Chance Beaubouefused a Longhorn
release to take top honors at the 2003 NFAA
“The control I feel when I'm shooting with a Longhorn is like nothing I’ve experienced before with any other back tension release - it helps me put the arrow right where I want it. Scott's new Longhorn release is a natural fit for me." Eric Griggs Littleton, MA Scott Pro Staff
The Longhorn Back Tension release consistently provides a smooth, controlled, precise shot. Ergonomic grips balance and disperse pressure evenly across the fingers, while the half-moon trigger design utilizes a “precision click” system to deliver the superior control serious archers demand. To meet any shooting style and allow for optimum adaptability, each two-, three-, or four-finger model comes standard with small, medium and large thumb posts. The Longhorn is a true breakthrough in target release performance.

Editorial Report by Arlyne Rhode
We would like to thank all of the military personnel for their service to freedom of the world. God bless you and may you all come home soon. We received the following article from a special young man, Frank Addington, who has made his sport a vehicle to help our young people say “No” to drugs and “Yes” to the great sport of archery. Lori Wolfe/The Herald-Dispatch Expert archer Frank Addington of Putnam County, demonstrates his bowshooting abilities for the West Virginia Sheriff's Youth Leadership Academy at Marshall University. Addington’s archer skills range from hitting a bullseye in mid air, to splitting an aspirin.
Expert archer targets drug abuse Frank Addington delivers message, while displaying skills at Marshall By Rick McCann - The Herald-Dispatch
until you achieve the goal,” Addington said. “I didn’t give up the first time I missed. 1 didn’t give up the second time 1 missed. We’re teaching the kids setting goals and working hard.” Addington started in archery at age 4 and estimated he has won 20 state titles. He is the owner of Addington’s Bowhunter Shop on Bill’s Creek Road in Winfield. As a youngster he traveled to archery shows with a family friend. Rev. Stacy Grosscup of Morgantown. Grosscup is also an accomplished archer who once hit seven aspirin in a row, Addington said. Addington picked up where Grosscup, now 72, left off and puts on exhibitions at outdoors shows, fairs and other events around the country. “My favorite shows are like this one where you feel like you’re making a difference,” he said. He spoke Thursday about a drug-free program called “Shut It Down” that stresses the importance of youngsters joining forces to “stay away from the garbage.” Addington said he had peer pressure, too. “And I’m very proud to say I’m drug free.” he said.
HUNTINGTON — Frank Addington shoots arrows, not drugs, and is proud of it. Addington, a 35-year-old archery expert from Winfield, demonstrated his skill with a bow and arrow while talking about the perils of using drugs Thursday afternoon for high school students attending the West Virginia Sheriff s Youth Leadership Academy at Marshall University. “Drugs are peer-pressure related,” Addington said between shots at various targets. “You make it uncool to do drugs and people are going to stay away from them. Drugs are a one-way street that goes nowhere.” The archery demonstration was conducted on the field behind Memorial Student Center. Addington set up about 10 yards from a net and shot at various targets tossed into the air by his assistant, Jake Chapman. Shooting behind-the-back instead of the conventional style, Addington started by slinging arrows at balloons. The wind made it tricky, but he popped more than he missed. He then switched to much smaller airborne targets — aspirin tablets. His third shot sent aspirin powder flying. “If you do drugs, you’ll never be able to do something like that,” said Brandon Estep, a 16-year-old academy cadet from McDowell County. “Drugs can mess you up.” Addington switched targets again, firing arrows at smaller, baby aspirin tablets tossed by Chapman. It took about 20 attempts, but he finally hit the mark. “The main thrust of my program is set a goal and don’t quit 102

Don and Alma’s trip to the ATA Show As told to us by Alma.
remember I was hanging upside down in the seat belt then a quick hard flip and we were over on the wheels. The motor was still running merrily along so I reached for the keys and turned it off. Don asked if I was okay and I said, “Yes.” I looked at him and he had a 2 inch spot on his head. It looked like a rug bum and his hand was bleeding in 2 Alma’sAngel with bow and arrows spots. He figured he had bit it. We had been heading he was just going back home. We weren’t hurt and the car was still towards Reno and were now in the meridian but running. One of the men said it was going were now turned toward to be a little windy with three windows out. When we rolled over we came down so the Bodertown overpass.

We harder than anytime in his also had dirt and sage brush in the back life. We opened our doors tire of that side. The second fellow called and stepped out of the van a tow truck for us. The ambulance arrived just as a young man came and immediately brought out the stretcher. running from his pickup We said, “No, we weren’t hurt.” They to see if he could help.

Don and I started for Las Vegas and the ATA Show in our 1991 Chrysler Town and Country Van with 334.000 miles on it. We were going to spend our 46th anniversary with Jan and Roland Haggard in Las Vegas and head on to the Archery Trade Association Show in Indianapolis, IN.

the broken out window holes? I asked the owner what we owed and he said to tip the guy that changed the tires S5.00 and sent us on our way. We headed for Lowes and Don went in and asked if they had someone to help us fill the holes. They had us drive inside the store and cut plywood to go in the windows while Don bought a drill so we could get one space open to get stuff out of it if we couldn’t open the back door. He bought screws which they helped him screw the plywood in the window holes. We climbed in and headed for Fallon. NV to spend the night. The car shimmed a little and the steering wheel was tilted at 30 degrees but steered well. We got up the next morning and headed for a wheel alignment but they were booked up. To keep the car legal on the highway we bought a mirror for the right side and installed it. We also bought two rolls of duct tape and taped the edges of the plywood and the gap in the top of the back door and left for Las Vegas, NV. We arrived at Jan and Roland’s home. They came running out of the door to see if we were really okay. They couldn’t believe the small amount of damage for a complete roll over. They had called our son and found out why we were late. I told them I had my guardian angel with me. They said, “She had to have been sitting on my shoulder.” We had supper went to bed. The next morning we went to Wiens Tire Service and they changed the bent rim and aligned the tire. Don worked on the back door at Roland’s house with his tools and got it to close and lock. That evening we took the Haggards out to celebrate our 46th anniversary and went to bed. We got up the next morning and headed to the ATC Show in Indy. After three days at the show we headed back home. The Chrysler Town and Country van with 338,000 miles on it, purred right along and brought us back home safely. We put 5,500 miles on it after we rolled it. Although we had oil with us, none was needed and it is still going strong! May-June 2003 - Visit our website at www.usarcher.com

Just Got Even Better.
More noise suppression. More accuracy. Higher scores. It’s all here, in the unique Doinker D2' We have taken the original Doinker’' technology - the same one that brought home countless trophies and two Olympic Gold Medals - and refined it, made it even better. The new ribs soak additional noise and vibration; the lighter weight increases response-time and 360-degree active dampening. Perfect for today’s technicallyadvanced bows. We've revamped the entire line, too. With Doinker D2' technology throughout, all-new stabilizers and new vivid colors.

