On Bow Vibration Why should I use a stabilizer? —At the instant your bowstring is released, the bow actually jumps forward, rapidly vibrating ar a frequency of about 170 Hz. Passive stabilizers are traditionally used to “weigh down” a bow, reducing the amount of vibration and jump (hat occurs after releasing your shot. Recently, Golden Eagle Archery introduced the Dissipator,™an active, pneumatic (air) stabilizer that provides a superior degree of vibration dampening, which improves accuracy and reduces noise without adding a lot of weight.

Choosing a bow

Iasi year was easy- A lhe Evolution was jfl so superior, AH bowhunlers and target shooters immediately made it=1. But now. two new bows compete for the lop spot. UltraEvolution: h's Evolution engineered to lhe max, with new HammerCam” for massive energy storage, quality wood grip and outside-hung synthetic cables for accuracy and fine tuning. Revolution: With one look you know this bow is far ahead of its lime. Arrow is at true center for balance, control and tuning ease, plus machined riser and 65% TracerCam. Yes, il’s a lough decision, but with Golden Eagle you can't go wrong. Shoot each of these new- bows today and see why nothing else can even compete.

Hoiv does the Dissipator'" work? —The Dissipator™ is a scientifi cally designed air-filled cylinder featuring a free-floating piston and compressed air inside. As the cylinder moves forward, the piston remains suspended in air. A vacuum is created in front of the piston with pressure behind it, resulting in the absorption of excess energy*. That excess energy* being i absorbed is the vibration of your bow. I

New NFAA Awards Programs Poster In December 1995, a new awards poster was sent to each Club and Pro Shop affiliated with the NFAA. Members often contact the directors or headquarters about the various awards available from the NFAA. The new poster depicts the various awards in full color. If your club hasn’t displayed the poster in a spot where all can view it, contact your officers or Pro Shop owner. Have you seen the beautiful championship patches you can get from NFAA? They range from a club champion to a national champion. How about the bowhunter emblems? There’s the Bowhunter, Expert, Master and Grand Master pins and patches. Do you have league programs for your young shooters? There’s a great set of incentive progressive patches for cubs and youth in addition to patches and bars for a Junior Bowhunter Program. Does your club have indoor and outdoor league programs? Why not get all your league information and progressive patches from 120 to 300 and a perfect patch from NFAA? See all these and more on the Awards Programs Poster. That’s just a sampling of what you’ll see on the New Awards Programs Poster. If your Club or Pro Shop can’t locate the poster shipped in December, have them request another from the NFAA Headquarters today, you don’t want to be left out. These are your programs — you are the NFAA! While you’re at it, have your secretary request some forms for the programs that you use. Need information on any of the awards? There are several sources: look in the NFAA constitution if you have one, check with your stale director (he/she is listed in the front position ofArchery magazine), check with fellow club members, ask Headquarters. If all else fails, check with your area Councilman or contact the NFAA Vice President via phone, regular mail or e-mail at wrueger@mail.wiscnet.net. <-

President’s Corner / The 1996 Annual Meeting is in the past and I believe it was one of the most productive we have had in several years. 1 say that because there were not many changes to the rules for our games. This means less confusion for you, the archer, and less changes in the rule book. As I told you in the last issue we as a body would adopt a set of goals for the NFAA to work for in the next five years. The first GOAL will be to increase membership. We will start immediately by doing a survey to determine the reasons for not maintaining NFAA membership. We will look into hiring a Public Relations person or firm to represent and publicize the NFAA through: Advertising and cooperative support agreements with other organizations. Increase the visibility of the NFAA (name change, videos, etc.) (i.e. Field Archery/Bowhunting) Establish an NFAA 3-D membership/ program geared to the 3-D archer. Redefine the NFAA Championship events through: Surveys as to optimum length (days). Format change to attract more shooters (mixed rounds, length, 3-D and field). The second GOAL will be to reduce the cost of business and increase the profitability. Baseline current fiscal organization (trends over last 5 years, expenditures) cost drivers, money makers. Reorganize as required to reduce expenditures. Assess real estate situation (taxes, utilities, labor costs, insurance, etc.). Relocate as necessary. Intelligently reinvest assets (utilize financial advisor).

by Chuck Crowell - President, NFAA

The third GOAL would be to streamline the Constitution: Clearer definition of duties and limits of authority for: Officers, Councilman, and Directors. Reduce/Simplify the number and complexity for rules governing NFAA games. Reduce the number of outdated games to reduce size of the Constitution (conduct poll on rounds being utilized).

see me at a tournament. We must compile as much information as we can in order to make sound management decisions. To do this I need your help! You are the NFAA. To reach the goal we must at times run with the wind, other times against it — but we must certainly run, not walk, nor stand still. Chuck

To reach these goals we need a starting point. To do this I am forming a Steering Committee of 8 to 10 people who will design and build the highway system which will help us to reach these goals by the year 2000. This committee will be made up of members of the Board of Directors, Board of Directors Council, Officers, you the member at large, and individuals from the archery industry. To enact some of these goals we will be sending each member a questionnaire so each of you can have your input into the process. It will be essential for you as members to answer the questions and send them back so we can compile the information. We will put the questionnaire in a form whereby you will not have to destroy your magazine to send it back for those of you that collect them. Wc will also have questionnaires at the tournaments which will help us to determine what changes you would like us to make at these events. Please take the time to answer them. 1 would also ask any of you as members to please write any ideas you may have and send them to me and I will see that the committee receives a copy of them. Please be constructive in your comments. The NFAA can and will move forward, but it will take a concerted effort by all the membership, not just a few.

IFAA World Field Archery Championships The IFAA in its upcoming World Field Archery Championship, August 12-16, 1996, will be previewing its newest competition. Simultaneously with the WFAC-96 at Darrington, Washington 12-17 August 1996, will be the "Champion of Nations Award.” This competition will feature seven (7) archery teams, one from each member nation, and the top three (3) teams will receive the gold, silver and bronze Champion of Nations Awards. Team member must be adult men or women. The one (1) position in each style may be filled with an adult man or woman at the nation's discretion (longbow style must shoot longbow). There will be no Professional, Junior or Cub competitors. No Veteran competitors (those archers age 55 and over, competing in the regular WFAC competition in the Adult division will be eligible). Team size is intended to be seven (7). Teams of a lesser number are acceptable; especially where a nation has no competitor in a particular style. However, no duplication of style is permitted (a team of less than seven is capable of winning). Registration fee is SI00.00 U.S.S per team. If you would like to be a member of the NFAA team — contact me — President Chuck Crowell. It would be preferred that you contact me prior to 1 July so that we can select team members and perhaps have a shirt or cap made to show our national logo. The seven styles are: Barebow (BB), Bowhunter (BH). Bowhunter Limited (BHL), Bowhunter Unlimited (BU), Freestyle Limited (FSL), Freestyle Unlimited (FU), Longbow (LB). Archen'

