PSE TECHNOLOGY BREEDS A BETTER PRODUCT

Experienced Bowhunter and Professional Tournament Archer. Pete, President and founder of PSE, has proven his equipment on the tournament circuit and while hunting grizzlies to whitetails. His engineering back ground has led PSE to become the leader in technologically advanced archery equipment.

Tradition has been the heart and soul of archery since man first drew his bow. Today, at PSE, we continually strive to enrich that tradition by designing and manufacturing the most advanced I archery equipment available. •New for 1985, the PSE COUNTER POISE | HARNESS SYSTEM, allowing the cables I to be terminated 1" in front of the axle, I thus distributing the draw force evenly I over the entire limb tip. I *An improved PSE TRUE CAM lighter I and faster than the ‘soft’ cams found M on many other bows. PSE performance a stands alone in the cam bow field. ■ •Improved PSE 6 STAGE E-WHEELS. ■ redesigned for 1985 to improve ■ performance of the round eccentric. ■ The 6 STAGE E-WHEEL offers 1" ■ shorter or 1" longer than M manufactured draw length, plus 16" and 5 lb. weight adjustments made through the 'Power Slot’ on the opposite side of the wheel. Far and away the most versatile wheel made today. •PSE also offers the only patented EASY CHANGE CABLE SYSTEM on the market today, making repairs and cable changes possible in the field on all of our bows. These are a few of the reasons why ‘PSE Technology’ makes the Tradition of Archery’ a little richer.

Bennie Mooer. NFAA President

NFAA has just finished a successful archery year. We had a record Indoor Championship in March, and a Outdoor Championship In Darrington. Washington. Each section had an indoor and outdoor tournament which gave everyone a chance to compete without to much travel.

Page 8 lists the dates and location of the NFAA tournaments for 1986. Please make arrangements to attend as many as possible.

The Annual Meeting will be held in Seattle in February. There are several Important Items on the agenda, and each State NFAA Director will need input from the archers in his state so he can help decide which direction the NFAA will take in 1986.

Targets—There has been two agendas submitted for changing the targets and scoring. One agenda item is to change back to the old targets and scoring used before 1977. Another agenda item would be to use the present target and change the scoring circles. The third possibility would be to leave the target as is. Last year there was quite a discussion on how the new targets had dropped the attendance of archers competing in club and state tournaments. I am sure the target we are using today are on the hard side, which has made better shooters of the ones that are willing to work to Improve their scores. Whether changing targets and scoring will help the membership is the question that needs to be answered.

There sire several agenda Items on Bowhunter shooting rules, some want more pins. I think it is time to open up the sights In the Bowhunter Division. We try to convince ourselfs that we are trying to keep our equipment inline with what the archers hunt with. The magazines are full of all sorts of crosshair and other sights and they are using these to hunt. This could be another reason that by restricting the Bowhunter Division equipment shooters rules, our attendance has fallen off.

The NFAA State Directors will have ( the agenda books by the time you read ' this, please discuss the agenda items as their votes will determine the direction this Association will take.

Last year the directors voted to start the NFAA Scholarship Program. The application forms have been sent to the ' Councilman and Directors. If you feel I there is someone deserving of this t award, please have forms filled out and L sent in. as they will be awarded at the Annual Meeting in February.

Part III Equipment Variables (As Applied to Archery)

Before going into Part III entitled "Equipment-Variables", allow me to emphasize the need and importance ofshooting the bow and arrow properly. Fact is. it is absolutely imperative to make sure we are in complete command of our shooting abilities before haphazardly and unjustfully blaming our equipment without cause. It is with these foremost thoughts In our mind that I devoted a proceeding section of this article to the subject dealing with the all important topic. “HumanVariables". The objective of this effort is to No. 1 probable cause of ALL archery shooting discrepancies ... "HumanVariables".

HUMAN-VARIABLES The familiar age old philosophy known to us as “To error Is human" certainly applies to our beloved sport of archery. This element dealing with human error, is ever present and ready to afflict every archer shooting since the dawn of mankind. Numerous discrepancies greatly Influencing and affecting the degree and accuracy displayed by our shooting. Include all of the following shooting faults. These unwelcomed variables can be attributed to Improper learning, loss of tension, inability to aim properly, flinching, anticipation of the release, freezing off the target (target-panic), gripping the bow, dropping the bow arm, inconsistancy of draw, shooting on the move, improper anchor, varying head position, peeking, string Interferency. lack of follow through and Improper practice.

