8/16/2008: A finger sling is integral to advancing in archery skills - one does not hold a bow, one leans against it. Once the arrow is loosed, the finger sling prevents the bow from falling to the ground.  A video showing how to tie  a finger sling using a shoe lace has been added to the Documents section of our site. Thanks to James Cosimini of Brandeis Archery for providing this video.
8/15/2008: The next major archery event for the US will be at the same venue as the just-completed Olympic Competition, for the Paralympics.  Ranking Rounds begin on September 9th.  I will post photos and blawg from Beijing (hopefully, if the censors permit it).  here is the link for the Para Archery home page.  Watch this space for more.

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

You can now access the JOAD Resources page directly by simply going to http://www.joad.org.  A gentleman in Alaska  has held that domain for a couple of years but hadn't put up a page, and graciously allowed the transfer of this domain name.   His last name?    BOWMAN.   His first name?  JOAD.   And no, he is not an archer.  Just one heck of a nice guy, who found the coincidence as strange as I did.  Joad Bowman.   The world is indeed an interesting place, and thanks to Joad for transferring the domain.