2. Targets: The targets will be put out on the existing range in the following manner, it makes no difference in what distance sequence the range is laid out: The first target will have either a field or hunter face. This will be at the discretion of the tournament chairman. The second target will have a 3-D animal target. The animal target will be set in a direct line at an unmarked distance somewhere between the furthermost animal stake and the existing target butt. The target is to be set in this direct line for safety purposes. Target number three will again be either a field or hunter target. Target number four will be another 3-D animal set as described above for number two. This rotation sequence between field or hunter and 3-D animal targets will carry out through the 14 target unit, or 28 target unit, however the range is laid out. 3. Scoring: a. When shooting either the field or hunter targets, you will shoot four arrows from the stakes that you would

Editorial Report v'7 L

by Arlyne Rhode, Editor

Thanks to all of you for coming to the Tulsa NFAA Indoor Championship and making it a real happening. Because so Illtuiy 1NFZA./A aiJU UZ-kZT. Wiupvinvio vtu.iw many NFAA and 1FAA competitors came from far away places like Germany, Costa Rica, Australia, Canada and, of course, the U.S., we decided you all deserve to have your name and score in Archery. I hope you noticed you are holding one of the — „ issues we have ever printed. ~> larger To include all the National/World results, we have had to reduce the size of print used for the scores. Let us know what you think. Congratulations to the champions and to those who support the efforts of the NFAA leadership. Thanks and praise to the Tulsa club who put in many hours of volunteer work to give us a place to shoot our bows, see new products, meet old and new friends or just have an excuse to get away from home and see the great U.S.. I’d like to apologize for this magazine being a few days late but we thought you would enjoy seeing everyone’s name in print. Our organization stated in 1939 after breaking away from the National Archery Association which has been organized . *-■ ionn i_ inon *i------- ----- since 1879. In 1939 there was a strong movement t" ----------,, for , hunting to 1have rounds practice rather than target. To this ■ . . ■ day . hunting is a big part of about 85% of our members’ lives. See John Slack’s article, Memories, on page 25.

Since the last issue I received a letter from a new member commenting on the hog hunting story' we ran in the last issue. Because I was raised on a farm and helped my father butcher pigs, calves, chickens and’ wildlife, ’1 ----wasn’’*t -r™i.'..r offended by rhp the words in the article. In fact, the original wording was stronger than what ended up in print. I agree we have to be aware of what the anti-hunters read in our publication. We will continue to have hunting stories and our Editorial Board will continue to evaluate each story'. There will be killing at the end of a successful hunt. Man hunts and kills his food as does a lion. We do need all of you as members and we know we can’t all agree on how stories are presented. If you don’t like hunting stories, we hope to have plenty of how-to and tournament results in this and upcoming issues. Why not check out the notice from President Chuck Crowell on page 9 about the International Field Archery Association Team. Thank you for your comments and letters. We hope , to keepr workingotowardda dynamic, forward organization. -j-----------■> *~* ■•**» — moving vig,aui z_.auvn. » Check out the changes taking place in the Headquarters -Report.

IFAA News

Ji by Ken Rogers, President

This will be a rather short column this issue due to the timing of the World Indoor and the Archery magazine deadlines. The inaugural IFAA World Indoor Archery Championship was held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, over the weekend of 30-31 March. In my opinion, it was a success. Input received from the archers appears to bear that out. Three hundred ninety one (391) archers participated in the first WIAC which was hosted by the NFAA (USA). The NFAA, while conducting their own 17th Annual Indoor Championship and accommodating over 1,000 archers, did their usual profes sional job while also accommodating, simultaneously, the World tournament. Although I had expected no archers from outside the U.S. because of the World Outdoor also being held here this year, we ended up with quite a number from Canada, three from Germany, two from Australia and one from Costa Rica. All of those, by the way, are planning on also attending the World Field Archery Championship in Darrington, Washington, in August. The use of the NFAA Flight system in the World tournament seemed to be a simple decision when made. In reality it proved to be not so simple. This occurred because archers in one flight with one

tournament were not necessarily in the same flight in the other. This of course was, in part, due to the difference in number of archers in each tournament and the different number of styles. Because this led to manually working the IFAA flights from the computer run out, the whole award process was slowed down. The double awards added to that delay. Even so, the award ceremonies on Sunday went smoothly even ifa little longer. The NFAA holds three awards ceremonies, one after each line on Sunday, which moves the process along extremely well. This method certainly aided in reducing the delay of a double tournament to a minimum. Overall, I find myself well pleased with this first IFAA World Indoor and expect it to become a regular IFAA Championship. We now have the data to place before the World Committee for their consideration. I take this opportunity to thank all of those who shot in the WIAC especially those who came from other countries. Also, to thank the NFAA for hosting this first tournament. I have been associated with the NFAA for nearly 30 years, most of that as a Director, Councilman, President and now as the Immediate Past President and again, as Councilman. Therefore, it was a source of great pride to me for my

Association to accept the job of hosting this event. To all of the first “World Indoor Champions,” my sincere congratulations along with those of all the IFAA. Before closing, let me address a couple of points regarding the World Field Archery Championship scheduled for Darrington, WA, August 12-17th. The awards ceremonies for both the World Field and the North American Field, will be held on Saturday the 17th of August 1996. Some of you have asked about the dates including Saturday the 17th. It is normal in the World to have the awards the day after the conclusion of the tournament. Another item is ages. The ages in NFAA Cub, Youth, Young Adult and the Cub and Junior of the IFAA are not the same. For instance, the common error is a 17 years of age archer registering as a Junior. A person 17 years of age as of the first day of the tournament is an Adult. Please consult your registration forms for this information. Hopefully, the results of the World Indoor and pictures will appear in this issue. See you in Darrington. Until next issue, Ken See page 46 for photos & scores

Accuracy material is smooth on the release. We even incorporated low-drag micro-stabilizers to help keep your arrow tracking perfectly. And if that’s not enough, we made nock replacement literally a F snap. Whether shooting field, target or hunting, Saunders arrow systems outperform the competition...and we will prove it. Call our voice mail toll tree day or night 1 800 228-1408 Ext 66 with your arrow size and string count and we will send you samples at no charge.

♦Accuracy is what Saunders is all about. Our patented Combo points, endorsed by the major 3-D target manufacturers, maximize stability and minimize drag and target wear. Our <SS« patented lightweight point inserts provide the most precise point alignment available. And to match that precision for the arrow's trailing edge Saunders patented nock/receivers do the trick. The nook's deep throat makes nocking positive and its tough slick

‘WteMuyitei,... of the NFAA By John Slack, Past NFAA President

Continuing with the history of the NFAA

“Now, because ofthis, plus the adoption glamour ofthe tournament and couldn 7 be of new classification and handicap rules bothered to take into consideration thatfor at the National Tournament, the failure of every tournament archer there is a hundred John Yount’s sudden decision to resign the Board of Governors to adopt a very who could be sold on some other form of as a Secretary-Treasurer of the NFAA vital amendment to the by-laws that was the sport." certainly threw the NFAA a “curve.” I think voted unanimously by the Executive “I have worked for twenty odd years John’s November article in the 1958 issue Committee and the re-election to the office trying to develop a workable handicap for of Archery best explains his frustrations ofPresident ofa man who is himselfafree archery and it still needed improving, but with NFAA President Karl Palmatier and style target archer and who has done most now all that work is gone and we are back the direction John felt the NFAA was to convert the sport tojust anotherform of to the same old hit and miss handicap and going, a direction John didn’t feel was good target archery.