This list is comprehensively endless and can be augmented to include hundreds of other score robbing factors - all of which are usually attributed to human error and variations induced by the shooter himself. Selecting which of these maladies most adversely affects the loss of scoring points could produce a quandry. In answer to this question, I would have to choose Improper learning, "target-panic”, lack of proper practice and once again emphasize the Importance of aiming. For the benefit of our readers, the following brief descriptions of these topics ensue.

IMPROPER LEARNING Improper learning is certainly one of the most detrimental setbacks contributing to poor shooting and responsible for the posting of low scores. For the most part, many archery newcomers teach themselves to shoot or depend on advice from Incompetent fellow archers who are not qualified to undertake this all important task. The archers usually end up in the ranks of the "Fun" shooter class who do not wish to shoot for score, and continue to claim they are only shooting for the fun of it. If all beginners were taught to AIM a bow WITHOUT SHOOTING one single arrow for at least two weeks. We would in all likeness produce a lot more championship calibre shooters within a shorter period of time. Unfortunately, beginners are more concerned with the element of hitting the target than anything else. From personal observation, the majority of beginners simply want to shoot, shoot and shoot, hoping for a hit of any kind. It is during this crucial learning period that beginners acquire the misconception that more arrows they shoot the better they will become. From this day forward, the majority of these neophytes will inadvertently continue to practice their mistakes over and over again - untill these habits become permanently

ingrained automatic conditioned negative reflexes. The ultimate result, another "fun” shooter or permanent dropout for the book. TARGET PANIC Beyond a doubt, the worse problem responsible for the majority of archers departing permanently from the shooting lines is a shooting descrepancy labeled “Target-Panic”, “it”, "doom”, or simply the inability to aim. hold and voluntarily release the bowstring when ready. This malady has been explained as a conditioned reflex which makes the archer release before he is ready to shoot - involuntarily. For the most part, beginning archers, anious to shoot and score, start turning loose of the bowstring the instant the bowsight touches the spot. Archers shooting in the manner may experience fair success in the beginning but gradually succumb to eventual loss of control as this condition evolves into a conditioned reflex. Fortunately, those archers afflicted with this dreaded archery disease can employ the use of a magical device called the “clicker" which mechanically replaces the voluntary element of effecting and releasing the shot. Many release-aid shooters, plagued with "punching" their release-aids or freezing off the spot, can also employ the use of the "clicker" which permits the archer to aim and hold on target until the triggering sound of the clicker-blade tells them to release. Archers experiencing renewed success are most likely to stay in competitive archer providing they continue to experience success and are willing to devote the time and effort required to seek out and correct their own shooting discrep ancies. PROPER PRACTICE Following are some relevant facts related to practice as applied to archery. PROPER practice is one of the most important elements of successful archery. It is commonly known that any form repealed practice will eventually

. . Continue . . develop into automatic execution, thus becoming a conditioned learned reflex. However, it Is equally important to bear in mind that if we practice an improper action or habit, it too will eventually become automatic — to the point we may be totally unaware we are doing something incorrectly. The longer we practice bad habits, the ingrained they become and the more difficult to correct they become.

Archers striving to improve their scores must make sure they are not practicing their mistakes over and over again. Shooting under the watchful eye of a qualified instructor will prevent negative practice by bringing to light any and all shooting discrepancies present and incorporated into our shooting form. Other additional benefits derived from proven remedial suggestions offered by instructors may help to greatly improve your shooting. Pertaining to archery, practice does not always make perfect. PROPER PRACTICE makes perfect! It is not the quantity of arrows we shoot that is important — Instead, it is the quality of the shot of a well aimed arrow that determines where the arrow will ultimately land.

paragraph dealing with equipment variables. The truth of the matter is that virtually no one is willing to read an article dealing with repeated criticism of one s personal shooting form. On the other hand, an at tractive headi ng with a selected title/subject we can easily place the blame on. often succeeds in attracting the attention of readers. Hopefully, in this case, we have succeeded in doing just that.

IMPORTANCE OF AIMING Apologizing for the repetative nature of my writings, the importance of AIMING cannot be over emphasized. Aiming IS beyond a doubt. THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF ARCHERY. BAR NONE! One of the best championship archers of years past once asserted that any archer who aims, holds, and releases when he Is ready will shoot astronomical record scores. Agreeing with this statement. 100%. many present day champions repeatedly acclaim that the archer who aims best wins! The best instructor in the world cannot produce a champion unless the archer has the ability to alm. hold, release and follow through correctly. This applies to all divisions including freestyle and bare-bow classes. PRACTICE AIMING — instead of merely shooting a quantity of arrows.

