THE BC ARCHER
Message from the President:
Over the winter months of 2005, the membership of the
BCAA has seen many events. The activity in our province
is good and getting better everyday. I would like to take
a moment and recognize some of the people who give
willingly of their time to ensure that the playing field of
archery in our province is level and fair. These people
are often overlooked, and yet without them we could not
have the level of competition and athlete success that we
do in BC.
We have in our midst a contingent of judges that work
for no pay and very often do not even apply to have their
expenses covered. They travel out to gyms, fields and the
bush. They are exposed to long hours of standing, in the
heat and of course the rain, as it appears in every degree
imaginable. There are judges that we see out there in
different zones across the province, and there are ones who
travel long distances to Provincial Championships. Some
are more high profile than others and some get recognized
more than others, but they are all valuable.
The Association has started upgrading and improving
our judging program to ensure that the most current
information is out there for everyone’s benefit. Ron
Ostermeier has reestablished the “You and the Rules”
column in the BC Archer and invites anyone to submit
questions and comments to him for reply and publishing.
It is as important that you know the rules for your shooting
class as well as a judge does. Over the next several months
the Board will be moving to ensure that all our judges and
judge candidates have an opportunity to partake in a clinic
to upgrade or to refresh their current knowledge.
Thank you to all of the judges who work to support the
athletes and the Association. I appreciate the time you
have given and continue to give.

Message from the Editor:
The schedules are out for the Spring and Summer shooting season. This issue has many registration forms at
the back, so be sure to have a look at deadlines for registration.
I would like to invite the kids/juniors who have a great
experience this Summer at one of their big events, to
write it down and send it in to me to share with the rest
of the BC archers. I look forward to your submissions.
The deadline for the next issue is June 15!

THE BC ARCHER
April 2005
BC Games Report
The BC Seniors Games are to be held by the Cowichan Bowmen August 24th –27th in the Cowichan Valley. Eric Walker and his
organization are already working hard to ensure the Games will be a great success for those who attend.
Over the months since the BC Northern Winter Games, the Games Society has reviewed applications by sports to participate in the
next cycle of Games. Archery was successful in becoming a core sport for these games and will be in the 2006 Northern Winter
Games in 100 Mile House February 2-5. With this review came a change to the way the sports will participate in the Games, in
that the Provincial Advisor to the BC Games will take a more active role in assisting the Northern representatives with selection
of categories and participants for future events. It is not unlikely that there will be more changes to this event in the future, but for
now it is just the Core Sport status that has been established. In the very near future the Sport Chair and Assistant will be named for
the Games in 100 Mile House. These people will work closely with the BC Games Society and the Host Community organization
to ensure the best support and execution of the event as possible.
As an added note, “the medals minus one” rule will be strictly adhered to. This stipulation has been printed in rulebooks for
a long time and for one reason or another it has not been upheld until very recently. The situation caused anger by some and
disappointment for many at the last Northern Winter Games. I have seen letters of protest and I understand the feelings. It is not
something that the BC Archery Association has any control over, this event is put on and financially supported by the BC Games
Society. They pay for the transportation, food, accommodation and the medals, it is their mandate and their multi-sport games.
The BC Archery Association supplies the shooting rules, technical support and we try to support the club as requested by the
club and the BC Games Society. To ensure that the categories are filled and that there are medals for the top three, there needs to
be more communication between zone reps who are trying to fill out the documents for the Games Society. This would ensure
that categories have a minimum of four across the Northern Winter Games zones and that there will be enough representation to
complete the criteria of “competition” for the Games.
The BC Summer Games 2006 will be in Kamloops and Archery is also eligible to participate this cycle. Brian Dennis from
Kamloops has accepted the position of Sport Chair and preparation for this event will begin in the near future. Contact information
for Brian can be found on page two of this issue of the BC Archer.
There have been several changes to our participation since I attended many years ago, and this year is no exception. It is important
to remember that the BC Games Society has taken a view of “development” for the Games. Their mandate has brought on
transition to younger athletes who have not yet stepped into the provincial-team level. This includes coaches and officials who are
preparing for higher levels of competition. It is the Society’s vision, “that every BC athlete, coach and official who represents this
province at provincial or national-level events and beyond will have had a BC Games experience”. Last year this created several
problems and was a very difficult call when using the wildcard positions for young athletes to go. Ultimately it came down to
scores, category sizes and gender equity.
2006 Eligibility Criteria
• All coaches attending this rotation are required to have level two certification or CBET equivalent;
• The athletes must be 14 or 15 as of the 1st day of the event, July 27-30th;
• Five athletes per zone, with no more than 4 of either genderFD;
• Six wildcards are available, and again no more than 4 of either gender;
• Athletes may only compete in one BC Summer Games in Archery; and
• The medals minus one rule
The one last twist to this event is that if we don’t meet the above-stated criteria we will have our Core sport status reduced to
Optional. This would mean that we would no longer have guaranteed status as a participating sport. Archery would only be in the
Games if there is a strong host club in the community and volunteers from the Organization. From my point of view it would be a
big loss if we had this happen. It could affect our funding with the Provincial government and we would no longer be able to use
it in the developmental plan for future athletes.
I realize very well that this has not been an easy transition for our sport. As a family-oriented activity, the loss of this Games for
adults and juniors has been a big blow to participation. To this the board members have no answers, the past Provincial Advisor
worked hard to keep the games status quo, as I have too. This has not been possible as the mandate for the BC Games Society has
changed and as I have said before it is their Games. The new role is junior development and we need to view this event as just that,
a stepping stone for young athletes to move towards other major events. See page 10 for a list of upcoming BC Games events.
Respectfully,
Susan Lemke
BC Games Provincial Advisor

