Coach Vittorio Frangilli of Italy mentioned that in order to train for
the World Field Championships in Canberra, Australia, 2002, his son (and world champion several times over) Michele Frangilli went undercover downunder to do some special training before the event.
This picture was recently released showing Michele on location doing serious training for the World Field Event! |
| Rick Stonebraker was competing in the Clout competition at the US NArchival Archery Nationals in Canton during July, 2002. Shooting a recurve bow at a target on the ground 165 meters distant, 6 arrows per end, Rick managed to cut the clout flag in half, and then on the very next arrow, split the remaining stub! In the photo, you can also see all of his other arrows that are in the scoring ring! |

| In 2004 at the Alamo Area JOAD's Clout Tournament, Rick once again hit the clout stick from 165 meters out - unfortunately they had used a steel rebar for the stick, so the arrow was a complete writeoff! A continues to routinely hold Clout tournaments each outdoor season. |
