Free Archery Super-tuning Clinic equips bow hunters of all ages to be more accurate, effective and ethical
Archers can evaluate and optimize their equipment with the first tuning system on the market that uses microelectronics technology to take performance measurements.
August 12, 2015 — With the ethics of certain aspects of hunting lately called into question, bow hunters can be certain that their bow and arrows pack enough power to take down game swiftly and ethically. This peace of mind, as well as peak equipment performance, can be had by attending the free Archery Super-tuning Event from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, August 15 at East Texas Hardware, 1111 N. Kilgore Street in Kilgore.
Archers should bring their bow and arrows and come prepared to shoot. This is not a basic bow tune-up but a rare opportunity to use the state-of-the-art Velocitip Ballistic System by Full Flight Technology. The system measures a bow’s performance at any distance as well as precise trajectory, aerodynamic efficiency, launch and impact speeds, arrow drag, momentum and kinetic energy. With this information, master bow technician Kevin Offerding can super-tune archers’ equipment, for free, and make them better shooters and hunters. In addition, East Texas Hardware is offering 10% off all archery products the day of the event.
The Velocitip system consists of a field point with a built-in microelectronic system that activates when the arrow leaves the bow and when it strikes the target while measuring arrow performance more than a thousand times in between. After shooting, the field point is removed from the arrow and plugged into a docking station for immediate data display which is then used to recommend equipment modifications.
The Velocitip system is on loan from event co-host Dr. Jeff Pinkerton of Insight Eyecare as part of his ongoing commitment to promote archery as a lifelong pastime. He also sponsors Union Grove ISD archery events.
Last year’s Archery Super-tuning Event drew about 70 shooters and was covered by the national archery trade publication Arrow Trade: “No one had ever held such a clinic before. … Customers were very impressed with what they learned and how much they could improve their bows’ performance with slight changes or modifications to their setups.” Read more about last year’s event here and here (Page 112). To learn why archery of is such keen interest to an eye doctor, read Dr. Pinkerton’s article “You Can’t Shoot What You Can’t See.” For more information on the Velocitip System visit www.velocitip.com.