On Target for Life with Jennie Richardson Looks like a bull’s-eye Archery program for middle schools off to a flying start By Gary Garth Special to The Courier-Journal across Frankfort at the Department of Education were likewise impressed. “I liked the idea because it had the potential to reduce the dropout rate and get more students engaged in an activity who weren’t being engaged,” said Gene Wilhoit, commissioner of education. The two agencies combined their considerable clout to form the National Archery in Schools Program. Education officials designed a curriculum, and the Fish and Game Department organized a program to certify teachers in archery. Archery coordinator After considerable discussion, it was decided that the program Jennie Richardson would be targeted for middle school students because, Wilhoit said, that’s the time when student interest in school and schoolrelated activities is most likely to wane. About 18 months ago Tom Bennett, commissioner of the The program was set up so that archery would fill two weeks Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, hatched of a school’s physical education calendar. Richardson resigned an idea to allow the state’s middle schools to offer archery as her position teaching math and P.E. at Whitley County Middle part of their physical education curricula. This wasn’t exactly School to become the education administrator/archery coordinator new. Kids have had archery in P.E. for years, for the Fish and Wildlife Department. but most of those programs were piecemeal, Sportsmen’s groups and the archery industry Kentucky has like softball orpingpong. An organized archery got behind the program with funding and program at Whitley County Middle School, run become the national equipment. The Anderson County Sportsmen by eighth-grade teacher and national champion leader of a program Club and the Bluegrass Sportsmen Club were archer Jennie Richardson, had gathered some among the first to recognize it as a way to teach attention among educators and caught the eye that didn’t exist two outdoor skills to kids who otherwise might of Fish and Wildlife officials. years ago. never have a chance to shoot a bow. United Bennett wanted something that would be Bowhunters of Kentucky, the National Wild part of a KERA-approved curriculum. He Turkey Federation, Ducks Unlimited and other envisioned classes that would be uniform and conservation groups joined the bandwagon. organized, safe and competitive, all while teaching and promoting “What the clubs recognize is that archery is very, very fun,” archery as a lifelong skill. He discussed the idea with his senior said Fish and Wildlife deputy commissioner Roy Grimes, a veteran staff, whose response was enthusiastic and unanimous. The folks archer and the man who has done much of the legwork behind the program. ‘’And that archery is also a lifelong skill that teaches teamwork and self-discipline and self-improvement.” The Fish and Wildlife Department hoped to recruit 15 schools for a pilot program. Twenty-two signed up, and more expressed interest. That was about a year ago. No one predicted what has happened since. “We thought we’d be at 50, maybe 60 schools by now,” Grimes said. “As of (March) we’ve certified teachers for more than 120 Kentucky schools. We expect to have around 90,000 kids taking archery in P.E. this year.” The program already has been expanded to a few elementary and high schools, including Collegiate and Moore in Jefferson County. Kentucky has become the national leader of a program that didn’t exist two years ago. Grimes and Bennett will travel to 110

Arizona this month to discuss the program and help with certification of teachers and administrators from 19 western states. Six states are planning to start pilot programs this year. “We’ve had 48 states contact us about the program,” Grimes said, "and we’ve had a lot of calls from teachers. When they hear about how it works and how it engages the student, they want to know about it.” Teachers like the program for practical reasons. It’s KERA compliant. All archery instructors receive the same 12 hour National Archery Association Level 1 training. Everyone uses the same equipment, including a Genesis universal-drawlength bow. Administrators like it for the same reasons, plus the fact that the equipment kit — which includes 11 bows, five dozen arrows, five Olympic-style foam targets, eight floor quivers, a safety net and storage box — is relatively inexpensive. (The gear has a retail value of $4,800. Kentucky schools get the kit for $1,775, and other participating states pay $2,400.) But the real success of the program is its ability to cut across many of the boundaries that make P.E. so dreadful for some students. It levels the playing field.
“The kids really love the program because they all have a chance to succeed,” Grimes said. “Not every kid can dunk a basketbail or hit a home run. They can succeed in this. They can do it. And the teachers recognize that instantly.” The program employs Olympic style archery. It is highly disciplined, and all students follow whistle commands. “The kids seem to like that,” Grimes said. “Teachers are reporting better attitudes and student behavior. And not just while they’re in archery, but that extends the rest of the day and before class.” Some critics might argue that Fish and Wildlife officials are using the program to groom the next generation of bowhunters. Bennett and Grimes say that’s not the goal, but it would be an acceptable by-product. They are grooming a generation of archers. “Whether a child becomes a hunter is a personal choice,” Bennett said, "but archery is a lifelong skill even if you never hunt. “As sportsmen we just wanted to share some of the pure enjoyment of what we do. And we think this is a successful program.” Ninety thousand kids think so, too.

