THE ART OF ARCHE CONVENTIONAL WIS JEM THE NEW MATH

r1 - 1

m' JsL ■

“

Every school kid can add 1+1. And every archer knows that two individual cams must roll over to"the valley" in perfect synch to give you a correct shot solution. This is called Conventional Wisdom. Problem is, like the New Mathematics, the OneCam Revolution makes old Conventional Wisdom out-of-date! OneCam bows like the Bear Super Strike are powered by a unique, machined dual-feed single cam on the bottom limb and a simple balance wheel on the top limb. You always get smooth, balanced shooting solutions because there is just one cam. There is no need for timing cams or synchronizing them in "the valley." OneCam bows eliminate all cam tuning, timing and synchronizing problems. With only one working cam, the Super Strike is exceptionally smooth and very fast, but above all, it sets a new standard for consistency. It is the future of archery. Even equipped with conventional two-cam rigging, the Super Strike would be a remarkable bow. A versatile "shooter conscious" Performance + Handle. Extraordinarily powerful carbon/glass limbs. Dynamic all-synthetic Techna strings and cables. Try a Super Strike with the revolutionary OneCam shooting system at a dealer near you. It can put you OneUp on your competition because the OneCam destroys Conventional Wisdom. You will come away with a new understanding of 1+1.

SaeMe Cassels Our OneCam believer took the prestigious BuckMaster Classic. In the IBO World, he and his wife, Kathy, placed 4th while their son, Shannon, , 4^+xxfx O+■+. r____ l|y® took 2nd. Quite a family!

"Facing heat, wind and a reigning champion, a world record NEVER crossed my mind.” t the recent FITA World Target Championships in Antalya, Turkey, Korean archer Park,

Kyung-Mo faced two problems during the new Olympic Round: unfavorable weather

and a highly favored opponent. But he had confidence in himself and his Easton A/C/E shafts. “Against 90 degree heat, a steady breeze and former World Champion Stanislav Zabrodsky, I knew

I’d have to be nea rly perfect during this semi-linal match. At 70 meters, the target seemed to be the size of a coin. My first two shots found the ten

ring; my third shot, a nine. But it was to be

my last nine. Every other

Easton A/C/E struck its mark, and I scored 119 points out of 120 possible — a new world record. And with a new world record behind me, 1 went on to take first in the gold medal round. It was unbelievable.

But then again, I had put in the practice.

And I had my Easton A/C/E arrows.

The A/C/E. The only arrow I count on for record setting speed and accuracy." - Park, Kyung-Mo

President's Corner by Ken Rogers - President, NFAA

Nearly 500 archers enjoyed the scenery, weather and friendliness associated with the 49th Annual NFAA Outdoor Championship at Darrington. Washington. This was my first trip to Darrington and. even though I had heard and read of the previous nationals held at this site. I was still not prepared for an event that was a total community effort. You can find friendly folks everywhere you go. but to find an unfriendly one in Darrington would take more time than we were allowed and then would probably end up being an outsider. Having been bom and raised in the Pacific Northwest, this trip was a real battery charger for me - a trip too long overdue. From Darrington and the NFAA Nationals to Oxford, Ohio, and the NAA Nationals was just a day's trip but like stepping into another world. It has been a long time since I have seen so many recurves as were there. The long line of multicolored targets and the shooters in white stood in sharp contrast to the Field Championship 1 had just left. However,

there were a large number of compound shooters also competing. There were quite a number of foreign countries represented including teams from Korea. Mexico and Taiwan to name only a few. The Crossbows competed on a separate field. My purpose in attending this event was to sit in on the NAA annual membership meeting to get a first hand feeling for how the NAA would handle the open ended parts of our NFAA/NAA agreement. During the meeting, no mention of the agreement was made beyond the fact that it had been accomplished. One or two minor questions concerning the challenge phase were answered by Acting President Tom Stevenson. The NAA will apparently send out ballots to its entire membership during the August-September time frame. We should be aware of the results soon after. Although we are disappointed that this piece of business was not completed at the membership meeting - we remain optimistic the NAA response will be similar to ours.

