John Wheeler of Beckley, WV writes: “I shot Las Vegas for the first time in 2005. I had been using a thumb trigger release in practice and was doing quite well with it, so I decided to use it in the tournament. The first day I shot a 296 and the second day I shot a 297. I was extremely frustrated, because I KNEW I had 300’s in me and the shots I missed were because I used the trigger. Fortunately I had my triggerless Bernie’s Knuckle Under with me and decided to use it the third day. I shot a 300 for a total of 893 for the tournament and won $700! Now, I only use the Knuckle Under or Bernie’s Can’t Punch in any tournament I shoot. Thank you! John Wheeler

Don Williams, works at Schupbach’s Sporting Goods in Jackson, Michigan and was stuck at an average of 300 with 50 Xs for over two years. I know a lot of you out there would like to be stuck at 300 with 50Xs, but Don was not happy there. After organizing a shooter’s school and getting some personal coaching from Bernie, Don began his reprogramming. Bernie asked him to chart his scores after he came back from shooting the empty bale and began to keep score on targets again. Bernie told him his scores would probably go down before they came back up again . . . and he was right. Don later reported that when he returned to shooting leagues, the first few weeks dipped down to 295 or so with 35 to 45 Xs. As the weeks rolled by, his score came up and by week six Don’s scores had returned to 300 and 50Xs. By week seven they were at 54-55 Xs. By the end of the eighth week, they were at 56-58 Xs. His indoor scores now average 57 Xs and, in 3-D, he is averaging 30 points higher since the school. He is presently in the top twenty of the IBO MBR and in the top ten to be Shooter of the Year in 2001. At the school, Don also became an NFAA Advanced Level Certified Instructor and a couple of years later became a Certified NFAA Master Coach. Don loves to coach and teaches what he’s learned to anybody that needs help. Besides his regular duties at the pro shop, Don also coaches 170 kids in a winter league. Don says, “Keep up the good work, Bernie. This stuff really works!”

Butch Wright of Dayton, Ohio, was ready to quit archery because of target panic until he attended the shooter’s school. He worked hard and mastered what Bernie taught him and went from 292-37 Xs to winning the Ohio State Indoor (over 50 class) the next year with a 300-57X score. He set a new state record with a perfect 300 - 60X, and the next year won again with 300- 59Xs! Butch has also won two indoor state FITA championships and set a new FITA indoor state record. He has also won the NFAA Indoor Nationals, Senior Freestyle.

Vickie Wright of Dayton, OH, attended the shooter’s school with her husband, Butch. She has since won the Ohio State Indoor Championship three times and has set five new indoor state FITA records. Vickie now averages 300 and over 55 Xs and has twice won the Indoor Nationals, Senior Freestyle.

Jeff Wyler attended the shooter’s school won the 2002 Outdoor  Nationals in BHFSL.
