The trophies are just two of the many animals Ellison has hunted, either with a rifle or his preferred weapon, the bow and arrow. "It's much harder with a bow because you have to get so much closer," he said. "With a gun, you can shoot stuff from a thousand yards. I've killed animals at 92 or 93 yards with a bow, but most people aren't going to do it from more than 40 or 50 yards."</div>

"It's something humans have done forever, so there's that whole side of it. But it's also fun. It's exciting. You get to be outside," Ellison said of hunting's allure. "You have to be smarter than the animals, which sounds a lot easier than it is because they smell and hear so much better than we do. You're trying to outsmart them and getting close is just fun. The adrenaline rush I get is better than shooting in tournaments. And the animals taste better."</div>

This summer, though, Ellison, 23, is hunting something much more elusive and precious than a deer, wild boar or javelina: an Olympic gold medal. He has been so committed to this goal, and archery in general, that he first moved to the Olympic training center at age 16, foregoing his last two years of high school to surround himself with Olympians and better develop his skills.</div>

In other words, Ellison would have been a very smart first-round pick in your "Hunger Games" fantasy league. He is now the No. 1 ranked archer in the world.</div>

At the recent Olympic media summit, his marvelously trim fellow athletes prominently wore Ralph Lauren (and in the case of gymnast Nastia Liukin, five-inch black heels), but the husky Ellison wore a weathered baseball cap with a hook on the curved bill. Until recently, he also chewed tobacco. "I'm just a country boy," he said.</div>

The Ellison family has been in Arizona since the 1880s. His grandfather ran a cattle ranch and Brady said he would be working cattle as well were it not for archery.</div>

The sport has been central in Ellison's life since he was in diapers and his father, Alfred Ellison, gave him a toy bow and arrow. Brady remembers receiving his first real bow for Christmas when he was 6 or 7 years old. His mother, Julie Nichols, said there were no "You'll shoot your eye out!" worries in the family because Brady was always surrounded by people who stressed gun and bow safety. Plus, with 20/10 vision, Brady enjoyed somewhat better aim than Ralphie did in "A Christmas Story."</div>

Although Alfred and Julie divorced when Ellison was 2, he and his father bonded during frequent hunting trips in their native Arizona that began before Brady could even speak. Alfred fondly recalls a day in a duck blind when he was aiming at some ducks and Brady startled him from behind by shouting, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" He turned around to see Brady pointing his finger to the sky as if firing a gun. "I shoot, too!" he yelled.</div>

As a child, Ellison suffered with Perthes disease, a condition that affects the hip and required him to wear leg braces when he was in kindergarten. It did not slow him down -- he still ran and played sports and even broke the braces several times, Forrest Gump-like. Afterward, his passion for hunting led to archery tournaments, including some informal competitions against local archers in the family's one-acre backyard in Glendale.</div>

"Everybody would put in $20," Nichols said, "and Brady figured out, 'There are 10 people back here shooting and we're all putting in $20. I can make some money off this just messing 'round with the adults in the backyard.' Half the time he won the money and there was all sorts of trash talk and that's how he grew up in his teenage years."</div>

Ellison's national goals grew out of a 2003 tournament in Colorado where he noticed a number of kids wearing USA shirts. "He asked me, 'Why do they have USA on the back of their shirts?'" Nichols recalled. "I had no idea but I asked around and found out. So I told him, 'These are kids who have finished in the top of the U.S. or made the world team. And when you do that, you get a shirt that says USA with your name on the back.' And he said, 'I think I want one of those.'"</div>

Within a year, Ellison was on the U.S. junior world team (his mother eventually married one of his coaches, Mel Nichols). By 16, he faced an important decision.</div>

He was switching from a compound bow to the less precise recurve bow that is used in Olympic competition. Ellison could continue his development at his home in Arizona or he could move to the Olympic training center and work full time with U.S. coach Kisik Lee as a resident athlete. Even though the latter meant missing his final two years of high school -- proms, homecoming dances, those fun lunch-room cliques -- he decided living at the training center was the way to become the best archer possible.</div>

"It just felt right to be out here shooting my bow all day long," he said. "This was going to be my dream, this was going to be my job, this is what I was going to do the rest of my life."</div>

"It was scary, an unsure thing," Alfred said. "School is always a huge deal to me, even if it's just high school. He had to finish high school there, that was the deal, and he had great people looking over him. You knew the talent was there and just didn't want to let it go to waste."</div>

Ellison took high school courses online, but combined with his training, the process took so long he wound up getting his GED instead. "It was kind of hard because I put archery first and school second," he said. "Which I'll tell you right now was probably one of the worst decisions I made."</div>

On the other hand, he became an Olympian while his old classmates were probably still driving around with graduation tassels dangling from their rear-view mirrors.</div>

"It made me grow up," he said. "I went out there at 16 thinking like any other 16-year-old kid, 'I can do this and do that.' And then you go into an environment where you have all these people who have been training forever. I had all these guys who had been to the Olympics and won medals. And as soon as you step into that atmosphere, you know you can't do what you do anymore. You don't want to be the immature, little 16-year-old kid who messes with everyone. You look up and say, 'This is what I'm supposed to do, this is how I'm supposed to act.'"</div>

"You go from being in a high school scene with a bunch of high school kids to being in a place with a bunch of elite athletes who are 10 years older than me at least. It's an immediate change," he said. "And it was like, all right, I made the decision right then and there, that it's time to grow up.

Ellison joked that his body doesn't look as if he does cardio work, but he does. He devotes eight hours a day to his sport, but considers his focus and mental discipline to be his greatest strengths. He trains with the Mental Management System developed by Lanny Bassham, a 1976 Olympic gold medalist shooter.</div>

Although Ellison first went to Chula Vista with the goal of making the 2012 Olympic team, he was so good he made the 2008 squad at age 19. A labral tear in his hip that stemmed from the Perthes disease required surgery in 2008, but Ellison put it off until after the Olympics. He advanced to the final bracket in Beijing, but did not medal in either the individual or team competition.</div>

Ellison said the hip condition did not affect his shooting during the Games and it certainly has not hurt him since because he has dominated the sport. He's been ranked No. 1 in the world the past two years and won 35 of the 37 world events he entered last year.</div>

He is not who you would want standing before you with an arrow if you were a deer. Nor do you necessarily want him standing between you and a gold medal if you're a competitor.</div>

"He's raised the bar a lot, and other countries and other people here in the U.S. -- myself included -- know we have to shoot better in order to stay competitive," said five-time Olympian Butch Johnson. "He's a very humble person, and has a very good attitude and work ethic. If he keeps those qualities, and continues to love the sport, he could be even better."</div>

"It's been huge for archery," Ellison said. "I know archery shops across the U.S. are sold out in everything. A lot of my friends who run archery shops say they have to turn people away. It has been huge for us in just the exposure of people wanting to try it. I just hope and pray those people won't just try it and leave. Hopefully we'll get a little percentage of those people shooting competitions with us."</div>

Ellison would like to further increase archery's popularity, saying he would welcome becoming a breakout star at the Olympics. "I would like to be the person who can put our sport on the map."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

He may be just a country boy, but he is also very aware of his public visibility. When he got the usual Olympic rings tattoo so many Olympians traditionally do, he had them inked onto his forearm so they are prominently displayed for photographers when he draws his bow. He recently gave up chewing tobacco because he doesn't want to be a bad example for children who might see him on TV. He also regularly donates a share of his winnings to cancer research and used a pink bow on at least one occasion.</div>

