President's Corner by Dean Hupp - President, NFAA

As you read this, the outdoor tournament season is in high gear, with the 47th National Outdoor at Wausau, WI being the NFAA archer’s ultimate challenge. If you haven’t attended a NFAA National Outdoor Tournament, then this is the one for you! The people of Wausau have been working long hours to make this national outdoors the best ever. Your friends will be there, so don't let us down ... we will be expecting you. The NFAA 3-D Nationals will be hosted by the Catawba Wildlife Club of Hickory, NC on August 22nd-23rd, a little over a month away. If you attended the 3-D tournament last year, you know what a great tournament it was. Tell your friends how much fun you had, and ask them to join you at this year’s shoot. There will be $30,000 (based on a full slate of 250 shooters) divided in the Money Division and, for those not shooting for money, there will be special

medals. Special 3-D belt buckles will also be awarded. This is a Pre-Registration tournament, and you must register by August 7th. Be 1 of 1000 that will shoot this tournament. We promise that we will do everything we can to see that you have a great 3-D shoot. 1993 Indoor National Tournament will be held in Louisville, KY the weekend of March 27th-28th. Your Tournament Chairman, Mr. Bennie Mooer and myself recently visited the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center to again inspect the facilities and finalize some of our plans. Some notes of interest: * Shooting site is large enough for everyone to compete in the same room. * Trade Show room will be located next the shooting room. * to Food Service, with tables and chain; in the immediate area.

WHAT MAKES HIGH COUNTRY SUPREME? We Have The Right People Pulling For Us! Like Dr. Randy Ulmer. Randy pulled a High Country bow to win the FITA World Championships, the NFAA Indoor Nationals, the IBO Western Triple Crown and IBO National Triple Crown. Randy also pulled a High Country bow to earn several trophies in the Pope and Young record book. Therefore, when Randy Ulmer pulls. We listen. We listen to what he likes. Or what he’d like to see changed. Each time we listen, we learn ways to build a better bow. And a better company. So, when we’re asked what makes High Country supreme? The answer is really quite simple. We have the right people pulling for us!

KEN ROGERS Candidate for NFAA President It was with much thought and contemplation that 1 accepted the nomination to this office. 1 had not aspired to the presidency before, but the enthusiasm of the directors in their nomination, and the response to that nomination, has brought to me that same sense of challenge and confidence which has sustained me in all positions to which I have previously been elected or appointed. Over the years, primarily due to travel assignments associated with my 24-1/2 years of military service, it has been my privilege to enjoy archery in a wide range of places and with a large cross-section of archers. Having served in all the usual elected and appointed offices of both club and state organizations, I have also been elected to leadership roles with the NFAA. In two states and one foreign association, I was elected NFAA Director. In North Carolina 1 was NFAA Director for over seven years. In Okinawa I founded the Okinawa Field Archery Association, which was the NFAA Far East affiliate for many years. In North Carolina I founded the North Carolina Field Archery Association, which remains the recognized NFAA affiliate for North Carolina. Upon retirement from the U.S. Marine Corps my wife Mie and I set up residence in North Carolina where we raised our three daughters. We now have four grandchildren. Nine years ago 1 was elected southeastern Councilman of the NFAA

especially the years as NFAA Director and Councilman, has certainly given me the confidence to seek office as your president. A platform would be nearly impossible without the first and most vital component of mine, to restore the faith and trust which must exist between the directors, councilmen and officers of the NFAA. Relations must be improved at all levels of NFAA administration, state and club administration, and the individual archer to assure a hannonious relationship at all levels and between all levels. Additionally, I have long been a proponent of more input from the stat associations through their NFA,Directors. My platform also inchick improvement in the following areas: NFAA Membership. Growth h been at near zero for several years ni generally predictable is an approximat 30 percent loss through non-renewal memberships, and an addition approximately the same number of n members for a net zero gain membership. Through aggress programs and personal contact, 1 beli this trend can be reversed. Increa membership at die club and state lex should be reflected at the national k and vice-versa. Fair and equitable rotation of 1 outdoor national tournament based an increased selection of bids from wh. to choose and consideration of the bids. Find a 3-D format that is palatable all sections and assure rotation of th tournament throughout the count: Update and streamline the nation, indoor tournament as regan registration, time and lane assignment and the award ceremony. , Increase participation at the section^ and national tournaments, as we <> activity at club and state lev£-\ Lastly and briefly, let me state ia elected, I will perfonn the c°nsritutic’ _ duties of the President as specified in constitution, and will cooperat partnership with the NFAA Boar Directors and the NFAA ®oariose Directors Council in carrying out duties. 1 will endeavor to see the -ve Directors, Councilmen and exe- t,ie body of the NFAA work together , benefit of the National Field t0 Association as a personal gain.

