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.

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