"Brady's a great person -- kind, humble, very mature for his age," said Johnson, who is 56. "He's a leader that a lot of other archers, many of whom are his age or older, look up to. He loves his fiancée and is good to the people around him. He always has time for fans, and the success he's had hasn't changed those core values. ... The excitement around him hasn't gone to his head, and he's very strict with himself about being true to who he is and staying humble."</div>

Of course, it would help archery's popularity if competition included shooting an apple off the top of someone's head, possibly a Kardashian.</div>

"Skill-wise, it's a big target and I know I would make it," Ellison said of the William Tell stunt. "I would never do it because too many things could go wrong. Equipment-wise, a limb can break, a rest can break, an arrow can break -- that's just not a chance I would take. If I knew 100 percent that nothing would go wrong with my equipment, I would be comfortable doing it."</div>

Ellison allows archery would be more exciting if the targets exploded after a bull's-eye, "But is it what our sport needs? I don't think so."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

If Michael Phelps hasn't been able to get Americans excited about swimming outside of the Olympics, it's even less likely we will see "Monday Night Archery." But while the Olympics may lack the violent drama of "The Hunger Games," perhaps Ellison's skill, folksy charm and drive to be the best archer who ever lived can at least draw Americans' attention to the sport for a couple days this summer. If so, that could be his most impressive victory of all.</div>

We will strive for Olympic quotas there. Our entire schedule is about that. The women’s and men’s national teams continue training at the facilities of Ankara’s Hacettepe University under the supervision of professors from the sports sciences and technologies department,” Turkish Archery Federation President Abdullah Topaloğlu told Sunday’s Zaman.<br /><br />The national team continues to work hard for the upcoming international competitions and is currently training in Ankara in this year’s fourth training camp. “We keep on working to select the best athletes for the 2011 worlds in Torino. We want to take the best degrees in the Olympics. Making it to the top 16 or eight will be advantageous for our Olympic targets,” the Turkish national team’s coach, Alper Aytaçoğlu, said. Aytaçoğlu further noted that the quotas have not been announced by the International Archery Federation (FITA) but, according to their earlier experiences, the top eight can secure a spot in London 2012 Summer Olympics. Archery is featured in both individual and team categories in the Olympics. “Our squad is a rather young one. We have European champions. We began early to work for the next season. Important days are ahead. The target is 2012 London,” he noted. While recalling the close shots for Olympic medals, Aytaçoğlu added that they are working both psychologically and physically lest they miss a medal this time. Göktuğ Ergin, a Turkish archer who took part in the Summer Olympics, was among the athletes in Ankara, while Natalia Nasaridze, an idol in the field of women’s archery during the 1990s, will join the training camp later, the coach said. Nasaridze had made an Olympic record in the 1996 Olympics; however, she was unable to perform in the finals.<br />Eighteen-year-old archer Begünhan Elif Ünsal has entered Turkey’s sports agenda with her recent achievements and become a hope for an Olympic medal in London.<br />The successful archer became a bronze medalist in the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympics Games, won a silver medal in European Indoor Championship in the Croatian city of Porec and took a bronze medal in a European championship in the teams category.<br />Ünsal started archery eight years ago with her father’s support. “I began earning good degrees as a result of a year of work. Now I must develop my achievements,” the young archer told the Cihan news agency.<br />“I started archery at 10. My elder sister was an archer. Her coach left the city and then my father became an archery coach. I continued for two years. I got a medal in my second appearance at a national competition,” she said.<br />Ünsal aims to work more and win an Olympic medal. İstanbul, Antalya to host major archery events Federation head Topaloğlu said Turkey has always been among the top archery countries and that the nation is in top three in terms of organizational skills. To prove Topaloğlu right, İstanbul is set to host the World Cup finals, one of the most prestigious archery events in the world, in September 2011, while the southern city of Antalya is set to host World Archery Championship in 2013.<br />Topaloğlu further noted that they are happy with the growth of the sport across Turkey.<br />“Interest in archery is increasing nationwide. There used to be 100 to 150 athletes in national competitions, but this figure has risen to 300 to 350 in each category of the competitions nowadays.”<br />He also added that they provide equipment to the cities where archery is taking off.<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Archery as a Turkish tradition </span></strong><br /><br />The sport was practiced in early Turkic states, but the greatest importance was attached to it during Ottoman times. Fatih Sultan Mehmet, the conqueror of İstanbul, concentrated archery activities and the production of bows and arrows in İstanbul’s Okmeydanı (Square of Arrows) district. Subsequent sultans expanded the district by adding additional facilities. Later, a bazaar was opened behind Beyazıt Mosque in İstanbul, where all the manufacturers of archery equipment gathered. Although the sport went into decline during the later periods of the Ottoman Empire and during the early years of the Turkish Republic, numerous attempts have been made to revive the tradition of Turkish archery.<br /><br />Turkey became the 16th member of the International Archery Federation (FITA) in 1955. After the establishment of a national archery federation in 1961, Turkish archers began to represent the country at the international level. There was a brief interruption in the development of the sport in 1982, when the federation was attached to the Turkish Shooting and Hunting Federation. The Turkish Archery Federation was re-established in 1982, and Uğur Erdener became the head of the federation. Erdener would later manage archery throughout the world when he was elected president of FITA in 2005.<br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/"><br /></a><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;">24 October 2010, Sunday<br />ESRA MADEN İSTANBUL </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-size:85%;">- Source :</span> </span><a href="http://www.todayszaman.com/tz-web/news-225223-5-turkish-archers-eye-worldsfor-berths-in-olympics.html"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://www.todayszaman.com/tz-web/news-225223-5-turkish-archers-eye-worldsfor-berths-in-olympics.html</span></a></span> </p>Rıdvan Uzuntaş ;http://www.blogger.com/profile/16556497452383821641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807329328531126615.post-9088029184473927412010-09-24T19:42:00.006+01:002010-10-23T19:15:24.723+01:00Atlı Okçuluk Avrupa Şampiyonası / European Championships of Horsearchery in Belgium 2010<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhIW4dPBer2gQy7W-vudqVr3PRsi8mDcwkzsODoY0RObTk8JEoXZiVr4MGJCxL3zPyZ0Y2TGn8EojyWzaQn9FigZyTaqDkdsaa_h4kcZo7e3tabyM7x83dQTfRcEc2T7jp4V-Fm6optk0/s1600/gkmen.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520553902949588978" style="WIDTH: 320px;

