James Park Seminar at DVA

[Marcus]

On October 31st 8pm
Topic of discussion will be bow grips and making sure it's correct. All are welcome.

[Mike13]

Even Geelong trash, huh? Or will there be security at the door? :wink:
Seriously, it sounds awesome. Will do my best to get there.

[Marcus]

I doubt security would keep you guys out :lol:
Yeah come along, look forward to it.

[James Park]

What I will cover:
Two key areas where we lose points are how we hold onto the bow and how we use the release device (or fingers).
I will go through the way our bowhand placement affects our accuracy, its major impact on bow tuning, how we can get it correct, and how we can help ensure that it remains correct from shot-to-shot. I will use a number of good practical demonstrations that you will also be able to try. You should bring your gear.
If it is desired, I will help archers get their bowhand position correct on the night with some direct coaching.
It is a very important aspect of our technique, and worth putting time into.

Thanks very much Jim, we really appreciate you giving your time to do this.

I very much look forward to it.

:bday:

[robbo]

I don't suppose anybody would consider videoing the seminar?

[CMB50]

I'm there, checked the work schedule and all is good. :D

Thats a good idea Robbo, the sell copies to raise funds for the Forum....all with Jim and Marcus's approval of course.. :wink:

[Flame]

I will be up in Canberra :(

[Kuru]

Sounds really good, S3 and I will be there for sure :)

[Kuru]

Anyone know the ruff time it would finish at all ? I have to be in box hill by 11 at the latest

[Marcus]

Just make sure you split by 10:15 dude, I'm sure it will be winding up by then anyway

[Brad]

Any need to register??

[Marcus]

nah just turn up

[Brad]

See you then then.

[James Park]

One thing I try to do in these seminars is to provide everyone with something new or something they had never thought about before, with a view to them scoring more in the future. With this in mind I have a couple of things to show tomorrow night that may surprise you a little.

[CMB50]

sounds good!

I'll see you there :D

[Mike13]

Unfortunately can't make it. Stupid brain. :-?

Marcus, Cam - please remember everything and tell me at Mornington. I don't suppose you'll tell me before the shoot but you can tell me afterwards. :wink:

Enjoy everyone.

[Marcus]

No don't worry Mike, we'll tell you before, we'll get you shooting real good.


BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :lol:

[Mike13]

:rofl:
I'll be interested to see how this "amazing" new grip works.

Is it possible to shoot yourself with a bow?

[CMB50]

Well had a great night and learnt a lot of very valuable information and advice. :D
Thanks for coming and donating your time and patience with us @ DVA Jim, a very well run and educational seminar. I learnt a hell of a lot.

Oh and for anyone that didn't make it or can't, then all of the tips that we were shown tonight, are all detailed in Mastering Compound Bows and Mastering Archery Technique Analysis, both available from Urban Archery :D

[Eberbachl]

Yep, thanks go to Jim for a fantastically informative evening.

Many archers learnt a few tricks tonight about how to grip their bow correctly, and Jim certainly dispelled a few myths :D

A great night!

Thanks very much Jim, we appreciate your efforts!

I've taken some pics - will ask Marcus to post some up here.

Cheers,

Luke.

:bday:

[Kuru]

Sorry I was unable to make it guys, I had Volunteer work before hand and got caught up in it. Plus forgot to check the palm pilot for friday !
Maybe another time :roll:

[James Park]

Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully I was able to demonstrate a couple of things you may never have seen before, and which are quite insightful in how to get the best from your bowhand. I am certainly impressed with how well DVA is going about its archery, and in general the techniques at DVA are a cut above what I see in other places - it does not surprise me that you are getting such good scores.