For many years, people have wondered why archery hasn’t grown and thrived like golf, tennis, soccer and most other sports. Archery participation seems to have gone up and down in cycles over the years with no obvious clues as to why so many people get out after three or four years. Well, like a lot of other people, I have a theory. It is based on the premise that any competitive sport must have some key ingredients in common to make them attractive to people in general. 1. An initial overall appeal to a large number of people. As we all can verify, archery certainly looks like fun, looks easy to do and you don’t have to be a gymnast to participate.

2. Affordability’. All popular sports are relatively affordable. Archery’ certainly is. It’s not very expensive at the entry level... $100 to $300 on average to get started, and from $0 to $4.00 per hour to shoot. 3. A system to reward and recognize different levels of advancement. Archery has these support systems ... at least within each organization. NAA has JOAD and all of its other internal achievements, up to and including an Olympic gold medal. NFAA has a similar achievement system. ASA and IBO have theirs also, but there is not a sport-wide system of recognition like golf, tennis, or bowling. Archery seems to be fragmented into five special interest groups . . . bowhunting, compound target shooters, recurve target shooters, traditional shooters, and 3-D shooters. Because of all the prejudices and polarizations between and among these groups of shooters, a united front for archery seems unlikely unless we recognize this fact and attempt to overcome it. 4. Universally accepted training programs. Most sports are perpetuated by a large system of industry professionals and qualified coaches who teach an easily definable technique or form. In my opinion, this is the biggest problem in archery. Unlike golf, tennis, bowling, boxing, baseball, football, and basketball, which are

Archery

all great sports that have had many decades to perfect their game, equipment, and most importantly their techniques, archery seems to be in a constant state of change. In the last year or so, we have just reached (in a lot of people's opinion) the limits of bow technology... i.e., arrow speed. In the last five years, we discovered the popularity of 3-D archery, which has dominated our industry' ever since. Our biggest stumbling block though, is our overall inability to disseminate the knowledge about the proper technique or form necessary to be competitive on a long term basis in our sport. Although the mental game is the real key to top competitive archery, or any sport, but only after techniques or form

becomes constant and is no longer a variable. Therefore, at all but the very top level of archery, form IS the biggest variable and becomes key, and the mental programming necessary to win has very little consequence here. Any golfer knows it is really difficult to hit a ball 250 to 300 yards straight down the middle consistently. They all realize it depends on form. He or she knows when they slice or hook the ball right or left, or heel the ball, or top it,... why they did it wrong. They realize they didn’t hit it squarely or smoothly and they know the only way to hit it straight is to adopt a universally accepted swing which can be taught to them by the local pro. (Golf has approximately 5,000 teaching pros in the U.S.) As in tennis, bowling, baseball and most other sports, there is usually only one right way to do it with very’ few variations on that technique or form, because after 50 to 100 years of playing those games, the less efficient and therefore less effective ways of doing it fell by the wayside and the present form has prevailed. These sports recognize that superior forms or techniques will better perpetuate the sport and have set up and thus support large systems to teach proper technique to its participants. These teaching pros and coaches created by these sports generally teach technique the same way and withhold nothing from the students. After many years supported by these various systems, the average participant knows most-of the “secrets” of that sport. For example, most people have a pretty good idea why they slice a golfball, get a 7-10 split in bowling,

One of the first classes was held at Whitetail Archery, Lexington, SC.

pop up a high fast ball in baseball, get suckered by a left hook in boxing, or can’t slam a drop shot in tennis; they are pretty much common knowledge in these sports. In short, they know why they did it wrong and they understand how to fix it if they want to become more competitive. They know they need a “lesson” to get the “hitch out of their back hand,” etc. Their sport dictates that to do it professionally, or even competitively, you probably need to take a few lessons, unless you want to try to reinvent your own professional technique. (Once in a great while, these forms do prevail for a time.) This is where archery, in my opinion, gets completely off track. It may be because archery hasn’t had enough years ofexperience with equipment that has been technologically stable for a long time. (In just 20 years, archery has gone from recurve to 4-wheel compound to 2-wheel compound to 1-wheel compound with velocities increasing 100 feet per second.) Another possibility is that most of the winners don’t want to share their secrets with the losers, therefore condemning professional archery to stay a small circle of knowledgeable shooters... incapable of attracting a wide audience and a vast teaching network and a viable living for many professional archers, as is the case with golf, tennis, and most other sports. In any case, our downfall is, in my opinion, that we don’t really teach archery in this country ... we just sell archery equipment. The average participant only stays in our game three to five years and then leaves in frustration. This is the key issue we need to overcome. It’s not too hard to figure out that i f the average person does not know exactly why they miss and there’s no professional or qualified coach available to correct them, they will eventually draw the conclusion that they are not “cut out forthis” and go bowling or golfing. As I’ve learned from owning a pro shop and teaching for years, everybody wants to shoot like Jay Barrs or Randy Ulmer (or whoever is hot that year), but they don’t want to do what Randy or Jay does. They want to buy what Randy or Jay has! As an industry, we have promoted the notion that ifyou can’t shoot a tight group, BUY THIS BOW! If you can’t improve your score, BUY THIS RELEASE! If you still can’t win, BUY THESE ARROWS! Sad, isn’t it? Who are we really fooling? That is like telling a baseball shortstop that has made four errors in the last two games to BUY THIS GLOVE! Or, ifyou shoot 115 on the golf course, BUY THESE GRAPHITE CLUBS! When are we going to wake up

and smell the B.S. they’ve been putting out? Wake up! Take a lesson! You wouldn’t dream of becoming a state, national or world competitor at any other sport without professional lessons. Remember, it’s hard to find a great archer with bad form and it’s even harder to find a bad archer with great form! As I’ve recently found out by teaching NFAA’s new mobile shooter’s school, the shooters are hungry for knowledge. (If you build it . . . they will come!) Without proper instruction, how do we expect people to know that right-handed archers that have draw lengths that are too long tend to miss a lot to the left. Or, if the elbow is out of line, they’ll torque the string. Or, if they roll the shoulder, they’ll never hold the sight steady. Or, if they punch the trigger now, they’ll probably have full blown target panic in one to two years, or sooner. Then, they quit archery because they had no way of knowing any of this, or how to prevent or correct it. Currently, there are only about 4 shooting schools and probably less than a dozen qualified teaching pros and coaches in the U.S. No wonder most people are lost. The industry doesn’t promote solid form and techniques... they promote equipment! This is our biggest mistake. Why? Because we have a widespread self-destructive virus peculiar to our sport that is not prevalent in the others. Target panic/buck fever, in my opinion, is responsible for more “archery deaths” yearly than any other cause. It’s the reason we have nearly the same amount of archers get out of the sport as get into it each year. Since people aren’t aware that bad form makes your sight shake . . . and

the response to that is to anticipate the sight crossing the x-ring and then punch the trigger or pluck the string . . . and the anticipation of either of those leads to fear of missing or anxiety about possibly hitting . .. which develops into freezing off target, snap shooting, or flinching upon execution (target panic)... which baffles, frustrates, and confuses us ... which takes all the fun and fulfillment out of shooting. . . which causes us to play golf! At least golfers know why they miss and how to fix it (if they want to be competitive). Remember, if there is supposedly three million people shooting a bow in North America and there are only 4 schools and a dozen coaches .. . what’s wrong with that picture?! If golf had 12 teaching pros instead of 5,000 do you think there would be 24 million golfers? Teaching three million archers to shoot properly will solve more problems than building three million new bows! We need more education ... not more equipment. So, wake up and take a lesson.