Their aim was to create a true hunting bow inspired by real-life hunting situations. All the components, technologies and performance characteristics had one purpose -- to kill. Bear describes their new Attack as "the Perfect Killer."<br />The Attack is loaded with features, including Max Pre-Load Quad limbs, perimeter weighted E-Cam, Dual Arc Offset String Suppressors, Bear Logo grip, Zero-Tolerance Limb Pockets and pre-stretched Contra-Band HP strings and cables.</div><div><br /><strong>Pre-Loaded Power</strong></div><div>One of the things that will undoubtedly catch your attention when you first lay eyes on the Attack is the profile of Bear's Max Pre-Load Quad limbs. Even at rest, they reach a markedly past parallel position. At full draw, they are just plain radical! Bear engineered the 12-inch Gordon Composite limbs with an extreme pre-load made possible by a uniform distribution of stress across the limb's structure. Sophisticated computer modeling programs allow engineers to identify and eliminate any potential stress "hot spots" before the limb is ever actually made.<br /><br />Once the final design was formulated, limbs were precision CNC ground to spec and thoroughly tested. A set of four limbs is chosen for each Attack based on deflection values to ensure uniformity and consistency. At full draw, the limbs move far past parallel while utilizing the inherent stability and performance characteristics of traditional upright limb pockets. Past parallel limb angles distribute the force from release in equal and opposite directions. The opposing movements of the limbs cancel out leftover shot energy, thereby greatly reducing hand shock, bow vibration and audible shot noise.<br /><br /><strong>E-fficiency</strong></div><div> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoCzlplpRxBj85-X7BM9hwZamjkEVpgqrM8za5SxUXnPPxIp1Bst8CPUiV3CezOgCer3T4fWnnYXfhjcyK9CjdxSLiMD3kkx2VP3je44bV9DKKu3KW30gf2cXejOY_ixwkFT2HRPRV-X0/s1600/bear_0510B.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459125379490494706" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 178px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoCzlplpRxBj85-X7BM9hwZamjkEVpgqrM8za5SxUXnPPxIp1Bst8CPUiV3CezOgCer3T4fWnnYXfhjcyK9CjdxSLiMD3kkx2VP3je44bV9DKKu3KW30gf2cXejOY_ixwkFT2HRPRV-X0/s400/bear_0510B.jpg" border="0" /></a>Bear's new, perimeter weighted E-Cam was designed to produce maximum efficiency and a super smooth draw. The single cam and idler wheel both ride on sealed, stainless steel ball bearings to reduce friction and increase efficiency. Friction is further reduced with Bear's proven asymmetric cable groove, which has a radius on one side to allow the cable to move in and out freely. Letoff is advertised at 80 percent. A set of modules offers draw lengths from 25-30 inches, in half-inch increments. Pre-drilled holes in the cam are clearly marked for proper placement of the adjustable draw stop. Both cam and idler wheel are CNC machined from aluminum and dark green anodized. </div><br /><div><strong>Bonus Features</strong></div><div>Several other features play a supporting role in the success of the Attack. First, the pivoting Zero-Tolerance Limb Pockets serve as <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbKN5pOXMO2cjSboE8mHuxEeISz8j6xWuACjqjabfiFERWy13lu7JyZzX1b1IcAtBGBNEp9FEkMglDal4qTTTrhA4-GFMbegbHSfLg-h8TFOktGTLq_hvCtPAfZgbgGMEf4A_BgRZFJLs/s1600/bear_0510C.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459125039597033074" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 321px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbKN5pOXMO2cjSboE8mHuxEeISz8j6xWuACjqjabfiFERWy13lu7JyZzX1b1IcAtBGBNEp9FEkMglDal4qTTTrhA4-GFMbegbHSfLg-h8TFOktGTLq_hvCtPAfZgbgGMEf4A_BgRZFJLs/s400/bear_0510C.jpg" border="0" /></a>the connecting point at the critical limb-to-riser interface. The bow's overall alignment and ultimate performance depends on this one component. The pockets pivot as the limb bolt is turned, which maintains proper pocket-to-limb alignment throughout the weight adjustment range. A system that utilizes a pivoting pocket rather than a moving limb is generally considered more consistent and precise; and therefore superior.<br /><br />Next on the list is the Bear Logo overmold grip, which is made from a proprietary synthetic material. The grip produces a neutral wrist position and adds warmth for your bow hand on cold days afield. Bear's Dual Arc Offset String Suppressors are mounted to the riser and match the curvature of the pre-loaded limbs as they reach out to the string. The arm of the suppressor is offset from the actual suppression module to increase the cushioning effect and reduce string vibration and noise. The effectiveness of the string suppressor accessory was studied with high-speed photography and tweaked to obtain maximum performance.</div><br /><br /><div></div><div><strong>Impressions</strong></div><div>The Bear Attack performed well in testing with much improved shock and vibration characteristics as compared to the Truth II. A slight bump felt in the handle at the shot was extremely short lived and no notable vibration was detected. As you might expect, the shot noise followed suit with hunt worthy output. The grip, while slightly deeper front to back than I normally prefer, was comfortable at full draw. Bear also hit the mark with a smooth draw cycle, as the attached draw force curve affirms. Overall, the Bear Attack is a solid hunting bow with excellent shooting characteristics and performance results. </div><div> </div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;">- Source : </span><a href="http://www.bowhuntingmag.com/field_tested/BH_bear_0510/#cont"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;">http://www.bowhuntingmag.com/field_tested/BH_bear_0510/#cont</span></a></div></div></div>Rıdvan Uzuntaş ;http://www.blogger.com/profile/16556497452383821641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807329328531126615.post-86209306137213609332010-03-31T07:25:00.005+01:002010-03-31T07:30:29.246+01:00Archery History: The First Compound Bow<div><div><div><div><a title="Permanent Link to Archery History: The First Compound Bow" href="http://archeryreport.com/2010/03/archery-history-compound-bow/" rel="bookmark"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;">Archery History: The First Compound Bow</span></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQsb-65O_gLoqh6ZBJEaDEwDVye8A4qiP-4n7KnLZKGN68aY6h0BT0uZTWDV_uuhw2ZPVf8vEVXjEMTNxN766kEgIu7fH2ApVJtyoG5TDaG4frg1rrHgb9F4XNfOb4ynmWRTHMiuBYFoQ/s1600/first_compound1_small.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454681026279019186" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 293px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQsb-65O_gLoqh6ZBJEaDEwDVye8A4qiP-4n7KnLZKGN68aY6h0BT0uZTWDV_uuhw2ZPVf8vEVXjEMTNxN766kEgIu7fH2ApVJtyoG5TDaG4frg1rrHgb9F4XNfOb4ynmWRTHMiuBYFoQ/s400/first_compound1_small.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a title="View all posts in Archery History" href="http://archeryreport.com/category/archery-history/" rel="category tag"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;">Archery History</span></a><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;">March 24, 2010 1:42 AM </span></div><br /><div>Holless Wilbur Allen changed the face of archery forever when he decided that he could make a better bow by sawing off part of the limbs of a recurve bow and attaching pulleys to the new ends. In the early 1960s this mechanic decided to try improve the current design of bows by using the pulley’s mechanical advantage to pull more weight than normally possible.<br />As Holless was experimenting with different ways of using the pulleys, he discovered that by using one with an offset axle (eccentrics), he created one of the biggest advantages of compound bows, let-off. When coupled with a cam shape instead of a round pulley, the draw length, weight and force curve could be changed and improved.<br />On June 23, 1966 Holless applied for a patent “Archery bow with draw-force multiplying attachments”; in December of 1969 it was granted. Holles joined forces with a current bow manufacturer, Tom Jennings, and the first compound bows began to be manufactured.</div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454681233709282914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 275px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfAPmGQ4Z3bLi83dC0kNWpuoZZOMPPASLZ9jXBQwA2f21-oQTZQv7L1yQo10iwqsGqBWcpGU4d7obISuo2xMsPqYCYgRF1egn_Rxd4c8kPP8KYn2SAetC9zWE3uRdbYhBOOQAyUMVwipw/s400/first_compound2_small.jpg" border="0" /> <div></div><div></div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;">- Source : </span><a href="http://archeryreport.com/2010/03/archery-history-compound-bow/"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;">http://archeryreport.com/2010/03/archery-history-compound-bow/</span></a></div></div></div></div>Rıdvan Uzuntaş ;http://www.blogger.com/profile/16556497452383821641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807329328531126615.post-3673491679353313412010-03-23T23:04:00.000+00:002010-03-23T23:07:59.897+00:00FLY ARCHERY<object width="480" height="360"><param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/video/xcovat"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/video/xcovat" width="480" height="360" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object><br /><b><a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xcovat_menzil-ok-atyyy_sport">Menzil Ok AtıÅ�ı</a></b><br /><i>Yükleyen <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/okculuksporu">okculuksporu</a>. - <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/tr/channel/sport">DiÄ�er spor ve ekstrem spor videolarına göz at.</a></i><br /><br />Kaynak : KemankesgurupRıdvan Uzuntaş ;http://www.blogger.com/profile/16556497452383821641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807329328531126615.post-29371380316466293312009-11-19T20:37:00.003+00:002009-11-22T14:39:32.357+00:00More Info on the Recent World Archery Coaching Seminar<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOKwqhyphenhyphen3y1H-oMW3453wqw9KFxxupsoAmtHNXCrYwmpeP1_U4vUmwnsOP5GUwGHbK1poQ0a0G_iixKELE2THkQxARfIoW-SjmMe5R2qezMNTni-3vCQs6VSTynSYj6sWayFEjagq-v6FU/s1600/1118_Rome2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406937572023723506" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOKwqhyphenhyphen3y1H-oMW3453wqw9KFxxupsoAmtHNXCrYwmpeP1_U4vUmwnsOP5GUwGHbK1poQ0a0G_iixKELE2THkQxARfIoW-SjmMe5R2qezMNTni-3vCQs6VSTynSYj6sWayFEjagq-v6FU/s400/1118_Rome2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;">The 2009 FITA World Archery Coaching Seminar that took place in Rome on 3-6 November was one of the best ever!<br /><br />Volunteers, coaches, specialists, athletes, staff – all the main FITARCO human resources joined forces to make the 4th World Archery Coaching Aeminar a success, and they did!<br /><br />The main goal was to present the reasons behind the success of Italian archery.

