FUNDRAISER SchooltohostCornFestonSaturday SpecialtotheDN YANKTON, SOUTH DAKOTA Red Bluff's Paige Pearce be- came a world champion and a world record holder at the International Field Archery Association's championships Aug. 4-8. Just days earlier the 19-year-old had finished what, for her, was a disap- pointing third place at the National Field Archery Asso- ciation championships. "I was a little disap- pointed with how I finished at the Nationals," Pearce said. "I won the 3-D Nation- als in Redding in May and the Big Sky Open in Grand Junction, Colorado in June. I have been shooting really well all year and I had hoped to do better. During the Na- tionals, my elbow was giv- ing me problems and I kept hitting my arm. I covered it with duct tape, but didn't want to change anything and risk not making the podium. After the awards late Sunday afternoon, I went to the practice range and changed my hand grip, which allowed me to shoot without the string contact- ing my arm." The world championship began the next morning and Pearce finished the first field round with a score of 549 to lead the international field. Field archery consists of field, hunter and animal rounds. The field round is 28 targets and 112 arrows shot anywhere from 20 feet to 80 yards. The target face is al- ternating black and white with a black center. The hunter round is 28 targets and 112 arrows shot anywhere from 11 to 70 yards. The target face is solid black with a white spot. Four arrows are shot at each target, often from dif- ferent distances at the same target. "There are walk ups, fans, times when you have to switch positions when you shoot and times when you shoot a single target face or multiple target faces." Pearce said. "These rounds are not just about being able to shoot, but they are about following the rules. Many archers will score a zero be- cause they shot the wrong target or set their sight in- correctly. Not only do you have to focus on the ac- tual shot, you have to focus on the rules. It is mentally draining." The animal round is also 28 targets shot from 10 to 60 yards. The vital area scores a 20 with the first arrow and the body scores an 18. If the first arrow is missed, a sec- ond and even a third arrow is shot for a lesser score. If every first arrow scores, then only 28 arrows are shot for the entire round. On the second day of the world championships, the hunter round, Pearce shot a 555 to break the pro record of 553 set 26 years earlier. Day three was the ani- mal round and Pearce set another world record with a perfect score of 560. Day four was the field round again. Pearce was shooting well, but set her sight wrong and missed an arrow. She finished that round with a 547. The fifth and final day was the hunter round. The morning began with rain and wind. The first two targets Pearce shot were closer tar- gets and she shot all eight arrows in the right side of the spot. She adjusted her sight as she approached the third target, which was 48 ARCHERY Local teen becomes world champion Red Bluff 19-year-old Paige Pearce won the International Field Archery Association world championship. By Andre Byik abyik@redbluffdailynews.com @andrebyik on Twitter RED BLUFF The Red Bluff City Council on Tues- day approved a $35,000 increase in funding to the Red Bluff-Tehama County Chamber of Com- merce, restoring the money cut from the cham- ber in the city's 2014-2015 budget. The City Council took on the increase, which brings the city's total commitment to the cham- ber to $70,000 this fiscal year, at the request of Mayor Daniele Jackson. Jackson said she re- quested the increase be placed on Tuesday's agenda after learning that the city's estimated general fund balance at the end of next June is higher than what was expected. The chamber, which has a one-year agreement with the city, provides promotional support and tourism-related services for the city of Red Bluff. In August, Sandy Ryan, the city's finance direc- tor, presented a budget update to council mem- bers that included some good news. The city's es- timated general fund balance at the end of next June increased from about $500,000 to about $1 million. The increased chamber funding was approved in a 3-2 vote. Council members Jackson, Ray- mond Eliggi and Clay Parker voted for the in- crease. Wayne Brown and Rob Schmid voted no. Parker said during Tuesday's meeting he's backed the chamber all along.