Coach’s Corner THE IMPORTANCE OF A SUBCONSCIOUS RELEASE by Bernie Pellerite ©2003
Author’s Bio: Bernie Pellerite is a professional level IV Master Coach who has been a pro staff shooter, pro shop owner and seminar speaker. He has 10 animals in the top 10 of the S.C.I. Bowhunting World Record Book. He’s a leading technical writer and archery analyst who is published in many countries as well as several U.S. archery magazines and recently published his new book. “Idiot Proof Archery” (see ad on page 285.) He is president of Robinhood Video Productions, which presently has 37 titles marketed all over the world. He is also the inventor of the “Bemie’s Can’t Punch™ release which eliminates punching and target panic. He also manufacturers “Bernie’s PanicMaster and Bow Simulator" and offers a series of 9 videos called the Shooter's School Master Series. He is in the process of introducing 2 new back tension releases and an air bow in 2002. As a professional coach, he created the world-famous NFAA Shooter’s School and also offers the NFAA Advanced Certified Instructor program as an option. Bernie and his wife, Jan, will be conducting these exciting shooter's schools, which are also available on six video tapes. For more information, call Bernie or Jan at Robinhood Videos (614)933-0011, fax (614)933-0010 or website www.robinhoodvideos.com.
Editor’s note: The following is an excerpt from Bernie’s book, “Idiot Proof Archery” (see page 127) Many people spend years and years trying to figure out how to squeeze the trigger of their release, instead of jerking or punching it. Squeezing the trigger (for 99% of us) is not the answer either. This method is merely an attempt to “control punch” the trigger and keep the “motor” in the hand, instead of the back muscles. Therefore, the release will still be anticipated. The most common problem of 114
my students is that the majority of them “control punch” or just plain “hammer the trigger” (or pluck the string) or have another form of release malady, which can be directly related to consciously releasing the string. Although there are no overnight cures, there are some easier ways to develop a subconscious release that can 'l be anticipated. First, it helps if you understand the psychology behind it.
aim...aim...aim...
one...two...three...
The Problem with a Conscious Release When your conscious mind knows or can reasonably predict the instant of release, because of feedback from the “tactile sensory receptors” in the finger(s), then the rest of your body reacts in anticipation of the shot, as does your mind, which causes you to stop aiming .. . and start thinking about the impending release. The secret of avoiding this is to keep the mind immersed in aiming. . . which is the only thing that keeps the sight in the middle while “let-go” happens automatically. That sounds hard, and it is, if you try to learn this technique by continuing to practice on a target.
Building a Subconscious Release As long as there is a target on the bale and the eyes are open, the eyes will focus on what they see .. . which is the target. And, as long as you are looking at, and therefore thinking about, a target, you cannot practice, leant, or absorb any other change you want to make, including a subconscious release. Remove the target. Stand about three feet from an empty bale, which is at shoulder height. By the way, if you have more than one problem in your form or release method to work on, practice only one at a time. Once it becomes subconscious, then work on another problem you have. (If you had to eat an elephant, how would you do it? All at once, or one bite at a time?) A subconscious release is like having two people shoot the bow. The guy in front (the conscious) does nothing but aim and point the bow at the target, and never turns around to check on the other guy. The guy 1982 - 21th Anniversary - 2002
A subconscious release is like having two people shoot the bow. The guy in front (the conscious) does nothing but aim and point the bow at the target, and never turns around to check on the other buy. The guy in the back (the subconscious) doesn’t care about anything that’s happening up front.
in the back (the subconscious) doesn’t care about anything that’s happening up front. He’s just gonna pull and pull and finally ... let go in four seconds. Therefore, if the guy in front really trusts the guy in back to do his job . . . what do you think the guy in the front will be doing for the next four seconds?? . . . Aiming his butt off! The correct release technique for you will vary some, depending on which type of release you choose, but all of them have the same thing in common. The conscious mind directs the draw side back muscles to start to contract (then trusts them to continue) . . . and then the conscious mind immediately starts aiming! As the contraction increases it slowly moves the elbow back, forcing more pressure on the trigger (or for finger shooters, stretching out the fingers on the string, causing them to start losing their hold). This should cause release in about four seconds with enough stored tension to reach your conclusion. The only thoughts allowed are of focusing harder and harder on the exact middle of the target! If your conscious mind leaves aiming (even for an instant) and goes to THE U.S. and INTERNATIONAL ARCHER
check on “the guy in back,” you should let down and start over. This technique must be practiced daily on an empty bale or bow simulator, by drawing to anchor, centering the pin or scope in the peep sight (pre-load the trigger on thumb or index finger releases) and then close your eyes. Contract your back muscles (on the draw side) so you can internalize what that feels like without being aware of anything else, except that feeling .. . which builds muscle memory. It is important to practice this first, to familiarize yourself with, and later ingrain things like . . . how much pressure you can put on the trigger without setting it off, or how much elbow rotation or elbow drive (not wrist rotation) and back tension it takes to accomplish a slow, steady, dependable technique that will activate the release (or pull your fingers off the string), in approximately four seconds. Some push/ pull shooters also push with the bow arm side at the same time that they are rotating or pulling with their string arm elbow. This push/pull might make it easier for some people to get the release to go off (if they can keep both the push and pull even). Whether you choose the hold/pull (preferred) or the push/pull method, this should be done 50 to 100 times a day (in 30 to 50 arrow sessions), over a period of three to four weeks . . . until it becomes totally automatic. NOTE: At first (for three or four days) close your eyes half the time, then when you are sure of the "feeling" you are Hying to absorb, keep your eyes open all the time. But, if you can’t resist picking a hole or something on the bale to aim at . . . take the sight off! You may want to use the PanicMaster and Bow Simulator, if you can't handle the boredom of the bale . . . most people can’t. Nearly all shooters think because they did it right five times in a row . . . that they’ve got it! So, they can’t wait to put up a target to see if this works! It won’t! I’ll guarantee you . . . you don’t have it yet . . . you just, “bumped into it” five times in a row. When you “bump into it” five hundred times in a row, perfectly . . . then you’ve got it! For most, it takes 2,000 to 3,000 shots for back tension to become automatic, and a minimum of21 days! These methods are illustrated in more detail in Volumes 2 and 3 of the NFAA Shooter’s School Videos and in the video 44 Form Flaws of the Shooter’s School Master Series. If you don’t ingrain the release to the subconscious level, most personalities will eventually experience more serious consequences. S H H H! Don’t say it out loud! You might catch it!

HOW BOWSCALES ARE MIS-USED DON’T MAKE YOUR DECISIONS HARDER THAN NECESSARY BY USING INACCURATE INFORMATION. By Bob Ragsdale
Bob Ragsdale The bow factory Customer Service Rep takes a complaint call,
“My let-off is supposed to be 65% and it’s 73%, I’ve got a defective bow and I want my money back!” Later in the day the Rep takes a call from another confused and irritated consumer claiming, “My let-off is supposed to be 65% and it is only 62%, I’ve got a defective bow and I want my money back!” Strangely enough, both callers had the exact same model (see chart later in the article) in every detail. So what’s the story? It’s simple enough, someone either doesn’t know how to operate a bowscale properly or is expecting the bow to have an exact let-offwhen they should not. In fact if you took it to 4 different places and asked for a peak weight and a holding weight reading, odds are you would get 4 different sets of answers as seen on the chart below. HYSTERESIS. If you understand “hysteresis” and how to avoid seeing it on the bowscale I submit you are better off. HYSTERESIS is the resulting lower readings that occur while letting a bow down due to the drag loss of the still very tight cabling causing the eccentric bushings to be pressed hard against the axles and the cabling itself dragging through cable guards and rubbing each other when they touch. A condition that does not occur during the shot, it is not indicative of what the arrow ever sees. During the bow recovery cycle the axles are shoving against the eccentric bushings so the eccentrics and cabling are essentially free-floating while the arrow is still attached to the bowstring as you may have seen in slow motion videos. Only when a bow is let down slowly from full draw is hysteresis injected so it is not a factor in shooting. USING A BOWSCALE. Essentially, everyone needs to know their peak weight but nothing else. Later, after the shaft has been selected and all has been adjusted to shoot well it can be set back to the same peak weight after a repair. Or, better yet, if the arrow speed was recorded your peak weight can be tweaked back to set the identical arrow velocity which is more accurate and the same sight settings can still be useful. In classes I’ve held I proclaim that, “If it takes you more than 5 seconds on the scales you will probably recite incorrect readings. ” I also suggest that another good idea is to “avoid taking
readings on holding tveights or even discussing percentage of let-off.” That is, why stir up trouble or confusion by quoting figures on something that cannot be altered and is widely misunderstood? To take accurate readings you must put the bow on the scales and draw steadily without losing any tension whatsoever! The highest reading seen as it passes the highest reading is all that is needed unless a holding weight was specifically requested.
AVOID TAKING BOTH PEAK WEIGHT AND HOLDING READINGS ON THE SAME CYCLE. If your customer insists on both a peak weight and a holding weight reading for some reason, continue past the peak weight and note the reading as it passes the lowest point and begins to climb again, all in onefast motion. If you paused anyplace during your readings they may not be accurate because of the hystereses loss that was inadvertently injected. Remember, any time you pause during a bow scale measurement you are subject to inject some amount of a lower hysteresis friction reading. The reduced hystereses readings serve no useful purpose and hysteresis readings are not to be used on either arrow selection charts or in the calculation of let-ojfpercentages. . CAUTION, These lower readings may even contribute to choosing underspined shafts.
CALCULATING THE LET-OFF PERCENTAGE. Subtracting the actual holding weight from the actual peak weight gives you the weight reduction, or the amount of your peak weight that “disappears” when at full draw. Dividing this reduction figure by the full peak weight figure denotes the percentage of the peak weight that you no longer have to hold at ftill draw when aiming. The following chart shows that same bow can be calculated to 4 different let-off readings, 3 of which are incorrect. The letoff percentage figures can be distorted by using either a false holding weight, a false peak weight or both. Understand that the final let-off percentage on any given bow is circumstantial to the remainder of the bow design and also varies with different peak weights. No manufacturer could survive trying to design and use specific let-off eccentrics for every model and peak weight, it would take hundreds of different designs. Those designated as “65%” or “80%” or other advertised claims are intended to only be ballpark numbers and should never be expected to be totally