Today, not only can you find Apple products throughout the best archery pro shops and in the hands of the top enthusiasts in the country but also in the beginning archer's workshop as well.<br /><br />Whether you're the full-service shop looking to work on different brands of bows, one after another, all day long, or the beginning bowhunter looking to take the next step in your bow tuning, Apple Archery has everything you need to set up and work on today's newest compound bows. In 2009, Apple Archery introduced the new Edge Economy Bow Press.<br />With an affordable price tag of just $299, the full-size Edge is engineered to eliminate limb twist and do most major setup work needed to get shooting. Constructed of steel with a powder coat finish, the Edge offers limb tip and conventional compression press options for perfect compatibility with different limb styles. It also features adjustable limb pocket posts for long and short risers, and for those Bowtech shooters, presses all center pivot compound bows.<br /><a href="http://www.bowhuntingmag.com/gear/useful_tools/BH_press_1009/#cont"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://ad.doubleclick.net/click;h=v8/38d4/0/0/%2a/s;214061543;4-0;0;24804047;4307-300/250;32386579/32404455/1;;~sscs=%3fhttp://www.thesportsmanchannel.com/" target="_blank"></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397598798924378322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 279px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKLM4GShyphenhyphentYb7YpmHm9qx9_pUn2h5s4AC2NPu8m-9jFOGblr-VWiV4raUQSMd_4ZQoAqcbJhB8zH-cuV7WiyjqLpNHXGOU9EA9lo17exAjSu3WN43AvdxMv5Ylzng8I5dW9jDj6zd5kOk/s400/press.jpg" border="0" /><br />The press is easy to set up and in less than 30 minutes I had it put together and pressing a LimbSaver DZ-30. The press provided plenty of pressure to the limbs and easily allowed me to install a peep sight and tether my drop-away cord through the buss cable. Due to the short length of the beyond parallel limbs on my DZ-30, I chose to use the limb tip compression system.<br />Each limb tip assembly can be independently adjusted to fit perfectly to the widths of limbs on all bows. The conventional compression system works best for bows with longer limbs and the adjustable press arm allows custom limb/post placement for safe use and perfect pressing.<br /></div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;">Contact: Apple Archery Products, LLC, 60 Leigh Drive, York, PA 17406; 800-745-8190; <strong><a href="http://www.applearchery.com/">www.applearchery.com</a> </strong></span></div><div><strong><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"></span></strong> </div><div><strong><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;">- Source : <a href="http://www.bowhuntingmag.com/gear/useful_tools/BH_press_1009/#cont">http://www.bowhuntingmag.com/gear/useful_tools/BH_press_1009/#cont</a></span></strong></div>Rıdvan Uzuntaş ;http://www.blogger.com/profile/16556497452383821641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807329328531126615.post-54566228856934008452009-10-01T23:52:00.004+01:002009-10-01T23:59:40.047+01:00The Archery Book from Coach KIM Yung-Tak<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCpbNTwS1f-Wy8nCZpVxNkx_GRGa7IKbhWOHtJhaGjW9gaYyqXw698nbPHm2XBOXwIXXxBVd1fqtgL0NaqHWJIRUx_6PMj3GipZU280VUgykQvLW_XqxYl2Hop2604ZrPDKGvia1hyYGA/s1600-h/kim+kitap.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387769378239841074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 180px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCpbNTwS1f-Wy8nCZpVxNkx_GRGa7IKbhWOHtJhaGjW9gaYyqXw698nbPHm2XBOXwIXXxBVd1fqtgL0NaqHWJIRUx_6PMj3GipZU280VUgykQvLW_XqxYl2Hop2604ZrPDKGvia1hyYGA/s320/kim+kitap.jpg" border="0" /></a>Korean traditional archery is centuries old but whet the Korean nation started to embrace modern archery Hyung-Tak Kim decided to follow this trail and was one of the first Koreans to study and analyse this type of archery.<br /><br />It was not long before his shooting skills were imported into coaching were his skills have been appreciated by the Korean archers for around 40 years. All the technical knowledge he has gained over the years has been passed on to archers and coaches alike through the many training courses and seminars he has conducted. This knowledge has helped Korea to excel in the sport of archery and be one of the major players in the Recurve division. Hyung-Tak Kim’s wealth of knowledge is now being funnelled through archery the training centre he is currently running in Goesan-gun in central Korea.When the Korean archery team first took part in the Olympic Games, he was head coach for the Women’s National team and was delighted when they won the gold medal. He showed excellent performance as a head coach of the Korean National Women’s archery team, but was enticed away to coach the Taiwan National Archery Team in 1989. He worked for the Taiwan National Archery Federation from 1989 to 1997 as a head coach; during this time he raised their profile to be one of the world’s top teams. Currently, Hyung-Tak Kim is coaching Korean coaches through many seminars he is conducting in his position as research director of Korean Archery Association.<br /><br /> He opened his training centre in 2004, and over 500 archers from around 30 countries have been trained by him, many rewarding him by producing good results at World Cup Tournaments, World Championships, Olympic Games, and European Championships.<br /><br />Now he has published his archery book which focuses on how to learn and coach archery with ease, it brings to life his long experience and advanced skills of archery coaching. Each person can discover his teaching techniques from the basics to top levels through this tool where he is presenting problems and solutions in a precise and practical form.<br /><br />This book, called “Kim, Hyung-Tak Archery”, will provide guidance for coaches and archers alike who want to improve their performance as he is providing accurate and basic technology of learning and step by step coaching methods.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;">- JVD DistributionVan Schagenstraat 6-85154PG ElshoutThe Netherlands - Les Pays-BasTel: (0031) (0)416 377 112Fax: (0031) (0)416 378 141Email: </span><a href="mailto:derkboer@jvd.nl"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;">derkboer@jvd.nl</span></a><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;">www.jvd.nl - </span><a href="http://www.bow-sales.com/"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;">www.bow-sales.com</span></a><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;">- Lancaster Archery SupplyTradTech Archery2195-A Old Philadelphia PikeLancaster, PA 17602(800) 829-7408 x 210 Fax 717-431-1779</span><a href="mailto:717-431-1779robk@lancasterarchery.com"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;">robk@lancasterarchery.com</span></a><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;">- Archery Life90, Sukhwa-Li, Yangsung-Myun, Ansung City, KoreaTel. +82 11 9009 3594 Fax +82 31 674 7766 Email : </span><a href="mailto:sales@archerylife.com"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;">sales@archerylife.com</span></a><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;">- Morten Holm-NielsenGimli-store, Denmarkwww.Gimli-store.dkCoach Kim Archery Training Center175 Goesanub Goesangun Chung Buk KoreaTel: 82-43-834-6060, Fax:82-834-7171 Mp: 82-10-4007-4263 www.archeryschool.comarcheryschool@</span><a href="mailto:archeryschool.comarcheryschool@gmail.com"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;">archeryschool.com</span><a href="mailto:archeryschool@gmail.com"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;">archeryschool@gmail.com</span></a></a><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;">- Dragon archerywww.dragonarchery.com And archery company.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong><span style="font-size:78%;">Source : </span></strong><a href="http://www.archeryschool.com/board03.htm?gid=1999757000"><strong><span style="font-size:78%;">http://www.archeryschool.com/board03.htm?gid=1999757000</span></strong></a></span>Rıdvan Uzuntaş ;http://www.blogger.com/profile/16556497452383821641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807329328531126615.post-89139708059830047562009-09-11T03:36:00.014+01:002009-09-24T22:37:36.603+01:00Atlı Okçuluk Avrupa Şampiyonası / European Championships of Horsearchery in Germany 2009<div align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBG2JgFEiHZyBHmnKe6t2_Fm5U-qYZYiUTY7PLmdfye9cRM3v9XjPHc86qeXsuzhT6MFBHDOhrKKUYUKzNsS24ZQggk-fKukAA0ZVUUYqxVPNV01dzCKy4HwgFeqy8qQXA1s9kUS5NdNE/s1600-h/ATLI+OK%C3%87U.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380045062534757586" style="DISPLAY: block;

