VEGAS SH ROUND BASICS Target: All Championship (including Championship Young Adult) Divisions and Adult Flight Divisions will shoot on either the 40 cm Vegas three-spot target face with gold – red– blue (10-9-8-7-6) scoring areas or the 40 cm single-spot face with 10 through 1 scoring. The x-ring of the 40 cm Indoor Vegas Face will be used for tiebreaks in the Flights divisions and for 4th place or below in the Championship divisions. After the fifth end of competition, target faces are changed from bottom to top or vice versa.

Non-Championship Cub, Youth, and Young Adult recurve divisions will shoot on the 60 cm Indoor Face with 10 through 1 scoring. Cub, Youth, and Young Adult compound divisions will use the standard single-spot 40 cm Indoor Vegas Face or the Vegas three-spot target face. Archers using the dual face Vegas target can switch target faces (single-spot or three-spot) at any time during practice rounds and competition.

Distance for all Divisions: 20 Yards Rounds: Each round on Friday, Saturday and Sunday will consist of 10 ends; 3 arrows per end. The Junior (Non-Championship) Divisions will shoot only two rounds; one each on Friday and Saturday. A time limit of 2 minutes per end will be used.

You may enter either a Championship division, Flight division, or Junior Division. Archers may only register in ONE division and style and will remain in the same division all three days. The number of entries in that division will determine the number of places offered in each division. Based on last year’s registration, the number of places offered this year would be as listed.

The tournament guarantees the first three places for each division will not change; however, subsequent places may change based on attendance. This may be different than the published awards.

ROUND RULES Non-English Speaking Competitors: Every effort will be made to contact those archers who require assistance to understand the equipment divisions, scoring procedures, tournament rules, etc. Please notify a tournament staff person if language or other circumstances may cause communication problems.

Flights: Flight placements will be determined at the discretion of the tournament management. The method or methods used for determining the flights can be any combination of all three days of competition.

Junior Divisions: There will be two Junior divisions open to all archers, 17 years of age or younger; Compound and Recurve. Each division will offer three age groups in Male and Female categories; Cub (11 and under), Youth (12-14) and Young Adult (15-17). The archer must be the appropriate age at the start of the competition and remains in that category even if they celebrate a birthday during the competition.

All other ties (Flight and Championship) will be broken by the highest score and highest x count. Ties remaining after x count, will equally split the combined payout of the tied positions.

All Junior Division ties will be decided by the highest score in the following sequence 1) total x’s 2) 1st round score 3) 2nd round score 4) 1st end through 20th end score.

“Lucky Dog” Shoot Off: Any archer in the Championship Compound Open Division that shoots a 3-day total cumulative score of 899 will be eligible to shoot off for one spot with the 900’s in the Championship shoot off. The 899 shoot off will be held Sunday, time to be determined. It will be a 1-arrow/ end sudden death shoot off (1st arrow counting the X as a 10, then for each subsequent end counting the X as 10 scored inside out- no practice ends).

All qualified archers must turn their scorecards in at the podium within 10 minutes of the conclusion of the regular round. The “Lucky Dog” can be the “Vegas Champion” by winning the 900’s shoot off or will place at the top of the 899’s in the regular ranking placement.

900 Guarantee: All Championship Division archers shooting a score of 900 will be guaranteed a minimum prize of $2,500.

SHOOTING RULES 1. Each end (time period to shoot three arrows) shall be 2 minutes.

2. Archers shooting first will shoot the lower target face positions.

3. An archer shooting before the whistle signaling a 2-minute end or after the time has lapsed will lose their highest scoring arrow or arrows equaling the number of errant arrows shot.

4. For Championship & Young Adult Championship divisions only: one arrow is allowed per spot on a three-spot target face. If there is more than one arrow in a single spot, you will lose your highest scoring arrow or arrows in that spot.

5. If more than 3 arrows are shot during an end, only the lowest 3 arrows will be scored. A penalty of one point will be assessed for each additional arrow shot. Misses or zeros will be counted as lowest arrows.

6. If an archer shoots less than three arrows in one end and retires from the line, he/she may shoot the remaining arrows if the omission is discovered before the end is officially completed and the line has not been cleared; otherwise they shall be scored as misses.

7. An archer who purposely disfigures a target face to improve aiming or for any other reason may be disqualified. Arrow holes may be repaired, provided there is no delay to the round.

8. For Championship divisions, targets must be replaced with a new face after the 5th end.

Junior Divisions will shoot only two rounds; one each on Friday and Saturday. Archers may only register in ONE style and division and will remain in the same division both days of competition. Vegas Shoot scholarships will be presented to the top 3 place winners in each Junior Flight Division.

9. Any archer conducting himself in an unsportsmanlike manner will be immediately disqualified and removed from the site.

Championship Young Adults Divisions: There will be two Championship Young Adult divisions available to archers 15-17 years of age; Compound and Recurve. Championship Young Adult divisions will compete for cash prizes in a male/female-combined division. Participants must be between the ages of 15-17 at the start of the tournament to compete in these divisions.

11. Maximum arrow shaft diameter allowed will be 0.422 inches, with a point diameter not to exceed 0.425 inches. The shaft diameter will include any wrap placed on the arrow and will include the size of the nock and the nock insert.

Championship Young Adult divisions will shoot three rounds of competition; one each on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Ties: Championship division (including Championship Young Adult) ties for first, second and third place will be determined by the highest total score from all three days of competition, not counting x’s. All competitors tied with the same high score at the end of the third day will compete in a shoot off to determine final places.

The shoot off will include one practice-end followed by end-by-end sudden death. The first end will be scored with regular scoring followed by scoring where only the x ring scores 10 points. After each end, only those still tied with the highest score will continue in the shoot off. All archers’ placement in the tournament (other than first, second or third) will be determined by the order in which they drop out of the shoot off. If more than one archer drops out of the shoot off in the same end, those archers will be placed based on their total score and x-count of all three days, including the score and x’s accumulated in the shoot off.

No protests are allowed during shoot offs, judges decisions are final.

THE

Dress Code: All Professional members of the NFAA and anyone participating in a Championship Shoot Off or Awards Podium are required to meet the following dress code standards. It is suggested that all Championship divisions adhere to the following dress code.