THANK YOU FRASER VALLEY ARCHERS!
Your Club did a truly professional job of hosting
and organizing the southern portion of the 2005 JOP
Indoor Championship. With your years of experience
at hosting this event, you managed to accommodate
a record number of participants. With two lines of
archers and the late arrival of the “Islanders” (thanks to
BC Ferries) what could have been utter chaos became
just organized confusion.
some re-assigned), equipment was loaned out to junior
archers who didn’t have their own, and the concession
stand was manned all day to fuel the participants. A
total of 10 judges officiated, eight of whom were from
other clubs, and many parents assisted newcomers
with scoring. After the last arrow was shot came hours
of tabulating results, venue clean up and equipment
transport back to base.
It was nice to see new volunteers coming forward
to help ease the burden of the old stalwart members.
There are thousands of volunteer man-hours that go
into organizing an event of this magnitude. It starts
with Mary Ostermeier, our JOP Chairperson, who
has faithfully kept track of all active JOP members
throughout the years. The host club secured a great
venue, collected and organized lists of entrants,
transported the equipment to the venue, set up the butts,
signal lights, and targets once there, as well as stocked
the food concession. On the day of competition,
registration took place, targets were assigned, (and
No club or organization can exist without active
volunteers. Everyone has some type of expertise his or
her club can use to help share the workload. Making use
of this human resource ensures that we have ACTIVE
archery club members not just club archers. Without
the generous donation of their time, events like this
cannot happen.
Again, thanks to Fraser Valley Archers club executive,
membership & volunteers for making the 2005 JOP
Indoor Championships a great success.

THE BC ARCHER
YO U AND T H E RULES
with Ron Ostermeier
Well the 3D season is well under way
So let’s talk about classes and the difference between 3D and the target classes. To be in a
Bowhunter class in the target word you must shoot 40 pounds of draw weight or more; but
is that the fact for 3D? Read the following rule:
7.3.8 Bowhunter Unlimited (Target Rules)
For the FCA Bowhunter Unlimited division, the same rules apply as for the Compound division except:
The Bow may be of any type provided it subscribes to the usual definition of a bow and it is drawn and held
using only the athlete’s muscles. It must be a minimum of forty (40) lbs at the athlete’s draw length or a
minimum peak weight of 40# on a compound bow, (minus 3% margin of error). No maximum draw weight is
prescribed;
Now let’s look at the 3D rules
11.12.7 Maximum peak bow weight:
11.12.7.1 A maximum of 80-pound peak bow weight in all male classes except traditional, which is 90 pounds.
11.12.7.2 A maximum of 60 pound peak bow weight in all female and Youth classes.
11.12.7.3 A maximum of 40 pound peak bow weight in Cub classes
You will note that there is no minimum weight only Maximum weight talked about so for the 3D game; the
40 pounds that is in the target rules does not apply. But remember when you enter a target event such as the
Northern Winter games and you enter in a Bowhunter Class, your bow must be a Minimum of 40 pounds in
draw weight.
You can look up the rules at http://www.e-bizinus.com/fca/rules/ if you have the access to a computer.
When you are there have a look at (What is my shooting category?? For Target For 3D) it seems to work
well. Well done Greg!
I would also like to congratulate the newest judges who have taken the required training to work towards their
status as Provincial Judges.
From the clinic in Port Coquitlam:

THE BC ARCHER
The New NCCP
So what does this mean to the archers of Canada? We are starting on a new system to train our coaches and have chosen a path
that will improve the coaching in BC by zeroing in on who our coaches are coaching. If you are only interested in working
with beginners this new system will be giving you the knowledge to do just that and not require you to learn more than you
need. As your interest in coaching grows and your need to train higher level archers becomes a reality you can then take the
next step if you wish.
Community Sport
Instruction
Competition
• Initiation
• Beginners
• Introduction
• Ongoing Participation
• Intermediate
• Development
• Advanced
• High performance
• facilitators trained by NSF
• facilitators trained by CAC • facilitators trained by CAC
• evaluation of coaches for certification purposes is the responsibility of the NSF
Looking at the chart above; the path that Archery is following is in bold letters and we are not training the disciplines in italics.
The first that is being offered in the new system is “Instructor Beginner” and the others are being worked on so that they
may be delivered in the near future. This “Instructor Beginner” course will supply you with the necessary theory / technical
components and once the workbook is completed you will be a fully-certified coach at that level. The evaluation part for the
course will take place on the second day of the clinic and be done by the Facilitators running the clinic. This course will also
provide you with the “Making Ethical Decisions” component that ALL coaches in Canada will have to take. This component
will be delivered in a workshop and all coaches will be evaluated by taking the online evaluation at the Coaches Association
of Canada website, (it is not up and running at this time). So what happens to our old levels in coaching? Well they will still
be in effect but you will be required to take the “Making Ethical Decisions” component.
For those existing coaches who wish to sit in on a clinic to get their Making Ethical Decisions component, there will be a
small fee to cover the cost of the materials, but if you would like to attend the whole clinic you will then be on the path to
being certified in both coaching streams.
In British Columbia, we have two qualified Master Course Facilitators; they are Charles Land and Ron Ostermeier. I hope
that this explains the path that we are following and I hope to see you at the clinics.
Yours in Archery,
Ron Ostermeier

Attention Lower Mainland Coaches!
As long as I’ve been involved in this sport some of us have thought it would be a good thing to organize some
Informative Learning Seminars in different areas from time to time. This first one will be at Boorman Archery
on Sunday June 5th at 8:00 AM. It will be targeted towards Coaches of all levels, in zones 3, 4 & 5. We hope
that it will give Coaches a chance to exchange information, gain some tools to facilitate learning, rather than
lecture, and stay abreast of any new developments in coaching.
Most importantly though, the clinic will also include Making Ethical Decisions. The FCA
and CAC have indicated that this course is going to become required for all Coaches. It is our
intention to be ahead of the game and show leadership in the quality of our Coach training.
If you have any questions or wish to register, please contact myself or Charles Land. The cost will be $20.00.

THE BC ARCHER
Dear Editor ,
I’m writing this letter because I’m upset with something that
happened up in Dawson Creek at the Northern B.C. Winter
Games.
I went up there as the team coach for the Cariboo, what upset
me was the way the medals were handed out. If there were
only three archers in the division they would only hand out the
gold and silver medals. If there were only two archers they
would hand out gold only. To the archers that should have got
silver or bronze medals this is a slap in the face.
I wrote a letter to the Winter Games Society and told them
this is wrong. The letter I got back said, “Thank you for your
opinion but we will do what we want”. What upsets me the
most about this is 1) the medals are donated so they are free,
and 2) they have the year stamped on them so if they are
not used they are thrown out. So why not put them around a
young archer’s neck instead of the garbage? These young
archers had to earn the right to shoot so why deprive them
of these medals? By depriving these young archers medals
they are upsetting these archers and they may quit.
We need these kids to keep this sport alive so I would like
all archers coaches and judges to write to the Winter Games
Society and tell them this has to change.
Thank you, Dale Chapplow