Türkiye geleneksel spor dalları federasyonunun 'okçulukgeleneksel spor dallarımıza dahil değil' demesi bizi çıldırttı, diğersponsorlardan da olumsuz cevap geldi. Sonuçta arkadaşlarım olmadangideyim mi gitmeyeyim mi diye düşündüm ama Türk (atlı) okçuluğunudünyaya tanıtma hedefimizde küçük de olsa bizi bir adım ilerigötüreceğini düşündüm. Ayrıyetten bu müsabaka için uzun zamandırhazırlanıyordum. </span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">03.09. Perşembe 8.25 uçağı ile İstanbul'dan Frankfurt'a gittim, sonrauzun tren yolculuğu ile Bamberg'e geldim, oradan organizatörler benialdı yine bir yarım saat araba seyahati ile 15.30 gibi müsabakayerindeydim. Gelen takımlarla tanıştım ve ufak tefek hazırlıklardayardım ettim. Akşama takımlar kendilerini sunumlarla tanıttılar. Atlıokçulukta başı çeken Kore'dir, daha birkaç hafta önce Kore'de yapılandünya atlı okçuluk festivali 83.000 $'a mal olmuş ve tüm bu parayıbirsürü sponsorlar üstlenmiş. En büyük destekçileri ve sponsorları(Güney) Kore devleti. Atlı okçuluğu kültürlerinin önemli bir parçasıve birçok Kore dövüş sanatları arasında görüyorlar. UNESCO ilegörüşüyorlar dünya çapında bunu daha farklı boyutlara çekmek için!Ayrıca Sokcho'daki atlı okçuluk tesislerini büyütüyorlar yeni yerlerinşa ediyorlar. Atlı okçu topluluğu olmayan Almanya'da 100'den fazlaaktif atlı okçu var. Müsabakalarda Macar ve Kore disiplinlerindenbıkmışlar ve kabak oyunu gibi yeni, seyircileri daha çok etkileyecekşeyler arayışındalar. Organizatörlerle EOCHA müsabakasında kabak oyunuhakkında baya konuştum. Örn. yarışmacılara iki gruba ayırıp direğeiçinde kuş bulunan kafes dikip yarıştırma fikri çok hoşlarınagitti.Tabi kafesin altı ok geçirmez olup bir mekanizma olabilir. Sonraben sunumumu yaptım bol resim ve kaynak gösterdim, Göktürk, Selçukluve Osmanlı ve bugün Türkiye'de atlı okçuluğumuzu anlattım. Atlıokçuluk disiplinleri, Osmanlı ve Selçuklu'da atlı okçu çeşitlerinianlattım. Bu arada bol bol Sivas cündilerinden ve hünerlerindenbahsettim ve resimler gösterdim. Sunum öyle beğenildi ki o ana kadarbana karşı biraz soğuk davranan Kore'liler tercüman ile sunumu çokbeğendiklerini defalarca dile getirdiler. Diğer ekiplerden de sonradanyanıma geldiler ve tebrik ettiler. Milletin ağzı açık kaldı, hiçbirmilletin bu kadar önemli bir atlı okçuluk tarihi yok. Böyle birgeçmişe göre başı çeken aslında Kore değil biz olmalıydık... </span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Cuma günü sabahtan pansiyonda kahvaltıda tesadüfen Kore ekibiylekarşılaştım, birdaha Türk atlı okçuluğuna ve gördükleri resimlerehayran kaldıklarını söylediler. Kore dövüş sanatı olan Tekvando'da 2dan'ımın olduğunu ve Avrupa'da birsürü ülkede dövüştüğümü söyleyincezati derin saygılarını uyandırdım ve son buzlarda eridi. Baya oturdukve konuştuk bir sürü soruları vardı, odadan Ünsal Yücel kitabımıgetirdim ve resimlerin üstünden geçtik. Bilhassa kabak oyununusevdiler ve bir resimde donup kaldılar; atın eğerine ip ile bir topbağlayıp arkaya topa ok atan süvari resmi. Bunun ikili varyasonunu'Mogu' olarak kendileri oynuyorlar çünkü. Kaynağında 'Murakka'yazıyordu ancak daha fazla bilgi, senesi ve Osmanlı mı yoksa Memlük müyazmıyordu. Bunu acaba araştırabilir miyiz?Kitabı benden satın almak istediler ben tabiiki onlara hediye ettim.Kitabı UNESCO ile görüşmelerinde kullanacaklarını söylediler. </span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDpxThoRkIs-lBU4CkzaNG-vTCVw_017roSkeqCYhuEBgbaY_2q6rtzNWAy9lpUWF1MIIwP9XnJJU-b-bCYzdhUXfIDn4vlfyFa_k3ZsJd-uS91d6diM5Uy2BrnzUOKPj8iOiEmv_oQPQ/s1600-h/ben2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380037399436992146" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDpxThoRkIs-lBU4CkzaNG-vTCVw_017roSkeqCYhuEBgbaY_2q6rtzNWAy9lpUWF1MIIwP9XnJJU-b-bCYzdhUXfIDn4vlfyFa_k3ZsJd-uS91d6diM5Uy2BrnzUOKPj8iOiEmv_oQPQ/s400/ben2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Sonra müsabaka yerinde atları seçtik ve bir iki prova dörtnallarıyaptık, amaç güvenlik nedeniyle organizatörlerin herkesin dizginleribırakarak dörtnala gitmesinden emin olması. Bazı insanlar kendiatlarını getirmiş ama birçoğu da kiraladı, bir ata 3-4 binicidüşüyordu. İşte burada işin püf noktaları başlıyor; geçen sene iyiolan binicilere at seçiminde öncelik verdiler ve hızlı atlar öncedenkapıldı. Öğleden sonra bir yağmur indirdi ve tüm aktiviteleridurdurdu. Ben Fransız ekibiyle Kafe'de oturdum, sunumun birdahaüstünden geçmemi istediler. Fransızca olarak birdaha anlattım ve Türkokçuluğu hakkında da uzun uzun konuştuk. Bu arada anneannemin dediği'bir lisan bir insan' çok doğru çıktı; Türk (atlı) okçuluğumuzuFransızlara, Belçikalılara, İsviçrelilere Fransızca olarak anlattım,Almanlara, bazı Macar ve Polonyalılara Almanca anlattım, vediğerlerine İngilizce olarak tanıttım. Birçoğunun İngilizcesi kötüveya hiç yoktu, farklı dillerle onlara ulaşabilmemden dolayıavantajlıydım. Ayrıyetten müsabaka boyunca anonsları bile sadeceAlmanca yaptılar.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Akşama çadırda beraber yemek yendi hediyeler verildi ama öyle biryağmur yağdı ve fırtına koptu ki çadırı zor tuttuk. Hediyelerimiz deilgi çekti, gül suyundan Türk kahvesine, üstünde çevgan oynayancündili resimli kalem kutuları ve çok güzel işlemeli Alaaddin'insihirli lambası gibi eşyalardan lokuma kadar çeşit çeşit hediyelerdağıttım. Hediyelerin temininde yardımcı olduğunuz için çok teşekkürederim. Cumartesi günü resmi açılış oldu, tüm ekipler tarihi atlı okçukıyafetleriyle ve bayraklarıyla geçiş yaptılar, sonra birde dörtnaladalgalanan bayrakla teker teker geçiş yapıldı. İlk defa atlı okçulukmüsabakasında Türk bayrağı dalgalandı, duygulandım. İnsanlarbayrağımıza özel ilgi gösterdiler ve özel alkış ettiler. </span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Cumartesigünü Kore disiplinleri yapıldı ve ilk olarak 90 metrede tek atışyapıldı, herkes iki geçiş yaptı. Oku tirkeşten çekmek gerekiyordu. 90metrenin başında ve sonunda aletlerle zamanı ölçüyorlardı, 84cm x84cmhedeflere atış yapılıyor 5 bölge var, en yüksek puan getiren hedefinortasına olan küçük kavun büyüklüğünde olan kaplan resmiydi (5 puan).90 metreyi 12 saniyede geçmek gerekiyor, altında olursa saniyen kadarartı puan alıyorsun, üstünde olursan saniyen kadar eksi puan. Örn.hedefi vuruyorsun 3 puan alıyorsun ve 9,4 saniyede geçiyorsun,(12-9,4=2,6) yani 3+2,6=5,6 puan alıyorsun. Hızlı atlar müthişavantajda, en hızlı atları Korelilere verdiklerinden örn. 6,5 saniyedegeçiyor kaplanı vuruyor ve 5,5+5= 10,5 puan alıyor. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"></span><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380039057489906098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 238px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-I5ZEwV4Hjv60T9GYEhpK57VhxF1Q0CYX71fx9-eHNkMQbNz-5Qh_IE7YECYK9K8wDNEXgXd_6cHqT4zk_p5bX5ad0nE3zE2-Ol7kmlb1E2IaKwcCCtic42_WkvGBMwvm4VmICizunic/s400/macar+displini+kurallar%C4%B1.jpg" border="0" /> <span style="font-family:times new roman;">Sonra ikili atışlar yapıldı, bir öne doğru biri arkaya atış. Yinezamana puan veriliyor ve hızlı atlar avantajda . Bu iki disiplinde defena değildim 2 kaplan vurdum insanlar baya alkışladı ama atım enyavaş atlardandı, zaman bonusu çok az aldım.Sonra 150 metreye 5 hedef konuldu, 30 metre arayla. Burada 16saniyenin altında olmak gerekiyordu. Oku başlarken hazırgezleyebileceğimi bilmiyordum ilk geçişte. Hızlı atlılar şu stratejiyiizledi: mümkün olduğu kadar hızlı gidip sadece 1,3 ve 5inci hedefe okatıp (hatta bazen sadece üçüncü hedefe attılar) hedef puanından ziyadeiyi bir zaman bonusu kazanmaktı.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Bu müsabakadan sonra Mogu oynanacaktı ancak yine hava planıdeğiştirdi, felaket sağanak yağmur yağdı, atların üstünde yağmurdayarım saat kadar bekledik geçer de Mogu oynarız diye ama boşa. Buarada hava da buz gibiydi 10-12 derece civarı, nefeslerimiz buharolarak gözüküyordu. Sabah güneşe aldanarak ince giyinmiştim. Bir moğolekibi geleneksel kıyafetleri ve müzik aletleri ile güzel moğolparçaları çaldılar, genizden şarkılar söylediler, bayan şarkıcınınsesi en kaba erkek sesinden daha derindi.. Donuma kadar ıslakeşyalarla bunu titreye titreye seyrettim bi yarım saat kadarkaçırmamak için sonra hemen pansiyona gidip yarım saat sıcak bir duşaldım. </span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Pazar günü Macar disiplini vardı, 90 metreyi 16 saniyede geçeceksin ve90cm hedefe önden, yandan ve arkadan atış yapacaksın. Hedef ama 90metrenin tam ortasında yani ilk atarken 45 metre civarı oluyor. Öndenatışta puanlar 2,3,4 ortada 1,2,3, arkaya 3,4,5 puan. Bu disiplindeatabildiğin kadar ok atabilirdin ve okları elinde tutmak serbest. Yinezaman bonusu var ancak 16 saniyeyi geçersen ne olursa olsun 0 puanalıyorsun. Bu defa 2 geçiş değil herkes 6 geçiş yaptı. Hızlı atıolanlar yine aynı stratejiyi yaptı, örn. sadece ortadan attılar 2 puanalıp 6,5 saniyede geçip 9,5 puan da zaman bonusu aldılar toplam 11,5puan (hiç vuramazsan zaman bonusu da olmuyor). Bir de Macarstratejisinde atanlar vardı bunlar da 12 saniye civarı bilerek yavaşgidip 6 ok atabiliyorlardı, okları yay eline önceden özel bir şekilde yerleştiriyorlar. </span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Vakit olmadığından Moguyu en hızlı atlılar oynadı. Biri çok hızlıdörtnala gitti, 5metre ipi çekti ucunda 60 cm bir top, diğer iki atlıda blunt uçları ile topa biraz yaklaşıp vurmaya çalıştı. </span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Sonuçta dereceye giremedim, ama daha iyi puan alabilmek için birsürütecrübem oldu, bunları yaparız yapmayız o ayrı konu.Yarışmacıların kullandıkları küçük 'kolaylıklar'</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">1. At seçimi, en iyisi kendi atın, alıştığın at, hızlı at genelde dahaiyi. Zaman puanları kazanıyorsunuz. Ve at ne kadar hızlı koşarsa okadar az sallanır.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">2. Gezler: bunların gezleri kirişi tutan yerden sonra iki tarafa doğru45 derecede açılıyor. Böylece gezlemek çok daha kolay oluyor. Ancak buşekilde bizim başparmak çekişi ile zor atılır, çünkü gezin ucu elebatar gibi geliyor bana, kore başparmak çekişi ile olur.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">3. Arkalık kullanmıyorlar ok nereye gezlenirse öyle atıyorlar. Kirişe7-8 cm bir muşamba sarıp yapıştırmışlar, El için deri dekullanmıyorlar bi işaret parmaklarını bant ile sarıyorlar muşambasızyere denk geldiği için. Yaylar zati çok düşük libreli.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">4. Okları hazır yay elinde tutuyorlar, Koreli arkadaşlar bile buMacar/Kassai stilini kullanıyorlar. Koreli'nin sırası gelmeden öncekonuştuk, doğru olmadığını söyledi, aslında o da okları kiriş elindetuttuğunu ama bu 'spor' için daha hızlı olduğundan yay elindenbeslediğini anlattı ve bana gösterdi. Ben yine de Türk okçuluğumuzutanıtmak açısından kiriş elimden besledim, 90 metrede en fazla 3 okatabildim. İyi de oldu, onlar için bu 'yeni' stil ilgi çekici, dahaşimdi katılımcılardan biriyle yazıştım, bu stili çok beğendiğini vedaha üstün olduğunu söyledi, ve hemende forumlarına yazmış. Birazgezlerlede oynayıp daha hızlı olmak lazım.. Avrupa şampiyonu MacarChristoph Nemethy yay elinde okları tutarak Kassai stili ile 12 saniyegibi bir zamanda 6 ok atıyor.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">5. Aynı setup'ta antrenman; yarışmacıların çoğu hergün EOCHAstandartlarındaki mesafelere hedeflere yani aynı parkurda ve setup'taantrenman ediyor. Resim galerisinde hem Kore hem Macar disiplini içinstandartları göreceksiniz. Yani tüm atışlarda oku ne kadar havayadikeceklerini biliyorlar. Atın parkuru zamanında bitirmesi içinhızlarını biliyorlar. Bilhassa Macar stilinde çok farkediyor. 45metrede oku ne kadar havaya dikecesin ve hedefin ne kadar solunaatacaksın bunu aynı setup'da hergün antrenman etmek lazım. Bu aradaatlı atışlarda sola doğru atışta hızınıza bağlı ve atış açısına göreok sağa sapar. Bundan dolayı atın hızı, atış açısı ve mesafesi önemlifaktörler.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">6. Yayların çekiş gücü genelde 28-40 libre arası, küçük parmakla bileçekilebiliyor, ben 60 libre kullandım sorun olmadı.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">7. Eyer; ilk günü İngiliz eyeriyle bindim, ikinci günü macar eyeriyle.Macar eyeri müzedeki türk eyerlerine göre daha dar, neredeyse önden vearkadan bastırıyor.