Archers shall present themselves in clean and neat attire, acceptable to public view. Blue jeans/denim and any bottoms with holes, tears, or frayed material are not allowed. Archers shall wear pants, shorts or skirts. Shorts and skirt hems should approximately meet fingertip length. Shirts/tops shall be of a collared design. Archers may also wear uniforms provided by sponsors or their national team. Shirts must have a standard collar, Henley collar or mock collar. T-shirts, swimming suits, cut-offs and obscene or vulgar slogans or pictures on clothing are prohibited. Open toed shoes/flip flops/ sandals are unacceptable while competing. Dress code is not required during practice.

Smoking is Prohibited in the Shooting Halls. Smoking Allowed in Designated Areas Only. Please Obey all No Smoking Signs.

SCORING RULES Ianseo is the official electronic system for scoring. Archers are assigned their a,b,c or d placement by Ianseo which determines the order for scoring.

When scoring, archers identify who is the caller, scorer and target captain for their bale. The Captain helps to settle the final call on an arrow. If the group can’t determine a final score, then a line judge is called. A,b,c,d physical target face placement is first come first serve. Archers will be responsible for understanding the scoring procedures and verifying their scores. Free access will be provided to an Official Vegas Shoot Scoring link and mobile app where scores will be available on smart phones, kiosks and monitors throughout the venue.

1. A judge will make all decisions on scoring questionable arrows; their decisions are final.

2. All arrows must remain in the target, untouched, until scoring is completed.

3. Any archer intentionally touching any questionable arrow or any part of the target assembly (including other arrows, faces, pins, mat or stand) will result in the questionable arrow being scored in the lower scoring area. If it happens more than once, then the archer will be disqualified.

4. The three-spot target face is scored on the gold (10,9), red (8,7), and blue (6) rings. The target face must be placed on the mat in an upright position.

5. Arrows must touch the line to be in the next highest scoring area.

6. Any arrow that passes beyond the shooting line a distance greater than 10 feet as measured to the closest part of the arrow, will be considered a shot arrow. See mark on the floor.

7. If an arrow is embedded in the target beyond the nock, a judge must be called and the arrow should not be touched. If the arrow is touched before the judge arrives, then the arrow is not scored. If a judge cannot determine the value of that arrow, it will be considered a pass through and will be re-shot. No arrows will be pushed back.

8. Bounce outs can be shot again at the end of regulation shooting.

9. Each competitor must complete and sign his own scorecard. Both scorers must also sign it. When there is a difference on the two cards, the lowest score must be taken. Scoring tablets and paper scorecards must be turned in at the scoring table, in your assigned arena or hall, immediately following shooting. To be considered valid, scorecards must be turned in within one hour of the final end.

10. All scoring on the official scorecard must be completed in ink. Any changes on the official scorecard must be agreed upon and initialed by all archers in the scoring group. Any archery turning in an incorrect scorecard will be subject to disqualification.

VEGAS SHOOT SCHOLARSHIPS

VEGAS SCHOLARSHIP WINNER:

VALERIE ATEN Valerie Aten from Lake City, Michigan recently started attending Michigan State University. In 2016 she won second place in the Young Adult Female Freestyle division at The Vegas Shoot earning a scholarship. It was the first time sh competed at The Vegas Shoot, “I was ecstatic!

It’s one of the proudest moments of my archery career.”

“My grandpa hunted with a bow when he was young, and he taught my dad who then taught my brothers to shoot. I was interested in it as well, so my dad eventually took me to shoot and I haven’t put the bow down since. I completed the first year that I picked up a bo in 4-H. I went to a few local youth shoots and finished my first year at my first competit where I won the 9 to 13-year-old age class at the age of 9.”

She still shoots archery today and is currently on the Michigan State Archery Team. Valerie is majoring in Mechanical Engineering with a Mathematics minor. When asked if she’s still shooting today Valerie says, “Now, more than ever! I am pursuing Mechanical Engineering to join the archery industry and help design new archery equipment after I graduate.”

VEGAS SCHOLARSHIP WINNER:

ALEXANDRIA ZULETA-VISSER Alexandria Zuleta-Visser from Orlando, Florida is in the process of creating a competitive archery team at her school of choiceUniversity of Central Florida. She’s majoring in Biomedical Sciences with a minor in Music.

In 2016 and 2017 Alexandria competed in the Young Adult Female Recurve division at The Vegas Shoot winning second place both years.

She initially became involved in archery after seeing it on the Olympics. “Growing up my dad would choose all of the sports I did like Karate or Fencing, but archery was the sport that I chose. My family and I were watching the 2012 Olympics when I had said that I wanted to do archery. The aspect of people shooting bows and arrows seemed so cool to me. Also, the fact that it’s an unusual sport that most people aren’t aware of intrigued me.”

Alexandria has been competing since 2013.

Her first archery competition was the Florid Sunshine State Games, and first nationa tournament win was at The Vegas Shoot. “It made me really believe that I could perform better and win future tournaments.” As for today, she’s still competing. “I’m on the USAT Junior Team and represented the USA at the Youth Championships in Argentina. I will also start a part-time coaching position at a local school in the fall of this year.”

VEGAS SHOOT 5 WAYS THE VEGAS SHOOT WILL MAKE YOU A BETTER ARCHER The Vegas Shoot 2018 takes place on February 8-10, 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Every year, The Vegas Shoot attracts amateur and worldclass archers, including Olympic and world champions, to compete in what’s considered the “Super Bowl” of archery.

Offering $500,000 in cash, prizes and scholarships across its more than 25 shooting divisions, the Sin City tournament is popular among competitors for its structure and entertainment on and around the shooting line.

Each archer shoots 30 arrows per day, for three days, and can attain a maximum total of 900 points. Each shot is decisive when it comes to the prize money. From the firs to the last arrow, concentration, accuracy and precision counts.

Here’s five reasons why shooting the egas Shoot will make you a better archer…

CONCENTRATION Shooting 30 arrows per day is not a big deal, is it? But it’s quality what really counts when it comes to Vegas.

RE

Being able to concentrate on doing the same shot routine as clean as possible, to shoot all 90 arrows perfectly, helps any archer’s muscle memory and the event itself – and the training you‘ll do beforehand – will help make your shot instinctive.

COMPETITORS Whether it’s the pro bow hunters from the Sportsman Channel or Olympic Champions you’re learning your technique off, they’re all on the line in Vegas – competing with you.

Make sure you watch, chat to people, gain experience and learn from the shooters with their arrows in the middle.

GEAR The trade show in Vegas is one of the largest on offer to the public.

