Location: ELM FORK Shooting Sports, 10751 Luna Road, Dallas, Texas 75220 |
| 4/29/2008: The IPC has released their magazine, the Paralympian - which has an article on Archery. |
4/27/2008: Photos and video clips from the Texas Shootout (Sponsored by DOINKER PRODUCTS) has been shot. Great weather and temps, almost no wind in the afternoon of the qualifying day. The OR rounds were blessed with much more interesting weather conditions. Photos are here. Note that video clips are large, and have a filmstrip in the upperleft corner of the thumbnail. Broadband definitely helps!
ADDENDUM: Any archer in one of these videos will be able to diagnose the final part of his or her shot mechanism in very good detail. I would urge that he or she remember that any percieved flaws these videos reveal are only a small part of what is otherwise probably very good archery. Don't focus on, don't see only, the bad. There is also good to be seen. And if you feel you see something needing improvement, seek out a High Performance BEST coach for some good help. Ron Carmichael |

| 12/30/07: Richard Hart's Cyclic Archer Training Timer (MASS CATT) has a further enhancement that makes it easier to use - you can now set the number of arrows (ie, in your quiver), and it will pause automatically at that point so that you can pull, and resume without losing the total count of arrows shot. So if you set a training goal (ahem, a GOOD idea according to the coach writing this) you can use this software to help get that goal. |

| 12/15/2007:
I regret to report the passing of Jack Aborn:
This arrived in my email box: "This is E.G. LeBre and I regret to inform all of you of the sudden passing of Jack Aborn, the long time national judge. Last Saturday, Dec. 8th, Jack suffered a stroke and as this past week was progressing, he was improving to the point he was released from the ICU to a private room. It was then planned that on Friday, Dec 14th, he would be moved to a rehab and start that phase. His daughter was with him on Friday morning when he suddenly passed away. At this point in time we have no further news as to the cause and when there will be a funeral.
Jack truly enjoyed working the events with all of you and he selflessly contributed to our sport for many years. Personally I have lost a best friend, but equally important the archery community has lost a great friend and supporter.
I wish to apologize for this general email but as you can see the number of folks on the list is rather lengthy. I realize that there are some who are not included due to I not having their email or I may even have an incorrect email, so if I may impose please let them know, thank you in advance.
If there are any questions at all please contact at my email.
Thank you and be well,
V-P SAAM

Shooting Stars Announces BEST Seminar for Sept. 13 & 15 |
| 8/23/2007: Very little interest shown in this event so the idea is tabled.....there is the prospect of holding a STAR Fita
event in the first few weeks of October, a one day, Saturday
event wherein the archers would shoot at least 2, 72-arrow 70
meter rounds. One goal would be to serve as a fundraiser
for UT, another would be to provide an opportunity for archers
to shoot qualifying scores prior to going to the indoor setup
for the winter. Please be thinking about it. If you
think you might be interested in such an event please send me an
email
using this link. |

|
1/10/2007: the WITT
has had a fairly low turnout - there are, for example, only FOUR
female recurves out of the 70+ entries. It is not too late
to attend this event. The event when held prior to the Olympic
year has not included funding for the archers - this is NOT new
this year. The lucky few who prevail will get to represent
the US in Turkey. Think of it as a unique vacation in a
land with history going back 3 thousand years or more.

12-14-2006: I just discovered this new way to support the USA
Archery program. It works by portal technology. If
you shop online at any number of online websites, you first
simply navigate to that site through a software portal sitting
on your computer's desktop, that gives to USA Archery financial
credit just for you using their free portal. Yu download
the portal software from
this link ,
it installs to your desktop, and then you just click on the
shopping bag to shop. This is a safe way to help out the
organization. For more information on how this works,
read at this link. |

Both of the most popular internet browsers have been updated

since it has been proven to be more secure than MS IE.

World.
Listing yourself is benign - you will NOT be spammed as a
result. It allows you to list a photo as well.
Recommended, and I hope all that read this will check it out and
participate. PS- There is also one for the UK archers - and
Texas is only a little behind them in quantities. Go

muscles for beginning and intermediate archers.
The seminar is geared toward the level 1 and 2 instructors and
intermediate archers. The goal is to help level 1 and 2
instructors obtain a good foundation in proper shooting
mechanics to head off bad habits and reinforce proper form.
This is basically a continuing education opportunity for current
level 1 and 2 instructors who may not have had a chance to be
exposed to the BEST method.
Weather permitting we may be able to shoot some outside at close
distances to reinforce the technique.
The cost is $25 per family. The time will be 9 am until about 4
or 5, at the 4H activities center at the Victoria airport
(MAP). There will be one hour lunch break about noon. Please