PSYCHOLOGICAL SKILLS 2 (practice techniques) You must plan and prepare to attend a major tournament. Most of us think about practicing and improve our shooting skills to do our best. Basics: fine tune your equipment and change anything necessary; bowstring, cables, arrow rest, fletching, etc., etc. You must have confidence in your equipment. Any equipment changes should be completed at least five weeks before your competition. Your tuning adjustments affect your arrow flight and grouping ability. Most archers tune until they get the results they went. That is we tune until we have good arrow flight and they group well, so we stop. To me you must continue tuning adjustments past this point, until it is de-tuned. Now you have the limits of your equipment performance, both sides. Now bring your tuning adjustments back to the middle of your equipment tuning, for the best tune possible. The shooter is the one to fine-
tune their equipment. If something goes wrong, you cannot just blame it on someone else. You were not prepared and it will not happen next time, continuous learning. And there will be a next time, it your serious about improving. You also learn from others at this type of tournament. When you practice for a tournament, you know the round and rules. To refine your aiming, execution and grouping; practice shooting a smaller target. If you check your group size, measure the circumference of all arrows. But not more often than once a week. Always practice shooting one more arrow than regulation. This will reinforce your sub-conscious that you can control the regulation number of arrows under tournament conditions. Practice shooting farther than regulation, say 5 or 10 yards for indoor. When you shoot regulation distance it will seem less demanding. When you practice at your home range always shoot different lanes. Do not get into a routine that develops dependency of comfort. You must develop a varied routine so as to develop self-confidence, not just familiar circumstance. To me the only time score really counts is in competition. 1 never keep score during practice. Control, consistency, execution, timing and a good group at the target, are
This is to help you formulate a procedure to shooting a bow and arrow. It is necessary to coordinate mental control and equipment performance. Consistency is the name of the game; doing the same thing in the same sequences every shot. We wish to help you learn what matched equipment is. The best archer in the world can not shoot mismatched equipment. We are not looking to give you an excuse but the knowledge of arrow spine, bow weight, draw length , anchor and followthrough.

effort and results. You want the arrow to hit where the sight is at release, which is all you can ask. The arrow will hit where you shoot it, not were you aim it. You can practice at 10 yds. or less, with a new blank piece of cardboard. I section it in my mind, say 8 or 10" squares. Shoot one arrow into each section, now concentrate on shooting a good shot and aim at your arrow hole in each section. Everything suggested takes time and a constant effort, you never stop learning. You go back to regulation distance and target two weeks before your competition. You use practice to improve; tournaments and scoring should be fun.

THE U.S. and INTERNATIONAL ARCHER
We wish for you to learn basic shooting technique. This will give you a bases to build on and something to fall back on. There is a definite method to shooting a bow & arrow: stance, bow and arrow placement, draw and anchor, hold tension and aim plus release and followthrough. Shooting style is an individual’s interpretation and application of basic shooting technique. Basic shooting from is the same for target shooters and bowhunters alike. There are many break downs of an explanation of each identified step of basic shooting, this is one. First a right handed archer holds the bow in their left hand and draws the bowstring back with their right hand. The arrow is placed on the arrow rest on the left hand side of the bow and located at a marked location on the bowstring, nocking point. This is not to cover equipment tuning, just shoot one good arrow. Most beginner shooters try to tune their equipment before they have consistent shooting form. This is to help you create a sequence to shooting archery. STANCE : A basic “T” formation to your stance is best. An archer should stand perpendicular or side ways to their target with the bowarm extended towards the target. The stance should be comfortable and slightly open with the feet spaced at shoulder width, body weight should be distributed evenly on both feet. Stand up straight and pull the bow back to you; you can not help the shot, you must control the shot. The head as well as the body must be balanced through the shot.
BOW & ARROW PLACEMENT: Make sure the arrow nock is placed at the exact location on the bowstring every time, a nocking point. The nock should be snug on the bowstring but not to tight. If you are using a three fletched arrow, the odd colored fletch should be pointed away from the bow. The bow handle fits between the index finger and thumb. The tips of the fingers should touch the back of the bow, not rap around it. The bow should settle against the muscular pad at the base of the thumb to allow pressure from the bow into the bowarm through the wrist into the forward shoulder. Never hold the bow tight; place the bow the same every time and relax your fingers forming a loose ring around the bow handle. A bow sling is recommended. The bowarm must be fully extended towards the target, shoulders squire to the target an natural. Rotating your bowarm so that your elbow is to the outside will help in bowstring clearance plus locking the elbow in the same position for consistency. The bowarm must be straight and relaxed at full draw. Do not move the arm upon releasing of the bowstring, let it set there on target, do not try to force the aim, just keep aiming.
Are you ready for the moment of troth?
Perfect practice, anywhere-anytime, with your favorite hunting bow! No arrows, no target, no danger.
“My life’s ambition is to pursue trophy whitetails. I don’t mind missing a target now and then, but I sure wouldn’t want to miss a monster buck, or worse, cripple one. Considering how much is at stake, I could not even begin to imagine any serious bowbunter not owning a SAFEDRAW!’’ whiteuils.. .and counting!

