Traditional Archer

I’ve been using flex fletch products
from the beginning and still
continue to use flex fletch.

I have been competing in archery since 1988,
first with a barebow recurve and in 1994 with a
longbow.  I won my first World Championships
in 1996 and set 2 World Records en route.

I am 47 years old and I have been married for
18 years to my lovely wife Jacquie who also
shoots archery.  We have 2 children and live
in Santa Cruz California, where I am a Dentist.

• At 1 grandprix in Croatia placed 6^th.  
  
• At 2 Grandprix in Antalya Turkey - won the qualification with 697 points, and we (Danish team) won the gold medal in team.

  Beside that, then all my competition in Denmark I have won so far,  my latest was last Sunday one week after Salvador, I shot 1394. 
  
  All my results I have you and your products to thank, I really appreciate your support. My X10 setup with your fine FFP vanes 187 shield makes my arrows go to the center even in very difficult weather conditions. 
  
  My next event will be in Athens for European Championship 
  
  Once again thanks for your support 
  
  Best regards, Martin Damsbo

On Doris' recent trip to Mexico where she took 1st place in the Junior Women's Compound event at the FITA Junior/Cadet World Target Archery Championship, Doris, unbelievably did it all with a broken thumb and other injuries.

Five days before the event Doris was involved in a terrible car accident.

*Doris was driving home on Provincial Road 212 when her car hit some loose gravel and lost control. She hit the ditch, flipping the car two or three times before it landed on the driver's side.
In addition to the fractured right thumb, she snapped three nails on her right hand and suffered a cut on the inside of her left elbow and a big bruise on her left forearm. Jones lost the hearing in her left ear and her balance was affected.  She's lucky to be alive.

Doris became the first Canadian archer to win an individual gold medal at a world championship.

How's that for testing a persons mettle.

(continued from Doris Jones profile)

...In just his third competitive race, he set the world record for the marathon, smashing the previous mark by over five and half minutes. In the years prior to the First World War, Tom Longboat won most of the major distance races in North America and Europe, including the Boston Marathon and the Powderhall Marathon in Edinburgh, Scotland. At a time when indoor marathon running attracted sell-out crowds, he was the world's professional champion. At one point or another, he held every Canadian record from one mile to the marathon.

Throughout his life, Tom Longboat spoke proudly of his First Nations heritage and held his head high in times of great adversity. He was the headline attraction wherever he raced, drawing huge crowds and a widespread following. In 1999, Maclean's Magazine voted him the #1 Canadian sports figure of the twentieth century.

Established in 1951, the Tom Longboat Award serves as a proud national symbol for all Aboriginal peoples in Canada.
