INTRODUCTION TO THE AUTHORS 

Few archers will need an introduction to Bob Rhode. He has spent 

so much time practicing, studying, and promoting the sport that he 

has come in contact with, or is known by, almost every archer in this 

country, as well as many in Europe. Bob is a veteran of two United 

States teams, and a former National Champion in Field and Target. 

Through his many years of shooting he has always maintained an 

enthusiasm which can only be interpreted as a true love for the sport 

of Archery. 

My first meeting with Bob was at the very first State Tournament 

I attended. · I was a beginner with a borrowed bow and he had 

just returned from the World Championships. Yet this man, who wore 

his uniform so proudly, stopped to help me, to encourage me, and to 

inspire me. Because of his sincere approach, his dedicated work, and 

the countless hours spent for the advancement of the sport, he has well 

earned the title, "The Archer's Archer." 

It was at this same tournament that I shot with another beginner 

like myself, Arlyne Ruhl. I thought that, if all archers are this friendly, 

it must be a wonderful sport. Little did I realize then the beginning 

of a fiercely competitive but lasting friendship. Arlyne is a dedicated 

archer who has spent many hours not only practicing, but also experimenting 

and learning the little intangibles about equipment. This 

ranks her high among the women archers who have a very thorough 

knowledge of the mechanics of their equipment. Arlyne has consistently 

shot well since she began in 1959, and always finished high in 

the National Field Archery Association Championships. She placed 

second in 1966 at Point Pleasant, West Virginia. More time to devote 

to shooting, plus fierce competitiveness coupled with her extensive 

knowledge and self-sufficiency, make her future in archery very 

promising. 

In the following pages you will find a unique combination of the 

mathematical preciseness of Bob Rhode blended with the warm and 

human touch of lovely Arlyne Ruhl, as they have sought to portray 

the archers of our time.

INTRODUCTION 

It seems as if it were only yesterday that I wrote the introduction 

to the first edition of Archery Champions. However it was over a 

dozen years ago. When I think back on my twenty years of competitive 

shooting and the hundreds of friends I have made in archery, the 

oldest and finest of all sports, I wonder if the young shooters will find 

the enjoyment and satisfaction I have. 

Many changes have taken place in competitive archery in the last 

twenty year. In the early 1950's target archery was the most popular 

phase of competitive archery. Field archery was just getting a good 

start. It was also about this time the United States started having 

representation at the World Target Championships. Not until 1957 

did the United States send its first full team to the world's championships 

in Prague, Czechoslovakia. That year the U.S. team swept the 

first three places in both the men's and women's divisions. This had 

never been done before nor has it been done since. While there is little 

doubt in my mind that it was the finest team we have ever sent, some 

credit must be given to the Americans superior equipment. A gap 

which has since been closed. 

By 1958 field archery had surpassed target archery in popularity. 

The 1958 National Field Archery Championships at Grayling, 

Michigan drew over 1400 shooters, to this day that is the largest outdoor 

tournament ever held. The next year commenced the first major 

indoor archery championship. This phase of archery has proven most 

popular of all competitive archery. The 1968 International Indoor 

Championship drew over 1500 shooters. 

I still feel target archery is the main stay of competitive archery 

the world over even though field and indoor archery have been able to 

draw larger attendance at major archery championships. Without 

question the 1969 World Target Championships at Valley Forge, Pa. 

was the most spectacular archery event ever held in the United States. 

For the first time in over fifty years target archery will again be a 

gold medal event in the 1972 Olympics.

JOE AND HELEN THORNTON 

Joe's start in archery goes way back to 1956. He started shooting 

bare bow as did most archers at that time. He shot in that division 

until 1960 when he turned free style. The next summer Joe won a 

place on the United States team and went on to win the World's Target 

Championship in Oslo, Norway. 

Joe got Helen started in archery in 1962. After just one year's 

shooting she made the U.S. team along with Joe. That year Joe placed 

second and Helen placed eighth. In 1964 Helen won the National Target 

Archery Ass'n. Championship. They made the U.S. team again 

in 1965. Again Joe placed second and Helen moved up one place to 

seventh. From 1965 to 1969 the Thorntons placed in or near the top 

ten in every National they competed in. 

