President’s
Report
In all the years I have been associated with and
working for the archery community I have to admit
that this year above all has truly been a highlight. I
had the honour of traveling with many teams and
working hard to support the efforts of several BC
athletes.
From the BC Games to the World Championships
many faces of athletes have been pressed into my
memory. This past October I traveled with athletes
from across Canada to the International Paralympic Committee World Championships for Archery
where I again was able to see the Canadian Flag
raised on the field of competition. The hard work
of athletes and their coaches recognized for an
instant and their names forever placed in the records of history.
Kevin Evans and his coach Vladimir Kopecky
have worked for several years to realize this moment
on their way to the Paralympics in Beijing. Time,
Money and emotion have been spent on a journey that is only partly about the winning. The
accomplishments of Hugh Macdonald this year
and the Men’s team silver in Rio at the Pan Am
Games have also been part of my experience as
support staff. Both these athletes can be held out as
examples of hard work and dedication to a goal.
Through long practices and traveling on a shoe
string budget they have followed a passion and
been successful. The winning has not been the
only reward, of course we know that not everyone
can win a medal, but the travel, sharing experience
and meeting of new people who become friends
is also part of that picture.
I would like to thank all the athletes that have allowed
me to share with them in the past year, from the
young athletes at the winter games, the provincial
indoors and outdoor championships. From Squamish
to Kimberly, to Vanderhoof and all points in between,
your energy inspires me, your desire drives me
and your successes no matter how small adds to
my library of knowledge.

I would like to share with you a poem by WA Clannen that I found some time ago, I have read it
often and believe it to be true, I know from my
own experience as competitor and as support to
athletes that what you take away from the experience is what shapes you as a competitor and
member of a community.
Sincerely,
Susan Lemke
The Contest Lasts for Moments
Though the training’s taken years.
It isn’t the winning alone that
was worth the work and the tears.
The applause will be forgotten
and the prize will be misplaced.
But the long hard hours of practice
will never be a waste.
For in the trying to win
You build a skill;
You learn that winning depends on will.
You will never grow by how much you win
You will only grow by how much you put in.
So for any new challenge you’ve just began
Put forth your best and you have already won.
W A Clannen

OUTDOOR TARGET CHAMPIONSHIP
NEWS RELEASE
Local Archers Compete at National Championships
Squamish was well represented this year at the
2007 Canadian Outdoor Target Championships
held in Orangeville, Ontario. Two of our local archers made the trip to compete in the weeklong
event to determine the best outdoor archers in the
nation.
This year’s tournament hosted 206 athletes from
across the country, many of which have represented Canada on the international stage. The
format consisted of the athletes shooting 72 arrows at each of 4 distances over a 4-day period to
determine ranking for medals and the following
match play competition. In the junior recurve category the boys were shooting at 90, 70, 50 and 30
meters.
This year’s event was especially challenging due
to stifling heat and humidity combined with
crosswinds gusting to 100 kms per hour. The
boys persevered and despite all obstacles, Jonathan Russell posted a 5th place finish with Jonathan Greening taking 6th.
In the following match play event, both boys
bowed out early to international level competition but vowed to return when the event moves
to Manitoba in 2008.
The lessons learned in Ontario must have taken
hold because at the 2-day BC Provincial Outdoor
Championships held 2 weeks later in Burnaby
and Port Coquitlam, the boys reversed roles with
Jonathan Greening taking the Gold and Jonathan
Russell claiming the Silver. Also competing at the
event was David McKenzie who won the Silver
medal in the Cub Compound Division. Many
thanks go to Susan Lemke for her support, guidance and infinite patience in working with these
athletes.

INTERNATIONAL
COMPETITIVE SHOOTING
This is the first of a series of articles about being competitive internationally, how to get there
and what it’s like, based on my
experiences so far. I am writing
from the perspective of a Male
Recurve target archer but lots of
it will probably transfer to target
recurve women and maybe lots
will apply to compounds too. I
am certainly not the best archer
in the world but I do have some
current experience competing
internationally, which I think
might have some value to those
who are thinking about giving
it a whirl. It’s not definitive; it’s
what has worked for me.
Who am I? I’m a target shooter
who’s trying to be the best he
can be.
I’ve been to three World Championships, two Pan Am Games,
two World Cup events and lots
of World Ranking events. I currently hold or share four national records.