The products at the show are all fresh and plenty of the vendors do event-only offers for those lucky enough to catch them.

PRESSURE There’s nothing quite like standing on the championship line at Vegas, knowing there’s upwards of $52,000 on the line, and taking that first shot. And then the second, and then the third…

AR

…and you can take that pressure and multiply it by 1000 if you make it to the shoot down.

So even if, this year, you’re not going for the championship –there are still plenty of prizes on the line to get those nerves tingling. Embrace and enjoy it!

ENJOYMENT What’s sport without enjoyment? It’s easy to forget about time when you’re shooting and enjoying it, especially in Vegas. You’ll love spending time at this festival of archery – and the surrounding entertainment available – so much, we’ll bet you’ll come back again. And you won’t stop shooting in the meantime.

NFAA INDOOR NATIONALS RETURNS TO LOUISVILLE IN 2020-2022 The National Field Archery Association (NFAA) has chosen Louisville, Kentucky as the 2020-2022 location for the Indoor National Championships. The newly renovated Kentucky International Convention Center (KICC) lends 200,000 sq. ft of vendor and competition space in a single hall. Its downtown location is home to a large variety of hotels, restaurants, and entertainment within walking distance of the venue.

Dates: March 20-22, 2020 March 12-14, 2021 March 18-20, 2022 “The improvements that have been made to downtown Louisville in the past few years are incredible,” commented NFAA Executive Director, Bruce Cull. “If you have attended Louisville before, you will hardly

recognize the updated convention center. The downtown hotel scene is also new and improved. Most of the existing properties have been remodeled and new properties are popping up all over. We are excited to bring this event back to Louisville!”

The NFAA Indoor Nationals brings together the top archers from around the U.S. to shoot the iconic 5 spot, blue and white face. The tournament, now in its 39th year, was started in 1980 in Omaha, NE with just 500 attendees. It has called several cities home, including Kansas City, Tulsa, Louisville, and Cincinnati. Thanks to record growth, almost 2,000 archers compete each year for a chance at a National title. The NFAA was previously in Louisville for 13 years, from 2004 to 2016. A $207 million renovation and expansion project forced the NFAA to look elsewhere.

The NFAA has spent the last two years in Cincinnati and will return to the Duke Energy Convention Center for the 2019 Indoor National Championship.

“We enjoyed our time in Cincinnati but the amenities in downtown Louisville are hard to beat,” commented Cull. “We like that our participants can park their car and not move it for the rest of the weekend. There’s something for everyone in terms of restaurants and entertainment. It’s was fun to walk through the downtown area and see archers everywhere.”

The NFAA has worked closely with the City of Louisville to reserve hotels at competitive rates. Hotel booking information will be released following the 2019 Indoor Nationals.

THIRD AND FINAL LEG OF THE THREE STAR TOUR

The First Dakota Classic is an indoor distance tournament featuring the NFAA Classic round and is a money shoot, guaranteeing 70% payback in all Flight and Championship categories.

Following qualification, the archers in each division will be ranked by score and placed into a head-to-head bracket.

Head-to-head competitions will be the same target face as the qualification round and will consist of 3 ends of 5 arrows, Cubs at 30 yards, Youth at 50 yards and Young Adults/Flights and Championship at 60 yards. Winners will be determined by the total score of the 3 ends. If a tie still remains, the winner will be determined by a single-arrow shoot-off. Each archer will shoot one arrow and the arrow that lands closest to the middle wins the match. If no winner can be decided, the process is repeated until a winner is found. All participants will be allowed a practice end prior to scoring their first head-to-head match of the day.

Participants may enter one division and category. You will remain in the same division the entire tournament. The number of entries in that division will determine the number participants in each Flight or Head-to-Head bracket.

Fourth Quarter 2018

The 5th Annual Outdoor National Target Championships was hosted in Yankton on September 15th and 16th. There were 259 archers registered for the tournament this year, it was the largest attendance for Outdoor National Target on record yet!

The 2-day outdoor shoot featured a NFAA 900 Round on Day 1 and a NFAA Classic 600 Round on Day 2. The NFAA 900 Round consisted of 5 ends of 6 arrows shot at 3 distances, beginning with the furthest distance. Cub distances were 30-20-10 yards, Youth distances were 50-40-30 yards and Young Adult/Adult/ Senior distances were 60-50-40 yards. The NFAA Classic 600 Round consisted of 4 ends of 5 arrows shot at 3 distances, beginning with the closest distance. Cub distances were 1020-30 yards, Youth distances were 30-40-50 yards and Young Adult/Adult/Senior distances were 40-50-60 yards.

Official shooting on Saturday began at 11:00 am. The weather in Yankton for September is often unpredictable and turned out to be a warm weekend. The temperature climbed into the low 90s as the day progressed. The Easton Yankton Comfort Station had cold drinks and sub sandwiches for sale throughout the day, much needed for staying hydrated and focused during the competition. On Sunday, shooting concluded at 1:00 pm, and awards were held inside the center at 2:30 pm.

Taking home the bowls in the Professional Divisions were James Lutz (Pro Male Freestyle) with a total score of 1489, and Paige Pearce (Pro Female Freestyle) total score 1480. Paul Penrod (Senior Pro Male Freestyle) placed first with 1463, and Bernadette Diab (Senior Pro Female Freestyle) 1398 total.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Outdoor National Target Championships this year. It was a great success thanks to all of you! scores, tournament info and more at www.nfaausa.com 31

Jim and Greg Easton

Easton: Three generations of an archery family

EASTON:

Three G generations of an archery family

reg Easton became President of Jas. D. Easton, Inc. in 2009 and has continued the legacy of his father and grandfather by carrying on the family business, and developing the sport of archery through the Easton Foundations.

He became the second member of the Easton family to be awarded the NFAA Compton Medal of Honor in 2018, an honor his father received in 2004.

Nearly a century ago, in 1922, James Doug Easton started archery as a hobby and was making handmade long bows and cedar arrows. A perpetual tinkerer, he produced the very first aluminum arrows in 1939

36 ARCHERY MAGAZINE

n

Fourth Quarter 2018

His passion for technology was quickly passed onto his son, Jim, who finished studies in engineerin at UCLA before gaining experience at Douglas Aircraft – designing the air conditioning and pressurization system for the DC-8 jet – and then joining the family business.