THE BC ARCHER
2005 Canadian Nationals - July 22 - 29 - New Brunswick
B. C. Target Team Selection Criteria
Declaration Deadline: June 1, 2005
The team selection criteria are reviewed each year by the Board of Directors of the BCAA. We attempt to establish criteria that
are both objective, for the basic selection, and flexible enough to consider external influences such as budget restrictions and
considerations for the potential for individual medals. We also consider team contribution and contributions given to our sport
when making the selection. In order for scores to be considered for selection, an athlete must be a member of the BCAA and must
declare his/her intention to be available for the team in writing by June 1st, 2005.
Scores must be sent to Tracy Klat and must be received (or postmarked) on or before June 20, 2005 to be considered.
To select a team to the Nationals, we will use the top four FITA Stars, Canadian FITAs and/or B.C. registered FITAs, three
(3) of which must be shot in the current outdoor season. B.C.-only FITAs must be registered with the BCAA team selection
administrator, Tracy Klat, prior to the event; the appropriate paperwork must be sent to Ron Ostermeier; and, they must be judged
by qualified Officials. Tournament summary sheets must be sent to the administrator by the tournament director and officiating
timing sheets must be sent to Ron Ostermeier. It is, however, the ultimate Responsibility of the archer to ensure that his/her
score is registered. A signed copy of the scorecard will be an acceptable proof of achievement.
A candidate with at least one Field Round within the past year, for the purpose of experience in the field, will be considered first
for the position within a given category. Athletes wishing to participate in a category beyond their regulation age category must
receive written permission from the Board to be eligible for funding. The selection period starts July 2nd, 2004 and extends to
June 20th, 2005.
National records and the qualifying scores can be found on the FCA website or in the March/April issue of the BC Archer.

T ECH-TALK
with Charles Land
Try Breathing . . .
Tomorrow, you will be standing on the shooting line in Las Vegas, it’s your first time there and there are
only about 1800 of the world’s finest shooters competing over the next three days. As you walk around, you
identify a number of high-profile shooters that you only read about in magazines. This is not a dream, and
you are about to feel the earthquake!
Nerves, anxiety, apprehension or a flat out melt-down is now about to happen. This is perfectly normal in the
human equation, but it is how you deal with it that is important. The first thing that you need to do is to admit
to yourself that you need help.
I am only going to touch on one method of dealing with anxiety, but it is one that is most overlooked by
coaches and athletes alike . . . breathing.
To make a point to one of our athletes that went to Las Vegas with us and, yes, suffered a mini melt-down, I
set up a demonstration that would exhibit the power of controlled breathing. It is important to understand that
my methodology in this illustration should not be used by other coaches in their various training regimes.
Mark and several other archers were in the shooting lane at the shop and the subject of anxiety came up. I told
them that it was very simple to arrest your anxiety by simply breathing it away. I used Mark as my subject
and proceeded to build up his level of anxiety. I took him to the point that he was getting very upset with me
and he told me to quit . . . that he was getting very uncomfortable with the whole process. I needed him at this
level to best demonstrate the power of this method.
“I want you to stop now, close your eyes and don’t move. I want you to breathe in through your nose slowly
and take it right up to your brain. Hold your breath for three seconds and then breathe out slowly through your
mouth while pushing down on your diaphragm. This should take eight seconds. Now, do it one more time.”
“Now, tell me what you were thinking about when you were doing this exercise?” I asked him. “I wasn’t
thinking about anything,” he replied.
“How do you feel now Mark?” He looked at me for a moment and then smiled, “I don’t believe it, the stress
is all gone.”
Mark’s anxiety level was raised to a point that would normally exceed anything that he might feel at a
competition. By him following a few simple breathing exercises, he was able to completely dissipate his
anxiety and resume with a return to his comfort zone. It is important to realize that you must suppress these
anxieties as quickly as possible in order for you to compete in the subconscious.
Feeling stressed out? Try breathing.

