7 Offbeat Tactics for Archers

7 Offbeat Tactics for Archers
August 18, 2008
by  Dr. Todd Kuhn
Summary
Archery is a sport much like golf. It takes a significant time commitment to become proficient. These 7 tactics will help you stay on the green.
Practice is essential for hunting accuracy. However, after a while, shooting the same target, the same way, day after day, can get boring. If your practice time has gotten stale, try these offbeat tactics to tighten your groups and put a bit of spice back into your shooting sessions.

1. Shoot the Dots
I cringe every time I hear a bow-hunter say, “I ignore the antlers and pick out a hair.”

Really? You pick out a hair?
In reality, most bow-hunters have a “pie plate” mentality. If they can hit a pie plate at 20 yards, they’re happy. Sure, I agree with the principle of picking a hair. But unless you practice correctly, you’ll never pull it off.
Next time you’re at the local mega-mart, pick up a roll of ½-inch fluorescent stick-on target dots. Place several on your target and shoot at these instead of the large bullseyes. Shooting small dots increases your ability to narrow your focus on a much larger target.

2. Practice in Pairs
Next time you shoot, invite a buddy over (make sure they’re a competent archer). Then, take turns watching each other shoot. Check for a smooth of draw, relaxed grip, consistent anchor point, solid stance and proper follow-through. Stand to the side of the shooter, watching them, not the target. The idea is to analyze form, not where the arrows hit.

3. A Long Shot
A great way to improve accuracy is to increase your practice distance. While you read this often, it’s rare I meet someone who has given it a try.
If you’re comfortable to 20 yards, move your target to 40. If you’re confident to 40, move your target 80. Exponentially increasing your practice distance exposes your shooting ills. At 20 yards, torquing the grip usually isn’t noticeable. Move back to 40 and torque it. You’ll know.

When you are confident at longer distances, you’ll be amazed at how confident and consistent you will be for closer shots. You might also find yourself adding another pin to your sight.

4. We’re Stumped
When things get boring, I like to grab a handful of judo points and head to the woods with friends for some stump shooting.

Stump shooting is exactly what the name implies. Your targets are stumps, dead trees, rocks, pine cones, knots and whatever else tickles your fancy. The rules of the game are simple: Each participant calls a target and each person takes a turn shooting. Oh yeah, don’t use your range-finder until everyone has shot.
Stump shooting breaks the monotony of shooting the same old target, and it sharpens your ability to judge distance.

5. Shoot Some Foam
When foam 3-D targets first caught on, I read somewhere that they were the cure for buc...

Archery Program Teaching Tomorrow's Hunters

Archery Program Teaching Tomorrow's Hunters
September 02, 2008
by  Roy Grimes


God answers prayers, kids love archery, teachers care about students and conservation professionals recognize the power of the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) to grow the shooting sports. An awful lot is right with the world!

NASP quietly celebrated its "iron" (a.k.a. 6th) anniversary on March 3, 2008. The number of schools that have adopted NASP is 3,900 percent greater than the original objective ­ 4,700 vs. 120 schools.

There are 84 percent more states in the program, eight months sooner than planned — 46 vs. 25 — and four more countries have adopted NASP than anticipated — Australia, Canada, South Africa and New Zealand.

According to NASP coordinators, 3.2 million students have taken NASP lessons. Since inception, 15,000 teachers have been certified as Basic Archery Instructors to present NASP lessons by an army of 1,000 Basic Archery Instructor Trainers.

We are pleased that half the NASP states have established a culminating event, or as known in the archery world, a state NASP tournament. Counting region, state and national competitions, more than 25,000 NASP students sent more than 1,000,000 arrows 10 and 15 meters to the 80-centimeter FITA target in 2008. Laid end to end these Easton Genesis arrows would extend 473 miles — from Louisville, Kentucky to Madison, Wisconsin!

While the most exciting occurrence in NASP is the addition of new schools and their students, we continue to also work on making NASP a more sustainable organization. One of the greatest challenges educators face at potential NASP schools is funding for archery equipment.

Administrators are eager to implement the program after hearing how safe it is and how students respond so positively. Teachers are excited to go through NASP training to become better archers and instructors. Thanks to the generosity of...