You can see mythological figures such as Apollo or Eros carrying bows and arrows. If we must stay within the borders of Turkish history, we can see that the sport was practiced in early Turkish states, but the greatest importance was attached to it during Ottoman times.<br /><br />Fatih Sultan Mehmet, the conqueror of İstanbul, concentrated archery activities and the production of bows and arrows in İstanbul's Okmeydanı (Square of Arrows) district. Subsequent sultans expanded the district by adding additional facilities. Later, a bazaar was opened behind Beyazıt Mosque in İstanbul where all the manufacturers of archery equipment gathered. Although the sport went into decline during the later periods of the Ottoman Empire and during the early years of the Turkish Republic, numerous attempts have been made to revive the tradition of Turkish archery.<br />Turkey became the 16th member of the International Archery Federation (FITA) in 1955. After the establishment of a national archery federation in 1961, Turkish archers began to represent the country at an international level. There was an interruption in the development of the sport in 1982, when the federation was attached to the Turkish Shooting and Hunting Federation. The Turkish Archery Federation was re-established in 1982, and Uğur Erdener became the head of the federation. Erdener would later manage archery throughout the world when he was elected president of FITA in 2005.<br /><br />After being honored by Erdener's election as the new president of FITA, Turkish archery has turned its focus to earning medals in the upcoming 2012 Olympic Games in London. “We, as the Turkish Archery Federation, aim to be more successful. We are distinguished among other archery federations in that our former president is now the president of FITA. We are very proud of this. Now, we want to win medals at the Olympic games. Our best Olympic score was fourth place in the 2000 Sydney Olympics. We were very close to winning a medal, but we did not,” Turkish Archery Federation President Abdullah Topaloğlu, who has a 32-year history in the sports world in Turkey and has served in numerous posts of various federations, told Sunday's Zaman.<br /><br />‘Archery is an expensive sport'<br /><br />Even though archery has a significant place in Turkish history, there are not many archers in the country today -- there are around 7,000 registered archers in the federation -- because the sport is expensive, said Topaloğlu, noting that they are working to develop archery in the country. “We have around 270 trainers who were brought up in the federation's courses. But we cannot use them efficiently. Only 70 or 80 of them are actively working,” he said. Apart from financial obstacles, Turkey also suffers from a lack of archery facilities. Because the sport has few practitioners, those who do practice archery do not have many facilities to choose from. “We have a facility in Antalya, and archers can practice there for the entire day. We plan to establish such facilities in Ankara and İzmir, too. We work in cooperation with the metropolitan municipalities of some provinces where there is the potential for practicing archery. Other federations cooperate with the Education Ministry, but we cannot spread the sport to all schools since TL 1,000 to 1,500 is needed for each student of archery. For such reasons, we approach the development and expansion of the sport regionally in Turkey,” Topaloğlu elaborated.<br /><br />The federation's president further said the interest of Turkish people in archery is gradually rising due to the international archery competitions held in Turkey, especially after the TV broadcasts of the World Archery Cup, which took place earlier this month in the southern province of Antalya. “We received a lot of calls asking for information about the courses offered by the federation. We are trying to meet the demand. Also, around 350 children applied to the Juniors Cup -- which started yesterday and ends today. We are witnessing such a large number of applications for an archery competition for the first time. It is promising. They are the future archers,” Topaloğlu said.<br /><br />Turkish archer survives after arrow enters his head<br /><br />An interesting incident occurred in Turkey in 2004. Archery enthusiast Hakan Budak accidently shot his friend, Cem Balcı, in the head while they were practicing the sport as a hobby. Balcı underwent an operation and was unconscious for 11 days, but he survived. Stating that he was at fault for the accident, Balcı told the Anatolia news agency: “Such an accident has occurred three times in the world so far. If I had obeyed the rules, the arrow would not have struck my head.” He also stressed that the sport is safe and that no one should be afraid to practice it.<br /><br />Topaloğlu agrees with Balcı about the safety of the sport. “Those who open an archery facility must have a trainer's certificate, and safety precautions must be taken in the field. Such an accident had never happened before in Turkey. It is not about the nature of the sport, which is normally harmless. The accident occurred solely due to a personal mistake,” he explained.<br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:78%;"><strong>21 June 2009, Sunday - ESRA MADEN - İSTANBUL</strong></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><strong>- Source</strong> : </span></span><a href="http://www.todayszaman.com/tz-web/detaylar.do?load=detay&link=178621&bolum=127"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:78%;">http://www.todayszaman.com/tz-web/detaylar.do?load=detay&link=178621&bolum=127</span></a></div>Rıdvan Uzuntaş ;http://www.blogger.com/profile/16556497452383821641noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807329328531126615.post-59714026339733302702009-06-12T06:57:00.007+01:002009-06-12T07:12:10.163+01:00Compound Bows - 43 Years in the Making<div align="right"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;">- Resim : Rıdvan UZUNTAŞ</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5A0g2yuDZTBEHC4njvADmSWp1UxKra44bE5D5S1TXLqI4bNP7_L9hC2EznSi0X4KihwyTjwRXmcgcuK7g53_yJAIEAEbczsfPvTuT42RgcE6fOYbfPqAV0eEusN6DWAY49oIFvTlkEVg/s1600-h/CAM.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346317979312976514" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 229px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5A0g2yuDZTBEHC4njvADmSWp1UxKra44bE5D5S1TXLqI4bNP7_L9hC2EznSi0X4KihwyTjwRXmcgcuK7g53_yJAIEAEbczsfPvTuT42RgcE6fOYbfPqAV0eEusN6DWAY49oIFvTlkEVg/s320/CAM.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><p><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;">Compound Bows - 43 Years in the Making<img class="gl_photo" alt="Resim Ekle" src="http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif" border="0" /><br />June 9th, 2009 ·<br />by Bart Icles<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">A compound bow is a bow of the modern age that uses a levering system usually consisting of cables and pulleys to bend the limbs. The limbs of a compound bow are much stiffer than that of the recurve bow or long bow. This quality or state of stiffness makes the compound bow much more energy efficient than other conventional bows; such as design have limbs that are too stiff to be drawn, hence, has the strings attached to a pulley system or also known as cams, of which one or both have one or more cables attached to the other end. This levering system enables the archer to hold the bow fully drawn and take more time to aim. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:verdana;">The compound bow is much more superior compared to other bows because it isn’t affected by temperature and humidity changes and its more accurate, faster, and has longer range. <strong><span style="font-size:85%;">The first compound bow was developed in 1966 by Holless Wilbur Allen in Missouri and given a US patent in 1969. </span></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:verdana;">The compound bows’ riser is usually made of aluminum or magnesium of the aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum alloy. It is the central mount for other components such as the limbs, sight, stabilizers, and quivers. Limbs are made out of composite materials and are able to withstand high tensile and compressive forces. All the energy is stored on the limbs, and not on the cables and pulleys. The cam or wheel is usually at the end of each limb. Its shape varies between different bow designs, and fall under four most commonly used types: Single Cam, Hybrid Cam, DualCam, and Binary Cam. The less common designs are the Quad Cam and Hinged. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:verdana;">Compound bow strings and cables are made of high-modulus polyethylene that have great tensile strength, minimal stretchability to make the bow transfer its energy to the arrow in a more efficient and durable way. Earlier models used cables made out of plastic coated steel. The pulley system has some rubber-covered blocks that act as draw-stops that can be adjusted to suit the archer’s optimum draw-length. This provides a consistent anchor point and consistent amount of drawn force to make consistent and accurate shots. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:verdana;">Cams or pulleys have two designs that have direct control of the arrow’s acceleration. The “soft cam” will accelerate the arrow more gently compared to the “hard cam”. Soft cams are best suited for novice archers, whereas the advanced archers may use the hard cam type for speed. Bows can have the integration of both cams for more flexible shots. Other modifications in the compound bow are the use of mechanical release aids, magnifying sights, stabilizers, and dampers to allow the archer to shoot more accurately.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">About the Author:<br />Pick A Spot Archery carries a full line of </span><a href="http://www.pickaspotarchery.com/compound-bows.html"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Diamond Bows</span></a><span style="font-family:times new roman;">.