Joe broke a ten year pattern in his shooting at the 1970 National 

Target Championships. He had always been a very consistent shooter. 

The other top competitors had come to know what scores it would take 

to beat Joe, and they knew if they didn't Joe would be number one. A 

few years ago Allen Muller said if you were going to beat him you 

had better shoot 1175 FIT A or better otherwise he will beat you for 

sure. Joe's first FIT A round at the 1970 National was true to form, 

a 1174. But when he came to the American round Joe shot a fantastic 

796 to win the 1970 NAA Championship. 

At the age of 54 Joe has the distinction of being one of the oldest 

men to win the N AA Championship. He is also the only American Indian 

(5/8 Cherokee) to win this tournament. The Thorntons were the 

only husband and wife to have both made the United States teams, as 

well as both winning NAA Championships. At the present time Joe 

is a member of the board of governors for the National Archery Ass'n.

VICTORIA COOK 

Vicki is the "greatest amateur woman archer" in the United 

States today. Her desire and determination has no equal. Through 

many illnesses and surgery this burning desire to be the best woman 

archer in the world brought this lady many thrilling victories and 

many friendships. Her laughing and joking during the tournaments 

really show how much she enjoys competition. 

Vicki started shooting in June of 1959 after a previous winter 

with surgery and the doctor's recommendation of fresh air and sunshine. 

She is very grateful for good coaching which she received first 

from Don Merrill who, she says, taught her to aim and then how to 

pull the bow. Only three months after starting, Vicki won her first 

Minnesota State Target Championship. It was also at this tournament 

she saw Bob Rhode and Bob Kadlec proudly wearing their blue blazers 

from the World Championship Team and she made up her mind she 

wanted to wear one too. 

After finishing ninth in the 1960 National Archery Association 

Championship Allen Muller became Vicki's coach. From him she 

received the knowledge of archery and the inspiration for courage to 

shoot 1100 FITA rounds when she had been practicing only 950. 

Two years after starting, Vicki qualified for the 1961 World 

Team. The team went to Oslo, Norway, and she came in seventh place. 

Vicki didn't do much shooting for a year and a half because of illness 

and surgery. Then 1963 rolled around and another year of world competition. 

There were many days of struggle to get back into condition. 

This time she didn't make the expense paid trip but paid her own way 

with help from those who had faith in her. Helsinki, Finland, was the 

site of Vicki's World Championship. Nancy Vonderheide battled back 

and forth until the last day when Vicki pulled out ahead at 50 meters 

by 38 points. The glorious victory was hers and a more deserving person 

it could not have been bestowed upon. 

The 1964 National Archery Association Championship was the 

only national she won. All the other nationals she shot in she was the 

bridesmaid. Vicki brought home the Gold Dallin Medal for the 1961 

N .A.A. Championship but, as Vicki says, Margaret Till berry won the 

tournament. Nevertheless, Victoria Cook is truly one of the finest 

archers of our time.

RAY ROGERS 

Ray started shooting tournaments in 1964 and by 1965 was shooting 

some very good scores. In 1966 he began a series of competitions 

with another outstanding archer, Hardy Ward. That year he won the 

amateur division of the Southwest Sectional Field Tournament and 

came in second behind Hardy in a Fita Star Tournament. Ray did not 

compete in the 1966 National, it was won by Hardy. 1967 will always 

be remembered in the NAA as Ray Rogers year. He started if off by 

winning the State Target Championship with a record 1203 FITA 

Round. He placed first in the FIT A Tryouts with a record 1205-1190. 

He won the World Championship in Amersfoort, Holland and returned 

to the USA to win the National at Greene, N.Y. In winning the 

National he again set a new World Record in the FITA Round with 

a score of 1227. He still wasn't through for the year as he shot a 1230 

FITA in the Ambassador Cup Matches. This tournament was called 

by one reporter, "another Ray Rogers Festival." 

