2012 ASAA Board of Governors Report, November 2012

11/13/2012 7:58:44 AM

The Arizona State Archery Association leadership has been busy with a variety of activities:

two of the three open ASAA BOG positions.

service contributing to the ASAA community.

3. Joe Silvasi (crossbow) has volunteered to lead an ad hoc task group to focus on a dedicated association need.
Joe ran for BOG this past election.

4. The 2012 Duel in the Desert took place at Ben Avery Nov 10-11. California won the women’s, men’s and overall
competition. We thank the volunteers to help us fill almost a full team.

5. The ASAA BOG is in the process proposing a Duel Rules revisions. Example changes in format may include:
a. Equality between compound and recurve (and genders)
b. Including Master and Cadet distances
c. Utilizing contemporary World Archery formats such as sets and team rounds
d. Allowance for CA and AZ teams to have out of state archers join their teams
e. Administrative review of fees, etc.
f. The intent is to have a new format in place for 2013 or suspend Arizona participation.

10. The recent new interest in archery was able to be managed by ASAA clubs thanks to years of implementation to allow Arizona to readily train instructors and coaches. The key was to develop instructors and coaches that could teach and train more to become certified. The ASAA did so by providing grants to those that were willing to take their time to do so. Key USAA Archery National Training System instruction and coach resources that contribute including via the National JOAD camp Chandler Regional are:
a. Ed Votruba
b. Mike Cullumber
c. Kari Granville
d. Eric Bennett
e. Mel Nichols
f. Gary Yamaguchi

Results of 2012 ASAA STate FITA Field Championships

10/22/2012 10:44:52 PM

Results of the 2012 Arizona State Archery Association
FITA Field Adult and JOAD State Championship

     The 2012 FITA Field State Championship was held at Usery Mountain Regional Park on October 20 and 21. Over thirty archers competed in the two day contest with many challenging shots on rugged terrain. The first day of competition tested the archer's accuracy for shooting uphill, downhill, across dry deep desert washes at targets from unknown distances between 5 meters to 50 meters. The second day of competition the distances are marked but are longer. Targets only 20 centimeters wides that were hard enough at 5 meters were moved out to 15 meters. The archers had a sunny day on Saturday with temperatures rising throughout the morning of competition. Sunday was sunny, however, stong winds blew in and all archers had to adjust and "play the wind."
     The JOAD age archers competed with adults at the same targets, under the same conditions, and only slightly closer.
   The 2012 JOAD State Championship results: (Age division per FITA Rules)

The tourney was well attended, 74 registrants, with the youth archers outnumbering the seniors. Lots of activity including Corner Kids, Eric Bennett Paralympic London 2012 memorabilia, and Hoyt Elite Series (R/C) bow raffles for the Steve Yee Benefit.

Behind the line there were many notables in the stands, and or coaching including:

·         KIM Soo Nyung's http://www.archery.org/content.asp?id=1036&me_id=836&cnt_id=6787

·         Eric Bennett, London 2012 Paralympian and Beijing 2008 medalist, who presented the state championship awards plaques

·         USA Olympian and Medalist Rick McKinney

·         USA Olympic Team Coach Mel Nichols

·         USA Olympic Coach Sheri Rhodes

·         USA Olympic Coach Alexander Kirrillov

·         Team leaders and coaches from Paseo Vista, Corner Kidz, Hearn Academy and Desert Sky Archers JOAD teams.

Highlights:

·         A large Tucson contingent was also in attendance.

·         New for 2012 was Crossbow. Two started, one finished.

·         Registration was uneventful others than many were indecisive with regards to duel trials participation.

·         Equipment inspection was also uneventful except for the new crossbow participation.

·         Some new to USA Archery Arizona Members were given verbal instructions on the dress code to reinforce the printed information.

·         Most archers are familiar with music during the competition as is the standard around the world and at national events. Some are not, but are learning.

·         Kona Ice provided a nice refreshment.

Event:

·         Four distance FITA, day one long distances, day two short distances.

·         Day one was shot with slight breezes, temp 80 and low 90s and without a single equipment failure. Lunch break and move target break was one hour long each day.

·         Day two short distances, had two bounce out at the Bowman 20 meter distance.   Weather became windy during the final ends around 1 PM.

The awards ceremony took place as soon as the scorecards were turned in and scores complied on day two. State Championship plaques were presented, name tags to follow.

43 new JOAD Records were set. http://www.azjoad.com/main/Arizona_JOAD_Records_Outdoor_2012-Page2.pdf

The Duel team trails involves a “complex” formula to allow Master and Cadets to compete for the team by using common distance /target face size scores.
