When I woke up this morning, it was 41F. Now, it’s 37F with the wind chill below freezing. Basically, it’s miserable outside.

We are moving the practice to tomorrow, but at a special time due to the SuperBowl … or the Puppy Bowl depending on which you follow. (Puppy Bowl line up: http://bit.ly/980UdU) Practice will be from 1pm to 3pm. It will still be chilly tomorrow, but we should have full sun. This will also give us another day to let the field dry out.

We hope to see you there.

- Coach Kevin

The 26-year-old Jennerstown resident captured the Compound Men’s division championship at the Tournament of Nimes, which was held Jan. 22-24 in Nimes, France.

“We had to shoot 60 arrows in a qualification round,” he said. “They score a nickle-sized circle as the 10. I qualified with the highest score, 596 out of a possible 600, only four shy of a perfect score.”

From the looks of it, the new B-Stinger Premier Stabilizer Bar looks like it loads the tip of the stabilizer with more of a “barbell” end. The increase of load at the tip of the stabilizer should act to dampen the effect of torque and shock.

The purpose of the of the trial phases was to maximize stabilizations and hear feedback from legendary USA Archery National Coach Kisik Lee, Resident Coach Guy Krueger and resident athletes. The Stabilizer Company has been working with both top compound and recurve shooters that includes: U.S. Olympic team hopefuls jake Kaminski and Kiristin Braun; 2-time U.S. Paralympic medalist Jeff Fabry; top compound female youth prospect Tristan Skarvan; and pro female compound shooter Jamie Van Natta.

I’m interested in seeing how the tests progress. Perhaps we’ll see the B-Stinger in the Olympics in 2012.