In 1968 Ray did not win the National, this was again taken by 

Hardy Ward. Ray came back in the Ambassador Cup Matches, winning 

the North American Championship for the second time with a 

record in one FITA Round of 1238. 

In 1969 Ray placed second in the Tryouts and dropped to seventh 

in the World Championships at Valley Forge. He then came right 

back and again won the National Championship. In 1970, for reasons 

known only to him he did not compete. Ray Rogers will probably be 

best remembered by the world's archers as the first man to consistently 

shoot over 1200 in the FIT A Round. His shooting style was his 

own, he copied no one. He made his own strings and arrows and was 

a perfectionist in setting up a bow. 

The archery world is wondering if he will come back in 1971 and 

set some new world records.

HARDY WARD 

Hardy's first major win was the 1963 National Junior Free Style 

Field Championship. The next year he won the National Junior Target 

Championship as well. In 1965 as the age of 15 Hardy shot the 

National Target in the men's division and placed 15th. At the 1968 National 

Target Hardy not only won the Men's Championship but in so 

doing broke a 33 year record. (In 1933 Ralph Miller had won this 

tournament at the age of 17.) Hardy at 16 had become the youngest 

champion in the history of the N AA. Hardy is also only the second 

man in the history of the NAA to have won both Junior and Senior 

Championships. (Bob Bitner was the first.) 

In the spring of 1967 Hardy made the United States team that 

would go to the World's Target Championship in Amersfoort, Netherlands. 

He placed third behind Dixon of Great Britain and Rogers of 

the u.s. Even though Hardy shot 183 points higher at the 1967 National 

than he had in 1966 he still had to settle for second place to 

Ray Rogers. In 1968 it was the other way around; this time it was 

Hardy winning over Rogers by 10 points for his second National Target 

Championship. 

With the 1969 World Target Championships being held in the 

United States, the competition for the U.S. team was the strongest it 

had ever been. Hardy made the number four spot on the team, which 

made him anything but the ·favorite to win the World Championship. 

Never in the preceding 24 World Championships had there been a 

contest like the one that took place between Hardy Ward and John 

Williams. After 288 arrows and four days of shooting only three 

points separated these two great archers. Hardy had won the 1969 

World Target Championships. 

Earl Hoyt has said of Hardy's shooting, "Hardy Ward is the 

greatest target shooter I have even seen." Strong words of praise 

from someone who has seen as many great champions as Earl has.

EUNICE SCHEWE 

Eunice took up the sport of archery in 1955 and made the top 

class the first year. She shot her first national field cahmpionship in 

1956 and placed eighteenth. Her first state bare bow field championship 

was won in 1958. Then in 1959 she won the state free style target 

championship as well. 

Due to a number of operations Eunice didn't shoot much in the 

early 1960's. During her lay off a major change had taken place in 

archery which was amateur and open division compitition. Eunice 

stayed amateur and shot all the national field championships from 

1966 through 1970. Not only did she win the amateur division in all 

five championships but her scores in four of them were higher than 

the open division champion. All these years she had been the best bare 

bow archer in the U.S. Her outstanding shooting went partially unnoticed 

because it was in the amateur division. 

In addition to her N.F.A.A. titles she won the first National Archery 

Ass'n. Field Championship in 1968. 1970 was to be her big year 

at the National Field Archery Championships. She rewrote the record 

book by shooting 925 field and 936 hunters rounds and setting a new 

aggregate record of 2301. Her decision to stay amateur paid off when 

she qualified for the U.S. field team. For the World's Championship 

she had to change her whole style of shooting. She could not use a stabilizer 

or clicker and hardest of all learning to shoot on unmarked metric 

distances. Eunice came through like the great champion she is by 

winning the 1970 World Field Championship. 

To this writing she has won six National and one World Bare 

Bow Field Championships. As one of her competitors said, Eunice is 

a good shot, a true champion and a very nice person. It's hard to beat 

that combination.

ED ROHDE 

Ed is highly respected by his fellow archers for both his shooting 

abilities and pleasing personality. Although he has won only one 

major tournament in the last six years, he has constantly placed in the 

top three or four in every major championship in which he has 

competed. 

