot at a vertical line on the target butt. Adjust your windage so you are hitting the line. Then slide the sight extension all the way out and shoot at the line again. Do not change the windage! If your 4th axis is correct, both shots will hit the line.

If they both do not hit the line, you need to compensate for this misalignment.” He goes on to say that the Tek-Tech 4th Axis “can be a real advantage to some women and children that have trouble reaching a long yardage. I know that in some cases people shoot their sight extended but cannot reach a 100 yard target… slide the sight in for that target and then back out to your normal place for all the others and not have a windage error.”

I have had two bows that, once I get set up so everything feels comfortable, my 20-yard pin or scope setup is being partially blocked by the riser. Are some riser windows shorter than others, or is this an indication of poor form or improper anchor point?

If your sight is partially blocked by the riser, it could be a combination of things.

If your 20-yard pin is being blocked partially by the riser, it could be one, or a combination, of the following. It might mean that you have your rest set too high. The arrow should be somewhere in-line with the hole machined into the riser where your rest is mounted. It also might mean that your anchor point is not correct, so try some new anchors. You might have your sight bar out too far, which can cause the 20-yard pin to hide behind the riser. Try pushing it in closer, keeping in mind this will change your pin gap. Lastly, what might be happening is the bow might be shooting extremely slow. When this happens, some bows won’t give you as much variance as a bow with

a longer window. There is definitely a difference between manufacturers on their sight windows, so make sure that you check this before you buy another bow.

How do I keep the dot in my scope relatively clear while keeping my target clear enough to aim at?

It’s impossible to keep both your dot and your target perfectly clear.

It’s impossible to keep both your dot and your target perfectly clear. The human eye cannot focus at two different distances and maintain clarity. Therefore, you have to pick which one you want to be clear. The fact that you’re aware that the dot in your scope is not clear and the target is not clear either at the same time is proof that your mind is going back and forth between the dot in your scope and the target. Basically, in rifle shooting you want the scope, or you want the rear sight of a pistol, for example, to be clear and the target to be slightly blurry. There are a very few people in the pro division that use this technique for bows. However, the vast majority of shooters that try to focus on the sight with the target slightly blurry make the situation worse. Anxiety builds and the result is full-blown target panic. The best thing to do is to focus on something that does not move – usually that’s the target. If you try to wrestle the dot in your scope into submission, it will only cause more problems. Let the dot do what it wants to do; let it move. Focus on the target. You’ll see that the dot circles the place on the target where you are focusing. That’s the best way for 98% of the archers to play the game.

Recently my cable broke on my bow. After it was recabled, I had to re-sight all of my pins in again. Is there an easier way?

Zero in at 40 yards at a horizontal line

There is an easier way, just in case it happens again. Always keep a logbook with all the pertinent information in it about your bow. It will be a life saver the next time you have an emergency, such as the one you just mentioned. Some of the entries you should record are as follows: Exact axle-to-axle measurement, the brace height and the exact poundage. If you shoot pins, lay them on the page of your logbook and trace continued on page 38 scores, tournament info and more at www.nfaausa.com 37

coach’s corner | continued from page 37

them; mark the exact pin gap and how they line up in relation to each other. Also record the exact distance between your nocking point and your peep, and exactly how far your nocking point is above 90 degrees. The following important information should be recorded about your arrows: Exact arrow grain weight, size, speed (feet-per-second at what pounds), and length. All of this information should be kept in your logbook and updated each time something changes, such as poundage or arrow size. Then, you can put things back where they belong if something goes wrong. If you had had this information after your bow was re-cabled, all you would have to do is shoot your arrow through a chronograph and crank the limbs in or out equally until you got the exact arrow speed as before. Make sure everything else is the same, according to your logbook. Then, go to the practice range and zero in at 40 yards at a horizontal line. Move the entire pin group up or down until the 40-yard pin lines up. If you can’t move the entire group at once, set the other pins so they line up EXACTLY like they did, according to the drawing in your logbook. If your 40 yard pin is on, then your 20, 30, 50 and 60-yard pins should shoot the way they did before. Pin gap is a function of arrow speed and arrow speed is a function of bow poundage and arrow weight, which is effected by string length and cable length. In your case, your cable length changed very slightly, so obviously the poundage probably changed very slightly, too. By keeping good, detailed records of your set up, the next time you have an emergency, you won’t have to start from scratch.

On single cam bows, the top round wheel is centered in the limb, therefore the string is centered. The bottom cam, with its 3 tracks, has a string to the left on a righthanded bow. This means the string does not run perfectly vertical. Should the sight bar be set perfectly vertical, or with a slight cant to follow the string?

When shooting a field round in Bowhunter Class, what is the best way to utilize the 5 sight pins, particularly for the 70- and 80-yard shots?

If you are shooting longer yardages, you may want to “gap” some of the yardages.

For target shooting, what distances should you use to get your marks for running a sight tape? 30 and 80 yards or do you use 20 yards and measurements like a chronograph, sight radius, etc.?

Pre-printed sight tapes are popular and are sold by various suppliers.

You should make the bubble level with the earth.