With the quality of today s high "state of the art" archery equipment and advanced technology, modern day bow/arrows continue to perform flawlessly arrow after arrow. In reality, their is verylittle that cango wrongwith present day archcry equipment — excluding normal wear and tear. In spite of these advancements, you will Inadvertently continue to hear criticism directed at shooting equipment claiming VARIABLES and variations thereof. Variations in Equipment are. in reality, practically non-existant. Before we launch a verbal attack and continue to blame our equipment. let's take a long look at our personal shooting form and carefully evaluate, correct and properly apply practice techniques that will benefit our shooting.

EQUIPMENT VARIABLES Just about now. you will, no doubt, begin to wonder what happened to the

NEWS FROM THE INDUSTRY PEARSON INTRODUCES “THE BEST RELEASE" Pearson Archery has Introduced a mechanical string release with a new anti-torquing feature. Dubbed The Best Release, the casehardened steel device has a handle that rotates 360 degrees, and eliminates torquing the bowstring. Thejaws of the release, when pushed against a bowstring, automatically lock on. then must be cocked before the release is activated. Trigger sensitivity is adjustable, and the release may be thumb or finger activated. The Best Release is just what Its name proclaims, the best target and hunting release available to the archer. Several years of research went into the development of the new product, which is being featured in the 1986 Pearson Archery catalogue. For a free copy, write P.O. Box 7465. Pine Bluff. AR 71611. Pearson is one of the country’s largest manufacturers of archery equipment and related products. Including Himalayan camouflage clothing and packs.

NEW DESIGNS FOR 1986 FROM PSE Pete Shepley. President of PRECISION SHOOTING EQUIPMENT, has accessories for 1986. The heart of the new equipment Is the totally new CENTER FLITE tm RISER, which allows total clearance for both broadheads and vanes, with or without an over draw - clearance never before available to the archer. THE CENTER FLITE 6 and CENTER FLITE 7 RISERS also offer precise accessory mounting slots which eliminate movement and ensure positive position of sights, arrow rests and other accessories. A matched system of accessories will also be available as part of the CENTER FLITE SYSTEM. "Never before have risers and accessories been designed to work so well together," Shepley said. The first major showing of PSE's new line of equipment will be at the Shot Show In Houston in January. 1986. However, PSE Is planning to have new CENTER FLITE bows on dealers’ shelves by December, 1985. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gerry Koehlke Com/Mrktg. Mgr. (602)884-9065

WEST VIRGINIA WHITETADL GET-TOGETHER________ N ineteen people had registered for the West Virginia Whitetail Hunt this past October. Seventeen of us showed up at the Get-Together in Elkins. Not bad. percentage wise, but in total numbers, we were a little disappointed. But this was the first year and we can see this attracting a lot of people in the future. USA

The largest deer was taken by Fred Homlck. a 170’4. 8 point whitetail. Second place went to Sandra Homlck, Fred's sister-in-law with another 8 point weighing in at 152 Lbs. Sandra’s husband took third place with a 7 point weighing 123'4 Lbs. Sandra also took a nice black bear. Not too bad of a week for the Homicks 11! Wayne and Sandra were also lining up the Volunteer Fire Hall for the Get-Together. They did an outstanding job and we want to again, congratulate them. At the Get-Together we had the pleasure of listening to Gene Blackshire. Gene makes and sells turkey calls and knows his business quite well. Even I can use one or two of his calls and at least have a gobbler return my calls, but so far. no turkey. Gene is also a great speaker and hopefully, the knowledge gained will help to put a turkey on the table.

Dr. Dave Samuels followed up with a talk on the herd in West Virginia and the success their game department has had with deer. Dave is the National President of the International Bowhunter Education Program. He Is also a wildlife biologist at the University of West Virginia. Another great presentation. After these two great speakers we gave out the awards and then ate a superb meal prepared by the ladies auxiliary of the Fire Dept After the meal we gave out door prizes and everyone who attended received several, thanks to the contributors: Budweiser Tink Nathan of Safariland Hunting Corp. (Tink was more then generous: Thanks Tink!) Gene Blackshire

All told It was not a bad hunt or GetTogether. However, after talking to most of those there, and thinking about the present setup, we have started thinking about the following changes. The contest will run from opening day of the West Virginia season until the last Saturday of October. This will be about two to three weeks. We will have our Get-

So It looks like this Idea will really catch on in another year or two. If you want to see a great deal of game. Including bear, turkey, grouse, and of course, deer, this will be a great time to do it. And if West Virginia allows you to take two deer in some of their counties next year as this year, you can get a double bonus. Again, thanks to all of you who attended and hunted In West Virginia We want to again especially thank the Homicks. Gene Blackshire. Dave Samuel, and the ladles of the Beverly Fire Hall. Yours for better Bowhunting. Bill Stone

NEW JERSEY OUTDOOR STATE FIELD ARCHERY CHAMPIONSHIPS 1985 The New Jersey State Field Archery Association held it's 1985 Outdoor State Championship at Shongum Sportsman In Denvllle, New Jersey on August 24 & 25. 1985.