Ed's name first appears on the national level in the 1960 Ben 

Pearson Open where he came in ninth place. The next summer when 

I shot with him in Crystal Springs, Arkansas, he came in fourth in a 

field of top shooters. The first N.F.A.A. national indoor championship 

in 1962 found Ed coming away holding second place. The following 

summer he won his only major championship, the National Archery 

Association Championship which was held in Los Angeles, California. 

This showed him to be one of the top pros in the United States. 

Proving himself to be one of the greatest all around competitors 

of our time, Ed placed in the top three in all of the national outdoor 

championships for 1965. An example of his tremendous indoor shooting 

was performed at the 1966 International Open when he fired a 

299 out of 300 for his final round. He has placed in the money at the 

International Open four times in the past six years. 

Ed is the proud holder of a perfect 560 Animal round record shot 

at the 1967 National Field Archery Association Championship. His 

grand total of 2714 for the tournament would have won any other 

championship held before but the fantastic shooting of Stan Warner 

put him in second again. When checking through the records it is 

interesting to note, except for the first N.F.A.A. Championship Ed 

shot in and he was sixteenth that year, he has never been lower than 

sixth. 

A few weeks after the 1967 N.F.A.A. Championship Ed went to 

California for the Professional Archers Association Championship 

and battled for that coveted title. He tied for second with two other 

champions, Bednar and Gervais. At this writing Ed's shooting shows 

only signs of greater honors for an honorable man. 

In private life Ed is a building contractor in Muscatine, Iowa. He 

is and has been a member of the Ben Pearson Advisory Staff for the 

last four years.

a good score

The Ben Pearson Lord 

Mercury bow is an extra 

point getter for the best of 

archers. Its built-in added 

accuracy has already paid off in 

29 championships at indoor, outdoor 

and field competition in state, national 

and international tournaments. 

Ed Rhode. who used the Lord Mercury to 

shoot a national record animal round. a perfect 

560. ca lls it " the most accurate. dependable bow 

ever developed." 

And when we talk about Lord Mercury's built-in 

accuracy. we mean exactly that. 

Th is bow was designed with two sealed mercury 

capsules bui lt into the handle riser. Upon string 

release, 800 grains of mercury explode inside each capsu 

le, absorbing recoil and torque. This corrects inconsistencies 

in grip and release for better shots. 

Check into the Lord Mercury soon. And ask about Ben 

Pearson 's other top-performing target bows: The Lord 

Sovereign. Pin to . Javalina, Colt. All have the same built-in 

quality. Wh ich makes Ben Pearson a winner at any price.

EVELYN GOODRICH 

Evelyn and her husband, Bruce, started archery in 1958 but 

didn't start competition until 1960 \Yhen they also had a partnership 

in an indoor lanes and archery business. After four years of this it 

became too much for the family of four children so this was sold. 

Evelyn and Bruce have been Professional Archer Association 

members since the beginning in 1962. She was seventh in the 1964 

P AA Championship in Onsted, Michigan. In 1965 she climbed to second 

just behind Margaret Till berry. Then in 1966 Evie dropped to 

fourth for this championship. All the glory and the light blue blazer 

were hers in 1967 in Pasadena, California. Despite the hot California 

sun and tight nen·es EYelyn came through the championship with a 

one point lead oYer another great, Lou Shine. 

The most difficult of all tournaments, the International Open, 

awarded Evelyn with two seconds for the years 1965 and 1967. 

The year 1966 Evelyn had only one major win but a very nice 

one. She won her first National Field Archery Association Championship 

in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. 

Five Michigan State Championships belong to Evie from a state 

of tough competition. In 1965 Les Brown became her coach. She recommends 

that anyone who wants to be a top contender should have a 

coach, because it was then that she became a champion.

DAVID HUGHES 

David's win of the 1970 Field Archery Ass'n. Championship 

added his name to a very exclusive group of men who have won three 

or more National Field Championships. These men are Dr. Erwin 

Pletcher, three wins; Erwin Ketzler, five wins; Cliff Necessary, three 

wins; and now David Hughes with three wins. 