Because the string is not perfectly vertical really has nothing to do with how the sight should be set, because we’re only concerned with the section of the string where the nock attaches. So, no matter what angle the string is, it propels the arrow through the sight window at rest-height. Therefore, whether it is canted slightly to the right or the left makes no difference. The sight should be canted according to a vertical alignment with the earth; basically like plumb bob. You should be able to relax your hand with a heavy weight on the bottom of the bow, which would cause the bow to plumb bob. You do this with stabilizers, which most people do for ordinary shooting. At this point, you should make the bubble level with the earth so that the sight bar runs up and down with the plumb-bobbed bow.

There are several different ways to space your pins. Most people put them at 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60. However, shooters that shoot longer yardages like 70 and 80 might set them at 20, 30, 40, 60 and 80 yards. This way you can gap 50 and 70.

If you are going to run a ballistic curve or use a shooting computer like I used to use, what I found to be the best combination was 30 and 80 yards. I plugged those numbers into the program by Perry Radcliff called “The Archer’s Advantage.” It would give you all the marks from “birdie” targets all the way out to 80 yards. This is especially true if you use pre-printed sight tapes that are sold by various suppliers. If you use 20 yards, it may not be precise enough to give

you all your marks correctly.

Does a single pin sight make you more accurate than a multi-pin sight?

A single pin sight that is adjustable is obviously easier for most archers to aim because they can put

the pin in the center of the scoring area, whereas a multi-pin sight often times has to be “gapped”. That is one of the reasons that scores are usually higher in the freestyle division over the bowhunter freestyle division. Most BHFS shooters cannot aim as meticulously when they gap-shoot. But if a multi-pin sight is set for the yardage you are shooting, like a 20-yard indoor round and you can put the 20 yard pin in the middle of the target, then they are both the same.

Selecting a sight is very difficult nowadays because of the multitude of sights that are on the market but, in general, you need to match up the style of shooting to what the sight offers. For example, if you’re looking for a hunting sight, you may You need to match your style of shooting want to choose a fiberto what the sight offers. optic that is very, very light so you don’t have to fight the weight that it adds to your bow while walking through the woods. You may want to have a sight that has a movable third axis if you’re shooting target.

For field ranges, you might want a sight that micro-adjusts.

There are so many different sights on the market for so many different applications that it’s really impossible to go into them in this format, but in general, you want to match up the archer’s budget, shooting style, application and experience with the appropriate sight. There is no need to buy a $400 sight if you just bought the bow last week and, if you’re an experienced hunter, a plastic $39.95 hunting sight probably won’t do, either.

How do I know what sight to select for my shooting style?

Rumor has it that the farther out that you extend the sight bar, the more accurate you will be. But here is the truth; the farther out you extend the bar, the more perceived movement you will have. The image you see through your scope now will seem to shake 1 to 4 times more.

The closer you can get Sight bar all the way out will give you a shakier picture. the sight to you, the less movement the sight will seem to have and the calmer you will stay. The archers that push it further out might not tell you it is more critical, but they will tell you it is more accurate. Technically, that might be correct, as in a sight on a 30-inch rifle barrel and a sight on a 36-inch rifle barrel. They are both extremely accurate, but the

What is the difference in having the sight closer to the riser or farther away from you?

36-inch barrel has a very slight edge. The farther away the front sight is from the back sight, technically the more accurate it is. Having the sight closer will cause Sight bar all the way in will make the pins closer together and a lot less shaky. the pins to be closer together. As you push it farther away, the sight gap gets larger. But, there is the problem of trying to hold steady. The farther away it is, the shakier you become and the quicker the sight picture will deteriorate.

You have all seen some of the pros that have their bars extended out as far as possible. You think that is the answer and you try it yourselves. What you forget to take into account is they probably have a 55 bpm (beats per minute) at rest and nerves of steel. Your heart rate is probably 72 bpm at rest, 110 bpm at a tournament and you feel like you’re gonna barf in your quiver! The sight dancing around can cause target panic; usually snapshooting and The sight on a 30-inch rifle barrel and a sight on drive-by shooting. a 36-inch barrel are both extremely accurate, but Some don’t the 36-inch barrel has a very slight edge at longer distances. want to move the sight in because the housing will no longer line up with the hole in the peep.

That is easily remedied by drilling out the peep sight, making the hole bigger.

So, for the vast majority of archers, unless you are a Type B personality, it’s better to have the sight bar pushed in as far as possible; no more than ½ way out. n

southern sectional outdoor tournament june 13 and 14, 2015 percy quinn archery club • mccomb, Miss.

The Southern Sectional Outdoor Tournament was held on June 1314, 2015, at Percy Quin Archery Club in McComb, Mississippi. The host club is the oldest range in Mississippi with a rich history in field archery. It has always been an NFAA official range and was the host for Southeastern Sectional tournaments when Mississippi was in that section. The range is located in Percy Quin State Park. All who participate in tournaments there are awed by the beauty of the virgin pine timber through which the shooting lanes meander. Although the club once boasted of two complete 28 target ranges, it now has only one range which is maintained completely by two avid NFAA members, Billy Jacobs, who serves as the president of the club as well as the secretary of the Mississippi State Archery Association, and Garry Randall, who is the long-time NFAA director from the state of Mississippi. These two men decided to make this tournament as memorable as possible for the participants. Not only did they work tirelessly to have the range in perfect shape, but they also showed the visitors why Mississippi is called “the hospitality state” by providing food and drinks free of charge. The grilled elk burgers and the pulled pork sandwiches were a treat not often found at sectional tournaments. The generosity of these hosts was just a small way of saying thanks to all who came to Percy Quin.