After becoming President of Easton, Inc. in 1973, Jim’s commitment to improving the product line led the company to develop advanced aluminum-carbon composite technology and ever more precise manufacturing methods for the custom sports equipment that made the Easton name so renowned, not just in archery but hockey, baseball and cycling, too.

Watching from Jim’s side was son, Greg, who learned about archery and the family business from a young age. He recalls spending time with his grandfather, his grandfather’s workshop, and his father’s dedication to work.

“I remember my grandfather being late for dinner. He was always out in his workshop working and grandma would call him on the little intercom ‘come in for dinner’,” says Greg. “I also remember wandering around the orchard with him. And, I remember shooting my bow with him at their house.”

“My dad would go to the office an sometimes I’d go with him on a Saturday or Sunday, and he would work. I would just be making trouble in the office, digging through his des drawers and doing fun stuff like that.

But, I was working with dad.”

“In 2010, my dad had a stroke that really changed everything,” remembers Greg. “I went from being part of a pretty long transition plan, which was probably going to go for as long as my dad lived, to taking over the business overnight because he could no longer work at the level of intensity he had his whole life.”

Following Jim’s stroke, Greg quickly went from running Easton Technical Products to overseeing the group that includes Hoyt and Easton, as well as the Easton Foundations; a group of foundations dedicated to giving back to the sport of archery since they were established in the lead up to the Los Angeles 1984 Olympic Games.

THE FOUNDATIONS It is through the Easton Foundations that Greg’s family has always found a way to give back.

His father, Jim, was World Archery President for 16 years, a former Vice President of the International Olympic Committee and part of the organization of the 1984 Summer Olympics and 2002 Winter Olympics, all while running his own company.

Domestically, he contributed to the NFAA Junior Bowhunter Program in the 2000’s, developed higher-quality tournaments and started programs to put archery facilities in places where the public could access them, including the first Easton centers It’s a mission of ongoing investment in the sport that Greg continues.

If Doug was the inventor and Jim was the engineer, Greg is the businessman. He completed a BA in Economics and MBA from UCLA. He spent time working in Japan and Australia, and then joined his family’s company in 1989.

Already, the Foundations under Greg have supported the development of more archery centers across the country, including the training facility for the US Olympic team in Chula Vista, California. The Foundations have hosted major events, as well as contributed financial an organizational support to put development systems in place for the sport at all levels.

Greg worked in several roles at Easton before transferring to Hoyt Archery in 1996. Just five years later, he became the third generation President of Easton Technical Products, the company dedicated to arrow manufacturing.

“We had a bit of a challenge to get it to work from an evolution standpoint.

It’s gone from me thinking about what my dad wants to accomplish, to knowing we have done everything to honor his vision, to realizing it is time for my vision going forward,” he says.

“Having grown up in the sports business and in archery, there’s a lot of passion in people’s sports… baseball, softball, hockey...But the passion in archers always struck me as something special. They just really seem to be a great group of people – bow hunters, field a chers and target archers. We’re scoring targets together and we have to have a certain level of integrity and trust and valuing each other. You don’t see people cheating, trying to take advantage. Those people don’t last very long in archery.

It’s something I learned from my dad early on. I don’t even know how old I was – I was young – and he said, ‘the only thing a man has is his word’.”

— Greg Easton

NFAA FOUNDATIONS The NFAA Easton Archery Center and NFAA and Foundation headquarters in Yankton, South Dakota were supported by Greg and the Easton Foundations.

“In working with the NFAA, when Bruce [Cull] was building in Yankton, we started to really think about centers with a different mentality,” he says. “My dad’s vision was to build a wall around archery, so other things wouldn’t come and take over.

But we didn’t do that with Bruce and the NFAA. We now realize that other activities can help financially suppor archery and are a good way to get more people exposed to archery and what we have to offer.”

Not only is the Yankton center a world-class archery facility, it’s also the center of the community.

“When Bruce said he wanted to expand, to figure out what else h could do to bring in revenue and find a balance between archery an other activities, I thought it wasn’t about the facility itself – but for the management and leadership to keep archery as a priority, but be open to finding other things that could mak the center more viable,” says Greg.

Easton Foundations

The NFAA center has two permanent outdoor ranges, three permanent field courses and – since a recen extension for the World Archery Indoor Championships – two, huge indoor halls.

Archery is always available, and always happening, but so are other sports and activities that contribute to the center’s bottom line. It’s this business-minded, sustainable approach to developing the sport that has been the biggest shift in the Easton Foundations’ mindset.

Easton supports a number of archery projects worldwide, through its businesses and Foundations.

And that’s archery of all types: bowhunting, field and target up to th Olympic level.

And each project adds into the Foundations’ mission to help grow an all-encompassing offering for the sport; venues and structures in which people can start archery and go on to thrive in it.

“It’s really easy to say, ‘Hey, let’s grow archery.’ When you start breaking it down, you need to get more people involved in archery and shooting archery, enjoying archery more often,” says Greg.

Investing in grassroots projects that support the sport at the fundamental level can, for a businessman, be difficult to identify the returns “It is expensive to support these centers and programs, but it all works out. Maybe not this year or next year, but over time the sport reaps the benefits of doing the right things, says Greg.

As well as helping the NFAA build its headquarters, indoor and outdoor fields, the Easton Foundations hav also supported the NFAA Foundation in providing scholarships amounting to a quarter of a million dollars to over 300 junior archers.

“In Newberry, Florida, there was a kid’s mom who called because he was crazy about archery. She didn’t know where he got it and he’d never shot, but he wanted to try it,” recalls Greg. “That was

FAST FACTS Easton arrows have won all but 2 Medals in the modern Olympic games. More Olympic medals have been won using Hoyt products than any other bow manufacturer.

There are over 10 Easton archery centers and affil tes around the world Jas. D. Easton, the parent company of Easton Technical Products and Hoyt Archery currently employs 480 people across 3 organizations; the Easton Foundations currently has 18 employees.

seven years before the youth world championships [in Yankton in 2015] and that kid got exposed to archery, got engaged, competed and became an enthusiast. It really connected with me that we changed that kids’ life by providing the opportunity to learn archery; and there he was, seven years later, representing his country competing at the Youth World Championship. Spending money to change someone’s life like that and getting them into archery makes it all worthwhile.

COMPTON MEDAL OF HONOR It is Greg’s commitment to and unconditional support of archery that make him worthy of the Compton Medal of Honor, the highest level of recognition awarded by the NFAA. The coveted award has been issued sparingly, only 20 times, over the decades.