Youth Archery ... Start 'em Young Single parents (usually women) with a young son or daughter, may be willing to support their child’s outdoor interests even though they may (most likely) not be their own. If only someone like yourself, with the knowledge and, most importantly, the interest in the outdoors, would just take the time to help them. Share some of your knowledge. Some of the greatest pleasures 1 have had as an adult and grandfather have been the “outdoor adventures” shared with my grandson, Alex. Our youth — your children, your friend's children, my grandson, and the kid across the street — are the future of our sport. The National Field Archery Association (NFAA) recognizes this need to teach our youth, so, they have developed the NFAA Junior Bowhunter Program. This program is designed to provide archery retailers, clubs, camps, and other archery groups with a game that can be used for the devel opment of our ___________________ ____ youth in our great Start ‘em Young sport.

Randy Allen

It was May 24, 1995. The day began much like any other day. The pounding got louder. His heartbeat quickened and the unexpected happened. Randy Allen, a 43 year old building contractor from Klamath Falls, Oregon, suffered an incredible heart attack. Only an immediately available team of skilled surgeons could perform the triple bypass surgery needed to save his life. It was November 25. 1995. The day began much like any other day. The pounding got louder. His heart beat quickened and the unexpected happened. With the Oregon's Columbian Blacktail season coming to a close, Randy Allen made his mind up to take the next legal buck that he saw. Randy has taken several trophy game animals throughout Oregon and many would easily score high in the Pope & Young records. Randy had spent 10 days chasing the elusive Blacktail and had seen nearly 100 bucks and does during the season. However, none of this was on his mind al 10:30 a.m. as he spotted a beautilul forked-horn Blacktail within range. Between Randy and this subspecies of the western Mule deer was a mixed bag of Hr and oak trees and an assortment ol incredibly thick underbrush. The landscape was gently sloping and the temperature hovered around 40 degrees. Randy was hunting in the Jackson County unit of southwestern Oregon, a unit known for record class Blacktail deer. Directly in front of him was a dandy forked-horn and with the season rapidly coming to a close, Randy made the decision to take the buck. As Randy rounded a thicket in an attempt to improve his position for a shot on the forked-horn buck, he could not believe what stood before his eyes. The senses kicked in, taking advantage

of a slight breeze pushing against his face and he thought the wind was perfect. In a smooth, many time rehearsed, poetic motion, he raised his left arm holding his Blue Mountain Predator. He nocked his XX78 2315 SuperSlam tipped with an 85 grain Thunderhead. He estimated the distance to be 25 yards. He had done this before in 25 years of bowhuniing, yet he had never seen such a buck! Perfectly broadside, within reach he brought the bow smoothly to full draw. His estimation of the distance was perfect and so was the shot. A single arrow slipped through the top of the heart and Randy stood still watching as the incredible buck made a short but nonetheless spectacular last ditch elTort to escape. A 40 yard tracking job was over and Randy Allen had set a Pope & Young record. Or should we say pending record. Until officially scored by three independent certified scorers for Pope & Young and an awards banquet to take place later this year, nothing is, as they say “concrete.” The current record was arrowed in 1969 by B.J. Shurtleff. Mr. Shurtleff killed his record buck in Marion County, Oregon. The Columbian Blacktail is a species that frequents the coastal ranges of Northern California, Oregon and Washington. Archery seasons for these prized deer run late in the year and give archers the chance to hunt prior to and during the rut. The 1995 season now past, his ticker working beautifully. Randy is looking forward to the 1996 season and hunting with his new Blue Mountain RazorBack. His gear, Iris heart and his desire all strong, Randy is focusing on the 1996 Spring Oregon Black bear hunt. After all, it's something to do until the Blacktail season opens.

Bowhunting Story of the Month Wyoming Wildlife By Virgel Riggs Bowhunting for deer in the Medicine Bow National Forest, Area 60, antlered deer only. Hunted near Eagle Rock. Brought my wife along so she could study in the quiet of the mountains. No phones, no visitors, no hassels. Got uall> “camo-ed” up, cover scent wafers pinned on. Natural pine and fresh earth. 1 smelled like someone had dug up a Christmas tree. To back up some, as we approached Eagle Rock, a large herd of antelope were running away from Eagle Rock, they were in full run mode,,as being chased. Also, as through the gate to the camp area, wewent ' there was a person in street clothes standing on the very top rock. I checked my watch, it was 5:30 p.m. when 1 headed out. Told my wife that I would be back at last light, if she had any problems to blow the hom and I would . head in. Headed south and was on to two young buck deer within a half mile. I worked closer and trailed them as they angled back to the road. Got to about 50 yards and they were grazing in the open. 1 was in the timber without a shot. Maybe they will graze closer? Then a car came along and drove them further away. Dam! Checked my watch, 6:30.1 ’ll head back toward the truck. There was a game trail about 200 yards from the truck, I had seen a herd of deer there last night. Told myself, I’ll set up there and watch until last _i l_ . .head. for the truck. shooting light, ,then Short distance to the truck and I would still be able to see some. Three game trails came together and there was a 360 degree view with enough cover to hide in. Found a small deer bed at the base of a pine tree. Good enough for them? Good enough It was 7:00 „ for me.----------3 p.m. I had almost 45 minutes of shooting light. 1 had been very still, moving only my head very slowly to scan the 360 degree view. I had checked my watch at 7:10. Then 1 saw a blob of tan with a blob of black on top of it, laying in the road, in front of the gate to the camp area! It looked like a cat, but it was very still. Brought my binoculars up very slowly and focused them. There before me was a mountain lion, watching me watch him. He was less than 50 yards away, laying there, taking up about one half of the width of the road!’.

Archery

We observed each other for about seven minutes. He lay there gazing at me, moving his head only to look in the direction of anouici suuuu Then ...v..he ....would focus back another sound. o^me.* I’don’t think he knew what I was, on me. but then I realized that I was in his favorite hunting spot and probably IN HIS BED! Remember the little deer bed? I think he was confused, didn’t know what to make of it, so he just lay down to study the situation! At any rate he wasn’t ” 1 afraid of me, or my wife, as ■1 ■later found out. He finally stood up and stretched. Thatt is when I noticed his gender, until now 11 wasn’t sure if it was male or female. He was about waist high to me (I’m 6’1”). And larger body than some deer I’ve taken. Guessing, I would say he weighed 150-180 pounds or more. Slowly, he stretched each leg just like a house kitty. He was a real specimen. Fat and sleek, his only blemish was a dark red streak (dried blood?) on his right side, just below and behind the withers, He did not move catlike! He moved slowly and deliberately like he was stiffand sore. He did not limp, but he was not fluid either! He tucked his long tail up under his belly and went away from me, through the fence and toward the truck. I sat there and watched him disappear into the brush. Then it occurred to me that my wife is at the truck, probably sitting the end gate doing her college algebra homework! I picked up my bow, nocked an arrow and attached the release to the string. I would shoot only in defense. As I moved quickly in the opt -pen to the fence, I heard the hom on the truck sound twice. “I’m coming,” I shouted and went over the fence i ' down the roadway to theJ truck as fast and as possible, but still cautious.