DRAW & ANCHOR: drawing the bow back is pulling the bowstring back to store energy in the bow limbs to propel an arrow. For now place your three drawing fingers below the arrow nock on the bowstring. Fingers should be perpendicular to the bowstring at the first joint of the fingers. As you pull and build pressure let your drawing hand and wrist relax and straighten naturally, it will not slip. This will flatten your hand so you can slide it along your face to a comfortable anchor with your thumb under your chin. There should not be a cup in the knuckles of the drawing hand. An anchor is a point on your face you touch with the fingers holding the bowstring. Generally your index finger at the comer of your mouth. Your draw length and anchor must be exactly the same every time. This assures that the same energy is stored in the limbs for every shot, which makes aiming more consistent. Plus the bowstring, arrow and target alignment will determine where the arrow goes. In coming to full draw the elbow of the drawing arm should be slightly higher then the back shoulder and the forearm an extension of the arrow in line with the target. HOLD TENSION & AIM: in pulling a bow to full draw you never stop pulling, even when you reach your anchor and are no longer moving the bowstring back, hold extended tension. Muscle tension must be extended, not just held. This is so that alignment can be maintained after release of the bowstring. With the anchor at the comer of your mouth, this should place the arrow directly below your master eye. From this angle you should be able to point the arrow at the target as you would your

index finger. You will learn to judge distance properly in time. A sight is to be placed were you wish the arrow to hit. Never aim off target with a bow sight. A sight is adjusted in the direction the arrow hits off; arrow hits right, move the sight to the right; arrow hits low, move the sight down and so on.
RELEASE & FOLLOWTHROUGH: tension must be maintained when the release is made. The word release is a little misleading; the technique is more like stop holding the bowstring, relax the holding fingers and the pressure you feel on your fingers will release for you. Tension must be maintained and aiming must be maintained until the arrow hits it’s target; this is the followthrough. Your release hand must be kept by your face. The followthrough should be natural, the same every time. Everything should move on axis with the arrow in the same timing every shot. Any practice at something new will bring improvement. Now is when to learn to practice properly; think and control. Practice is to experiment, learn more comfortable positions, leant to relax and control; you can not force a shot consistently. Shooting a tight group of anows is considered consistent shooting; how confident are you of you shooting? Read and shoot as much as you can, leant what archery' has to offer and participate in the sport.
Thank you for your interest; do not hesitate to ask questions, that are how we learn. Tell a friend about your enjoyment with archery and we can have more people learning about our sport.

The Shot Doctor Don’t Shoot a Bad Shot by Terry Wunderle
Shot Doctor Terry Wunderle See the Shot Doctor ad on page 103.
How many times have you said, “I shouldn’t have shot that arrow?” Is your answer frequently, occasionally, seldom, or never? Your answer to the question probably reflects the level at which you shoot. Archery is a sport of concentration and discipline. The lack of either of these two mental processes hinders an archer from having a consistent performance. To understand a bad shot, we need to look at what causes it. The main reason is bad form. It seldom comes from the pin not being on or near the desired mark. What causes bad form ? It is a breakdown or deviation from the form you normally shoot in practice. This breakdown in form is frequently caused by a different thinking process than normally used in practice to execute the shot. The concentration and focus become misdirected toward score, winning, or some other distraction. When

To compensate for the pin movement, more muscles are tightened in an attempt to reduce pin movement. This causes several seconds to be added to the normal shot sequence and by this time, the shot process breaks down. The shot should be let down. This isn’t the only thing that causes a bad shot, but it is by far the most common cause. Many things can distract and breakdown the concentration of an archer. Maybe it is the pressure of a big tournament, something a friend or opponent said to you, or perhaps you just daydreamed about something other than shot execution. You need to train your mind to think the same thoughts in practice as you do in a tournament. When you do that, you should shoot the same shot. Occasionally, you will draw on a target and your mind will say, “Something is wrong.” You don’t have a clue what is wrong, so you go ahead and shoot. Too often you find out that your mind was correct. Something was wrong. Listen to your mind. You wouldn’t have thought something was wrong if it was not. Your 1982 - 21th Anniversary - 2002
deviating from your normal shot set-up in some way triggered the thought. There are numerous things that can cause a breakdown in concentration. The more you work at raising your level of concentration, the more consistent you will be in your performance. In order not to shoot a bad shot, first you have to recognize that it is going to be a bad shot. Then comes the discipline. Don’t shoot it! Let it down and start over. When you shoot a shot that you think is going to be of poor quality, you will probably only hit the mark less than 50% of the time. Those are poor odds. Discipline is learned during practice. If you shoot bad shots during practice, chances are you will shoot them in a tournament. Implement the discipline in practice and then it will become more automatic in tournaments. When you read the title “Don’t Shoot a Bad Shot,” you probably thought, “Why would anyone shoot a bad shot?” After looking at the situation objectively, maybe you do shoot an occasional bad shot. Eliminate those from tournaments and your performance will rise. If you do not shoot bad shots, I would classify you a discipline, high-level archer. THE U.S. and INTERNATIONAL ARCHER

From the Senior Corner By Joe Bauernfeind Hi, and welcome to the Senior Comer once again. As you may have noticed, things got a little out of order in the last column, due to the lead in 1 used on how the Pot O’ Gold idea came about. I went from the NAFAC shoot in sunny and warm Homestead, FL. in November to the ASA Pro/Am in rainy and cold Gainesville, FL. in February and completely bypassed the ATA show which was once again held at the North Pole, which sometimes goes by the alias of Indianapolis, IN., in January. Don't get me wrong, I said in the last column that I liked winter, and 1 do, but Indianapolis in January is maybe going a bit too far. After the moderate clime of last year's AMO show (note the name change?? (I don’t know why either) in Nashville, TN., it was back to frozen Mid-America, with temperatures hovering close to zero and snow crunching under foot. 1 understand the need to site the show within driving distance of the main concentration of archery dealers but I still like to dream about Orlando or San Diego or some other warm get away from the snow and ice of Indiana. I guess when you’re stuck in a booth all day, what’s going on outside doesn’t make much difference anyway. This year was especially tough, since my usual partner in crime at these shows, Mike LePera, had to cancel at the last minute. A week before the show Mike had some chest pain, went to the doctor and three days later was in the hospital for a quad by-pass. In this day and age it’s a pretty common occurrence but 1 felt Mike was in for a tough time with a lot of pain and a long recovery. Surprisingly, when I got to talk to him, he said it wasn't as bad as he had imagined it would be either. He told me that even in intensive care he really didn’t suffer any great amount of pain. 1 had another friend tell me the same thing awhile back and I thought he was just blowing smoke, but 1 guess if you get the right hospital and team of doctors, they get you through it without a lot of suffering. That's a good thought for the rest of us seniors who might face the same thing in the future but let’s hope that none of us have to see for ourselves. Back in the booth at ATA/AMO, things were pretty hectic. The traffic at this show is pretty heavy and constant and when you're alone, getting a break, even for life’s most necessary, things

is hard to do. Who knows who might come by while you’re gone. The big break you’ve been waiting for may be standing by your empty booth while you’re in the can, or stuffing down a $4 hot dog. Luckily, the third member of our original booth contingent showed up on Saturday and helped me hold down the fort. If you’ve been a faithful reader or the Senior Comer, you'll recognize his name, I’m sure. None other than Harry “Mutt” Miller, my arch enemy from the Atlantic City Classic was there to bail me out. In reality, he became the booth master, since I’m still in the dog house sucking on a bone after the beating he gave me in last year’s shoot. He was gracious enough to make it look like I was in charge and for that I’m going to go easy on him at this year’s Classic. Yeah, right. Arlyne did snap our picture together at the booth and hopefully she’ll be able to get it in the magazine so you’ll all be able to see what the Mutt looks like. Don’t be fooled by the grey hair and distinguished looks though, down deep he’s still a barker and I’m aiming to put him back on the leash at the end of April. Stand by in the next issue for the results of this major dog fight.
Draw from our 200 years of experience in archery.