Our NFAA Representative to the Board of Governors. Paul Double, and I were present in the NFAA booth where we talked with many of the shooters about the agreement and our expectations on this and other subjects related to our involvement with the NAA. We heard no negative comments and were gratified with the interest and acceptance. It seems the opinion is that this involvement is long overdue and is seen as a win-win situation. We had the opportunity to meet and talk with many of the NGB Board Members and found them to be very interested in the future of our relationship and its possible effect on archery as a whole. All things being considered, it is our opinion that the trip was well worth the effort. Archers everywhere are just that - Archers! A bit of sad news. Bob Smith has resigned as President of the NAA. Due to severe health problems which have left him with extremely limited free time, he felt that he could not properly attend to his NAA duties and stepped down. He currently remains as a member of the Board. We hope that he will remain in that position as his expertise and leadership are sorely needed. Mr. Tom Stevenson, current Vice President - now acting President- will assume the duties as President of the NAA in the coming months. With the NFAA national tournaments all completed for 1994 we look forward to 1995. There are still a number of Sectional. State and Club activities left on your calendar - don’t miss them.

DIRECTOR'S RULING: I am therefore ruling that dipping arrows in powder is illegal while competing in the Barebow, Bowhunter, Bowhunter Freestyle, Bowhunter Freestyle Limited and the Traditional styles of shooting.

RIC RULING: The RIC agrees with the Director that it is illegal to dip arrows into powder while competing in the NFAA styles of shooting mentioned in the director's ruling.

RIC94-4 "According to Art. II. Sec.F, para 5, p. 45: 'Pinguards will be allowed in this style of shooting providing there are no marks or blemishes which can be used for sighting purposes."

RIC DESCRIPTION: A detailed letter complete with sketches totaling five pages was submitted to the RIC. The following is a verbal summary of a pinguard being used under our current rules: The existing pin guard is removed from the sight bar. A pin is sighted in at 20 yards. Another pin is sighted in at 80 yards. The positions of the 20 and 80 yard pins are marked on the

sight bar and then removed from the sight bar. The two pins used to sight in at 20 and 80 are then cut off just in front of the block that mounts them on to the sight bar. This pin block is then drilled out to a diameter that will accept the pin guard in the end where the pin was cut off. On the side of the block a small hole is drilled and tapped for a set screw to hold the pin guard when it is inserted into the drilled hole. The two blocks are now placed back into the positions marked for the 20 and 80 yard distances. A heavy fishing wire of about 135 pounds, or the equivalent, is now bent to form a pin guard and inserted into the 20 and 80 yard predrilled blocks and the set screws are tightened to hold it in place. The pin guard is not marked and has no blemishes. Put your 5 pins back on the sight, sight them in to 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 yards and you have your distances marked in ten yard increments from 20 through 80 yards.

DIRECTOR’S RULING: "The attached example, no matter how it came about, has no marks or blemishes and looks like a regular bowhunting pin sight and guard. Therefore, I have ruled this sight legal."

RIC RULING: Based on the current written word in Art.II, Sec.F, para.5. page 45. the RIC concurs with the Director's ruling that this sight would be legal.

... of the NFAA By John Slack, Past NFAA President Continuing with then NFAA Secretary, John Yount’s 1954 account of the formation of the NFAA: "After receiving the official green light from the NAA a letter, part of which follows, was sent to all who might be interested in Field Archery. " "After months of consideration the NAA committee on Field Archery gave a report, the substance of which was that Field Archery should be organized by field archers, with the NAA acting only as a good friend. "The first thing we need is more field archers. The next is something concrete and definite to build upon - something of year around interest and of equal importance in all states. To reach a possible solution to these questions let us compare archery to a road, a very wide road. Yet strange to say, one with only the extreme outer edges being used. "The one side has been well paved and kept in perfect condition for the past 59 years by the NAA. It is the highway of target archery, a dignified sport of whistles, silence, gadgets and precision. We say this not in derision but as simple statement of facts. Those are the things that make the game, and we would be the last to have them changed. "On the opposite side of the road we have field archery as at present shot. Strictly speaking, it is not a game. It has no rounds and consequently no rules or regulations. Its adherents shoot a bow for the sheer delight of seeing the arrows fly. To those who can see no fun in this sort of thing, I can only say that they arc missing some of the finest fun in the world, and 1 am confident in my belief that it would do their souls a lot of good to climb down off their dignity once in a while and do a little old fashioned field shooting. "Now that we have covered the two sides of the road, let's see what possibilities there are in the middle. How about the majority of the American public who happen to be between thus two groups? They are playing some other game, not because they are not fascinated by the bow, but because there is no archery game to their liking. Field archery offers the informality but not the game, while target offers the game, but one with too much