“Receiving the Compton Medal of Honor from the NFAA is an honor.

It’s not something they award every year, so it makes it a very prestigious, selective award,” says Greg. “To have it awarded to my dad and then to me, makes it extra special.”

“At Easton, we really believe one of our purposes is continuing archery.

It has a real place in human history, in the Olympics and in sport. When you get to the more modern times of competitive archery, we want to help continue that legacy.”

In his speech awarding Greg the Compton Medal of Honor, Bruce Cull described him as an intelligent, understanding, entrepreneurial, caring, compassionate, honest, ethical and philanthropic human being.

Husband to Carol and father of two, Greg has not only continued a legacy, he has begun to build a new one.

(For more on the Compton Medal of Honor please see the article on the next page.)

WHAT’S NEXT Archery is not a hobby for Greg, nor is it just a business; it is part of his identity. He still has a long time in which to make his mark on the sport.

“While it could feel like I’m following in the footsteps of giants, I look at it more like how do I build on the accomplishments of my grandfather and my father? Doug had a lasting effect on archery through the equipment he designed. Jim had a huge impact by keeping archery in the Olympics and further developing the technology. I strive to further the sport by providing opportunities for more people to enjoy archery and bowhunting.”

“When you think about the compound bow, created in the 60s, that bow could not have shot a wooden arrow. So, without the aluminum arrow that my grandfather created, you wouldn’t have a compound bow.”

“I am now setting a vision of what we want to do over the next 20 years with the Foundations.”

Whatever that future holds, the Easton contribution under Compton Medal of Honor recipient Greg Easton’s leadership will be significant “Whether I’m directly involved or not, I love hearing the stories of people whose lives have changed thanks to archery. It’s how archery has changed my life.”

NFAA Compton Medal of Honor Winners William “Chief” Compton William John Compton was born September 28, 1863 in Flint, Michigan.

At age seven, his family moved to Norfolk, Nebraska, where the young Will lived among the Sioux Indians. Compton’s early years were influenced by the loca Sioux and reportedly he was adopted into their tribe. He became adept at making the Sioux style bows, making and straightening arrows and stalking game under their tutelage.

NOT PICTURED: 1947 GEORGE BROMMERS — Visionary in the original small group that organized and established the NFAA. Champion of this national organization for field archery and bowhunters.

Chief Compton was a humble man, expert Bowyer and enthusiastic Archer and was, more than any other, responsible for the modern introduction of Archery to the West Coast. Primarily a bowhunter, Will killed his first dee at age 14 and hunted with the bow 30 years before Ishi first stimulated Saxto Pope’s interest in Archery. Saxton credits Will with taking numerous small game, bird in flight, many dee , elk, moose and even a buffalo with a bow. Compton and Pope shot with Ishi until his last illness. It was Will who met the expert rifleman and hunter Ar Young and introduced him to the bow and to Saxton Pope. After Ishi’s death the three shot and hunted together many times. Although acknowledged

by Saxton Pope in his writings as the “better shot of the three of us,” it was

1952

W.B. WESCOTT Second Vice President of the NFAA, served from 1946-1948. Designed the Compton Medal of Honor.

Young’s colorful exploits with the bow and Pope’s writings that caused Pope and Young’s names to become more famous than their teacher. The “Chief” brought Pope and Young together, gave them his wisdom of his years of hunting and instilled in the, and many others, a love for the primitive use of the bow.

Will Compton passed away in 1938 at the age of 75. In 1947, the National Field Archery Association recognized “Chief” Compton’s contributions through its highest award, the NFAA Medal of Honor, “which shall be known as the Compton Medal of Honor and it shall be bestowed sparingly and only in recognition of outstanding and unselfish contributions to Archery i any of its phases.”

60 YEARS

Eldon Epley has been involved in archery since grade school. “My father was a professional hunter and helped feed the family by hunting, skinning and sending rabbits and squirrels to Omaha during the depression. While dad was hunting, mom and the five kids went out and gathered broken limbs and trees to buzz saw for fire wood in the old pot belly stove.

History! My brother and I had stick bows and baling twine strings. We learned fairly quick not to shoot a bow straight up to see how high it would go before it turned over and came back down with us running for cover.

I moved to Kansas City in the early 1960s and joined the archery club, learning a lot from Gene Town and other shooters there at the time. I was the first person to serve a two-year presidency under Benny Moore and the State of Kansas. I also worked with the Browning Archery Company and assisted Benny when he started the first indoor in Omaha. I can’t tell you how many kids learned

a little about archery with my help, and a lot still come by to talk and shoot at our range.

This is a great indoor range, heated, insulated and with an indoor bathroom right on Main Street in Litchfield. It was given to me by another old timer that liked to help kids.

My accomplishments include winning three Outdoor National tournaments as Barebow in 1994, 1995, and 1996 with my Browning Bow. 1996 was my first year of retirement from being a school superintendent for 20 years in Litchfield. I had much more time to practice that year, thus wore out my bow and got a new Browning bow that I only had 2 weeks to practice with before the tournament.

Luck Maybe!

My main love is hunting. I’ve been to Africa 5 times at 4 different locations and also New Zealand. I’m lucky enough to have harvested around 50 African animals including Sable, Wildebeest, Wort Hog, Bush Pig, Giraffe,

Along with these activities, my wife and daughter became very good archers. My wife was State Archery Champ in 90-91-92 and 94. Our daughter, Erika, was a State Youth Girls Champ in 90-91-92 and 93. I’ve taught several ‘Becoming an Outdoor Woman’ seminars. One of the participants became a very good hunter herself, and she took a turkey while pregnant. I was the first to receive the Outstanding Hunter Educator of 1994 by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, and the Chuck Saunders Memorial Award in 1995 for outstanding leadership in the sport.

programs and was a compound bow coach

“Archery has been an important part of my life since the age of seven. The only year I did not shoot my bow, I was serving as a Marine Corps Officer in ietnam. I have stayed involved in the sport for the last 65 years because of the good people I have met. My mom, dad and I would travel to shoots almost every Sunday. I have taken part in tournaments in six countries and 30 US states. In my opinion, the biggest change in the sport had to be the development of the compound bow. It has allowed seniors to keep shooting into their eighties and has enabled an increased number of women archers to enter the sport.

Some of my accomplishments include:

I have also had the joy of coaching JOAD

and the people who are part of it.”

