AT has a thread about a new mag just for tournament archery. Heres the thread for it. http://www.thetournamentarcher.com/ It is expensive, but has the top pro writing in it. Sounds like it should be a good read, without a lot of ads.

Here just a small example of the magazine articles.

Well this is one paragraph from Tim Gillingham I just grabbed at random...This is his article for next month. This isn't the main paragraphs...just a piece is all.

For Field Archery, I go back to my LP Light and a .019 blue fiber (blue is the only color with a clarifier that does not halo out on me). I want to be versatile for the different lighting conditions and I want a little bigger dot. Notice how I color the fiber with a marker on the end and then cut it clean with a razor blade and just bump it slightly with a lighter. This creates a black ring around the blue or whatever color you are using and usually cleans up the edges of the fiber and helps prevent the haloing effect. (picture5) A lot of guys will use a two color dot so that they can see it on all target surfaces. One of the keys to outdoor shooting is to balance the bow or adjust the sight in a manner where you naturally level the bow. If you close your eyes and come to anchor and the sight is not perfectly level(on flat ground) then adjustments in the balance of the bow or the sight bar need to be made to facilitate this(picture6) I try to imagine the spot the same as a 3-d target and pick a small spot in the center of the spot. This keeps me hyper-focused and prevents my mind from wandering during the aiming process. If you can visualize a clear picture of what you want to take place you will have a much better chance of accomplishing it. If you are lazy and undisciplined in your shot routine, then your mind will wander and that is where the mistakes come into play. The key to good field scores is no mistakes. Visualize exactly what you are going to do at the stake. If it is a fan, then make sure you visualize your self shooting a shot and then moving to the next stake and so on. That will cost you much more that any aiming mistakes.

That just cracks me up every time I see Darrin Christenberry on a web site or TV commercial. We've known each other since we were 7 years old. We went to school together most of our lives. Just seems strange seeing him as a celebrity. I'm glad for him though. He is a great archer and really good guy.

Just like many of the pros today. I watched Nathan Brooks grow from a youth shooter to the pro today. Very proud of him and his accomplishments.
Darrin is always fun to visit with and he is one heck of a shooter. Loved seeing him shooting on the beachs at Aussie land. He done well in archery thats for sure.

Dan McCarthy lives about 25 miles from me. I can remember the first time i shot with him, he was 16 and still kicked my A$$. Some people at local shoots would say he must be a pencil whipper because his scores were so good. I'd tell them he will be a pro someday. When he worked at Cabelas in Praire Du Chien, I asked him to judge a full body mount half way across the store, and i checked it with a range finder. He judged it to a half a yard, and he was right. Amazing!!! I think this magazine will be worth the price if we get some of their insight and knowledge. JMO
