Michele has won his first Gran Prix and I was a proud father, as well as the Italian Team Official.

rec. sport.archery is the one I like, while the other is a little too much "american".
I think that people that have information about archery events in the world have to publish them, as it is so difficult to get real time infos in our sport.
So, I have hoped to see more pure info on the newsgroups, but presently only thing increasing there is spam, so better to go to the Sagittarius Blackboard...
I shoot basically Olympic, and unfortunately less and less since a couple of years.
I have now a Radian with Sky Archery 68"/38# limbs, an Accra sight and a Best Mercury stabilizers set.
Arrows are Ace 670 /27".
Sometimes I play with my Compound, a very old PSE Elite, that I try to manage with clicker and release... with very poor success..
Born in 1950, I started archery with my wife Paola in May 1973.
Involved in the Gallarate (my home town) local club since the beginning, I have done so many things in archery that I can not list them.
Then, in 1976 we got our elder son, Michele, and since he started archery in 1986, he has dramatically changed my archery life.
Since then, I have been changing from the athlet status to the coach status, coaching first my son, and then many others young (not only for the age) archers.
I have never counted them, but I suppose the total of the persons I have teached archery personally is now far over 1500.....
Today, I'm President of the Gallarate Archery Club Sport Arco e Frecce CAM, that is number 4 in Italy for activity, with around 90 members.
I continue to coach my son Michele, all the best Olympic bow shooters in my Club and sometimes outside, as well my daughter Carla, born in 1988.
In 1997 I have been in the organizing committee of the Europenan Field Champ in Ardesio - Italy, and I have been elected for the first time to the FITA Target Archery Committee during the FITA Congress in Victoria. In 2000 I have been in the organizing committee of the World Field Championship in Cortina - Italy. In 2001 I have been elected again to the FITA TAC and appointed Chairman of the committee, as well as elected again to the FITARCO council.
I especially love Field archery, and soon or later I'll start again to shoot in the woods.
Archery is for archers, not spectators.
I continuously try to promote Archery as a good sport for all people that want to relax... but I fear that so many non archers are in our sport, that soon or later they will damage it without repair.......
I hate the Olympic Round, also if I have found how to manage it from the coaching point of view.... It is not our sport.... It's circus.....
Archery is a small world.... let's work toghether to make it bigger !!!