David started shooting when he was just ten years old but did 

not come to national attention until 1967. Although he broke records 

at the 1967 National Field Championship he had to settle for second 

place as Frank Gandy broke the records by a little more. The experience 

David got paid off when he became the youngest man to win the 

Bare Bow Championship in 1968. This championship was no easy win 

for David as his friend Rick Gilley also from Texas who had placed 

third in 1967 pushed him all the way. This tournament really showed 

what great competitors these two young men were. David and Rick's 

margin over their nearest competitor was over two-hundred points. 

At the 1969 National Field Championships David was shooting stronger 

than ever. He set a new record in the field round of 1080 points and 

an aggregate of 2693 which was just 43 points under the free style 

champion and broke Frank Gandy's old record by two points. The 

1970 National was a walk away for David as he won by 141 points 

over his nearest competitor.

MARGARET TILLBERRY 

The grand lady of archery would be no other than Margaret Tillberry. 

Her wins ha\'e been fantastic and her person not one forgotten. 

A quiet and resen·ed per sonality but a hidden desire to win make up 

Margaret. Even though she giYes Dan, her husband and coach, much 

credit, one has to be outstanding in abilities to win as she has. She 

enjoys the friend hips and competition that archery has brought her. 

Margaret started her archery in 1956 but didn't enter the competitive 

field until the 1959 Ohio State Target Championship which she 

won. 

Margaret has a fantastic record for the International Open. 

Starting her first year of 1959 she placed third. She was first in 1961, 

1963, 1964, and 1967; second in 1962; seYenth in 1965; and fourth in 

1966. Her 1964 win was especially thrilling. On the second day of competition, 

about a third of the way through the tournament, Margaret 

was ahead of the men by four points. Her Chicago Rounds of 832 and 

818 still stand as records. 1\'Iargaret's high Professional Archers Association 

score of 294 was shot in the 1967 International Open Team 

event. 

The first Professional Archers Association National was held in 

Daytona Beach, Florida in 1963. This is where Margaret won her 

light blue blazer and the championship. To follow this she was the 

champion in 1964 and 1965. In 1966 she placed second and in 1967 

was seventh. 

Margaret's first national " ·as the National Archery Association 

Championship in 1960. She was 11 points out of first place and was 

pleased, as she should be. The years 1961 and 1962 she came through 

with the championship and top score. 

Words have a hard time describing such a fantastic record. We 

only know that Margaret Tillberry is a legend of our time and a privilege 

to know.

LESTER GERVAIS 

Coho Hall in Detroit, Michigan, was the stage for the appearance 

of a new champion to archery. This was the 1966 International Open 

with 1102 competitors trying for the $12,000 in prize money. To be 

the star for this day was a man named Lester Gervais known to many 

as "Jugger." He confidently fired a 297 and 295 on PAA rounds for 

top score and a $1,000 prize. That day he also received $650 extra for 

having shot perfects on the P AA round in previous competition. He 

also has the nickname "Mr. Perfect" and rightly so as he is the first 

to accomplish this feat in the PAA round and the Field round. He is 

the master of a clicker which only can be accomplished with much 

ambition and determination. 

Les came to Point Pleasant, West Virginia, and claimed the 1966 

National Field Archery Association Championship crown. During the 

first day of competition Les posted a new national record for the 

Field round with a fabulous 550 out of a possible 560. The double Field 

round and the double Hunter round plus total were also new records 

for this great archer. Over the five day event he defeated the defending 

champion, Dickie Roberts by fourteen points. 

The 1967 United States Open Indoor Championship which was 

held in Las Vegas, Nevada, became Les' cherished win. He shot a 597 

just three points off perfect of 600 for $1,500, a nice return for his 

many hours of practice. 

Les tied for fourth in the 1967 International Open. Third place 

was Les' in the 1967 N.F.A.A. Championship. To end up the year of 

1967 Les traveled to Pasadena, California, for the Professional Archers 

Association Championship. He missed first place by three points 

but after the first round he was tied for tenth place and then climbed 

to second with a nice 297. Lea hasn't been around as long as many of 

the other champions but he has made his presence felt in his pressure 

wins.