The 2005 BC Indoor was a success. Even with the change in location (cement floor to dirt floor), and
lower than expected attendance, everyone that participated seemed to have a good time.
We had two robinhoods during the meet. On the first day, Anne Bone got her very first robinhood.
Anne has only been shooting since last summer. On the second day, Larry Doiron got the second
robinhood of the meet. Not sure if it was the target, but both Anne and Larry were shooting on the same
target, but on different lines.
At the end of the tournament, a number of BC records were also broken. Layne Rosen (Pre-cub Barebow)
has only been shooting for a few months. Brittany Cass (Cadet Barebow), Carlee Howard (Cadet
Compound), Mynga Keller (Master Recurve), Al Fleck (Master Barebow), Ron Ostermeier (Master
Bowhunter Unl), Tom Hecht (Master Compound), and Shawn Dempster (Bowhunter, Unsighted).
Reminder to all record breakers to submit their scores for verification.

FITA World Indoor Championships, Aalborg, Denmark
The World Indoors are held every two years and they were
hosted this year from March 22-27 in Aalborg, Denmark.
Canada sent its largest team ever to this event and of the
11 archers on the team, four were from British Columbia
- Thomas Scully, Greg Maund, Mike Hornsberger and I,
Greg Durward. This is a mini-report on the event.
The Canadians’ best results were placings in the top
16 by Alan Gunter (compound junior men), Doris Jones
(compound junior women), and Ashley Wallace (compound
junior women),
This year was the biggest World Championships in many
years with 319 archers and 124 officials plus the support
staff for the teams. It was held on the outskirts of Aalborg in
the “Gigantium” which was a huge beautiful arena. We all
stayed in the Scandic Hotel which was very conveniently
located less than half a kilometre away. Thus we were
able to take a short shuttle, or walk to the event using an
underpass under a busy highway (or run quickly across
the busy highway!).
A fantastic buffet breakfast was included with our room
charge and most of us opted to pre-purchase lunch and
dinner through the FCA before the event. This turned out
to be a good idea since food is very expensive and anyone
who had to purchase the meals there paid almost 50%
more. In restaurants, we paid $1.80 for a glass of water
and up to $8.00 for a large glass of Coke. (Funny how the
price of Coke is internationally regarded as a measure of
the cost of living!)
The Opening Ceremonies included the usual marching in of the teams, speeches and entertainment. This year’s entertainment took the form of a dancing
rendition of the William Tell story. Actually, it was the Danish version of the famous archery story that the Danes claim was the basis for the William Tell
legend. The picture shown here is of me with Kristel Alain at the Opening Ceremonies. Kristel, our junior women’s recurve shooter was decked out in
Canadian flags and I am sure that she was the most photographed person at the Ceremonies!
Our team was very cohesive under the excellent leadership of Jeff Gunter and Karen Wallace (if you don’t count Jeff’s navigational skills when sightseeing).
We all made every effort to be present when any of the team members were shooting, out of interest of course, and to provide support. Thus most of our
time was spent eating, practicing, competing and cheering.
Nonetheless we did manage a few excursions in small groups. Aalborg is a town of about 160,000 situated in the north-eastern part of Denmark. Unfortunately
it has relatively few tourist sights. Some of the team managed a little time in Copenhagen before or after the event as well. A few of us took a one-day side
trip on a bus to the northwest coast to a small town called Løkken on the “Danish Riviera” where we met local fishermen selling their catch and stuck our
toes in the North Sea.
There were plenty of exciting matches in the individual and team finals but I will let you look up the results on the web if you want the details. Three World
Records were broken in Aalborg including a team record of 269 out of 270 by the US Men’s Compound team. Norwegian compound archer, Morten Boe,
shot a stunning 357 (out of 360) combined total for his three 12-arrow finals matches. The last night everyone attended the full (and filling!) buffet banquet
followed by dancing and revelry.
When you leave an event like this you have two choices. Your first option is to stew over your performance (which is almost never what you had dreamed,
hoped and fantasized about). Your second option is to cherish the memories of visiting a new country, making new friends and participating in a fantastic
international archery event with some of the best archers on the planet. I choose the latter.
