World Cup 1

[James Park]

Pat Coghlan, Rob Timms and Brendan Wallace head to Santo Domingo this Sunday for the 1st World Cup event for 2008. As noted elsewhere, these three filled the top three places in the Nationals Target that finished today, and each of them shot excellently. It is a very strong team.

Gerry Phipps and Les Woods have kindly offered an incentive for these three to do well in the event. They have offered a sizable incentive should any of them obtain an individual place in the event and another should they obtain a team place. Thank you Gerry and Les, the Elite Compound Program very much values your kind support in pushing our archers to a very high standard..

[grantwomack]

Good luck to the Aussies heading out there. Sounds like a very strong team!

[Eberbachl]

Good luck guys! That's a very strong team indeed, I wish you well :thumb:

Well done for Gerry and Les for the support ;)

[Dan3D]

Good luck fella's, hopefully we can catch a bit of you guys on Archery Tv.

[bbird]

Let's hope that Pat, Rob and Brendan get amongst and show the rest of world what Aussies are capable of. Best of luck for the team! :)

It's also great to hear about Gerry Phipps and Les Woods offering some incentives for the elite compound program. I sincerely hope that their investment will be acknowledged and appreciated by all concerned and rewarded with some high standard performances.

Go get 'em Aussies! :thumb:

[James Park]

I took Deonne to Melbourne Airport this morning at 6am.
The three compound men plus Deonne fly to Sydney, then Los Angeles, then Miami, then Santo Domingo. The recurvers join in Sydney.
Pat, Rob and Brendan left Morwell at about 3.30am this morning after the Nationals, so it is quite a long trip.

[Craig R]

Good luck to all!
After the Nats results they should fare well.:thumb:

[Marcus]

Kick butt guys! And thanks to Gerry and Les for their offer. It's fantastic to see individuals helping out our archers like this. Les's contributions to elite archery have been largly unseen, but have made a significant difference to the increase in overall performance of archery in Australia in the last few years.

[Clare Barnes]

Yep, special thanks to Les and Gerry. :thumb:

They've both been assisting archery behind the scenes for a few years - and looking at their archery gear I suspect archery dealers have also benefitted! :D

Gerry's also a fun travelling companion, simply top him up with cappuccino every 2 hours. If cupboards had ears a certain set of clubroom cupboards should have spontaneously combusted ... ;)

[renae farrugia]

Good luck to all the Australian shooters and give it all you've got :thumb:

[iscap_boy]

Good luck to the Aussie team! Since Portugal isn't represented there, Australia is my favorite team!

[Hannah]

GOOD LUCK GUYS!!!

You'll do us proud irrespective of the results :D

[Shermo]

Go lads :thumb: Star Bucks iced coffee frappacinno's and Pat will be set;)

[James Park]

The ranking round is tonight.

[rachel]

The ranking round is tonight.

Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for all of them

[frommy]

The ranking round is tonight.

Unless you are in Perth, don't you mean tomorrow morning our time? We are presently 15 hours in front of Santo Domingo on NSW/Vic/Tas time.

All first 5 above 700.... impressive!:o

[Fiddler]

Martin Damsbo scored a low (for him that is) second round due to a broken centerserving. He is going to shoot his backup bow tomorrow.

[Erika]

Go lads :thumb: Star Bucks iced coffee frappacinno's and Pat will be set;)

lol you haven't seen him try to order one in a Spanish speaking country... it was giggle worthy.

Nice shooting boys!!

[Clare Barnes]

Brendan's 697 equals the Junior Boy's World Record for the round. :D

Great shooting so far from Enlightened One, Coghlan and apexrob!!

[andrewf87]

Nice shooting there guys :)

[rachel]

Still got the fingers and toes crossed for the boys

BTW nice shooting by all

[frommy]

Great effort all round for the guys and girls.

BTW, was everyone up early waiting the the scores this morning or something? :confused:

Most users ever online was 233, Today at 03:21 AM

:silly:

[whiz]

Brendan's 697 equals the Junior Boy's World Record for the round. :D



He's going to be seriously pissed about just equalling it... I can't wait till he's back in country.

He was instructed to take a shed load of photos..

[Clare Barnes]

He's going to be seriously pissed about just equalling it... I can't wait till he's back in country.

However I prefer FITA's approach of not recognising equal records; it really highlights the setting a new benchmark, not simply repeating what has been done before.

I would like AA would do that, and also would like AA to use the X count for records when possible if a perfect score has been reached. There are 7 Men's Compounders who so far hold the AA Tournament record for 30m. :silly:

Anyone notice the angle of Dave Cousins Launcher? (Trophy Taker)

[Ozzy]

Anyone notice the angle of Dave Cousins Launcher? (Trophy Taker)

You must have good eyes.
What about it ?

[Craig R]

Anyone notice the angle of Dave Cousins Launcher? (Trophy Taker)

Yes!

By changing the angle of the blade you can fine tune the blade stiffness. I also believe Clint Freeman is doing it at the moment.:thumb:

Probably more to do with him not knowing how to screw his rest on properly :D