CHUCK CROWELL Candidate for NFAA Vice-President Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Chuck Crowell, and I have been Vice President of the National Field Archery Association for this present term. Two years ago I stated that we needed to better unite the Council and the Board of Directors. 1 feel we have come a long way in that endeavor. In 1991 we introduced a new brochure which will be used to promote The Certified Instmctor program has been very active with classes recently conducted in Yankton, SD, Lawrenceville, GA and Parkersburg, WV. Thanks to Bruce Cull, SD Director for his invomvement and active support of the NFAA Certified Instructor Program. Dakota Archery, Yankton, SD was the host for the second time for the program. Jack Veit, former Certified Instructor Chairman, conducted a special small class at Gwinnett Archery Club in Lawrenceville, GA. Jack continues to promote this important program. The school at Parkersburg, WV was conducted at the Mountain State Sportsmen’s Club and included individuals from three pro shops (Bowhunter Supply Inc. of Vienna, WV, Boone’s Bow Shop of Parkersburg, WV, and Fight-N-Buck Archery, Lawrenceburg, TN). Thanks to Rick Sutton, Mark Allen and Wayne Carr (WV Director) for their support.

the activities of the National Field Archery Association from bowhunting to tournament archery. I have also designed a new award which will be called the Presidential Special Achievement Award. This award will only be given sparingly and will fill the need between the Medal of Merit and the Compton Medal of Honor. 1 am now working on an easel style display which can either be hung on the wall or set on a counter. This display will also help promote the National Field Archery Association. The 3-D Tournament is off and running, but we need your help to make

it at least one thousand strong this year. We need to continue to be present at as many archery functions as possible. 1 feel that our presence at Vegas, Louisville and Atlantic City have more than offset the expense of being there. Dean, Pam and I have talked to many of the people there, and have promoted advertising as well as informing them of the benefits of the National Field Archery Association. I am asking for your vote in the upcoming election, and if re-elected to this office, I will continue to promote the National Field Archery Association and all it has to offer..

If your Club is interested in hosting the 1993 or 1994 NFAA 3-D National Tournament, submit your bid to NFAA Headquarters no later than November 1, 1992. RIC92-6 From: John Sheets, AK Director “Indoor score cards are currently of the format that each arrow be scored individually. Since most clubs in Alaska rent indoor ranges by the hour, this method is a waste of time and money. Also, since outdoor scoring is by total score and x-count, I feel we should be uniform with our scoring methods. Since I-5-C on page 74 does not say “scored individually, ” 1 rule that it will be sufficient to mark the indoor score cards in the same manner as outdoor field cards (i.e., hits, score, and x-count). This problem may have risen from having hundreds of score cards in stock, or just an oversight; but we need to be

uniform with our scoring in all rounds.” RIC RULING: Article VI, Section 5, Para. C, page 91 (1992 Rev.) states in its entirety: “All arrows will be scored an. recorded before touching or drawing anarrows from the target.” The RIC interprets “All arrows wi be scored and recorded...” as meanin individual arrows. The Nation Championship Tournament and tl majority (if not all) of the Section Championship Tournaments require th the scorer record each and every arm and the x-count. Further required is th each and every blank space for sco recording, including x-count, be fille. To not require the same at the state other level may tend to confuse tl archer as he/she advances to Section and National levels where such a omission may disqualify that archer. 1! RIC therefore disagrees with th Director and rules that individual arro\ are to be scored and recorded.

bloodbrothers by Ted Nugent Bowhunting and everything outdoors has forever been my life. Bom along the Rogue River in 1948, I was fortunate to enter a world where Les Paul just invented the electric guitar and Fred Bear had just reinvented hunting with the bow and arrow. Of course, if they hadn’t, I would have! From the time I could walk, I have divided my energies between the electricity of music and the peace of the great outdoors. There is “wild life” and there is “wildlife.” I want as much of each as I can possibly experience. Because I have always taken my hunting to heart, combined with my traditional family value upbringing, I became more and more angry over the years as I witnessed the gross misrepresentation of the hunter’s image. The picture pounded into the homes of America by left wing media is one of a fat, drunken, immoral, uneducated slob who relishes shooting stop signs and maiming cartoon characters. This irresponsible, vulgar lie drove me crazy. I knew that the caliber of individuals I had shared campfires with all my life were the polar opposite of this false portrayal. My dad, uncle, and guys like Fred Bear were honorable men who understood and held a deep respect for the human connection to the Spirit of the Wild. Upon Fred’s passing, 1 was driven to change that disgusting image perpetrated by the flagrant lies of the media at every rum. Somebody had to, and 1 had seen no effort beyond a continuing practice of preaching to the choir by our own so called representatives. Motivated by my great respect for Fred and his vision, combined with the continuing flow of letters I have always received from young people throughout my 25 years of recording and touring, I knew the truth had to be spread where no one had gone before, and in a way no one had tried before. My style is loud and proud, and it works. 1 was convinced that the sportsmen’s representation had historically been over cautious, to the point of being dispassionate, predictable and quite honestly, rather stuffy and k Jnkg' waC SJterile’ scriP«d approach renl|baCkflred a” al°ng’ in actually repelling young, potential, new shooting enthus^ts This had to be changed, and changed drastically. It was more th® apparent that the gun industry had hit 12