THE U.S. and INTERNATIONAL ARCHER
After AMO/ATA, came the Gainesville freeze-out, which I wrote about in the last issue, the World Archery Festival in Vegas and the ASA Pro/Am in Kinder, LA and that puts me back on track. The Vegas shoot keeps getting bigger and better. The entry of the NFAA, with Bruce Cull at the helm, and the major prize money and vehicular awards now up for grabs at this first leg of the Annual 3-Star Tour, have brought the world’s archery family together in a big way. I won’t go into all of the results but this year the NFAA has done a great job in posting them on their web site. That was one of the major complaints which they’ve corrected with a bang. Good job guys. As usual the main event came down to a shoot-off and also as usual it was decided on super-X’s, with new-comer Chance Beaubouef taking the top spot. As a happy foot note to the event, Mike was back at the old stand only a month after his surgery. They make those Italians out of tough stuff. Welcome back pal. The ASA Pro/Am in Kinder, LA is held at the Grand Casino Coushatta. Kinder is about as far away from Vegas as you can get. The casino is the only thing in town that holds more than a hundred people, but it is a nice place to visit after the crowds and flashing neon world of the Vegas strip. They’ve given the ASA a great facility as far as shooting ranges and show space for the vendors and everyone looks forward to going there each year. The gambling is much less intimidating in a smaller casino but the bucks can slip through your hands just as easily. If you do manage to hit a big jackpot on the slots, the State of Louisiana wants a 28% cut right off the top, before you even talk to Uncle Sam about it. 1 don’t have to worry about it though. At the level 1 play that jackpot just isn’t going to happen. The second leg of the 3-Star Tour was another gem, again winding up in a shootoff for the top Pro spot and again won by Chance Beaubouef. Shades of Dave Cousins’ victories a few years back. When you’re hot, you’re hot. There was a really great turnout of over 1100 shooters for this tournament, which next year will be held in Louisville, KY, continuing the explosive growth of indoor archery. Now if we could come up with a game to unify the various outdoor archery factions, archery’s rebirth would be complete. There are still plenty of elder statesmen left in the game who hopefully will join with the new blood to unify all archers under one roof, doing what all archers do, shoot arrows. Speaking of elder statesmen, Ron Woods, who was officiating for the Cubs passed a story on to me which deserves mention. One of the

Cubs had a melt down under the tournament pressure and decided to quit. Ronnie related the tale to Frank Pearson, who was shooting at the same time and Frank immediately went to console the young man and offer some words of encouragement at the expense of breaking his own concentration. That’s what archery should be about. The seniors guiding the young archers into a sport which they can enjoy for a lifetime I hope you have a great time in Atlantic City and maybe win a car or a quad, but even if you don’t, enjoy the fun of shooting a bow with some of the best people in the world.

Trust Yourself By Roger W. Breternitz Ch.T. Roger W. Breternitz Ch.T.
Did you ever spend an immense amount of time planning an event, or master-minding an operation, thinking of every detail, every possible scenario, then coming up the what you thought was the ironclad solution. You make your decision, planning to execute it down to the last dotting of the I's, and crossing of the T’s. Then at the last minute someone says to you something like, “Now you actually, really, think this is going to work”? Or, “Have you given this an objective look before giving the GO signal? You become worried and change something and it’s just THAT very thing you changed that makes the plan go hey-wire! It is just that very thing in high level competition that makes winners or 2nd place competitors (there are no losers, just by the fact you’re competing makes you more of a winner that those who do not compete). TRUST is the main contributing factor in this case, trust in yourself, trust in your abilities, and trust in your own knowledge of your equipment and talents. Y ou’ve been shooting long enough to know what to do. how to breath, how to rest, how to clear your mind, and a whole list of “How to’s” Now it’s time to trust all of your automatic pre-programmed responses, let go, and accept what happens. While at the Las Vegas festival I was talking to a friend in between ends. He related to me how his shooting partner told him that his timing was off, or different that usual, or that he was taking more time that usual. So...he tried to correct what he thought was this inconstancy, in so doing he mis-fired a shot dumping it way out. You have given your body instructions to perform in a certain way. Your body being the perfect computer-like machine that it is, will try it's best to come up with the right and most correct end result. Maybe that means it HAS to make subtle changes to keep coming up with the SAME answer, meaning shooting through the SAME hole in the X every time. The changes may be so subtle that you don’t even notice them...UNTIL someone else points it out...then...you start THINKING. You try to consciously correct what you think is wrong or inconstant Which so many shooters realize is detrimental only after that last end.
Trust is once again the focus here, and when you trust your mind and body to do the pre-programmed job it was meant to do you have HARMONY. This is harmony in mind and body, and there is a flow. A flow that makes everything effortless, and perfect...why, you may as well just walk down there and poke the shafts in the X with your hand, because that’s right where they’re going to go when you have this harmony of mind and body. Here's an experiment to try. When you are in this zone of total oneness with yourself, and you’re oozing the harmony we talked about, say the words, “I AM PERFECT” before each arrow. Then just relax and shoot the X. No conscious thought, no inner voice telling you what to do, just the absence of all thinking, and the presence of just doing. Perfect concentration or the lack of all conscious thought is the micro-thin “Rice paper” your mind walks on. When you begin to allow conscious thoughts (what’s my score, how am I doing, what's HE doing, is my equipment shifting etc.) to enter in to your mind, even between ends, it begins to block this flow bringing Disharmony. Do yourself a favor, when you’re in the Flow, stay away from people, don’t vocalize, you’re on a tightrope of balanced harmony. It’s very difficult to get into that zone of blocking out everything around you, all the distractions, the things that can block your Flow. Once you get it, KEEP IT. You can’t just turn it on and off like a light switch, and when you actually use your conscious mind to vocalize, or process incoming transmission from someone (which takes thinking) it’s OVER. you’re toast...now you’re on the same plane with everyone else. Now you are depending upon your plain old brute force, cave man thinking, and run-of-the-mill talent to get you 3rd place if that. There’s no way you can stay up with the person who’s over in the corner with that almost out-of-body experience concentration, Zombie, twilight look about them. They are in what psychologists call “State”, a deep level of separation from the immediate sight and sounds around you, like you’re 100 feet tall and it’s all happening far below you. This is what happens when you have complete TRUST in yourself, your equipment, and your pre-programmed abilities. When you’re in the Flow, enjoy it, feel it, embrace it, realize, “I am perfect”, and it will come again, the best of luck and good shooting, Roger