ANN BUTZ 

In our last book of Archery Champions Ann's picture appeared 

with one caption "1967" National Free Style Field Champion. Since 

then she has dominated the women's free style in every event she has 

entered. Field, Indoors, Outdoor P AA rounds have not shown any 

barrier. Superb concentration, confidence and co-ordination mixed 

with unending practice, have made Ann number one in the pro ratings. 

When I first heard of Ann she placed sixth at the 1967 International 

Indoor Open in Detroit, Michigan. She had been shooting 

around New York State in the bare bow class, setting one record after 

another before that. Jackson, Mississippi was the sight of her first 

National title. She shot 965 Field Round, 1048 Hunter Round, and 

548 Animal Round which still stands today. To add to her first NF AA 

Championship she won the 1968-69-70 titles to make it four in a row. 

Her most cherished win was the 1969 National Professional Archers 

Ass'n. Championship. Ann won the 1970 N.S. Indoor Championship 

in Las Vegas. To complete a fabulous record Ann added the 1968-69 

International Open Indoor Championships to her bank account. 

The fact that Ann has won eight National Championships in the 

last five years is a tremendous feat by its self, but what is even more 

astounding is the margin by which she has won most of these championships. 

In only two of these wins had there been any doubt of the 

outcome. At this writing Ann's shooting shows only the promise of 

many more wins to come.

BILL BEDNAR 

Bill is and has been one of the top competitors in the United 

States for the last six years. His nerves of steel and superb concentration 

have brought him to the honored place of top money winner in the 

United States. No one in archery competition has the ability of shutting 

out everything as Bill does. 

Target archery was where Bill started in the mid 1950's. His 

name first appears on the national level in the 1961 Ben Pearson Open 

where he was second in the amateur division. He competed in the 

1961 National Archery Association Championship and placed seventeenth. 

That year he also tried out for the World Championship team 

and qualified. He traveled with the team to Oslo, Norway, and placed 

tenth in this thrilling championship. The only other N.A.A. Championship 

Bill appeared in was in 1962 when he was sixth. 

Bill turned pro in 1962 and really showed the world what a great 

competitor he was. The 1963 Professional Archers Association Championship 

was held for a first time and was in Daytona Beach, Florida. 

Here Bill won the coveted title, light blue blazer, and $1,000. He 

placed third in 1964. Then he came to Detroit, Michigan, in 1965 and 

captured his second P.A.A. Championship title. Only four points 

separated him and Ed Rohde who claimed second. Point Pleasant, West 

Virginia, was the site of the 1966 P.A.A. Championship. During the 

last day of competition in a trial with the rain and jovial George 

Clauss, Bill came through with his third championship title by only 

four points. A three way tie for second was Bill's position in the 1967 

P.A.A. Championship which was held in Pasadena, California. This 

tremendous record can't be praised enough for the quality of 

competition. 

The 1964 and 1965 National Field Archery Association Championships 

were second places for Bill. 

The most difficult of all tournaments, the International Indoor 

Open, was won by Bill in 1964. He shot a pair of 840 Chicago rounds 

to outclass his competitors. Detroit, Michigan, was again the location 

of the International Indoor Open in 1965. Bill tied with another great 

indoor competitor, Jim Ploen, for first place. Ties were broken that 

year by high game so Bill had to settle for second. Bill was fourth in 

1966. The 1967 tournament found second place Bill's again. Bednar 

is truly a master of concentration and a champion competitor.

man than Jim. Jim is a very fine all around archer, but really displays 

perfection indoors. His style of shooting makes every shot look so easy 

that you would think be was never under any pressu.re. Unlike most 

top archers, Jim bas a very soft release and holds considerably longer. 

Although be shoots with a high anchor, be bas classic target form. 