I started archery in high school. I
was lucky, my school had a club
and the coach was a level three
NCCP coach. So I learned good
form right off the bat. Also, he
knew the progressive steps of
archery and got me started on
my way. For the first year I shot
only at the high school level with
a standard bow. At the tournament at the end of the year I
placed 6th in my region and got
a little green ribbon. It’s still one
of my favourite awards.
The following year I got my first
recurve, a Check-Mate “Saber,”
and I started going to local indoor tournaments. Just the usual FITA 18M rounds, meeting
the local archers who weren’t
doing it to get a few days off
school to go to tournaments.
In my third year I was introduced to outdoors. My first
tournament was a 900, my second a 1200, and my third a 70M
FITA 1440 round (70M, 60M,
50M and 30M). I shot that from
June until August when I shot
the US Nationals. It turned out
that there was an age rule discrepancy between Canada and
the US at the time (the rules
have been fixed so that this kind
of thing doesn’t happen any
more), and I was shooting a full
90M FITA. It was hard. I didn’t
have a sight mark, and I missed
more often than I hit at 90. My
final score was 799, I was dead
last at the tournament and I had
more fun than probably anyone
else on the field. I was hooked
and from then on all I wanted to
do was get better.
By the end of the year I had shot
one FITA with 144 hits (every arrow scored) and one FITA score
above 1000 points (and got my
first FITA “Star” award). I had
also bought my first high-end
bow (a Hoyt TD4+). I shot the
riser for seven years, at which
point it became a back-up for
a couple more, and I shot the
limbs for eleven years before I
finally retired them.
By the end of my second year
NOVEMBER / DECEMBER 2007 - Archer
10
Part 1 of 4
outdoors I was up to 1100, and
in my third outdoor season I
broke 1200. After that my pace
of improvement slowed.
It took more arrows than I was
prepared to believe, but finally,
after seven more years, I made
my first National Team in the
fall of 1999. We went to the
Olympic Qualifying event in
Mexico and I placed 6th (the
same placing as in my first-ever
event) and in the team round we
got a silver medal. I was pretty
excited about that.
In the summer of 2002 I finally
broke the 1300 plane and received my most recent FITA
“Star” award. I figure I’ve shot
about 500,000 arrows in my life
so far and I’m still progressing. Learning new things all the
time. I’m not the Olympic and
World Champion I want to be
yet, but I’m also not done yet.
What does it take to be an international shooter?
In my experience, it takes a lot
more than I ever thought. About
10 dedicated years is the average to go from a rough beginner
to someone who’s ready to start
competing at the world level.
A recent FCA/FITA survey
taken at the 2007 World Outdoor Target Championships in
Leipzig, Germany shows that,
as a rough guide for a recurve
shooter, to improve to the international level you need to
be shooting around 40,000 arrows per year for a few years
once you’ve started shooting
outdoors seriously. One archer
in the survey reported shooting
as many as 120,000 arrows in a
single year! Can it be done with
less? Yes, but it takes longer.
By and large, it takes 150,000 –
200,000 good arrows in the bank
before you’re ready to make the
national team.
“Good arrows” means that
they’re not just shot blindly for
the sake of shooting a lot of arrows. Each arrow is shot with
purpose and focus. That doesn’t
mean that they’re not fun, it just
means that they’re not frivolous. Flung arrows are arrows
in the bank, but they’re not
nearly as valuable as good arrows. Once you’ve achieved the
international level, it only takes
about 30,000 arrows a year to
maintain that skill level.
Some will look at this volume of
arrows and either disbelieve it,
or tell themselves they might as
well give up now. To become a
competitive archer you should
look at these numbers and
say “well I’d better get started
now.” I mention the numbers
of arrows as a guideline only.
The basic message is this: If you
want to be the best shooter you
can be, shoot as many arrows as
you can, as often as you can.
On top of that, you need to be
fit. A good level of cardiovascular fitness, good strong muscles,
solid balance and a stable core
are all keys to being a consis-
tent, competent and confident
competitor. The majority of top
archers are fit and very strong.
You need good form with nice
clean lines. Good form is solid,
simple, repeatable and helps
avoid injuries. Archery is all
about consistency and good
form helps with that.