NICHOLAS LAZAR

50 YEARS

I started shooting in the backyard in the summer of 1962- I was 10 years old. I was using a cheap fibe glass bow, 29 cent arrows painted green, and a round Saunders mat.

The next bow was more decent, a Hoyt Xpert. Like all Hoyt bows, it was beautiful wood with fibe glass lamination and had incredible craftsmanship. I also began shooting with fibe glass arrows… WOW, what an upgrade!

When I entered high school I attempted to start an archery club, but needed a teacher who would sponsor that. I met a biology teacher who enjoyed shooting and we became friends, he was about 10 years older than me. It look a couple of years (basically until my junior year) until things fina ly fell into place. There was about 20 members at that time. Interestly, that biology teacher and I reconnected about 5 years ago-still friends to this day and go ice fishing toge her.

As I continued shooting, I learned the art of string walking. Sights were pretty much looked down upon in the arena I was shooting. My brother invited me to a local shoot in New Jersey. There used to be 2 or 3 competitions on a Sunday throughout NJ from April to September. That’s when I joined the NFAA. After attending a few of those shoots during the summer, I competed in my firs NJ-SFAA (New Jersey State Field Archery Association) at the Square Circle Sportman’s Club in Southern NJ in August. I took 2nd Place in the Youth Division.

At that point, I joined the WA-XO-BE Archers, one of the oldest clubs in the NFAA and the state of New Jersey. Over the years, especially in the early/mid 1960’s, WA-XOBE had numerous national, sectional, and state champions.

The next month began my senior year in high school. I pushed the idea to have archery as a varsity sport. I made numerous calls over that year to arrange some competition with other schools and became successful. That year I also did another equipment upgrade. My first eal tournament bow was the WING Presentation II Takedown, and arrows 1913 XX75 Easton. As the year progressed, we competed throughout NJ and were invited to shoot a NAA

tournament in Pennsylvania. I didn’t do too well that weekend, but two of our members placed!

Along comes late May of 1969, and we were invited to shoot the high school state championship. We broke all of the team records and I won the state championship.

Did not know at the time, but my first wif was shooting from another school and took 6th place at that tournament and won her division the next year.

Not long after that, me and a few friends attended the 24th NFAA Outdoor National Championship in Watkins Glen, NY. What an experience! We did exceptionally well. One friend won the Youth Freestyle Division, and the other took 3rd. I placed 2nd in the Youth Barebow Division.

While in college, I purchased my Hoyt ProMedalist bow, custom made for me by Earl Hoyt. I had the honor of meeting him a few times! After college, I became President of the WA-XO-BE and the President of the NJ-SFAA for 4 years. I shot numerous National Championships at Aurora IL, Watkins Glen NY, and Clemson SC. I taught archery programs at three different high schools for over 11 years.

Due to family and employment, I stopped shooting for 20 years. I had the experience of having an office in he south tower of the World Trade Center and was there on 9/11.

I got out in time but was diagnosed with blood and bone cancer (Multiple Myeloma) five years ago. I went hrough long treatments and was in remission two years ago.

Because of what I went through, I realized something was missing that I used to enjoyarchery. I got back into shooting 3 years ago.

Guess what? Again shooting a Hoyt!

WILLIAM CISEK

50 YEARS

When I was a youngster my dad became interested in archery. As a result I became fascinated with bows and arrows. This fascination with archery stayed with me over time until my early thirties when I started participating in archery. My interest was, and still is today, the recurve bow. I have shot longbow, but, my love for shooting the recurve bow in the Traditional division captured my full time archery involvement.

I started shooting while living in Connecticut. Almost all of the events I shot were NFAA field rounds. Connecticut has hilly and rocky terrain formed from the glaciers. I just loved the field and hunter rounds for their shooting diversity and since this was my introduction to the NFAA and it has been a relationship that continues to this day.

Bill Wadsworth was touring states that showed an interest in the NFAA Bowhunter Education. I contacted Bill and with his assistance I was able to form the Connecticut Bowhunter Education Program (CBEP). In the beginning, there was no requirement in Connecticut at that time for mandatory Bowhunter education, so the entire CBEP was organized with volunteers. After a few years of successful CBEP operation, Connecticut adapted mandatory Bowhunter Education and so I later turned over the CBEP organization to the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection.

In general I was never too interested in shooting short indoor rounds. I found out early in my shooting career that I developed

target panic when shooting the same gap repeatedly in indoor rounds. A few years ago I learned about 3D shooting. Currently I live in Florida, and field round shooting is not prominent and 3D shooting has become an excellent replacement. In addition, at 81 years of age, shooting one arrow at each target requires less shooting stamina.

The one story dear to my heart is about my daughter Cynthia Graham (Cisek). In 1974 the NFAA and IFAA were hosting a joint National Field Championship at Jay Peak, Vermont. My daughter Cindy was a 14 year old shooting Barebow in the YFBB (Youth Female Barebow) division. She won both NFAA and IFAA and shot a world record animal round of 468 which still stands in the NFAA records.

Over the past 50 years, there have been numerous changes. The biggest change has been the advent and sophistication of the compound bow. Barebow over those years went from the primary shooting style to a poor cousin. However, I am also witnessing the resurgence of barebow in recent years.

To me, it is an exciting time in archery.

My advice to new shooters is- do not let your ambitions for national or international recognition burn out your desire and love of shooting. In 1987 I had won my second consecutive NFAA National Traditional Division Championship. When I got home I placed my equipment into a closet and never looked at it for 15 years. I had mentally burnt myself out with the years of practicing day in and day out towards the goal of winning the championship

ERNIE HERRINGTON

50 YEARS In 1948, at the age of eight, I took an interest in archery after I saw my first comi book: “Red Ryder” and his side kick “Little Beaver”. While most kids liked the rifle hat Red used, I fell in love with Little Beaver’s bow and birch bark quiver of arrows. I was hooked! I made myself a hand-crafted bow and arrow equipment, as only a small boy with no knowledge could create. I loved the cast/flight/a c of the arrow from the crude bow as I still do today. I saw my unauthorized visit to my father’s carpentry tool box for bow and string material, which later had some repercussions.

I have been a member of Jackson Archery Club since 1968 and served as a president or director of that club for 14 years. Through the decade of the 1970s and into the 1980s, I competed and prepared for competitions almost daily. I have not competed beyond the Southeast Sectionals because I had neither the time nor resources to travel in my best competitive years. I have remained an NFAA member all this time because of its purpose, prestige, direction and commitment to its powerful cause.