TNWB, in that industry people have been reluctant to support what is the strongest grass roots hunting/conservation organization to come along in a long, long time. And just as important, TNWB IS bringing in k new enthusiastic participants like NO OTHER can or will. This means SALES to manufacturers, game departments, and an overall house cleaning of the hunters image. Advertisers should think about that. Our TNWB publication is different, strong and free of the traditional trapping and rhetoric found in the non-progressive hunting press. It i about time. We must cease with th cover-up, and be comfortable with th word KILL. Never forget that FUN is very big part of why we hunt. Honesty always the best policy. Tire reluctance b the old guard to admit we kill our four and enjoy it, is at the root of why whave to re-educate the non-huntci about a very natural, dignified process i the real world.

I was also acutely aware of the network of dedicated bowhunters out there that constantly encouraged new shooters, so my efforts would work handin-hand with them, maybe pushing some reluctant individuals over the hump into the exciting lifestyle of bowhunting. It would be the effort of us, in total defiance of the handful of jerks out there who call themselves hunters, but ridicule and insult others because of equipment choice or shooting style. These clowns have got to get a life and learn to think, and realize that they are in fact the #1 worse enemy hunting and archery ever had. 1 don’t like them and am quite pleased that they don’t like me.

RELEASE-AID COMPATIBILITY AND YOUR SHOOTING Referring to archery and release-aids, the main problem that confronts and affects the majority of arrow shooters is attributed to the fact that we may be totally unaware or refuse to recognize the fact that the release-aid we are currently using may be completely incompatible to our mental make-up and that this phenomenon can account for our stagnant scores or lack of improvement with regards to our shooting efforts. Reflecting upon our archery experiences, how many of us recall the few occasional “whoops” or accidentally activated arrows that are released accidentally or are shot prematurely hitting the center of the spot to our surprise? Most will undoubtedly agree that the true effortless arrows are the easiest to shoot—for those are the arrows that do not allow the human thought process to interfere with the few seemingly self-firing and almost fully automatic arrows. In contrast, difficult shots are ones we labor most with— which results in over-holding and missing of our intended mark. Certainly, to make a statement that professes the selection of a suitable release device is easy. To do this, in reality, is the real task. What is really meant by the above statement, is that people who are “gun Shy” and afraid to place their finger on the trigger should not select a release-aid that has a tngger on it. If you are gun-shy and cannot place your finger on the trigger, your best option is to select a tnggerless release device which is of most benefit to those afflicted with punching or “triggering" the release. For information purposes, release devices come in infinite varieties with many models, including “triggerless”

14 -* Archery

releases made by several manufacturers. The purpose of these novelties is to provide releases designed to combat “punching” or “triggering” of the release. These therapeutic marvels, and clever devices, are mostly pressure activated and are fired by rotating the handle portions of the devices which effects the shot by changing die angle of die head assembly in relationship to the body of the device. For the most part, the head portions contain the nylon loop that wraps around the bowstring. Release devices that fall in the “triggerless” category include the “Stanislawski” release, the ER-300 (back tension) release, and the novel “Versa-T” which is a unique release that can be bow-weight adjusted to fire by pulling against the stops of the compound bow. Acquiring Proper Trigger Control Shooters that insist on using a trigger type release will find that the easiest manner to shoot a bad shot is to jerk or “punch” the trigger which is totally incorrect and not recommended. Of importance to the expert archer/bowman proper trigger squeeze is second only to holding the bow as steady and humanly possible! To shoot well, it is imperative to concentrate on squeezing the release trigger gradually while trying to minimize your range of motion. Simply try to minimize your realm of motion to holding within the ten ring or spot of the target. the squeeze of the trigger should be ever so gradual so that when the shot occurs, it should happen as a total surprise and not at the exact

snap the trigger as the sight approach the bullseye, it doesn’t take us long realize that “punching a ten” by jerkii will eventually result in perpetual “w: shots” that impact far and wide from < intended marks leading to “target-pani and loss of mental control which devastating and demoralizing to ; shooters. The best method to cure flinchii and jerking is to make up your mind rl you will not flinch or jerk wh shooting! The second phase of ti antidote is to acquire a triggerless relea and to leam to shoot a surprise shot un you no longer jerk the trigger. If a person can convinc himself/herself that jerking and flinchii i produce poor shots, then they will ream that there is no reason to continue doin this and thus improve their shootinr with the help of a compatible release device. The greatest training exercise appl|e(i and used by many expert pistol shooter? is the practice of “dry firing” and aimingThe procedure involves placing a sma black dot at one end of a room, then aiming and squeezing the trigger unt> the hammer falls or clicks. We all realize that this practice is done with the gtin