formality The answer should be some completely new games based on instinctive shooting. Games complete within themselves, games suitable for permanent courses and national competition. "If such middle-of-the-road games can be made the means of multiplying the number of instinctive shots, we will have succeeded in greatly increasing the number of archery hunters. For that reason such games can well be made the nucleus upon which a Field Association can be built." The temporary constitution that accompanied this contained the following:

"ARTICLE II (From temporary constitution of 1939)

Purposes: For those field style archers to whom target archery has little to offer, yet to whom no sport can be complete that lacks well regulated competitive events, this association has been formed. Its purpose shall be:

1. To develop rounds and regulations for competitive field style, or instinctive shooting; to conduct championship tournaments using these rounds; and. in general, to do all possible to promote the field style, or instinctive shooting. In doing these things we shall not set our game up as being superior to other forms of archery, but rather as a complement thereto, and try at all times to work harmoniously with other organizations in presenting the grand game of archery to the American public."

This all happened in 1939, and by the end of the year we had organizations in Washington, Oregon. New Jersey, Arizona and California, and a scattering of members from Illinois. Ohio, Virginia. Michigan, New York, Minnesota, Kansas, Indiana, Pennsylvania. Missouri and Texas. There were quite a number of fly-by-night courses and a lew permanent ones. During the summer a number of field tournaments were held, some in states that still refused to admit the NFAA existed. In some of

these tournaments the scores were quite presentable even by today's standards. (1954) Probably the best was a 310 score shot by Harry Glover of Oakland, California, while Southern California boys were consistently shooting between 250 and 275. All these are 28-target scores." (Note: remember this was a time of unmarked ranges and instinctive shooting styles.) Did any of the above sound familiar? How about today's efforts to make 3-D shoots creditable? It seems to me in reading John Yount's article that history does have a way of repeating itself. In the next issue John Yount gets farther into the problems of trying to untie the NFAA from the NAA and unifying field archery.

KOREAN ARCHERY TRAINING METHODS As many of you are aware. Korean archers continue to make their mark as supreme archery competitors in World FITA and Olympic competition. Recently, at the FITA World Target Championship, held in Antalya. Turkey, top Korean archer Park Kyung Mo, won the Men's World title and set a new world record for the NOR pass posting a new high score record of 119 out of a possible 120 points. For clarity of understanding, the talented aforementioned archer from Korea shot eleven of his twelve arrows into the center of the ten-ring from the distance of 70 meters during the shoot-off for the

Championship. Comparatively speaking, 70 meters equates to approximately 78 yards using our measurement system. The ten-ring is 12.2 cm - less than 5 inches! Yes, this is truly a remarkable and almost superhuman accomplishment that can be appreciated by archers from all walks of archery. Well now. what makes these archers so good. Is it their training methods or is it due to their superior coaching and determination? In an effort to best understand what makes Korean archers so good, we present an outline of their training methods for your review and evaluation.