9/23/2005: To all NAA members: If you see
anything below of note or concern, please contact
your NAA Board member representative.
The proposals for
the upcoming NAA Board Meeting to be held in Colorado Springs
NEXT weekend (Sept. 30 & Oct. 1).
PROPOSALS:
1. USAT -
Use 70 meter ranking rounds on odd number years and FITA ranking
rounds on even number years.
Correction:
1. USAT - Use
70 meter ranking rounds on EVEN number years and FITA
ranking rounds on ODD number years.
2. USAT -
Eliminate 12 minute test as a requirement for USAT and Jr. USAT.
3. Allow
archers with disabilities to compete in both AR and able-bodied
classes with a single registration fee, and rnake AR athletes
with their able-bodied competitors for target reassignment and
ranking purposes.
4. Include
both Men and Women on Training Camp and International Team
Staffs.
5. Consider
funding a 1 hour archery program for ESPN, HBO or anyone else
who will air it.
6. Develop
JOAD Programs at the State Level with requirements and
incentives. (this is a long proposal with some great ideas -
just too much to write here).
7. Limiting
BOG candidates to running for only one position at a time. (for
example, not both Athlete and Regional Rep.)
8. Proposal to
change FITA rule for allowable riser length for US Longbow rules
from 18 inches to 24 inches.
9. Change the
NAA Board Composition, removing 4 of the 8 regional
representatives and replacing with representatives from Coaches,
Judges, JOAD Leaders and the College Division.
10. Add a
State Team championship to Nationals.
11. Include
Sport Science Committee expenses in the 2006 budget.
12. Developing
Scoring Software for USAT qualifiers to standardize results and
help tournament organizers.
13. Revise
Tournament bid package and Create oversight committee or person
to maintain consistency and quality in NAA tournaments.
14. Olympic
Team Trials - Use best 72 arrow USAT qualifier within 3 months
prior to the trials, along with 72 arrows at the trials to make
the cut for the round robins. Use total of all scores to
determine top 4 finishers. Require Olympic Round and Team
Round participation at a USAT qualifier in a 12 month period
prior to the trials. Have the National Coach select 3 of
the top four archers for the team, based on his observation of
the athletes.
15. To
encourage participation in Team Rounds. Require team round
participation in at least one USAT qualifier to be eligible for
USAT.
16. Move the
National Indoor Championships earlier in the year so archers
have more time to prepare for outdoor distances prior to the
first USAT qualifier.
17. Support Copanarco by sending teams to more Copanarco
events. This would improve our relations with Copanarco,
which determines World Ranking Event status.
18. Offer
Collegiate Division at US National Target Champ. and encourage
Collegiate divisions at all NAA Sanctioned events.
19. Provide
more information about USADA (Drug Testing) to athletes at NAA
events and training camps.
20. Propose to
FITA a rule change allowing one to three distances of a FITA to
be shot in one day, finishing the remainder on the second day.
This allows more flexibility to tournament directors vs. one day
or two day FITA.
21. Propose to
FITA better methods to update and inform members of rule
changes, when they were made and why.
22. Provide
tournament banners with USAT sponsors to all NAA Major Events.
Other issues that will be discussed include:
The Budget
NADA Contract
Strategic Plan and
Goals for 2006
Committees
Pan Am and Olympic
Trials Process and Timeline
World University
Games Selection Process
Involving
ParaOlympics in all NAA Programs

From Kathy Eissinger on the National Indoors:
I have updated
the website with the latest info from the NAA concerning
memberships for those of you that are signed up for the
tournament. Please take a moment to check your name if you are
shooting and verify the status of your membership. If there is a
yes by your name your are okay at least through Feb. If it says
Feb., your membership expired Feb 1st and the NAA has not
received a renewal from you, if it says no, you either don't
have one, it has expired or you have your membership in a region
outside of the south. Please be prepared to show a current
membership card for the NAA or NFAA or purchase a membership at
the tournament. We will have forms there for that purpose.
(ARC Addendum- note that the
NAA's Dress Code Policy will be in force at this event) |

11/15/2004: The 4H archery program in Texas has always been a
very strong one for several reasons: volunteerism by parents,
participation by youth, and inclusionism (is that a word?) by
the 4H coordinators. In the spirit of inclusion the
"4H Indoor Southern Regional Championship" name is being changed
to the "4H Indoor Southern Regional Invitational. Now youth
archers from all over the state and even Mexico that want to
come and play, can. There will be guest division for non-4H
members. In other words, a youth doesn't have to be
a 4H member to shoot with, learn about what a great thing, 4H
archery is. For more information on the series of 4H
tournaments being held through December,
check the 4-H Archery Page
and especially the schedule page

"official", Lindsey Carmichael set a new Paralympic record
in Athens at the Paralympics, exceeding the old record by 34 points,
and exceeded the current world
record by 13 points, by registering a 603 for the ranking round.
She tied with another archer but she had 3 more Xs and thus was
ranked number one going into the matchplay.
She then shot a paralympic record of 145 (18 arrows) in
her first match before shooting three 5s in the 12 arrow round,
coming up 7 points short against her competitor from Thailand 98
to 91 in the 1/4 round.