A third place, in the 1962 U.S. Open in Las Vegas, really started 

Jim's place among the greats in indoor archery. The glorious win of 

the 1963 Ben Pearson Open made him and his wife, Donna, $1,000 

richer. He defeated the top professionals of the day such as: Caspers, 

Partin, Pender, and many others to surprise many in the archery 

world. Jim participated in the 1963 National Field Archery Association 

Championship which was held in Enchanted Forest, California, 

and came in third, but only twenty-four points under champion, Don 

Cavallero. That year be also won the Covina-Downing Open and the 

ill-fated Enchanted Forest Open with some brilliant shooting. The 

fantastic groups Jim shot at thirty yards in the Covina-Downing Open 

were unbelievable. Since then he has been one of the leading competitors 

in major tournaments. Jim placed ninth in the 1964 Ben Pearson 

Open. Then be came up to fourth the next year and dropped to seventh 

in 1966. 

Early in 1967 the U.S. Open was held in Las Vegas with Jim 

capturing second place. Only six weeks later be traveled to Detroit, 

Michigan, for the International Open and be came away victorious in 

a field of the finest archers of our time. "Gentleman Jim" must be 

called ''the finest indoor archer in the world."

MARIE STOTTS 

"Indeed life does begin at forty, that's when I discovered archery," 

is a quote from Marie. She only regrets all the wasted time she 

could have been shooting archery. The deep love for archery was immediate 

once her son and husband convinced her she should try it. 

Marie shot barebow for the first three years starting in the fall 

of 1961. The wish to be the best resulted in Marie declaring herself in 

the top class after only six months of shooting. Four months later she 

found herself winning the 1962 National Field Archery Association 

Championship in Arkansas. This she highlighted by setting a Hunter's 

record that stood for three years and a new aggregate record. She also 

won the California State Target Championship in the professional 

division at Long Beach this year. Six records still stand to this day 

so she was really a great barebow archer in target as well as field. To 

make 1962 a true milestone in Marie's life she also captured the Southwest 

Sectional Championship. At the 1956 N.F.A.A. Les Speaks was 

her coach and he still is today. 

Marie placed second in the 1964 N.F.A.A. held in New York to 

end her winnings in the barebow division. 

Ha\ ing shot freestyle less than a year she went to New York for 

the 1965 N.F.A.A. Championship honoring herself with a second to 

Lou Shine. She broke the aggregate record but it wasn't enough. 

Marie had a wonderful year in 1966. The California State Field 

Championship and the California State Target Championships were 

hers. In the target championship she set 13 out of the 14 records and 

tied the fourteenth which all still stand. To make it a perfect year she 

won that wonderful light blue blazer and all the prestige that goes 

with it. This of course was the Professional Archers Association 

Championship which was held in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. This 

prize of $1,000 went home with Marie to California. The single round 

of 292 and aggregate of 1135 still stands. 

Many seconds and thirds have filled Marie's memory book and 

I'm sure many more firsts will be to her credit in the years to come.

VICTOR BERGER 

Victor Berger one of our greatest archers came to this country 

in 1956. He was born in what is now called East Germany. He made 

his first bow at the age of 12 while the war was going on around him. 

When he was nine years old, he began a ten year period of being 

moved from one displaced persons camp to another. Finally winding 

up at a displaced persons camp at Salzberg, Austria. From there to 

the United States, sponsored by the Re\·. Kay M. Glasener. Here he 

found happiness. he adds nothing can beat this country. 

Vic started to shoot competitive archery in 1962. His first American 

round was shot in a wheat field at Urbana, Ohio. At this time he 

was having a hard time keeping his arrows in the field, let alone hitting 

the target. But with a little ad\•ice on how to set up his bow and 

some well meant words on form he was off to a career in archery. 

Vic won the PAA National at Pasadena, Calif. in 1967. He shot 

297 the first day and a fellow archer wanted to bet $50 he would not 

win the tournament, but like the champion he is went on to win it. He 

again won the P AA National in 1969. 

Las Vegas 1970 National Indoor Open and what a year, 899 out 

of a possible 900. How do you describe that kind of shooting? Stupendous, 

fanstastic, there are no words that give the kind of praise he deserved. 