Ha* R°P6

looper

unloaded, without using cartridges and noting exactly where the sight picture ends up when the hammer clicks. By practicing dry firing, it is possible to develop a smooth and controlled trigger squeeze and to notice relevant mistakes made, including flinching, when pulling the trigger. However, it takes considerable practice to perfect your trigger squeeze and to learn proper trigger control. Yes, the technique of dry firing can be applied to archery if the proper release device is utilized. Recently, within the last two years or so, Scott Wilson of Denver developed a dry-fire wheel for his own Stanislawski release. The purpose of this unique wheel device was to employ a full-moon notched wheel to replace the half-moon dump which gave Scott an audible and sensory signal designating when the release would have occurred without any actual shooting! In this manner, the revolutionary wheel serves as an excellent training device which permits dry-firing, builds strength and allows the archer to aim— without shooting. Archers can thus see their mistakes during the course of aiming without repeating their mistakes or shooting errant arrows over and over

like many archers do. Another release that can be used to great advantage is the Model 8 "Cascade” release which was primarily designed as a reverse-trip mechanical release. To shoot, the shooter presses the thumb lever to engage, then gradually relaxes the thumb to a shoot as he aims and holds. A new discovery, by this writer, divulges that the nylon rope loop can be looped onto the open pivot rotor, a practice which allows the release to be engaged audibly and also allows engagement/disengagement of the mechanism without shooting or releasing the arrow! (Remember, the loop must be placed onto the larger end of the rotor while it is in the open position—or the release will fire!) Using the above-mentioned procedure, the archer can practice dry firing by coming to full-draw, aiming, then pressing the thumb lever to engage, which produces the preparatory audible click. Assimilation of firing is accomplished by relaxing the thumb while aiming which produces the second audible click. In this manner the archer can build strength, and also see if he is subject to flinching or anticipating the

release. This valuable practice can be accomplished without shooting one single arrow! Proven findings lead us to believe that even if an archer flinches the first time or two, he can leam to re-program his mind to accept seeing the sight in the middle which eventually helps to overcome “flinching” or “punching” by use of the proper procedures and outlines.

EXTINCTION

Thousands of years ago, naturally changing ecological conditions caused extinction. Today it’s habitat alterations or destruction, pollution, and exploitation that causes the decline of many wild animals and plants. Today, there is a rare and unique species that may be nearing extinction all over the world. What’s worse is that we don’t seem to be alarmed. It’s habitat is threatened by well-meaning, yet unknowledgeable people. Some “private agenda” groups would like to see it exterminated like the dinosaur. This species is an essential piece of ecology. Without it, many other species could and would become extinct. How can one species have such a drastic effect on so many of the wildlife species we all enjoy? And more important, why has this vital species come under attack and become a possible candidate for eradication? Could it be the effect that animal rights groups are having on legislature and judicial system? Could it be the power of the press as they air biased reporting? Could it be special interest groups more concerned with money? Or could it be you and I, sitting silently on the sidelines, waiting for the smoke to clear and willing to let someone else tell us how it’s going to be? This special species has been developing for hundreds of years and has learned to adapt to an ever-changing and sometimes hostile environment. It has learned that humans don’t always have the right answers. It’s learned that making mistakes is not the greatest tragedy—not learning from this is. It’s hard to stand by and watch a species of this type disappear. It’s hard for me because I’ve watched in awe as this untiring species dedicates its life to studying and understanding all other

20-*^2L

creatures. It’s hard to think of the world without the influence of mother nature’s spec ies-of-grea test-potential—the biologist! As a final thought, imagine what could happen if the biologists are no longer permitted to make sound wildlife management decisions. When the “legal” Goliath meets the “science” David, we better hope the slingshot doesn’t fail. What our species, the Bowhunter does could greatly impact the future of the greatly-needed species, the biologist; and many other species that share your country and planet.

NFAA Bowhunring and Conservation Committee presented Ted Nugent with a Letter of Appreciation for his outstanding work on his Kamp for Kids Program.

A letter from Ted: Our TED NUGENT KAMP FOR KIDS is holding two sessions this June and August, 1992. A non-profit, tax exempt organization, run strictly by super-hard-working volunteers, this is the ultimate in “hands-on” hunting and conservation education and training for young people. 1 decided that a special attractions had to be developed for kids, to let them know that outdoor recreation, particularly bowhunting, was loads of fun and “cool.”