Chris Shull
Interviewed on NPR. Great coverage and exposure for archery!
From the NPR Website: " March
25, 2004 -- With the Athens summer Olympics less
than five months away, there's a growing sense of urgency about construction
delays in Greece and mounting security challenges. But for thousands of
athletes, the only timetables that matter are the training schedules that
build in intensity as the August games approach. In the first of a series,
NPR's Tom
Goldman profiles one of those athletes. At 24, Chris Shull is the
fourth-ranked archer in the United States, and he's bringing a new vibe to a
sport that was once almost dropped from the Olympics. "

Each few months the NAA sends the TSAA secretary (Gina Carmichael) a paper list

sit down and type them all back into digital form so we can track their
expiration dates, etc.. I thought it would be interesting to see where

7/1/2003: A few days
ago, while at the NAA National JOAD Target Championship, I had the pleasure of
spending a short time with Darrell Pace, who gave me a quick lesson in shooting
pool. He's a self-confident, friendly, approachable, and congenial kind of
person, fun to talk to, and I enjoyed the game of 8-ball, for sure.
Just a few days later I was browsing a
bookstore in the Cucamonga Community Library in California, and came across a
book staring me plumb in the face - Games of the XXIIIrd Olympiad of 1984 (Los
Angeles). Eagerly opening the book to page 46, I read about archery at this
Olympiad, and the gold medal winner - Darrell Pace - and it reminded me that in
addition to being a normal, regular ol' guy, Darrell Pace is nothing of the sort
- a two-time gold medal winner (and much more)! Read the entire, short, well
composed writeup on archery at this event,

Texas Shootout
The Aggies have once again hosted a premier and excellent event - they arranged
a great field and made sure the weather was perfect. The temps ranged from
a brisk 65 in the mornings at 7am to around 80 or 84 at the height of the day.
Winds were always light and consistent, never more than about 10 mph, and
usually closer to 5mph or dead calm. By the
time of the fajita dinner at 7pm on the day of the FITA, Kathy Eissinger had the
results of the shooting available as a handout for all four disciplines.

FINAL
FOR & FITA
RESULTS AND PICTURES OF THE
TEXAS SHOOTOUT 2001 at
Texas A&M (who hosted
an excellent, smooth-run, well-organized event). Folks, I (the webmaster)
have been attending tournaments for only two years but have seen several NAA
national JOAD tournaments. This was by far the best tournament I have EVER
been to. Kathy Eissinger and Frank Thomas of Texas A&M are the archery
coaches who organized and coordinated the event. In addition they enlisted
help from a number of assets at TAMU to lay out a perfect field complete with
traditional Aggie coloration, all support facilities necessary, an able crew to
do the hard work, a great officiating crew that included Jane Johnson (past NAA
president), Jack Milchanowski as the DOS, George Tekmitchov as the smooth
announcer during the finals of the FITA Olympic Elimination Rounds (FOR), and
the NAA furnished excellent LCD clock displays and arrow/score
displays. Chris Harrell of A&M provided the TSAA with the
results which you will find at the link above. The wind was beyond
anyone's control of course, and the archers prevailed to turn in excellent
scores and even have a good time doing so.
4/20/2001: SEARCH the TSAA website AND the NAA Website AND the web easily
using the search tool at the bottom of this page. I am making every effort
to identify archers in pictures by naming the pictures. These should show up in
the search once they are indexed by google. If your picture doesn't have your name
in a tournament's photos - email me the DCP name and I'll update it!
4/18/2001: Applying Mylar Vanes to
carbon arrows: a pictorial, by A.Ron Carmichael - on a page FULL of useful

change of location for the Texas Shootout - the mapblast
location shows it's approximate position, which is the area that A&M
uses for lacrosse.
4/12/2001: Rob DiStefano has made many
bowstrings over his career. He has thoughtfully re-done his previous
documents on how to make a bowstring, and has added a neat page on how to make

3/15/2001: CHANGE OF VENUE -
The
Texas State Outdoor Tournament will be held in Victoria on June 30-July 1.
This venue is also the site 2 weeks earlier for the June 16-17 Gulf Coast
Regional JOAD/TSAA State JOAD.
NOTE TO ALL ARCHERS:
Effective April 1, 2001, the maximum allowable arrow size for all FITA disciplines will be reduced from a maximum outside diameter of 11mm to 9.3mm. This
means that any arrows larger than a 23 diameter will no longer be considered legal equipment as per the FITA Constitution and Rules. Please note that the size
2317 arrow shaft does not comply with the new standard since the outside diameter of that shaft is slightly larger than 9.3mm. Careful attention will be given to
arrow size during equipment control once this new rule goes into effect. NAA judges will gauge any arrows that are suspected to be larger than the maximum
standard.
3/14/2001: If you are going to College Station for the qualifier shoot on
Sunday March 18, be sure to plan on wet fields due to the rains this week - rain