My wife opened the truck doorand said, “‘There is a„mountain lion behind the truck, be careful, “I know,” 1 sa'd as 1 approached the truck. “I followed nun! Hand me my pistol, I can scare it off!” If it was still in the area after the horn blowing and the truck starting. Got out of my camo gloves and head net listening to Shirley tell me about the tilings she heard all afternoon. She would hear heavy footsteps on dry pine needles, but look and see nothing. Shirley was sitting cross-legged on the end gate of the truck. She heard something approaching in the brush. It was last light and she expected me. At first she thought it was a deer, then it got closer and she recognized it as a mountain lion! It was less than twenty . .yards from the truck to the brush! He moved slowly, but not afraid, In record time Shirley was on her feet, around the truck, in the cab, and on the horn! In retrospect, a few possibilities are worth considering: A. Did the rock climbers push this mountain lion out during the day? B. Did this big guy get an antelope and was he full and lazy? Remember the antelope herd. C. Had he been stalking Shirley at the truck, or had the truck been parked on his game trail? D. Was I really set up in his best hunting spot? Sure seemed like a good ambush spot to me, maybe he liked it, also. E. Cover scents and camo work, not only to deer and elk, but other “critters” also. Be careful! As we drove out of the camp area we took a mag light to look for tracks on the road. We found the tracks, mainly in sand on the edge of the road, but we found one good solid track in some clay dirt. I balled a fist and put on top of the track. The edges o the track were about an inch on either side of my fist! It was a real treat to see, and study, a full grown adult male mountain lion in the wild. I can understand now how a lion can carry off a small person or child, as happened recently in California. In closing, just let me say it! Wyoming Wildlife is, INDEED, worth the watching- •

IDAHO Bear Initiative — WLFA principals spent a week with the leaders of the Sportsmen’s Heritage Defense Fund in December to provide Media Relations training to the sportsmen who will deal with the press during a potential ballot initiative that would ban bear hunting with dogs and over bait. The WLFA continues to be impressed with the organization and fund-raising efforts of sportsman’s groups in Idaho. MASSACHUSETTS Ballot Initiative — Massachusetts sportsmen are gearing up for a ballot initiative that would ban trapping, bear hunting over bait and the use of dogs in bear and bobcat hunting. Passage of this fruit salad initiative, The Massachusetts Wildlife Protection Act, would also eliminate the current requirement that potential members of the Fisheries and Wildlife Board must have held a sporting license (hunting, fishing to trapping) for five consecutive years. Antihunting groups collected 64,928 petition signatures to qualify the issue in December. If the legislature fails to enact by May 10, 1996, an additional 10,821 signatures will be required by July 1, 1996 to place it on the November ballot. With the help of the Gun Owners Action League (GOAL), The Citizen’s Conservation Coalition has been formed to begin mounting a campaign. WLFA has pledged support to the Massachusetts sportsmen, and will travel there February 16-18 to meet with the coalition leaders and conduct a Media Relations Workshop. Sportsmen in Massachusetts requested the workshop after hearing about the WLFA effort in Idaho. WASHINGTON Lawsuit Update — Three activist groups, Greater Ecosystems Alliance of Washington, the Mountaineers, and the Sierra Club, Inc., filed suit in federal court in 1995 against the Washington Department of Wildlife and the Washington Wildlife Commission seeking to ban black bear hunting with dogs and over bait in sections of the Cascade Mountains. Their contention was that hunters pursuing abundant black bear could allegedly pursue or even kill one of Washington’s few, isolated and endangered grizzly bears by mistake. They argue such as mis-identification would be a violation of the Endangered Species Act which Protects the grizzly.

Today in archery we have target that are 3-D, stabilizers that are 3-D. bows that are 3-D, and the list goes on and on. What has really been the big boom, in archery products, with the name 3-D attached, is when we started shooting the 3-D targets with high performance bows. The market was forced to create a new market with tougher and more durable made products. The newest version of the Chek-It sight is called 3-D Target Sight or even better yet, it should be called the IB-5 l.B.O. 3-D target or hunting sight.

used mainly' so we don’t have to guess every' lime we take our sight off the bow. The sight extension is mounted directly to a new sight gimbal with two mounting screws with lock washers. The new sight gimbal is a tremendous advantage in leveling the sight pin or scope for up and down hill, for a much higher degree of accuracy. The new sight block assembly is completely beefed up and comes with a new aperture block that allows the use of a 5/.n or '%2 threaded scope or aperture rod. The new 3-D block comes with a stainless steel straight pin and a level pin. It also comes with a heavy duty pin guard with the aperture block attached. This complete block assembly can very quickly be detached when not in use. This is very useful when transporting bows in bow cases. The micrometer worm gear, this year, has a finer adjustment with a .003 audible click adjustment for both windage and elevation. Once the worm gear is used for micro elevation adjustment, the block assembly is locked down with a nylon tip thumb screw. The new slide has a more durable thumb lever adjustment to eliminate backlash. Once the worm gear is used for micro adjustment, then the locking thumb screw must be used for total security of any possible sight movement. The other new hunting sight that ChekIt offers new for 1996 is their LS-300 3-D hunting sight. This sight is virtually the same sight as the LS-200 except this sight has the same 5'/4 inch heavy duty sight extension as the new IB-5 competition, hunting sight and the extension is held securely in place with a locking knot and the choice of one of four drilled and tapped holes for continual sight placement preference.

The new IB-5 sight that Chek-Itsentme is referred to as I.B.-5. Il has a 5'A inch heavy duty extension, and is milled to create a lighter but stronger extension. It has five holes drilled and tapped, not for use on this particular sight, but is used on other Chek-It sights. The side mount The LS-300 sight has both micro provides the ultimate in repeatability for adjustment on both elevation and windage locking down the sight extension. It locks and both can be secured in place with alien into position with two nylon tipped thumb head screws. screws. It also comes with a measuring tape This is one tough built 3-D hunting sight that is an extension position marking tape. which includes a double track sight bar that 40

angles the brass pins to cut pin gaps to almost zero and puts each pin’s aiming point on a straight plane. The brass sight pins can be individually adjusted vertically and can also be gang adjusted for both elevation and windage by using the two stainless micro adjustment screws. The new LS-300 hunting 3-D sight also comes with a heavy duty sight pin guard and a quiver bridge mounted on the end of the sight extension for mounting a hunting bow quiver. With continuing development over the past thirty years, Chek-It continues to be one of the leaders in archery products and can compete with the very best of the archery' market.