This three-day event includes NBEF classes, a 3-D target course, SCI “Shootdon’t Shoot” screen event, roast wild hog with all the excitement of a hunting campfire, and my presentation on my life of hunting, fishing and trapping, as a conscientious participant in the natural balance of the wild. Self-esteem, family values, and a strict code of discipline and ethics are driven home as the basis for all meaningful endeavors of life and the hunt. Fair-chase is emphasized, and understanding the ways of the wild is explained, paralleling life’s adventure. All this is shared with these young people, without ever losing my sense of excitement or responsibility. A hard-line, militant, anti-drug and alcohol message is dealt with seriously. And it works. With a major dose of my rock-n-roll hunting songs performed at the campfire, the fun factor is extremely contagious. And that is just what this sport has desperately needed for a long, long time. Hundreds of kids and their families have left this unique camp genuinely enthused, getting their hunter safety certificates, buying hunting licenses and equipment, getting out o the malls and the joke of tire inner city streets, laughing in the face of follo"'s and their poisons, and becoming believers in die grand scheme of w‘ldl> e conservation. It is truly glorious. T he look in their eyes is worth it all. .

NFAA BOWHUNTER’S SPOTLIGHT BETTY BRINGS IN “CACTUS” BUCK

Betty Gulman has seen just about everything in 30 years of bowhunting. But when the vivacious brunette from Fullerton, California saw her first cactus buck, she couldn’t help but be surprised. “I’ve killed quite a few deer, but I had never seen anything at all like this,” Gulman said. “I was looking for a good four point buck, good enough for Pope and Young (the record book for archery hunters). But I passed up a couple of opportunities for this guy.” “The moment 1 saw him 1 knew I had to have him.” “The buck had sprouted seriously deformed antlers, the result of a hormonal imbalance thought to be caused by losing his testicles in a fight or on a fence. Gulman was hunting on a private ranch near Panguitch, Utah, during a special limited license hunt when she got her shot at the extraordinary buck. Only six non-resident licenses are drawn each year for the area, and this was Gulman’s first attempt at getting a permit. “Some of my friends have tried for years to get into the drawing, and I did it on the first try,” Gulman said, laughing. “Imagine what they’ll say when 1 show them this mount.” Gulman said the Panguitch area has a reputation for producing record-sized bucks, but then she found time was ninning out. “This was the third-to-the-last day of the season, but I had wanted to make sure I got a nice trophy,” said Gulman, a member of several bowhunters clubs, including an honorary membership in the Grand Mesa Bowmen. “I was hunting (near) a waterhole when this buck appeared. A skillful archer, Gulman downed the buck with a 25-yard shot to the heart from her recurve bow. The mount is being prepared by Rick Weaver of Rick’s Taxidermy in Clifton. “This is only the second cactus buck I’ve seen,” said Weaver, who has mounted several hundred deer heads in his profession. I ve done a lot of nontypical mounts, but this is by far the weirdest I’ve ever seen.” From the Daily Sentinel, September 15, 1991.

Bowhunting Around The World

BRINGING HOME THE BACON

■

Whether you live in Los Angeles or Kansas City, Paris or Sydney, there is one specie of animal that can usually be found within a day’s drive from home; an animal that presents a thrilling challenge to any hunter who is looking for a tough intelligent and often dangerous quarry. This tenacious and elusive critter is tire wild pig, and it comes in as many different varieties as Imelda Marcos’ shoe collection. Here in the United States, we are likely to encounter the European (also called Russian) Boar, which was transplanted to both North and South America by the early European settlers, mainly the Spaniards. These animals, along with their diluted offspring, the Feral pig (a crossbreed of the wild European and domestic hog), can be found from California to New York and many of the states in between. In the Southwest, especially Texas and Arizona, one can readily encounter the white collared Peccary (Javelina), a smaller but no less aggressive pig-like creature that thrives on Prickly Pear Cactus. Further south, throughout Central and South America, additional varieties of the Javelina can be found including the White-lipped Peccary and the rarer Chacoan Peccary, a protected larger variety, with a habitat limited to Northern Argentina, Southeast Bolivia and Western Paraguay, where they overlap with the introduced European pigs. The cousin of the European boar, the Eurasian wild pig, can be found in large numbers throughout Asia, and the Soul Pacific. Additional Asian species of wild pigs include the Javan Warty pig fr0^ Indonesia, the Bearded pig Malay" Sumatra and Borneo, the Celebes wild pig from Sulawesi in the Celebes and the two rarer and protected species, the Pygmy hog from the Himilayan foothills

of Assam and the Babirusa from the Sulawesi, Togian, Sulu and Burn Islands in Southeast Asia. The latter is a very curious looking hog, with an extra set of tusks protruding through the top of its snout. The continent of Africa offers three distinctively different species of wild hogs, the Warthog, Bushpig and the Giant Forest Hog. The Warthog, which is extremely prolific, can be found throughout Africa, south of the Sahara, and is easily recognizable by its protruding facial warts (two on a female and four on a male). The Bushpig is also widely distributed south of the Sahara and in Madagascar. This animal is more nocturnal and is seldom seen during the day. The Giant Forest Hog which frequently exceeds 700 pounds and also