In Korea, instructors require a minimum of six months to teach archery to beginners. The initial learning period is important. It is believed that beginners learn best when they are young. In this manner, they do not develop any bad habits. Most importantly, they start by making beginners practice the basic archery fundamentals WITHOUT A BOW! This is done many times for a minimum of a two week period. Their training format follows:

TRAINING FORMAT First Four Weeks Requirements: No bow/empty hand I. (a) Practice assuming grip. (b) Practice proper positioning at shoulder. Try to lift complete arm up in one motion while keeping scapula of bow arm (shoulder blade) down in place. ii. Requirement: Use of rubber tube to practice pulling. (a) Students practice pulling to develop back muscles. (b) The resistance or pull is gradually increased. (c) Careful observation is made to make sure position of bow shoulder is in down position. Two Month Period III. Requirements - Weak bow (16# to 18#) and no arrow. (a) Student is allowed to practice with bow and no arrow. This allows student to learn proper FORM and positioning of proper bow arm shoulder while drawing. (b) Coaches make sure students are using good back tension and are keeping the back of drawing hand relaxed at full draw. (c) Examination of proper hooking of fingers is made at this time. Weeks 13-14 (a) Students learn to nock arrow without clicker. (Continued on next page)

Antelope steaks Italian dressing or red wine Melted butter 1) Defrost 1" thick steaks and trim off all fat. Soak overnight in your favorite Italian seasoning or soak in red wine for 30 minutes prior to broiling. Drain off salad dressing or wine and spread melted butter onto steaks. 2) Broil steaks over charcoal fire turning and basting with more melted butter 3) until done to your liking. Note: You may salt and pepper steaks prior to broiling if you desire.

Potted Antelope Steaks As the antelope season is quickly bearing down upon us, I thought it would be wise to include a couple of our favorite antelope recipes for your trial and enjoyment. Of course, you can substitute deer or elk for these favorite recipes as most fleet footed animals are similar in flavor and texture of the meat. Sure hope we manage to bag an antelope this season. Making jerky is another tasty choice for any abundance of game meat or left over freezer fare. Let's see what can be done with antelope for you and your guests!

1 tsp. each of salt and pepper 1 tsp. dry mustard powder Milk 1/2 Cup sliced or diced onions 1/2 Cup celery Using a wooden mallet, pound flour mixture into steak to which has been added salt, pepper and dry mustard powder. Place floured steak into dutch oven and brown in hot fat or margarine. Add enough milk to cover steak. Next, add onions and chopped celery and simmer covered for two hours. Thicken gravy with flour to thickness desired. Good eatin' and good hunting!

ANSWERS (Continuedfrom page 16) without clicker. (b) No shooting is permitted at this point. Weeks 15-16 Requirements - Same (a) Training program continues allowing student to nock and place arrow under clicker. (b) No shooting is permitted up to this point. After this period archers are finally taught to shoot correctly and permitted to physically shoot arrows at the target. By not allowing archers to shoot from the beginning, students learn to feel their bodies and thus, learn proper shooting form. In this manner, new shooters are not concerned where the arrow hits and can concentrate on learning good solid shooting form. Most beginning shooters have the same problem. Many raise the bow/arm shoulder and pull with the bow/arm elbow in a low position.

It has been repeatedly stated and acknowledged that most archers merely practice their mistakes over and over again and that very few beginning archers make a study of archery before ever pulling or shooting a bow. American archery is crammed

full of self-taught archers that fail to realize the importance of learning to shoot correctly under the watchful eyes of a competent coach and instructor. FORM, as applied to any given sport is defined as "the way or manner of doing something that requires skill." As practicing archers, we readily recognize that archery FORM is never a set pattern but instead a varying constant that changes from individual to individual. In essence, shooting FORM can be more accurately described as the logical application of formal principles that we use and apply with exacting repetition to execute the shot. Consequently, certain shooting form is good, and other is not so good. Whether we are doing "it right or wrong, most of us are aware that good sound shooting FORM produces good scores. Most will concur that the less motion we experience while aiming, coupled with good shooting FORM, produces higher scores providing that the archer tries to perform as machinelike as humanly possible. Accordingly, we must be willing to aim and follow-through with a minimum of bow arm/hand movement as the release occurs or miss because of lack of proper shooting FORM. , .. . Remember, aiming, exacting repetition, dedication and discipline comprise proper shooting FORM and are the key to all good shooting and higher scores. Archery

