STATE ARCHERY COMPETITION SHCEDULED FOR EXPO NEW MEXICO

ALBUQUERQUE – Young archers from across the state compete this Saturday in New Mexico’s National Archery in the Schools Program state tournament beginning at 8:45 a.m. in the Manuel Lujan Building at Expo New Mexico.

“We are expecting more than 500 archers from more than 30 schools across the state to compete this weekend,” said Officer Brian Guzman, Youth Skills Coordinator for the Department of Game and Fish. New Mexico has participated in NASP since 2009. “They are going to shoot more than 15,000 arrows Saturday, and that’s pretty amazing.”

The kids compete in elementary, mid-school and high school divisions, Guzman said. They shoot 15 arrows at 80-centimeter targets 10 meters away, and 15 arrows at targets 15 meters away. They have two minutes to shoot each end of five arrows.

“This is a great program that engages the kids, and we expect to see a narrow point-score differential,” Guzman said.

To be eligible to compete in the state or national competitions, schools must include NASP as in-school curriculum for two to eight weeks. The top school for each division will be eligible to compete in the national tournament May 9-12 in Kentucky.

The public is welcome to view the competition.

Crosman Introduces New Youth Bows

Many of you asked what bow to purchase for your child. Here is a copy of the press release from Crosman, introducing their new youth line.

CROSMAN INTRODUCES NEW YOUTH BOWS 
Great for Aspiring Archers
ROCHESTER, New York, (January 15, 2013) –Crosman Corporation, long known for innovative, high quality products for the shooting sports, has introduced two new bows to its youth archery line. The Crosman Trapper™ youth compound bow and the Buggy Bow™ youth long bow each feature lightweight and compact designs that provide a comfortable advantage for students and beginning archers.According to Crosman Product Manager, Tom Clark, “If you want to guarantee your young archer develops his or her skills with an appropriately sized and weighted bow, choose one of our new Crosman youth bows. Pick the Trapper compound bow if you wish to prepare your archer for action in the field, or, if target shooting is more your style, choose the classic design of the Buggy Bow long bow,” he said.

Says Clark, “The Crosman Trapper is an excellent choice for the beginning archer. With the Trapper, you can “teach basic shooting technique with ease, and, because of the cam system and 65% let off, it works well for all body sizes.” The Trapper easily converts from right to left handed shooting, depending on the shooter, and features an ambidextrous hand grip. It is 25-inches from axle to axle and has a light, 10-pound draw weight.  “It’s perfect for beginners,” says Clark. “The brace height is 7.5 inches and offers forgiveness during the shot. The bow has an adjustable sight, finger and arm guards, and velocities of up to 68 fps. The Trapper comes with three field arrows and a quiver, everything you need to get started,” he said.

“For those who want to teach more classic style archery, choose the Buggy Bow,” says Clark. This youth long bow is suitable for archers of every size and provides all the features needed to learn archery. The Buggy Bow is 45 inches from tip to tip with limbs specially designed for balance and forgiveness. “With a 15-pound draw weight and a 24-inch max draw, this bow allows for years of use before trading up,” Clark said. “The Buggy Bow has an ambidextrous grip for optimum hand placement, arm guard and finger guard. With three wood field arrows and a belt quiver,” says Clark, “This set is ideal for beginning a lifelong love of archery.”

The new Crosman youth archery bows will be available at retail in the spring of 2013. The Trapper has an MSRP of $50 and the Buggy Bow has an MSRP of $32. Crosman Corporation will exhibit the new youth bows with its entire product line at the SHOT Show 2013 in Las Vegas from January 15-18. http://www.mapyourshow.com/shows/index.cfm?Show_ID=shot13&exhid=357216&booth=13940&hall=B Visit booth number 13940.

Opportunity for a 2012 archery elk

If you didn’t draw a license or didn’t get an elk in the state you were hunting, there is still a chance for a 2012 elk. New Mexico Department of  Game and Fish published this newsletter earlier this week.

SANTA FE – Two hundred seventy-five trophy bull elk archery hunting licenses will go on sale Oct. 31, first-come, first-served, on the Department of Game and Fish website, www.wildlife.state.nm.us.

The sale will begin at 10 a.m. Oct. 31 and will be open only to New Mexico residents for the first 24 hours. Any remaining licenses will be available to nonresidents beginning at 10 a.m. Nov. 1. Only hunters who did not hold a 2012-2013 elk license are eligible to purchase the late-season licenses. The bag limit for the late-season hunts is one bull elk with antlers that have at least six points on one side.

Hunters are strongly advised to obtain an online customer account or review their existing account, user name and password before the sale begins. The sale is first-come, first-served and popular hunts sell out quickly. Available licenses include:

Archery hunts, trophy bull elk (six-point antlers or more on one side):

  • Unit 12: Nov. 17-21, 25 licenses.
  • Unit 34: Dec. 15-19, 200 licenses.
  • Unit 37: Dec. 1-5, 50 licenses.

The Department makes late-season elk licenses available as biologists continue to assess annual population and harvest information, regional herd management objectives and additional harvest needs. Because these assessments require information gathered during fall aerial surveys and regular fall hunts, the licenses are made available via an online sale.