Although I have not competed in many years, I still, at age 78, love the burn of the muscles loading from the pull of straight or recurved bow from my collection.

Being an oldster now, I have seen changes in archery that I am still trying to come to terms with. I enjoyed shooting 560 point Field Rounds with the recurve bow, but the scoring changes and later the compound bow, brought about positive aspects such as rising interest, membership numbers, easier climbs up the ladder of success, etc.

But then, I’m just an “old fogie” as we say here in the south.

My advice for beginners is twofold. First, collect instruction including a properly fi ting bow, and second, patience with your practice. This can lead you to the pride in the NFAA, that may someday afford you the 50-year membership award.

Straight Arrow Bow Hunters and the Carr Fire Photos and Articles from Pam Severtson and Glen Pine July 23rd was the start of a nightmare for so many people in Shasta and Trinity County and many of us did not realize it would hit us like it did. What started as an RV trailer tire having a blow out on Hwy 299 near the Carr Powerhouse at Whiskeytown Lake, began the nightmare.

The “Carr Fire” led to evacuations of the small historic town of French Gulch.

A few of our club members live in this town, some evacuated and some did not. Those who did not, stayed at their homes and fought the fi e from within for 19 days straight, to some success.

Who would have ever thought that this beast would quickly move its way east towards Old Shasta, another historic town, but it did, by Thursday, July 26th.

As our Range Chairman, Glen Pine, and a couple other club members watched the smoke rise over the hills to the west, they decided to move the vehicles and the trailer to the grass area. Next thing you know, the beast is coming for a direct hit to the archery range…. needless to say, no other time to waste but to get out of there and fast, which is what they did.

As we sat and waited to determine what was lost, what was saved and where in the world do we go from here, it was excruciating, the not knowing. We were lucky to have an individual be able to go in and officia ly assess the situation on Friday. And, depending on your view, it was either a positive or a negative. We lost so much, but it could have been worse.

The barn with 95% of our 3d targets was gone….flat….down to he ground… the railway/con x boxes that housed the Rinehart walls, ice chests, water jugs, scene animals, etc….bulged out, ripped

the paint right off of the boxes and everything gone. The trailers for moving the animals around the range, bale compressor, excess lumber, tools, etc…. you get the picture, gone.

Yes, Bigfoot has been cremated. But, he will be rebuilt, like the Six Million Dollar Man (many of you young’uns won’t get this, but us older ones will). But, the elk herd was saved! The elk were in the raffle boo h, which was spared. The club house and a couple of the buildings nearby were spared. The warm up back wall and partial sides are gone.

For the “lower 14” only two targets were affected. Target #11 is completely gone, the carpet bale, shack and safety wall but for target #10 only the safety wall.

The rest of these on the lower 14 are good.

For the “upper 14”, where we shoot the upper Blind Draw Shoot, didn’t fair as well. The down hill target behind the range chairman’s spot is gone along with #24-#27. Carpet bales, shacks and safety walls.

Then, you get to the balance of the range. The Western Classic Trail Shoot targets, other than what was already mentioned, #25-#70 are pretty much gone, a couple here and there are okay, but we have a lot of rebuilding of back stops and safety walls to rebuild.

The shade structure at the winding bears and the Meadow Snack Shack made it….although the fi e went ALL around it, took out the bridges too, those are still standing. The Ridgetop and Bigfoot shacks are gone.

The amount of trees, LARGE and small, that are down is countless.

We have closed the range for any shooting as safety comes first. Once we clean up the range from the trees and debris, then we will be rebuilding the lower 14, the upper 14 and then the balance of the range. Ishi Archers in Red Bluff, has been kind to open their range to our members so they may continue shooting.

While some of the SAB Board toured the property on August 11th, the linemen were out there completing their job. We have the large towers that go through our property. They replaced them with steel towers instead of the wood poles.

In doing so, they had to replace the lines. If you haven’t seen yet, on our official SAB Facebook page, you wi l find the video that shows the danger that these linemen go through to get power back to everyone. It is a helicopter that pulls the line to the linemen on the towers, quite spectacular to see.

Randy Raglin of Raglin 3d’s has already received our order for animals and walls.

He has began the process of rebuilding.

It’ll be a job!

Last, but certainly not the least, it is very humbling to receive the outpouring of prayers and thoughts from all of you.

The amount of offers for assistance is overwhelming. So many of you have offered financial assistance, labor assistance and emotional assistance. We will be keeping everyone up to date on the progress and the upcoming work events on our Facebook page and on our calendar on our website.

Straight Arrow Bow Hunters will rebuild and we will make new memories from this tragic event. We are all #ArcheryStrong. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

BUTmighty SMALL

YANKTON, SD — Nearly two years have passed since Mount Marty College (MMC) launched a U.S. Collegiate Archery Association (USCAA) program on its main campus in Yankton, S.D. The team has made its home at the NFAA Easton Yankton Archery Center (NEYAC) since it began as a club sport in 2011. In 2016 they graduated to varsity status in 2016 and have been growing ever since.

Small but mighty is how head coach Josahan Jaime-Santacruz describes her team which started with a single varsity archer. “We started with one archer, and even in that first year we found success at several regional events,” said JaimeSantacruz. “Since then we’ve grown to 13 student-athletes and four bow divisions — compound, bowhunter, olympic recurve and barebow.”

The Lancers have seen tremendous success accompany this growth. In the last year, the team has attained 20 podium placements at regional championships and seven podium placements in national championship competitions.

McKenna Cooley, an olympic recurve archer from Henderson, N.V. has seen her share of success. She holds the championship title for both the 2018 Collegiate Indoor National Championship and the 2018 NFAA Outdoor Target National Championship tournaments. Cooley says her involvement in collegiate archery is paying dividends.

“My favorite thing about being on the Mount Marty archery team is all the friendships I’ve made with my teammates over the last year.” The sophomore English major adds that her participation in collegiate archery is providing her with something even more important, “Archery has taught me leadership skills, compromise, and patience.”

Cooley’s success and that of her teammates springs forth from natural talent but is also nurtured by a top-notch coaching staff and world-class training facility.

Mount Marty College sees tremendous growth and success following launch of collegiate program The Lancers train and often compete at the NEYAC. The 100-acre facility, which is a short six-minute drive from the MMC campus, is the largest of its kind in the world and serves as the headquarters of the National Field Archery Association.