nThe 49th NFAA Championships were dedicated to the founder of the Darrington Archers. Marv Kastning. His vision, effort and enthusiasm brought the small community of Darrington. Washington, together for the first Nationals in 1982. Five Nationals later Marv decided to step aside and let Mike Cabe take over carrying on the tradition of hosting the field Nationals in the western part of the U.S. No community has shown this much support and cooperation to get a project as extensive as this accomplished. Four hundred sixty seven competitors snaked down the two lane road with some places under construction past the towering pines and the lush green pastures. Welcome signs were out all over town. At the end of the week the champions left the little lumber town of Darrington where they may have stayed at a bed and ,breakfast. . ........ They may not think about Darrington again until 1997. But Carolyn and Lonny Elder will think about it every year because Saturday evening before the tournament they exchanged wedding vows in front of their archery friends on the football field. The community put on the barbecue and had live music to give the archers a chance to socialize and renew acquaintances. Dennis M. Carpenter, Public Relations Director. Washington State Archery Association and Managing Editor of The Quiver (the publication about Northwestern Archery) had these comments: "It takes more than just "good old desire" to produce a National Field Archery Championship. Darrington Archers in Washington State with its latest success has now hosted five Nationals plus one World Championship. This is a feat only surpassed by two other clubs in the 49 year history of NFAA Nationals. Mike Cabe,

president of the Darrington Archers and his small enthusiastic club could never pull this gargantuan task off if it did not have the support of the citizens of Darrington and other clubs in the state. However, no matter how much support they receive, without the dedication of the front line club worker the Nationals would fail. Darrington Archers are to be congratulated for a rich history of success." Sunday afternoon everyone was checked in. the Trade Show was open, and opening ceremonies were held on the football field. After the opening ceremonies a Pro-Am Shoot was held with the following teams winning. PRO-AM TEAM SHOOT WOMEN Becky Pearson/Suzanne Miller Joanne Tucker/Debbie Lane 3.

Monday morning the Community Center opened for breakfast at 5 a.m. and every shooting day thereafter. Everyday scorecards were picked up by 8:00 a.m. and shooting began at 8:30 a.m. The shooting schedule was 28 field targets Monday and Wednesday, 28 hunter targets on Tuesday and Thursday, and 28 animal targets on Friday for a perfect score of 2800 points. I have to admit I don't know much about our Cub archers but I can say they are as serious as the adults when it comes to putting arrows in the bullseye. Our division gold medal winners all shot over 2,000 points and came from as far away as New York. They were Tina Handley (CA), Joey Rozmus HI (NY) and Paul Herschell (OR). Our junior gold medalist was Derrick Mason of Idaho. Derrick set all new records in the FITA Olympic Style. Youth champions came from as far away as New York and West Virginia. Our youth champions were Jimmy Dodson III (WV), Naomi Bulkley (OR), Tom Newkirk (NYthat name sounds familiar-dad only got a

bronze), Anna Johnson (CA) and Darrin Spoden (MN). Darrin set two new records in the field of 1063 and a sizzling 558 in the animal. Stepping up to the young adult division we find more fine champions. S. Anderson (WA) set a new record of a perfect 560 point. Gold medalists were Jenny Sands (VT), Jon Reali (WA), Lori Dodson (WV) and Terry Holzmer (MN). Again we had families bringing their archers from across the U.S. I spoke to Jenny Sand's father who stopped by to tell me about Jenny's accomplishments. The top places in each division are listed on the following pages. I suppose you are wondering if the newlyweds shot very well or what happened in the adult and senior divisions. This sport has a place for everyone. Carolyn (Phillips) Elder (WA) won her 4th National Field Championship in the professional freestyle limited class but Lonny could only come up with a tie for third in the senior division. Steve Gibbs (IL) won his second National Field title in the men’s