Rising attendance at this yearly culminating event for participating Texas schools charts the program’s increasing popularity.</span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br />The first TASP tournament in Texas took place in February 2006, with 126 students representing 13 schools. The third annual championship last March drew 476 students, and attendance at this year’s tournament is expected to approach 700 students, teachers and parents.<br /><br />Changing lives one arrow at a time<br /><br />Since the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) came to Texas in September of 2004, organizers have trained more than 900 archery instructors at all three levels—Instructor, Trainer, and Specialist—including more than 400 classroom educators at 200 plus schools across Texas.<br /><br />Since the national program’s inception in Kentucky seven years ago, it is now established in 46 states and four other countries. On May 8-9, 2009 the 8th annual national tournament will be held in Louisville, Kentucky. The 2008 NASP national tournament was the largest archery event in the history of North America, with 2,865 participants.Last school-year across the nation, 866,000 school children in grades 4-12 received archery instruction from their teachers and an estimated 1 million will participate this year. This makes NASP the most successful youth archery program in history. The program expects to be operating in every U.S. state by the end of 2009.<br /><br />NASP lessons are taught by physical education teachers with a focus on international-style target archery. The program teaches a lifetime skill in a controlled, safe environment. Universal fit NASP equipment is useable by all 4th – 12th grade children and teachers, and is durable, affordable and identical in appearance and function. In order to meet and enhance student learning and accountability standards, many schools integrate archery into core content areas such as math, science, and history.<br /><br />NASP is intended for all students regardless of athletic ability or experience. Accommodations are routinely made for physically challenged students.<br /><br />“Although we just began the NASP this year, it has had a tremendous impact on our school district,” said Brian Gray, school superintendent with Union Grove ISD based in Gladewater in northeast Texas. “The participation levels are through the roof and the program is allowing our staff to teach kids about how to be successful in life, while promoting a lifelong activity.”<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:78%;">- Source Title : </span></strong><a href="http://www.kwtx.com/iwitness/headlines/38715497.html"><strong><span style="font-size:78%;">http://www.kwtx.com/iwitness/headlines/38715497.html</span></strong></a>Rıdvan Uzuntaş ;http://www.blogger.com/profile/16556497452383821641noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807329328531126615.post-34321155955051993532009-02-04T14:12:00.003+00:002009-02-04T14:19:33.401+00:00Olympics Champions Tied the Knot<div><div><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:78%;"><strong>Olympics Champions Tied the Knot <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXKJGx6F9sCKX5Vi1hBGzvIkBPBEw_3o1O7wDrgM80fXn_bOUYXK_4MtKD2uQdyFTvUp9O7iox59ZeSKW_zhuQssNy84Mv_1Qvbhmvf20bxKQnA8EIv3L6eVoOHzsNo7u3tkh8jucMvLA/s1600-h/0202_Parks_2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298946252480641554" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXKJGx6F9sCKX5Vi1hBGzvIkBPBEw_3o1O7wDrgM80fXn_bOUYXK_4MtKD2uQdyFTvUp9O7iox59ZeSKW_zhuQssNy84Mv_1Qvbhmvf20bxKQnA8EIv3L6eVoOHzsNo7u3tkh8jucMvLA/s400/0202_Parks_2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Lausanne – 2 February 2009 <br /></strong></span><br />Korean archers PARK Sung-Hyun, 25-year old, and PARK Kyung-Mo, 33, united Olympic destiny.