The archery center boasts a first-of-its-kin indoor archery range where the Lancer archers can shoot a full 90 meters — about the length of a football field — in a climatecontrolled indoor environment that’s ideal for year-round practice and competition.

The center also includes two 90 meter outdoor ranges with grass fields, hree outdoor field courses to accommodate a l three NFAA field ounds and a 3-D range with 44 animal-shaped foam targets shot from an elevated platform.

The Lancers are also fortunate to have a coaching staff that is well seasoned.

The team’s head coach, Josahan JaimeSantacruz, has been involved in archery for more than 20 years as a competitive compound archer. After graduating from Texas A&M, where she was a collegiate archer and a three-time All-American

athlete, Jaime-Santacruz started a career that is centered on archery. For eight years she managed Robin Hood Archery in Indio, C.A. and began her coaching career at the local JOAD program. Later, she became the assistant program director for archery at the Athletic Institute of Baja California, Mexico supervising international archery camps and eventually became the archery coaching development coordinator for the organization. Before joining the team at NEYAC, she was a member of USA Archery’s Junior Dream Team coaching staff.

Anne Abernathy joined the Lancer coaching staff as assistant coach in 2018.

Abernathy is an internationally trained coach from St. Thomas, Virgin Islands.

Abernathy has attended World Archery & World Archery America’s coaching clinics in Puerto Rico, Colombia, and Chile. As a competitor, she’s participated in numerous WA World Cups, world ranking events, world and continental championships, and the Central American and Caribbean Games with multiple top-ten finishes Abernathy is the current VI Champion and Americas Masters Champion as well as the National State Games of America Champion and is in training to compete in

the 2020 Summer Olympics. Coach Anne is no stranger to elite competition; she is a six-time Winter Olympic athlete in the sport of luge, the first a hlete in Olympic history achieve such a feat. Coach Anne was recognized by the Women’s Sports Foundation as one of the top 100 female athletes and was nominated twice for the International Olympic Committee Women in Sports Award.

held since archery program was being developed. “Ultimately, our goal was to offer a pathway for young archers who want to use archery as a means to get a quality education; we provide them with four years of instruction and personal growth, and then we hope they continue on to their professional careers as stewards of the sport and proud MMC alumni with unique resumes.”

With an exceptional training facility, outstanding leadership, and a successful year of competition under their belt it seems like the Lancers are on top of the collegiate archery game, but coach JaimeSantacruz foresees success that extends beyond college level archery and perhaps archery altogether.

Jaime-Santacruz feels that goal is coming to fruition as she reflects on 13 individuals who came from various parts of the country but have now come together as a team. “I’ve seen tremendous growth in each of our archers over the last year, not just as athletes, but also as individuals and team members,” says Jaime-Santacruz. “They care about each other’s success, not just as athletes, but also as people; it’s been fantastic to watch, and makes me eager to see what the future holds for Mount Marty archery.”

“MMC’s archers aren’t just competing and winning in collegiate tournaments, they’re also competing at national open tournaments where they’ve shot against adult archers who have many years of experience- and they’ve done well!”

Jaime-Santacruz believes that success speaks to the quality of the archers choosing to continue their competitive archery career at Mount Marty, but also to the college’s loftiest goal which it’s

relaxed AIMING On one occasion, I was shooting a 3-D course with a couple of friends and we were faced with a very challenging shot.

The target was a 42-yard black bear nestled in dark brush. Due to the sunlight in our faces, it was very difficu t to see the bear, let alone make out the vitals. Once we drew the bow and looked through the peep, it nearly disappeared. I shot first an heard the friendly sound of foam. The next two archers were not as fortunate.

When we arrived at the target, I discovered that I had scored a solid 10.

One of the archers asked, “How did you do that? I couldn’t even see the target when I looked through my peep.”

My reply was, “I started aiming before I drew my bow and you started after you looked through the peep. Once you look through the peep some visibility was lost because less reflected ight was entering your eye.”

The aiming finishes after add essing the target. You should pick out the exact spot that you want your arrow to hit. Your primary vision should remain on that spot until after the arrow has made contact.

After selecting your aiming point, place your pin on it and then draw your bow.

Keep your primary vision on that point and your secondary vision on the pin. The pin will automatically move to the desired aiming point. If you cannot place your pin on the target and draw the bow, I would guess that you are pulling more pounds than you can handle.

Once you are at full draw and looking through the peep, you must relax all muscles except those needed to execute the shot. If the unnecessary muscles remain tightened, you will see jerky pin movement. Place a pencil in your bow hand and extend it to arm’s length. Then, tighten all the muscles in that arm and aim the pencil at an object in the distance. You should observe jerky pin movement; and the longer that you hold it, the worse it gets. Now, try it again but relax all muscles except those needed to hold and aim the pencil. You should observe less movement and the movement that is present should be a slow floa ing motion. The top archers have learned or been taught to relax certain muscles that were required to draw the bow and then to use other muscles to execute the back pressure. This presents

them with a sight picture with minimal pin movement.

When you reach a relaxed full draw and start the back pressure part of the shot execution, nearly all of the sight movement will disappear. If you are holding too many pounds or you have held the bow for too long of a period, your body and mind will say, “Hurry up and get the shot off!” At this point, one of two things can happen. You rush the shot execution and have questionable results or you let down and start over. The choice is very obvious.

It is very important that an archer remains relaxed during the final stages of he shot in order to minimize pin movement. If the best that you can do is to allow the pin to float in a sma l circle, then that is the type of shot you will have to take.

Do not tighten unnecessary muscles to try to reduce the pin movement. These extra tight muscles will cause unwanted bow movement as the arrow leaves.

The addition of tightened muscles will affect the reaction of the bow and the impact point of the arrow. Strength is

By Terry Wunderle not a determining factor in aiming. Only shoot the draw weight that you can aim comfortably. Being in good physical condition with good muscle tone is very helpful in reducing pin movement.

The last stage of aiming is the moment during and after the arrow leaves the bow. The primary vision of the archer must remain on the target and the head should not move. Too many people raise their heads to watch the arrow. When this happens, you will also move the bow arm and cause a bad shot. If you continue to focus on the 10 ring, the odds are much greater that your arrow will appear in it. The main trick to aiming is to relax and minimize pin movement. Hold the pin as close to the desired impact point as possible and execute a shot with consistent form.