professional freestyle limited division with a 50 point lead over Jimmy Low III (CA). The professional freestyle titles went to Nancy Zorn (IL) and Mike Leiter (MD). This was Nancy’s second title and Mike's 6th National Field Championship title. Shortly after the NFAA Nationals both champions attended the FITA World Field Championship in Vertut, France where Mike won a bronze medal. Almost 100 NFAA Outdoor Nationals Records were set, tied or broken. All the senior records arc new. Old pros, now turned seniors, such as Jim Pickering (UT), Lou Rangel (UT), Jim McDonald (OK), Jim Revis (OK), Frank Smith (CA), Howard Beeson (AL), Eldon Epley (NE) and Boni Rose (UT) put some fine records in the book. The most outstanding adult records set v.._z, .Angela „ were by Cay McManus (VA), McCubbins (OR), Dianne Owens (OR), D. Eatmon and Bob Burns (CA) who practically rewrote the record book. Bob also represented the U.S. in Vertut, France, and won the silver medal. (Continued on page 37)

THE ETHICS OF THE HUNT

Hunters have experienced cases where the public has stepped in and put an end to certain hunting seasons and practices. In most cases, these challenges have addressed what is fair chase and what is not.

For the fifth straight year, conservation clubs nationwide are demonstrating their rock-solid commitment to wildlife by participating in the 1994 Protect What's Right Conservation Sweepstakes ticket sales program. And that commitment to conservation is matched by General Motors Chevrolet Truck Division which is once again donating the sweepstakes grand prize - a 1995 S-Series Pickup. Continuing through November 30, the sweepstakes raises funds to get the conservation facts out to the public through the Wildlife Legislative Fund of America's grassroots Protect What's Right education program. The program outfits sportsmen's conservation groups nationwide with materials and displays to educate the public about wildlife conservation. "The nation's sportsmen have demonstrated their commitment to conservation for nearly a century,” said WLFA Executive Director Rick Story.

"And in the spirit of the trucks it builds, Chevy - and all of our sponsors - have stood 'like a rock' behind our conservation education movement. "Like the American sportsman, the folks who have contributed prizes for the sweepstakes are leaders by example." The grand prize Chevy S-Series Pickup has the options sportsmen prefer, including a 4.3-liter V 6 engine, bucket seats, AM/ FM stereo cassette system, air conditioning and cast-aluminium wheels. Story said that Chevrolet is joined by other national sponsors - including Federal Cartridge Co.. Lyman Products Corp.. Magnum Research Inc., Smith & Wesson, Marlin Firearms Co., O. F. Mossberg & Sons Inc.. Taurus Firearms and Winchester Ammunition - who share in the commitment to conservation. In all, 51 companies have donated more than 150 sweepstakes prizes such as hunting and fishing trips, guns, archery gear, binoculars, rifle scopes and catalog shopping sprees. Story added that the Protect What's Right Conservation Sweepstakes also offers Ohio sportsmen the opportunity to raise up to S500.000 to restore and enhance Ohio wetlands through an Ohio-only version of the sweepstakes. Monies resulting from that version known as the Ohio Plan - plus matching monies from the Ohio Division of Wildlife, state and national sportsmen's groups, the U. S.

Atwood's Laws of Groups When shooting between slow and fast groups, the fast group will always be behind you.

BOWHUNTING DANGEROUS GAME IN ZIMBABWE

THE KIT'1 PATENT PENDING

by Neil Summers In years past there were only a handful of people in the world who had had the opportunity to pursue Africa's dangerous game (Lion. Leopard. Buffalo. Elephant. Rhino) with archery tackle. There were a number of reasons why this is so but put very simply there has just been a lack of opportunity. This situation is changing. In Zimbabwe the existing policy on bowhunting, which provides for plains game on private land, has now been expanded to the issuance of special permits for some of the dangerous game species. Late last year Neil Summers of Bowhunting Safari Consultants was issued a special permit for buffalo, pictured here with his trophy bull. The bull was taken with a single arrow. Neil inserted a 1916 into a 2219 to get the weight up to 1025 grains when tipped with the Zwickey head. The 90 lb. Oregon bow delivered the knock out punch. It is expected that Zimbabwe National Parks & Wildlife will continue to take the matter under advisement with input from the Zimbabwe Bowhunters & Bushcrafters Association. At this writing more than a dozen of these special permits have been issued to bowhunters for 1994. Where opportunity limited participation in the past, a new day is dawning. Through the efforts of Safari Club International (SCI). National Bowhunter Education Foundation (NBEF), World Bowhunting Association (WBA) and a group of dedicated individuals, all of whom believe in expanding opportunity for our sport, the doors are now beginning to open. What may have been a dream for many of us in the past can now be a reality. NBEF has produced a special booklet as part of their Hunter Responsibility series entitled "Bowhunting Africa's Dangerous Game" and it is available by sending $9.95 to N.B.E.F.. P. O. Box 2007. Fond du Lac. WI 54936. For information about how to acquire permits or which operators offer qualified bowhunts for dangerous game, contact Neil Summers at Bowhunting Safari Consultants. P. O.