sports facial warts, can be found in the Central African Congo basin and parts of West and East Africa. One common characteristic of all the wild pigs and boars, is the fact that they have rather poor eyesight but a very good sense of hearing and an excellent sense of smell. Making a silent stalk downwind quite often results in a twenty-yard shot at a totally unsuspecting animal. Let the wind change unfavorably, however, and a nose sensitive hog will turn on his hooves and head for the high country while still several hundred yards away from the hunter. One of the better shots with a bow or a gun is to hit the animal behind the shoulder as he’s quartering away. A straight-on broadside shot at a

k’t-SA A mature boar is quite often ineffective if the arrow or bullet strikes the tough shield that covers most of the shoulder area. The hide on the shield is much thicker because of the excessive scar tissue built up from tusk inflicted wounds caused by continual fighting among large males. In the United States the use of hounds to hunt wild boar is quite popular, but anyone whose hunted these formidable tuskers without the use of dogs, can tell you that it can be a very sporting and memorable experience, one that can really get the adrenaline flowing. If you’ve ever been chased up a tree by an enraged four hundred pound tusker, it puts new meaning to the phrase “Bringing Home the Bacon.”

ADVICE FROM AN ALASKAN ADVENTURER ____________________________________ by Dave Schonfelder

Alaska for most is a dream, for some a reality, but for one man it was an adventure to be played out on over sixty different occasions. Larry Jones not only harvested magnificent trophy animals with the bow and arrow, but also acquired a great wealth of woodsmanship. We are fortunate indeed to receive his advice. Here is some of Larry’s thoughts for anyone planning to hunt Alaska. * Don’t hunt alone—leave a detailed map of where you intend to hunt with someone. * Footing may be sure going into a remote hunting area, but should the weather change footing could become extremely difficult— good broken-in footgear is a must—a pair of tennis shoes is great for crossing streams or to wear around camp—extra socks are a must. * One frequently used addition to Larry’s pack was a ten-foot square plastic sheet, he used it as a shelter from rain or snow. * Good physical conditioning is a must— carry a weighted pack two or three weeks prior to the hunt in order to condition the muscles that you will use on the hunt. * On long hikes Larry would often carry extra food (canned peaches, etc.) on the way in and drop them off at know points to be used to restore his energy on his way out. * Common items in his pack were lip balm (a must), dehydrated food, cord, water purification tablets, flashlight w/extra batteries (seldom used), fishing line and hooks, and not to mention his photography gear. Larry would occasionally walk into wilderness areas traveling twenty-five miles in eight and a half hours. He would plan aerial resupply on extended trips and often eat blueberries to supplement his water intake. During most of the 1960’s his adventures took him around the world, from jungles to life with the Laplanders. If an Alaskan hunt is in your future, I hope you can draw some useful information from Larry’s advice, as I know I have. Good luck and good hunting.

ATWOOD’S LAWS OF ARCHERY 1. Atwood’s Law of Archery groups: If a normally fast group has trouble on the first target, the slow group behind it will insist on shooting through. 2. Atwood’s Rule of optimism -

There’s a 50% chance of a Robin Hood - on your second arrow, either you make one or you don't. 3. Atwood’s Law of Braggin Rights For every outstanding shot relived after a shoot, there are a dozen misses, of which nothing is said.

PRODUCT EVALUATION by Norm Mallonee ALPINE PRO 3D

The management of Alpine Archery Co., which is a very new archery company, began with a drive for excellence and total dedication to perfection. In a few short years they have definitely come of age with a breakthrough in old traditional ways of doing business as an archery company, innovative design concept, quality, performance and safety standards. In 1989 they created a stunning new idea with their Silverado Series of bows. It began with a desire to build the finest Piece of archery equipment in the world. The heart of the bow was the machined tiser. It is machine-sculpted from fourteen pounds of solid 6061 T-6 aircraft grade aluminum. This particular material Was chosen for its incredible tensile strength-to-weight properties. It was tttachined rather than cast to allow for exacting tolerance demanded of this bow. This exciting new handle measures .1/2 inches in length. The sight window is a full six inches in length. On the opposite side of the sight window is an integrated sight and overdraw Jhounting system designed into the riser, he finishing touches include rotary ehgraving on the riser assembly ant Choices of blue, red or black high-gloss 0 0rs- There are four slotted, weightSlicing areas in the sight window and rie dotted area below the stabilizer hole.