The event was dedicated to the memory of Gus Belmont an active archer In the NFAA for the past 20years. Gus contributed his time and sole to archery consistantly assisting his fellow archers and especially children whom he loved. The members of his home club. Algonquin Bowmen, will feel his loss the most since he was Club Treasurer for fouryears and President for seven years. Gus was very active in the State Field Archery Association volunteering his services for three years as Vice President of N. J. S. F. A. A and a Bow Club Representative for 9 years. As a New Jersey State Hunter Safety Instructor for eight years, holding the position of Crew Caption. Gus' efforts made the woods a lot safer for those of us that bowhunt. Gus' loss will be felt by many archers in the tri state area becuase Gus' amiable personality crossed state lines. We sincerely hope that Gus has found peace - he will be sorely missed.

ARCHERY FOR THE BLIND AND WHEELCHAIR CONFINED

. Afterjust a Few shots Tom was able to shoot with Just our giving him directionsfrom behind oJLeft Right Up or Down. (BUND SHOOTER)

We were helping two Wheelchair Confined Youth shoot a bow for thejlrst time In their life.

Archery for the BLEND or WHEELCHAIR Confined Youth

Horseshoes. Softball hitting. Forty Yard Dash, and an Obstacle course Team Event (A blind person pushing a wheelchair youth through the course for fastest time.) In several of these sports a beeping sound is used to help guide the blind. Myself, my wife Joan and our son Peter were asked if we would set up and supervise the Archery Competition and Demonstration for this Jamboree, as we had done in September 1984 for the Special Olympics at Sonoma State hospital. This being th first Jamboree for the West Coast, neither we nor The Telephone Pioneers were sure how many participants would enter. We set up the American Round target at ten yards for this event and had the youth shoot 5 arrows each. The thing to remember is that these individuals hadn’t shot before, and most were severely handicapped, but they enjoyed shooting Just as must as we do. Because this year was the beginning for the Jamboree, the archery was set up as a demonstration event. We did not have the use of the special equipment used normally by the participants.

The Telephone Pioneers of America have for several years sponsored a Sports Jamboree at Cairo. West Virginia, for youths from 12 years through 20 years of age, who are either blind or conflnded to a wheelchair. The purpose of this Jamboree is to teach and help them participate and enjoy different types of sports just as we do. filling their lives with another satisfaction of accomplishment Until this year west coast participants had to travel to West Virginia to take part in this program. On August 3.1985 The Telephone Pioneers of America’s California and Nevada Chapters sponsored the First Annual West Coast Sports Jamboree at Candlestick Point State Park, in San Francisco. California. At this Jamboree just as in Cairo. West Virginia youths from the age of 12 through 20 years, who, are either blind or confined to a wheelchair competed in the following sports events of their choice. Archery, Free Throw Basketball.

What we did was physically assist each shooter in his or her shooting, and for the blind we also gave them directions of Left, Right, Up or Down. Next year the Archery program will have the special equipment designed for blind and wheelchair archers. For the blind archer, they use a light sensative sight designed by Roger Balcom of Phoenix, Arizona. The sight is mounted on a conventional bow with an earphone arrangement for the archer. A light source is placed at the target and the archer moves the bow level with the sight until the sound heard Indicates "on target", then the arrow is released by the contestant. For the wheelchair confined archers a bracket has been designed which attaches to the wheelchair, to assist in holding the bow so the bow clears the wheelchair while shooting. This is to be an annual Sports Jamboree, and The Telephone Pioneers of America would like to have Archery Clubs or Individual Archers become Involved on coaching any of these handicapped youth who might live in your area If you know blind or wheelchair youth who would enjoy participating in any of the sports events, talk to them about leaming.then contact The Telephone Pioneers of America about their program. The Telephone Pioneers, for those of you like myself, who are not familiar with there organization, are Telephone Company employees with over eighteen years service time. They volunteer themselves for all types of community service projects and activities all across the United States and Canada. The Pioneers are the worlds largest voluntary association of Industrial Employees. If any of you are Interested In helping with this program contact a Telephone Pioneer in your area through your local Telephone Company, or write to Clyde Wright the Pioneer who was in charge of the Archery this year, or contact me and I will contact the Pioneers for you.