NEW VEGAS TOP GUN SERIES

by Norm Mallonee It eventually happens to all archers. Whether you are a backyard recreational archer, hunter, tournament competitor or an operator of an indoor archery range, you sometimes get bored with shooting the standard "bulls-eye" target faces. Don't misunderstand me, sure there will always be a necessity to shoot the conventional target faces for leagues, competitions and practice, but all archers of all levels of proficiency will find it a welcome change of pace to occasionally shoot at "novelty" targets. As an archery coach, I encourage all my shooters to augment their practice routine with "fun" shooting. Just as the hunter occasionally walks through the forest with a handful of practice arrows and "stump shoots" to hone his distance judgement skills, I believe it is beneficial for both hunters and target archer to refine their aiming by shooting at two-dimensional target games. It seems to provide both a pleasant change of pace, and a renewed enthusiasm for all archers. A great new novelty target system has recently become available. (Notice I said "target system".) This target system is being marketed by N.B.B. (an acronym for Nothing But the Best) and incorporates Shooter™ - Post-it™ - Targets. (A registered trademark of 3-M Products). The N.B.B. people have cleverly invented a new application for something that we have all learned to view as a necessity of convenience in our lives at the office and at home. You know the low-tack POST-IT™ note pads you have found so many uses for in recent years? Well, envision these easy to apply, easy to remove pieces of paper with a beer bottle, a beer can, or (my personal favorite) a rat printed on it. N.B.B. has done exactly this! They call these target Shooters™ selfadhesive targets, and offer them in pads of 25 sheets. N.B.B. has introduced two Shooterama™ kits. Each kit contains a 24" x 36" black and white background scene, and a pad of Shooters™ self-adhesive targets. The first target background scene is called back alley and comes with a pad of either rats or beer cans. The second background scene is the bar room which comes with a pad of cither beer cans or beer bottles. The archer can use his imagination and place the removable self-adhesive rats, can or bottles in different places on the background scene. And, of course these Shooter™ target’s placement can be changed thus creating a new scene, and a new challenge. The rats are printed on five-inch oval- shaped, electric green, self-adhesive stock. The beer cans arc printed on neon pink diccut 3" x 5" self-adhesive stock, and the beer bottles are printed on 3" x 8" hunter orange self-adhesive stock. At first glance these Shooters™ did not seem challenging enough for the "hot-shot" shooters I had invited to test shoot the two scenes I had created, so we tried placing small sized orange dots on thcShooters™. It was quickly decided that it was a very demanding target, and challenging enough for even the best target archer.

We may have had the lowest attendance since 1968 but they were high caliber archers and fine champions. Congratulations to all of you! See you in 1995 at the 50th National Field Archery Championship. Mr. Frank Scott of Bear Archery shot the first National in Allegan, Michigan, in 1946. He will be shooting in Wausaw. Did you shoot in the first National? Are you going to attend the 50th? Frank Scott wants to know. Please write him at the Bear Archery Museum, 4600 SW 41st BlvdGainesville, FL 32608-4999. NFAA Outdoor National Results ( Continued from page 23)