The Bowman Accu-RiserBow The really true innovation in archery technology is a rare occurrence. This generally' happens when an engineer, modem thinker, or just an archer with a creative idea and with painstaking trial and error comes up with a truly remarkable bow. The Accu-Riser bow, created by Stewart Bowman, is a modem twenty-first century' bow that fits into this category. This surely isn’t the first forward handle bow, or the first swivel grip bow, but this is the best looking, best design and best shooting. Stewart Bowman, after fifteen years in the pursuit of equipment excellence, finally arrived at this unique design. The AccuRiser, just in the design, is the smoothest, most forgiving bow on the market today. Since it has the unique reflex design an arrow approximately three inches shorter may be used, without the use of the overdraw. The bow that Stewart Bowman sent me is his top of the line competition bow that he calls The Bowman Accu-Riser. This top of the line target bow arrived with the riser anodized in violet color, not just a violet, but a shimmering ultra violet, in one of the

be transmitted to the bow during the shot. While the primary reason fbr the extended swivel grip is to eliminate shots due to bow handle torque, it also allows for extremely fine draw length adjustments, and can also be used to slightly change the angle of the grip to accommodate for either high or low wrist shooting styles. The length of the limbs, for this particular bow that was sent me, are 16 inches in length, black in color and are recurve carbon laminated to add additional beauty to the bow; The wheel slot is 3Vs inches long and ’A inches wide. A bright reinforcing button is installed at the base of the slot. The machined aluminum high performance eccentrics are hard black anodized, complete with lifetime bushings and are held in place with hardened, ground and polished "super” axles, for an extremely smooth draw'. The eccentrics come with modules, and on this particular bow; at my 26 inch draw, number 8 was installed. Four different modules can be used to extend the draw length to 30 inches. The cable guard rod is Vs inch in diameter and dog legged to obtain required clearance. It is located near true center to equalize cable offset and is held securely in place with tw'o Allen head screws. I know that the newest trend involving the yoke systems are to the soft yoke systems attached to the outside of the limbs but sometimes the tried and true methods are just as equal on what we are trying to accomplish. This system that Stewart Bowman uses on his bow allows for micro adjustments for fine tuning for the roll-over

best anodizing that we have seen on competition bows. The length of the handle riser is approximately 23 inches and is center-shot to approximately ’A inch from center of arrow to the riser to allow for maximum tunability and for greater fletching clearance. The riser is milled from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy into the “Super-Lite” I beam construction for extra strength and totally resistant to any flex or vibration. The elegant milling of the handle riser not only creates a light weight handle but a piece of work that should win some awards for product design. The extended grip is held in place with tw-o Vs inch - 4 inch long rods and they are held firmly in place with two Allen screws both top and bottom. The extended grip is contoured of magnesium, black pow'der coated, and is mounted on two friction free swivel bearings to allow absolutely no torque to

of the eccentrics. The Accu-Riser bow is available in 4 different length of limbs, allowing the bow maker to accommodate archers w'ho wish a different length bow for their style of shooting. These different lengths from 38 inches axle to axle to 46 inches axle to axle surely will satisfy any archer. Stewart Bowman also offers several color choices. They come in black, violet, turquoise, violet two tone, neon yellow, red and, of course, camo color for the many bows that he manufactures for the bowhunters. All models are available in almost any poundage ranging from extremely light weight to 100 pounds, both right and left hand. This bow is remarkably easy to tune and with a few minor adjustments for my style of shooting was ready to sight in. The Accu-Riser bow is nice to handle and very good balance in the hand. The draw is pleasant and even with the soft cams, nothing was harsh during the peak draw and the let off. Noise level wras very low in spite of the excellent speed of this bow, especially with my A/C/E carbon arrows. There was very little objectional recoil or shock after the shot. Encourage your favorite archery pro shop to give a look at this bow. You will be impressed.

Pro News by M. J. Rogers

Another Indoor National goes into the record books. With the weather outside changing from cool to cold and raining, the shooters inside were just warming up. A practice day on Friday allowed everyone to become familiar with the lanes set up and the lighting. The archery club from the Tulsa area again did a wonderful job in setting up and the day to day operation of the tournament. Friday also was the start of some seminars hosted by Saunders Archen' and the NFAA Pro Division. Bob Ragsdale, Bernie Pellerite and Frank Pearson each presented ninety minute seminars on both Friday and Saturday. The archers attending enjoyed the valuable information along with refreshments provided by Saunders. The Pro Division is pleased to be able to provide these seminars for your information. The Saturday competition in the Pro Division men’s freestyle was intense. A total of four perfect rounds of 60 X’s and four rounds of 59 X's were shot. The Pro-Am held on Saturday evening set a record for participation with 243 archers competing in the 30 arrow event. The amateur archers competed for merchandise awards donated by the following sponsors: Precision Shooting Equipment, Sure-Loc Sights, Chek-It Products, 120X Sighting Systems, Specialty Archery, Original Brite Site, Carter Enterprises, Fail Safe Sports, Stanislawski, Easton Technical Products, Cavalier Equipment Co., Vista and New Archery Products. A special thanks to all of these manufacturers for providing product for the awards. The winners of the Pro-Am shoot are listed separately. Sunday begins early with shooting starting at 7:00 a.m. The championship line isn’t until 2:00 p.rn., but rest assured, the majority of the shooters are already starting to prepare for the finals. When the smoke cleared, shortly after 5:00 p.m., the winners were glad to have this day’s 60 arrows behind them. In the men’s freestyle limited, a new face rose to the top with William Boyd over Jason Street by only I point. The women’s freestyle limited saw a returning champion in Carolyn Elder with Patti Curtis in second. Women’s freestyle was decided by a shoot off with both women tied after two days with 600 and 112 X’s. It took two ends plus two more arrows scoring inside out for Nancy Zom to edge out Glenda Penaz. Both of these ladies are very serious competitors. Glenda is currently the World Record holder in the NAA Compound Target Indoor and Nancy is the NFAA Outdoor National Champion for the last several years. Now she has the Indoor Championship title to her credit. The men’s freestyle competition is always a nail biter with top honors being decided by a verj' narrow margin. This year’s top pro freestyle is Terry Ragsdale with the score of 600 - 119 X’s. This betters both Dave Bamsdale and Kirk Ethridge lied for second by I X. In the men's freestyle, a total of 22 shooters were paid, with only 6 X’s 42

CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR REPORT by M. J. Rogers

Gilroy, California

Sioux Falls, South Dakota

As I am writing this article spring is just starting to peek out from under its winter blanket. Some of tire days are beginning to warm, but in 24 hours I’m looking for a heavy coat and hat. That roller coaster weather describes some of the temperatures during the Certified Instructor courses the last few months. In December, Predator Archery of Gilroy, CA, hosted a class. They are just north of San Jose and the 60 degree weather for three days was a pleasant change for me. We had a good group of archers who are now Certified Instructors. A photo and list of names follows. Along with the standard information presented, we all learned a different way to check wheel timing. The end of January, I was treated very' warmly by a large group in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Too bad the weather wasn’t as warm. 1 was afraid to even look at a thermometer. The facilities provided by the host club, Minnehaha Archers, was excellent and as always, I enjoyed meeting the great group of archers making the effort to become instructors. Our most recent course was held at Issac Walton Park in Lynchburg, Virginia. I was treated to southern hospitality and a log cabin for a classroom. I must remember that iced tea comes out of the pitcher sweetened and grits are required fare at almost every meal. These latest Certified Instructor classes are just a sampling of the people that make up the NFAA program. The class is available to any NFAA club. It is held over a long weekend, Friday afternoon, Saturday sunrise to sunset and Sunday till mid afternoon. Information is packed into this weekend including: How to Instruct, Parent-Student-Instructor relationship. Equipment setup and tuning; Shooting and video taping form. Information on sports psychology, physiology and nutrition. We are utilizing resources available through the Olympic Training Center and the course provides dual certification. Both NFAA Certified Instructor and NAA Level 2 Coach to current NAA members. Shoot well, M.J. Rogers

Thanks to the NFAA leaders and the Tulsa Archen' Club we were treated to a well run NFAA Indoor Nationals and the first IFAA World Championships. The round consisted of 60 arrows (30 each day) from 20 yards for a perfect score of 600 with 120X possible. Those wishing to shoot both events had to register in both but used the same score. The Tulsa Convention Center is a great place to hold a tournament and show. Over 1100 archers were in attendance and some great shooting took place. Many perfect 600 scores were shot so the winner was selected by the greatest number of X’s. Mr. Perfection, Terry Ragsdale, shot top score of 600 with 119 X’s for the NFAA National title and IFAA World title in the men’s freestyle division, plus bonus money from Precision Shooting Equipment and Specialty Archer}'. After the event I congratulated Terry on his National title. Terry had this to say, “I enjoy attending the NFAA shoots — not only because the rounds (whether indoor or outdoor) have always been challenging — but because these events are always we) 1 attended by so many great people. Michelle and I have been fortunate to be able to travel to many places, shoot in many 46

Archery

different events, and meet so many nice people. Over the years, I have found the tournament results aren’t the important things but, rather, the friends we have made are.” “We both love to visit with our fellow shooters and talk about “bows-n-arrows”; that is what 1 love about shooting tournaments like Redding, Big Sky and the NFAA Indoor and Outdoor. It makes me feel very lucky to have a young shooter think enough about us to want to have a picture taken or a bow signed.” “The tournament in Tulsa this year was so much fun. I thought the location was great and the NFAA did their usual great job running this event. Everyone should try to attend next year.” Dave Bamsdale and Kirk Ethridge were tied for second, just 1 X behind. Forty-four perfect scores were shot in this division. Eight women shot perfect 600 scores with Nancy Zorn and Glenda Penaz tying with 112 X’s. This set the stage for a shoot off which the audience enjoyed. After two ends of three arrows they were still tied. Then they had to shoot two more arrows scoring inside out before Nancy was declared the champion.

See more details in the Pro News on page 42. William Boyd, the new kid on the pro circuit, won the freestyle limited division with a perfect score of600 over Jason Street at 599. In the ladies division Carolyn Elder shot 584 to edge out Patti Curtis at 577. In the Senior Pro Division, Diane Brereton shot a fine 596 for the women. Joseph Herbert and Frank Pearson tied for the men with Joseph having 3 more X’s and winning the title. After the awards I had a chance to talk to Cay McManus who easily won her barebow championship by 43 points for a new record of 583 and 60 X’s. The men’s barebow champion Don Ball had great competition from Randy Porter. Both had 585 but Don was declared champion with 62X’s against Randy’s 53X’s. These are only select champions. All are listed in the following pages. This year for a first time ever we have listed every score shot in the NFAA Indoor National and the IFAA World Indoor. Please write or fax me, Arlyne Rhode, 7315 N. San Anna Dr., Tucson, AZ 85704, Fax (520)742-0027, if you like to see all the scores or do not want to have them listed. Thanks in advance for your comments.

News From the Industry Jack Lyons Named as Coordinator of “Grass Roots” S.T.A.R.S. Tournament Series In order to develop the S.T.A.R.S. tournament concept from the grass roots level, PSE has turned Jack Lyons to help promote this challenging sport. "Few people in the country have as much experience in archer}' and very' few are as well liked,” said PSE president Pete Shepley. “We developed this tournament concept a few years back but soon found it has to work on a local level before shooters will follow it to major tournaments.” “The STARS concept tests both accuracy and speed,” Jack said. “Shooters of varying skill shoot as teams so it’s always a lol of fun. Because of the ranking system everyone has an equal chance to finish in the money." Jack also indicated that the STARS staff is developing an indoor version that should be ready for the fall season! In addition, there are plans to develop special rounds and prizes for kids at the STARS events. The tournament series will be topped off by a national championship in Tucson, Arizona, on April 25-26-27, 1997.

Information from New York State! NYFAB is ready for you! Hopefully, you have completed your nlans to join us at the Sugar Hill Recreational Area near Watkins Glen, New York to compete in the NFAA Outdoor Field Archery Championships during the week of July 29, 1996 through August 2, I99gi All stops have been pulled out to make this a week in New York State that will last in your memories for a long time. Eight ranges have been prepared for you to enjoy in your competing days during that week The beauty of trails typify the surrounding area of the forest, the plant life, the animal life. A climb up the “old fire tower” near the headquarters building will enable you to capture the beauty of the lakes below and the forests in which you competed. The point of our headquarters is the highest in Schuyler County. Therefore, the view on a clear day and/or night is remarkable. The weekend prior. July 27 and 28. will begin your travels to the “hill." Headquarters will be open on Saturday and Sunday for you to check in with the NFAA and NYFAB registration personnel. There you will check your registration and pick up your welcome packet with the information in it concerning the events for the week. The Schuyler County Chamber of Commerce will be available al the “hill” that weekend, as well as in their office downtown, to assist you with any questions you have with regard to the things to do and see in the immediate area as well as the surrounding area and state. On July 28, 1996, the Pro/Am Team shoot will be held downtown in Watkins Glen at the High School Athletic Field. Following that special event, the welcoming ceremonies will be held. It would be my hope that each stale in our NFAA association would bring to this event their Hag with someone in charge of it to “march” in our opening ceremonies to honor the states of those competing in this prestigious event. Please contact me if this is possible from your state. Perhaps it could be your NFAA Director? Wouldn’t it be great to see tire NFAA Directors marching in the opening ceremonies with their symbolic Green jackets as well as the officers and councilmen/women of NFAA in their Red Jackets. The ceremonies will, also, include local and slate dignitaries as well as people from the immediate area who so aptly supported and embraced the return of the NFAA outdoor Championships to Watkins Glen. Who knows — maybe we will have a race car or two! Special events have been lined up for the week for your enjoyment. A barbecue has been planned — line dancing al the hill under the stars — wine tasting events, etc. All special events will be addressed in your welcoming packet with sign ups indicated to the Special Events Chairperson who will be available during that weekend. We are ready! All we need now is you! See you at the “‘hill”!