The bow that Alpine sent me for ^aluatton was their 3D Series bow. ttn the popularity of the 3D tournament and the IBO Triple Crown events, this particular bow surely fits the need for the type of bow that can deliver extremely fast, flat shooting arrow after anow with unfailing accuracy, and that is what the Alpine Pro 3D bow is all about. Nowhere will you find a bow better suited to meet the rigors of the 3D circuit than the Pro 3D bow. Every detail is painstakingly constructed and inspected to meet the lofty standards set down by the Alpine Company. Alpine also has come up with an industry' first with a two-piece shelf for added clearance and safety and is held in place with two screws. The two-piece zebra wood grip that is standard equipment on the bow complements the looks of the bow, is well-done and makes for a very fine feeling grip. The 16-inch limbs are constnicted of solid filament, reinforced Gordon Power-Tuff. The thickness of the limb tapers from both ends toward the center or the working part of the limb. This, of course, results in the typical hinged limb effect which is common in most compound bows. The limb tip slots are located on the centerline of the limbs and are cut approximately four inches to accommodate the large cams. The base of each slot is reinforced by a pair of attractive chrome washers and they offer added reinforcement for this critical area. The limbs are mounted in removable machined limb pockets with precision pivots (an industry first). The limb bolts thread into steel pivoting cylinders for three-point alignment. The limbs exact are cross-drilled 3/8-inch from limb tip to mount the axle. The limbs are painted black with the name “Silverado” beautifully done on each limb. The Pro 3D bow that Alpine sent me came with 5/64 heavy cables throughout, with tear drops and dacron string. It can easily be re-fitted with complete Fast Flite System and can be ordered that The vapor cam is a well-made machined cam with lots of stored energy', and I’m sure that the speed boys will really enjoy this fast, accurate, great feeling cam bow. We tested the bow with a senes of different weights of arrows, from light carbon to the heavier aluminum, all

matched to the bow, and found only a slight difference in the noise level from the light to the heavy arrow. The physical weight of the bow is approximately four pounds. The draw weight of the bow can be ordered 45-60, 55-70, or 65-80. It is available in draw lengths from 28-31 inches on the 40inch axle-to-axle bow, and 29-32 in the 42-inch axle-to-axle bow. The Silverado Pro 3D bow can be ordered with the machined Genesis E Wheel at 65 percent let-off or the Vapor with a 60 percent let-off. Both the Genesis Wheel and the Vapor cam come set with draw length modules for different draw length. In experimenting with the over draw and short arrow, we typically found that it might be great for weight reduction, but it has some negative effect to the arrow stability in flight. Shorter arrows do not recover as well from the effect of the archers paradox and do not give positive control over the broadhead as a regular length arrow. This is definitely a bow that should be shot at or near its maximum rated peak draw force in order to realize its greater potential.

NEW T-DOT SIGHT PIN The T-Dot Sight Pin which Saunders introduced four years ago has been improved with a smaller Aiming dot and stronger base. This increases the target viewing area because less is restricted by the pin. The pin also uses a new, more efficient plastic, which converts more ultraviolet light into visible light.

FEATHER FLEX INTRODUCES A NEW LINE OF DEER DECOYS

For FAST results, simply add TROPHY MIX to 4-5 gallons of hot water, give a quick stir, and apply to your carefully selected site. If time is not important, TROPHY MIX can be applied dry. Depending upon the moisture in your area, it may take TROPHY MIX a month or so to soak into the ground when applied dry. TROPHY MIX works best after it has thoroughly soaked into the soil. Once the deer in the area discover the TROPHY MIX site, the hunter can’t help but get excited at the results. The deer will lick, stomp, paw and urinate heavily all over the area. This usually results in a large circle of solid deer tracks completely void of all vegetation. In all but extremely sandy soils, one bag of TROPHY MIX applied every 3-4 months will keep a site active year-round. For more information contact Sugar Valley Products, Inc., P.O. Box 100, Mound City, Kansas 66056,(913)795-2391.

STALK-MASTER™ ARROW REST/HOLDER Bossier City, LA—FEATHER FLEX DECOYS, a division of Packaging Industries Group, Inc., has recently introduced an exciting new line of deer decoys. Available in whitetail, mule deer and elk calf likenesses, tliese highly realistic, full size decoys are made of crosslinked polyethylene foam and weigh only twelve ounces. Substituting high visibility orange in place of the white markings, these new decoys provide safety for the hunter, while at the same time attract and hold the attention of deer. “Safety is a primary concern in deer decoying,” states Dave Berkley, Operations Manager for Feather Flex. “Based on research carried out by the University of California relating to animal sight, deer perceive the color orange as white or light gray. To further prove this point, we have engaged in several ‘fair chase’ encounters, during which both decoys with natural white markings and decoys with safety' orange were used. Results showed that the decoys with the safety orange are equally as effective as the decoys with the natural white color.” Presented in the “bedded" position, these new decoys instill confidence in live game, as they appear relaxed rather than alert. Available in both sexes, the decoys are extremely realistic and bring out the emotional responses that override rational thought in males of all species. The buck decoy tends to appeal to the territorial dominance of the deer. Both have been found to be particularly effective during the rut. For more information on the Feather Flex Deer Decoys, call or write: Feather Flex Decoys, 1655 Swan Lake Road, Bossier City, LA 71111, (318) 746-8596.