County Coroner Patti Hancock said he was older than the victim.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">"The two boys were outside playing," Hancock said. "They didn’t’ have a lot of power on the bow, but with a broadhead arrow, it doesn’t take much." </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">The arrow hit no bone, but severed the axillary artery in the 12-year-old boy’s left shoulder. He bled to death, Hancock said.<br />It’s not clear whether the two had been hunting. Whitetail deer currently are legal game for archers in the Chewelah area.<br />A man who answered the phone at the Niskanen residence in Deer Park said the family did not want to comment about the death.</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><br />Arrowheads used for hunting typically are made three or four razor-sharp blades designed to cause bleeding. By contrast, the heads on target arrows are cone-shaped, like a pencil point.<br />Deer Park elementary, middle and high schools are among 30 schools statewide that participate in the National Archery in the Schools Program. And while the training is designed for the controlled setting of a target range, students hear "over and over again" that bows can be dangerous, said Dave Mack, state program coordinator.<br />At least 100 students from Deer Park Middle School participate, Mack said. It’s not clear whether Alex Niskanen was part of that program.</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><br />A Deer Park seventh-grader with the same last name, but a different first name, placed fourth in a state championship held in March in East Wenatchee. The relationship between the two Niskanen boys was not clear Sunday.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size:78%;">- </span><a href="http://www.spokesmanreview.com/breaking/story.asp?ID=18010"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://www.spokesmanreview.com/breaking/story.asp?ID=18010</span></a></span>Rıdvan Uzuntaş ;http://www.blogger.com/profile/16556497452383821641noreply@blogger.com0