Most■ us all a new game to rally around. The round, and its respective target faces, importantly, the round introduces a new target face that will be a compromise between the two has been placed into the NFAA Policies section as many current field round targets. The big scuttlebutt ”for ’this ’ 'trial period. J AU A" we ask is that — for the past 2 years seems to have been that the people as possible give it a try' and let us know 5-4-3 targets are too difficult for the average what you think of the whole round or just of the and new shooters, while the 5-3 targets seem target faces themselves. We don’t want to make too easy. The simple solution seems to be this the round or target “official” until it has been target, which splits the difference. It tested and surveyed by you. We’d suggest that incorporates the 5-4-3 scoring system, but it be used in club leagues, possibly Sunday increases the size of the 5-rings by shoots, or in addition to weekend tournaments approximately 25%. Compared to the 5-3 as a special round outside of various standard field round target the 5-ring size is championships, etc. So, how do I get the target laces, you may reduced by about the same 25%.

The second week in February, 1996, may go down as an historic date in the history of NFAA tournament archery' as this new round was passed overwhelmingly by the NFAA Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting. Proposed as “the New York Round” but further renamed the “NFAA Novelty Field Round” this new round incorporates several ideas that have been discussed in the past couple years. It offers a faster round (only 60 arrows are shot), which

PERFECTION PERFECTION! It is designed into every bow then meticulously crafted in every detail. It is honed by machine and caressed by hand into a smooth, accurate, shooting i machine. These results are born from 1 the vision and vast ’ knowledge of bow design of archery legend Earl Hoyt Jr, who also invented the bow stabilizer. It is this 'Legacy of Perfection' that gives every SKY creation like the innovative 'CONQUEST' the looks and shootability every archer dreams of and every manufacturer strives for. Owning a SKY is more than just owning th& smoothest, most accurate piece of shooting equipment available, it is like owning HISTORY. Own the BEST—Own the SKY!

As you have just read in the Headquarters report, a Built-in broadhead we acted on and passed a number of important changes ■f wrench r • 37' x 1074" x 574" to our Constitution and Bylaws at our annual meeting this February. I feel that five of these items are very important to the future of our Association so would like to elaborate on them a little bit. First, the rules for our National 3-D shoot were removed from the Policy section of the book and put under the section of the Bylaws covering Official ■un M8WB pan icntnMi Rounds. So now we have a set of rules for our National 3-D shoot that are official and not just guidelines. Second, we can now hold a sanctioned Sectional Compaci Arrow Casa 3-D shoot. Place and round to be decided by the ^- 7“ • 10-24 arrows up to Directors from our Section. After this item was passed, 353A" total length. I asked the Directors from our Section if they wanted • Designed for soft bow case pockets. to try and put on a 3-D in our Section this year, the . 3674" x Th" x 3" answer was yes. So as you will note in the Southwest Section shoot schedule (next issue) you will see all of the details about the shoot to be held in Prescott, AZ, October 12 & 13. MTM Molded Products P.O. Box 14117 Dept. ar Dayton, Oh 45413 In the future, we will be hosting this shoot on a bid basis, just the same as we hold our Sectional Field tournament. Unless the Directors choose to make some mandatory this year. In addition to that, we changes, the rotation for the 3-D will be AZ96, CO97, exposure to our Field rounds so hopefully added what we are calling our Championship NM98, NV99, CA2000, & HI01. So if any of you they will see that shooting circles is no clubs out there would like to bid on the future shoots, as boring as they think. Again, we need Hunter Round. This round, simply put, is the old 5-4-3 round. This matches up with what was contact ,your State— Director. --------v,^.. . your Feedback on this round. Third, Third, we have put a new Combination 3-D Animal^ Animal Fourth, we also put what we are in last year’s book, "The Expert Field Round,” and Field, or Hunter Round in the policy section of reperrjng to as the NFAA novelty round but which will not be called the '‘Championship Field Round.” The 5-4 Field and Hunter Rounds the book. This round was proposed to be put in the p0|jcy section. This round is a b,°ok as an Official round, but the Directors thought n imion ofour existing Field rounds. 1 he will now be called “Standard Rounds.” £U 1UUUU’UUL UIC Confused? What does all of this really boil dshould ou*d be put in the policy section for a time to scorjng is a little different along with the etcrmine if jyou ivmo folks wui out there op targets, and the distances that down to? Simply put, it now means that your iiiv.iv. would like to shoot it cn°ugh to justify it becoming an Official round. So being shol Take a g00d look at this tournament committees will have the option of shooting either the 5-4-3 or the 5-3 targets at we round, you may find it interesting. Ve really will need your feedback on this one. th h’s r°und is now being shot at a lot ' of clubs" Fifth, we took out the wording in the their shoots from now on. You’re asking again "•roughout the country and they like it.

our 20 pins and our handicap? These items need to be addressed, so ask your Directors what can be done about them. The above items have not been gone into in complete detail, just a basic outline. For further clarification you need to contact Headquarters and purchase a copy of our revised Constitution and Bylaws. In early January, I had a conversation with an archer that had relocated from one stale in our Section to another. Upon relocation, they joined the Stale Association in this new state. This archer was upset because the only contact that they had received from this new state was their membership card. Their thoughts were that they should have been given some type of a welcome,”... “glad to have you as a new members to our organization,”... “Here is what we are all about,” and again, “thanks for joining us.” This is really a good idea. All of our slates should make this a policy, especially to new members. We need to make them feel welcome and wanted otherwise they just may not be back. A little more on our guest shooters. I was told a story today about a club that had a recent shoot and handled the guest shooters in the following way. When they registered, they were given only one score card, they asked why. They were told that since there would be no awards for the guest class, there was no need for them to keep a double score. Al the end of the shoot when they went up to turn in their cards, they were told that since there were no awards in guest class, there was no reason to put their names on the score board so they could just keep their score cards. Results: Hurt feelings? Probably. Look al ii from the club’s side. No awards, dollars saved; one score card, dollars saved; no posting of names, time saved; no recognition for those freeloaders, TOO BAD.

Stanislawski Avenges Industry Over the last 20 years and more Mel Stanislawski has developed several new products for the archery industry. During this time several archery manufacturers and individuals have copied some of these products. I guess 1 should be flattered that the archery industry’ uses the Stanislawski Release as the Standard of Excellence. However, we feel this is interfering with our livelihood and we will take appropriate measures to avenge this practice byproducing our version oftheir products. Anyone attempting to redesign our product can expect this action in return!!!

The “Avenger” Release

•Anodized Aluminum Construction •Steel, Double Sear Set-Trigger, heat treated with Black Oxide Finish. •This release is a new concept for Stanislawski Archery Products as we recommend back tension releases. However, some of our s _ competitors have forced us into making a release of this style.

The “Avenger 3-D” Release

(•

This release was designed to clamp around your bowstring or a loop secured to your bowstsring, we recommend using an eliminator button on your string. To slide up under the arrow nock to eliminate any nock or string interference with the release aid. • Anodized Aluminum Construction • Steel/Electro Plated Double Set-Trigger

THIS ACTION WILL RESULT IN A NEW PRODUCT LINE CALLED

The Avenger Series