TROPHY MIX Sugar Valley Products has introduced TROPHY MIX, a new product designed to attract deer to a specific site. Eight years of testing “in die field" have resulted in a natural, granulated attractant that deer find irresistible. TROPHY MIX is packaged in a brightly colored camouflage bag. Each bag contains 15 lbs. of product and comes cequipped ' ’ with • ■ a •handle ” -for easy carrying in the field.

HOYT USA’s NEW SPECTRA SENSATION

FOR BOW HUNTERS WHO ARE TIRED OF THEIR ARROW FALLING FROM ITS REST. Has your arrow ever fallen from its rest? It’s an annoying problem that could cost you a shot. The STALK-MASTER™ ARROW REST/HOLDER elminates the problem. Like a bullet in a gun barrel, your arrow is completely encircled by the STALK-MASTER™. The arrow can’t be dislodged even if bumped by a branch, brush, or tall grass. And you’ll never again have to use a finger to hold your arrow on the rest. The STALK-MASTER™ fits virtually any bow with a cushion plunger hole. Three teflon fingers, which are fully adjustable for arrow size and number of fletchings, hold the arrow in place. When you shoot, each finger indepenctly guides your arrow. This minimizes arrow distortion and compensates for poor release. The STALK-MASTER™ also allows you to make micro adjustments with a special thumb wheel/wingnut system. This precision tuning, combined with the forgiveness you get with a STALK-MASTER™, makes it the most accurate arrow rest you can buy. And, because it’s positioned further back than other arrow rests, the STALK-MASTER™ acts like a mini-overdraw, allowing you to shoot a shorter, faster

Hoyt USA’s New Spectra Sensation is the choice of todays young archers. Like their archery’ role models who depend on quality archery equipment, young archers also choose Hoyt USA equipment. Young archers like the trim, smallthroated “self grip” of the Hoyt USA Spectra Sensation. The positive, small-grip means less shooting torque and more accuracy with a featherweight feel. The Hoyt USA Spectra Sensation’s special, solid glass limbs are the very best economical limb in todays market. And, the Hoyt USA Spectra Sensation also offers durable metal wheels where other bow manufacturers are using plastic. Specially designed draw lengths of 20-28 inches at draw weights 15-45 pounds are available in die Hoyt USA Spectra Sensation. Available in either Brown or Gray camouflage for the young bowhunter and in Blue or White for young target archers. Visit your local authorized Hoyt USA dealer today and see for yourself what a solid value die Hoyt Spectra Sensation is. For more information contact: Kris Facer (801) 363-2290 ext. 3336.

MACH-6'

"In designing the '92 PSE Mach-6,1 wanted to conceive the most technologically advanced bow—by incorporating the most advanced components. With just one shot of the Mach-6 system, 1 knew I had succeeded— and I'm sure you'll agree.”

Impressive looks and impressive power—the PSE Synergos Mach-6 for 1992. Like a fine-tuned piece of machinery, the Mach-6 is comprised of precision-made elements, func tioning together to a maximum potential. Each Mach-6 component is itself distinctive in todays archery scene, and the sum total of these ingredients equals the most talked about new bow to be released in many years. The Mach-6 is built around the reflex design riser machined from a solid bar of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, with exclusive Mach Series limb

pockets pivoting on a constant axis to eliminate limb shift. The new Synergy III eccentrics allow the use

SYNERGOS LIMB POCKETS

of three cable/string configurations;

the standard Synthetic Harness/ String System, traditional pigtail cable and string*, and no tear drop metal cable and string system*. Each Mach-6 comes with a full length M-l overdraw with both vane-up or vane-down style launcher.

Schedule of Recommended Minimum Arrow Weights Released The minimum recommended arrow weight chart everyone has been waiting for since AMO announced new safety standards is now available. In 1991, the Board of Directors of the Archery Manufacturers Organization (AMO) unanimously approved a 6 grain minimum arrow weight per pound of peak or maximum draw force. AMO took the action in response to growing safety and product liability concerns regarding the over stressing of archery equipment by archers seeking higher arrow speeds. The 6 grain guideline is indexed at 60 pounds draw weight and 30 inches AMO draw length. Indexing provides for variation in the minimum arrow weight with change in draw weight and/or change in draw length. Higher draw weight and/or longer draw length requires an increase of the minimum arrow weight. Conversely, lower draw weight and/or shorter draw length allows for reduction in the minimum arrow weight. The chart shows die maximum or peak bow weights in pounds along with various draw lengths and the corresponding minimum recommended arrow weights.