Sectional Report SOUTHWEST By Frank Ellis Our Southwest Outdoor Sectional shoot that was just held in Las Vegas, was not very' well attended. We only had a total of 77 shooters. This was the least amount of shooters that we have had in the past 21 years! So, in order to try to get this to turn around for next year, we are going to get the word out to all of you people in our Section as to where and when all of our Sectional shoots will be held next year. Those of you that would like to attend will have plenty of time to plan your trips. But most importantly, we will be getting the dates out to all of our Clubs so they won't schedule any shoots on these dates. We aren't sure, but the majority of the Directors seem to think that this is the major problem causing low turnout for our Sectional shoots. First: The Directors voted to go back to a nine day time span for our Indoor next year. Your Club can schedule your shoot any time between Friday evening the 3rd of March and Sunday evening the 11 th of March. As in the past, you all will be receiving more information in the mail around the first of January and details will also be in the January/February issue of ARCHERY. This shoot will again be 100% mail in. Second: Our Outdoor next year will be hosted by the Nevada Sportsman Club of Nevada City, CA. This club is located in the Sierra foothills, about 45 miles out of Sacramento, CA. The total range is in the timber and it should be a great shoot. We have scheduled this shoot for June 17th and 18th. Watch ARCHERY Magazine for more information. Third: We will again have a Sectional 3-D shoot, this year the turnout was only 57. As in the past, until these shoots develop enough interest to warrant

National support, it will be hosted and run by the State Association and the hosting club. Next year it will be held in Gallop. NM. The dates for this shoot are June 24th and 25th. Again, watch the Southwest news section of ARCHERY Magazine for more information on this shoot! PLEASE, STATE ASSOCIATIONS AND LOCAL CLUBS, DON'T SCHEDULE SHOOTS ON THESE DATES!

Is It

Not any longer, now that there is a simple retractable-blade arrowhead that is the most deadly effective hunting arrowhead ever made. Rocket Aeroheads™ offer today’s bowhunter an unprecedented combination of accuracy and stopping power.

to be conventional? Hardened steel chisel tip machined to a true point.

In flight: what looks like a field point, flies like one.

On impact: explodes instantly into one tough broadhead that stays together and stays open. Solid aluminum ferrule with a steel washer backstop. All the stay-together strength of the toughest conventional broadheads. •’1

A simple O-ring holds the blades tight in the ferrule (during launch and in flight) eliminating the wind drag and aerodynamic instability of protruding blades, requiring less air-impeding fletch ing, and conserving more energy for I impact.

Replaceable razor-sharp 0.030" stainless-steel blades are offset and nonvented to deliver a devastating spiral wound channel with superior penetration. Non-barbed-it always pulls out easier than a conventional broadhead because the blades retract.

Miniblaster-3™

Flat leading edges of the blade tips have more surface to catch fur, hide, and feathers. This reduces the amount of blade tip protrusion needed to spring blades open for a full width entry wound.

With proven performance on most North American large game species, the Miniblaster'" has clearly shown that you don’t have to sacrifice cutting diameter, strength, or penetrating capability for accuracy. Now available with diree or four blades, in both right and left helical, and with three different blade styles to match the speed of your arrow -all packing huge 1-3/4" cutting diameters into 80 grains.

► Perhaps the lightest head ever to take a buffalo in a single shot, the ■Wolverine™ (57 grains and 1-1/4” cutting diameter) is the lightest, fastest and grain-for-grain toughest hunting arrowhead made. The blades are angled out for quick opening. ► The new Miniblaster-3L™ (80 grains, 1-3/4" cutting diameter) has the same body as the Miniblaster-3™ but the blades have large extended blade tips for quick opening at lower speeds. The blades open externally on wet deer hide when there is enough speed to get through the hide. ► The new Miniblaster-3XL™ (80 grains, 1-3/4" cutting diameter) has extra large blade tip extensions for maximum blade-opening leverage on impact. The blades open externally on a tomato at low speed, yet side blade surface is mini mized to prevent windplaning. ► The Buckblaster™ (125 grains and 2-3/4” cutting diameter) cuts the most lethal hole of any arrowhead. The cuts from the folding blades follow the cuts made by the stationary blades to increase penetration. When shot with out the stationary blades at 110 grains, the Buckblaster™ delivers a larger payload more accurately than any arrowhead ever made.