After the 299 the first day he was walking back to the hotel 

and said to his wife Betty, I wish I had not dropped that point. She 

replied do it tomorrow and that is what he did the next day as well. 

Vic has won several State Championships and scored well on the 

P AA sanctioned tours. He has shot several 300 rounds in the AIAA 

league shooting. Vic was voted the PAA personality of 1970. He is a 

humble and gracious champion, always willing to help a lesser archer. 

Add all this together and you come up with a great champion.

LUCILLE SHINE 

"Lou" Shine does just what her name says, "shines among the 

best," when it comes to lady archers. She started the sport in 1954 

when her son, Eddie, wanted Mom and Dad to take up archery. Her 

first state tournament in 1956 found her in second place behind Jo 

McCubbins. Then she traYeled to the National Field Archery Association 

Championship in Colorado Springs, Colorado and found she was 

good enough to make the top ten. Up till 1957 she shot barebow and 

at that time turned freestyle. Seconds and thirds plagued her until 

she won her first California State Championship in 1958. To date she 

has won five state crowns. 

The dream of every archer is to shoot on the United States International 

Team. Lou had that dream too. She tried out for the 1959 

team only to come in fourth. Under private sponsorship she made the 

trip to Sweden and to proYe her capabilities she not only placed third 

but out-performed two of her teammates to accomplish this. She still 

wears her blue blazer as a memento of this honor. Desire to be the best 

has grown over the years to make a marvelous competitor. 

The year 1962 was glorious for Lou. She was both the N.F.A.A. 

Champion and the National Indoor Champion. Smashing all the records 

in 1965 bestowed another N.F.A.A. championship on Lou after 

she traveled across the entire United States. She has attended twelve 

straight N.F.A.A. Championship, 1956 through 1967, and never placed 

less than sixth which was only twice and the other years she was in 

the top three. One of her biggest thrills was being the first woman to 

break the 1000 mark with a 1005 record in national competition. 

Immediately after the 1958 N.F.A.A. Championship the first Bear 

Money Shoot was held with Lou placing fourth and becoming $100 

richer. In the 1960 N.F.A.A. Championship she placed third to qualify 

her for a bigger Bear-Easton Money Shoot. Lou came out shining 

$1,000 richer and honored with another title. 

The 1966 United States Open or Sahara-Colt found Lou in twelfth 

place the first day. Not to be the kind to give up, she ended up fourth. 

In 1967 she returned to cop the crown and $700. 

During the 1967 Professional Archers Association Championship 

in Pasadena, California Lou had an arrow for arrow battle with a 

friend, Evie Goodrich, only to lose by one point. Hers have been the 

many thrills of winning and the friendships that make one's life shine.

GWEN LEARN 

A friendly, warm lady by the name of Gwen Learn has downed 

the winner's circle over the past ten years. Her husband, Lee and she 

won the Husband and Wife Team National Field Title in 1962 to bring 

her into national prominence. Indoor competition seems to be her specialty. 

She came in second to Margaret Tillberry in 1964 at the Ben 

Pearson Open. That championship became hers in 196fi and 1966. Both 

of these championships were hard fought battles. In 1965 Gwen waH 

in second place to F.velyn Goodl'ich after the first day. Desire to win 

pushed Gwen to shoot marvelous the second day and win by three 

points. F.ach of these points was worth $100 as that was the margin 

over second place. If you think this was exciting you should have been 

there the next. year. After the first day of shooting Gwen was fivt' 

points behind Sue Rusch. She came back the next day and captured 

the title by a single point. Now that is something to make your knees 

weak and I know man~· were. The 1964 and 1965 Mid-Atlantic Indoor 

C:hampionship are also her achievements. 

The light blue blazer and the Professional Archers Championship 

were hers in 1968. That year the P.A.A. started putting out a 

P.A.A. shooters standings and Gwen was ranked number one. 

Gwen became a certified P.A.A. instructor in 1969 and worked 

as a lanes manager. She enjoys teaching young people and I know 

young and old people enjoy her.