U.S. Paralympics and The Hartford Forge Founding Partnership Groundbreaking Alliance Shares Focus on Abilities, Commitment to the Paralympic Movement COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. - U.S. Paralympics today announced its premier founding partner: The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE: HIG), a leading disability insurer. The Hartford is the first company to sign a seven-figure, multi-year agreement exclusively with U.S. Paralympics, resulting in the founding partnership and the most significant corporate commitment to the Paralympic movement in U.S. history. “This is a historic day for the U.S. Paralympics and athletes with physical disabilities,” said Charlie Huebner, chief executive officer of U.S. Paralympics. “The Hartford’s contribution provides unheralded support for thousands of physically disabled athletes as they pursue their Paralympic dreams.” “The Hartford is extremely proud to be the founding partner of U.S. Paralympics,” said Liz Zlatkus, executive vice president ofThe Hartford’s Group Benefits Division. “Ten years ago, we changed the paradigm of disability insurance by focusing on an individual’s abilities instead of limitations. It was a groundbreaking concept at the time, and we are pleased to break new

The values and mission of U.S. Paralympics align perfectly with The Hartford’s long-term commitment to disabled sports and enhancing the lives of individuals with physical disabilities,” she said. The Hartford’s long history of support for the Paralympic community includes 10 years of sponsoring programs, organizations and world-class athletes with physical disabilities to showcase peoples’ abilities. “The support provided by U.S. Paralympics and The Hartford is exactly what athletes need to pursue our Paralympic dreams,” said Cheri Blauwet, winner of the wheelchair division at the New York and Los Angeles marathons and member ofThe Hartford wheelchair road race team. “This sponsorship provides me with quality coaching, competition opportunities, and the comfort of knowing that I can focus my energies on preparing for Athens in 2004.” Since the Salt Lake Paralympic Games, U.S. Paralympics has aggressively sought corporate sponsorships to help support its athletes in their preparations for the 2004 Games. The Hartford is the first major corporation to fund the Paralympics independent of any Olympic ties. The Paralympic Games are the Olympic equivalent for athletes with physical disabilities and take place two weeks following the Olympic Games, using the same host city and its venues. More than 4,000 athletes are expected to attend the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens, Greece, making it the second-largest sporting event in the world (second only to the Olympics). U.S. Paralympics is a division of the U.S. Olympic Committee and is dedicated to becoming the world leader in the Paralympic sports movement and promoting excellence in the lives of persons with physical disabilities.

Archers wanted for School Tour Every second or third year for the past 25 years, I have managed to set aside my busy schedule of arranging bowhunting trips and performing on night club stages, to travelling instead around the country', appearing in hundreds of schools bringing archery to the students in the form of an informative and entertaining school assemble program. This is a rewarding experience for me, just knowing that a lot of these kids in very small towns across rural America may never before have had a chance to see a live variety act or had the opportunity to leant about how much fun a person can have shooting a bow and arrow. It’s a labor of love, these assembly tours. They Previous associates school certainly don’t have the glamor that I have trained and of a Las Vegas casino booking sent on the road have or a three week gig on a cruise included, Don Brown ship, but the positive response and April Moon, Arlie from the kids to our assemble and Cathy Clift, Mike program, more than compensates and FayBinnev and for all those other superficial Kathy ‘ and Byron trappings. There are times, Korby. however, when I find myself tom between two loves, wishing I could be in two places at the same time. Once again I find myself confronted with this familiar dilemma. This fall, September 22nd to be exact, my assistant and 1 are scheduled to begin another six month school assemble road tour bringing us to schools in Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Illinois and Ohio. Simultaneously, a publicity tour has been arranged for me to promote my newly released video about the sport of archery, "The Arrow Master”. Unable to do both, 1 am now desperately looking for someone to take my place on my

school tour, preferably a couple that can travel together and are willing to spend a few months on the road driving from town to town, visiting the schools of rural /America. A motor home or pickup truck with camper would be an ideal mode of transportation as that would considerably reduce accommodation expenses. No experience in public speaking or exhibition type of shooting is necessary, though it would be helpfi.il. 1 will personally tutor and teach the person or persons applying and supply them with all the training, equipment, and props necessary to present the 45 minute assemble program. Previous associates that I have trained and sent on the road have included, Don Brown and April Moon, Arlie and Cathy Clift, Mike and Fay Binney and Kathy and Byron Korby. Their efforts were most rewarding and they were well received by all the students. The only necessary requirements are that the interested party must be a reasonably good shot with a bow, able to comfortable address an audience on stage over a microphone, and have a genuine desire to acquaint the students with our great sport of archery. The format of this highly successful and proven assemble program, that is so well received by students of all ages, can be learned within a single week, and I will spend additional training time if necessary. Starting salary is $1,500.00 per week, excluding road expenses.

NEW ARROW TRAP™REST KEEPS ARROWS IN THEIR PLACE.
ARIZONA E-Z FLETCH™DOES CARBON ARROWS YOUR WAY With the advent of the Carbon Arrow Shaft, it is apparent that fletching has become as important a function for the ‘doit-yourselfer’ as it has been for aluminum and wood shafts. For the avid archer, fletching carbon arrows is not only a lesson in saving money but also in pride. For the target archer and bowhunter, the fun and art of making arrows allows for each to make an arrow to exacting, personal specifications, make the arrows when needed and save money over buying store bought, pre-fletched arrows. With the new ARIZONA E-Z FLETCH for Carbon Shafts, all these benefits are accomplished, plus it is fun. For Randy Phillips. President of ARIZONA RIM COUNTRY, manufacturer of the popular ARIZONA E-Z FLETCH, it was more of a necessity. “I consider myself an all-around archer.” Says Randy, “I enjoy the competition of shooting X’s and love 3D but my main hobby is getting out and bowhunting. I also love to tinker. Not only because I have this need to know how things work, but because I am very particular when it comes to my equipment. I like my equipment set up precisely the way I want it because I know I’ll shoot my best. I want my arrows perfect and I want them when I need them so 1 do it my self. This is the reason for the ARIZONA E-Z FLETCH. I can fletch a dozen of my own arrows, wood, aluminum and now carbon, exactly the way 1 want them, in less than 30 minutes because it fletches three or four vanes or feathers at the same time. I don’t have to depend on someone else to do it, and I can save money while enjoying the process.” The ARIZONA E-Z FLETCH is a compact, lightweight unit that is easy to use, even in the field. The E-Z FLETCH PRO automatically adjusts to any size arrow shaft from 2013 to 2613. It comes in straight, straight offset, right or left helical and will also do any style of three or four fletch with nothing extra to buy. The ARIZONA E-Z FLETCH Carbon Arrow model will fletch the smallest carbon shaft up to a 2018 aluminum. This new, patented design ensures precision alignment and includes interchangeable arms. For those who want precision arrows, want to save money and enjoy doing it yourself, nothing beats the ARIZONA E-Z FLETCH. For more information please contact:

One of the biggest problems with still and treestand hunting is having your arrow jump, rattle, shake or fall off your Arrow Rest Launchers. And it always happens at the worst possible time. Now GOLDEN KEY has designed an Arrow Rest that solves the problem, the new ARROW TRAP. The ARROW TRAP is a top quality, adjustable hunting Rest that makes it almost impossible for your arrow to fall off the Launcher. The ARROW TRAP’S special design features both rear and side loading with a Keeper Frame that automatically centers and holds the arrow in the shooting channel for secure, peace of mind shooting. This Keeper Frame secures the arrow in the shooting channel, at the ready so when you draw down on that trophy buck you won’t have to worry about your arrow being in the proper shooting position. In addition, unlike other containment style Rests, the ARROW TRAP will not damage fletching, does not affect arrow speed, is whisper quiet during the draw and the shot and is unaffected by weather. The durable Frame Launcher is also spring loaded for easy tuning. Robert Troncoso, VP made the announcement: “Originality and innovation have been the comerstone at Golden Key and as we celebrate 35 years in business, we are all proud to offer our new line of exciting Arrow Rests for 2003. I know archers everywhere will love the simplicity, quality, ease of set up and accuracy the ARROW TRAP Rest provides.”

New Top Of The Line Savage Pendulum-Super Max! Huey Savage has named the latest version of the metal bodied Pendulum Max the Pendulum Super Max. It’s still noiseless, compact and durable, but now it’s super easy to set up and super quick to draw a bead with. Screws that lock down the horizontal and vertical settings have wingnut heads, so you don’t need an alien key if you’re sighting in or making adjustments due to changes in draw weight or arrow speed. Yet the wingnuts retain an alien socket, for when you want extra leverage.
height or distance, from almost under your stand out to about 30 yards. (Maximum distance varies with bow speed.) Like other fine pendulum sights from Savage, the Super Max doubles as a ground sight, without lockdowns. Each converts RH to LH and is covered under Patent 408,409. To extend your shooting range, add the Dually pin to provide twin aim points. Night Hawk I combines a fine .029 fiber optic with a hidden tritium power source that keeps it glowing, day and night, for years. The FiberGlo pin available for the Super Max has been improved for 2003. Now instead of having the UV-powered phosphorescent powder packed in the base of the pin, it’s been mixed and molded right in the tough polycarbonate that surrounds the fiber optic. The body of the sight has been thinned to provide a better view of the target, and the side facing the shooter is painted flat black. All you see when natural light fades is the gentle orange glow of the aim point. This pin self charges in seconds with sunlight or a flashlight, then shines for hours without the need for batteries, switches or wires. Choose the Pendulum Super Max with the type of pin your prefer and then protect your sight when you store or transport it with one of our Camo Sight Covers. Look for the Savage Pendulum sights and accessories at your local archery retailer, on line at www.savagearcherv.com or in the company’s 2003 catalog. For a copy, call (318)428-7733.
“Where Quality Meets Innovation” Savage Systems, 110 North Front Street, Oak Grove, LA 71263 wAvtv.savagearcherv.com The swing that holds your choice of Night Hawk I or FiberGlo sight pins is now molded in black so it’s easier to see past in low light conditions. And because that housing is round, rather than the oval swings the firm has been using, it helps your eye quickly center the glowing aim point in your peep sight. And setting up the Super Max is far easier than with other brands of pendulum sights. Sight the Super Max in at 20 yards on the ground, and you’re all set. From your treestand you can hold dead on, without compensating for

The NFAA Vegas event is a competition that brings the finest professional indoor archers together from around the world. Soft spoken 20-year-old Tennessee native and first time Vegas shooter. Chance Beaubouef, took the top honors in a very competitive Male Compound Unlimited Championship Division using his Hoyt UltraTec XT3000 Cam & 1/2 bow.

X count of 80, Beaubouef found himself in a shoot off with a record number eleven shooters. Incredibly enough, five of the eleven shooters all shot a perfect score of 900 using Hoyt’s new Cam & 1/2 Performance System. Beaubouef was finally crowned champion after five grueling rounds of a shoot off spectacular. After his final arrow hit the X. emotions unloaded. “Winning this tournament is huge! I can’t even begin to describe what I am feeling right now,” commented Beaubouef. “Cam & 1/2 is the best thing that Hoyt has ever come out with. It’s incredible! I never have to worry about timing, even if my string stretches a little bit it doesn’t affect the bow at all." 20year-old Beaubouef took home SI5,000 from Hoyt USA and SI0.000 from the tournament for his first place finish.

Iowa Pro-Am Archery Tournament and Trade Show January 11 and 12, 2003 many spectators who have never before viewed an archery event can come and watch, and then of course there is the booths that draw large crowds and seem to be very busy. We also have drawings for archery merchandise and bows again donated by sponsors. It makes for a very popular, fun experience.” Sponsors for the 2003 Iowa Pro Am are as follows:
Platinum Sponsor: Mathews Inc. Silver Sponsor: Bow Tech, Toxonics, Hoyt, Easton/TruFlite, Copper John, Delta Industries, Specialty Archery Products. Bows were donated by Mathews, Hoyt, Alpine and Martin Archery. Media Sponsors include: The U.S. & International Archer and the NFAA Archery Magazines. Young archer’s shooting line
2003 Iowa Pro Am sets new participation Record The 2003 Iowa Pro Am Archery Tournament and Trade Show held January 11 & 12 in Mason city, Iowa at the North Iowa Fairground experienced a new record number of participants with 356 archers from all over the country. Archers came from as far away as Idaho and North Carolina. They were competing for either a part of the S10,000 cash prizes or for the Pro-Am trophy awards. The Iowa Pro Am started out small about 60 archers for the first event and showed growth each year. The Iowa State Archery Association (ISAA) working with archery industry sponsors, the Mason City Convention and Visitor’s Bureau has guided this event into one of the must attend events indoor archery enthusiasts look forward to every year. The Iowa Pro-Am is a unique event in that it is not hosted by a national archery association or private group. The ISAA is very proud of the Pro Am. When asked why this archery shoot is so successful, John Carlson, President of the ISAA stated the following: “We never could have hosted an event with the size purse we have if it were not for the great support of the archery industry sponsors. We are so pleased and grateful the sponsors recognized what we are doing her in Iowa. That combined with the media exposure we are getting for competitive archery, showcasing our sport if you will, and format we have of shooting an NFAA 300 round the first day and adding an extra point for the X ring, plus shooting a Vegas round the second day, and again adding an extra point for the X ring seems to be very popular with the archers. Our date of being one of the first major indoor events in January, plus the team events in the evening that drew over 50 teams of money shooters combined with trophy shooters by random drawing is also very popular. We have bleachers so 140