Lastly, you need good equipment. This is last because a good
shooter can shoot well with less
than the newest, most state-ofthe-art gadget-laden bow, but
a bad shooter can’t be saved by
anything less than a self-firing
bow. It has to be tuned to your
personal style and, because
you will probably often travel
without your bow shop or your
coach or anyone of your regular
cronies, you need to know how
to maintain and fix it yourself.
Are there exceptions? Of
course. But if you think you’re
going to be the big fat slob who
doesn’t practice, eats nothing but doughnuts and pizza,
has weird angular form and
knows nothing at all about his
bow who wins all the events,
you’re probably wrong. What
you need to know is that all of
this is a starting point. Try to be
the best, most textbook shooter
you can, and from there you
can customize your regimen to
suit your peculiarities. Make
the shot your own, but always
strive to be simple, strong, stable, consistent and repeatable.
So, it sounds like a lot of work. It
is. It’s probably 35 hours a week
at least, but it doesn’t have to
start all at once. You can work
up to that level, adding an extra shooting day per week here,
starting a light fitness regimen
and increasing it slowly. Make
a little time at the beginning
for some of it and soon enough
you’ll have enough time to do it
all. It took me eleven years from
when I started shooting to make
my first National team and another three from there before I
was beginning to be competitive. But it’s completely worth
it - the people I’ve met; the opportunities I’ve had to test my
best against theirs; the places
I’ve been; the fantastic shooting
I’ve seen. I wouldn’t trade it.

YOU
AND THE
RULES
We are back indoors and getting ready for our first
shot at the BC Winter Games these are happening in
the Cranbrook in Feb 08. We need the youth that will
be fourteen to sixteen as of Feb 21st 2008. This is the
age group that can compete. This is the categories,
Male and female: Barebow, Compound, and Recurve.
So are your archers set up correctly to compete? What
category are they shooting? Have you looked to see
that the equipment that they are using is within the
equipment rules for that category? Can you use a level on a recurve? How many attachments can be on the
string of a recurve? What size of arrow is allowed?
7.3.3 Compound
For the Compound Division, the following equipment
is described. All types of additional devices, unless
they are electric or electronic, are permitted:
7.3.3.1 A compound bow, which may be of a shootthrough type, is one where the draw is mechanically
varied by a system of pulleys and/or cams. The bow
is braced for use by bowstring(s) attached directly between the two string nocks of the bow limbs, or attached to the bow cables, as may be applicable to the
particular design.
7.3.3.1.1 The peak draw weight must not exceed 60 lbs.
7.3.3.1.2 Cable guards are permitted.
7.3.3.1.3 A brace or split cables are permitted provided
they do not consistently touch the athlete’s hand, wrist
and/or elbow.
7.3.3.2 A bowstring of any number of strands
7.3.3.2.1 that may be of different colours and of the
material chosen for the purpose. It may have a centre
serving to accommodate the drawing fingers or release aid. Nocking points may be fitted to which may
be added serving(s) to fit the arrow nock as necessary.
To locate these points one or two nock locators may
be fitted. In addition attachments are permitted on the
string to serve as a lip or nose mark, a peep-hole, a
peep-hole, hold-in-line device, loop bowstring, etc.
7.3.3.3 An arrow rest, which can be adjustable
NOVEMBER / DECEMBER 2007 - Archer
12
7.3.3.3.1 a moveable pressure button, pressure point or
arrow plate, may all be used on the bow provided that
they are not electric or electronic. The pressure point
will be placed no further than 6cm back (inside) from
the throat of the handle (pivot point of the bow).
7.3.3.4 Draw check indicators, audible and/or visual
may be used provided they are not electric or electronic.
7.3.3.5 A bow sight attached to the bow
7.3.3.5.1 which may allow for windage adjustment
as well as an elevation setting, which may also incorporate a levelling device, and/or magnifying lenses
and/or prisms. Electric or electronic devices are not
permitted.
7.3.3.5.2 A bow sight extension is permitted. The sight
point may be a fibre optic sight pin and/or a chemical
glowstick. The glowstick will be encased so as not to
disturb other athletes and to provide only one sight
point.
7.3.3.6 Stabilizers and torque flight compensators,
7.3.3.6.1 provided that they do not: Serve as a string
guide;
I guess the point is set up your equipment within the
rules and there will be no problems at the equipment
inspection time.
You can look up the rules at http://www.fca.ca/
rules/ and you should!
