These Board members represent individual companies–or ATA dealer and sales rep committees–but they work together as a team to create programs and policies that benefit the entire archery/bowhunting industry.  \nOne of those benefits is the ATA Technical Guidelines, which provides ATA members a vital tool for generating sales and establishing credibility with archery dealers and their customers. Even as manufacturers compete in the marketplace, they realize it’s good business for dealers and consumers to know the equipment they sell and buy has met tough, consistent industry guidelines that don’t vary by manufacturer.  \nAmong other things, these guidelines describe how the industry tests, measures and evaluates its products to ensure consistency and compatibility between components. The guidelines also ensure consistency in terminology, definitions, thread dimensions, the distance between mounting holes for sights, and other basic specifications.  \nOnly by working together under the umbrella of the ATA Technical Committee are such guidelines possible. By pooling their years of expertise, these unpaid volunteers provide consistent, well-conceived guidelines that benefit the industry as a whole.  \nWith that in mind, I wish to commend the following individuals and companies, who used their considerable expertise to update or conceive the 22 guidelines found in this manual:  \nRandy Walk, ATA Technical Committee Chair, President of Hoyt  \nDarik Bollig, Bear Archery Bob Deston, BCY Fibers Chris Deston, BCY Fibers  \nNorb Mullaney, Bowhunting World  \nJeff Pestrue, Eastman Outdoors/Gorilla Inc. Ken Giles, Easton  \nDave Gordon, Gordon Composite  \nJason Fogg, Hoyt  \nHenry Gallops, Mathews Inc.  \nGary Simonds, Mathews Inc.  \nJon Simonds, Mathews Inc.  \nDavid Kronengold, Precision Shooting Equipment Tom Saunders, Saunders  \nJohn Woller Sr., Summit Treestands LLC  \nSteve Gibbs (deceased), Sure Loc Archery Products  \n--Jay McAninch, ATA President/CEO November 2008  \nForeword  \nATA Technical Guidelines A Product of History and Teamwork  \nThe 22 essential guidelines found in the ATA Technical Guidelines manual represent about 50 years of accumulated engineering knowledge and expertise dating to Earl Hoyt, Dick Mauch (Bear Archery), and Chuck Saunders. Although these early manufacturers were business rivals, they wanted archery dealers and consumers to know their archery equipment met tough, consistent industry guidelines that wouldn’t vary by manufacturer.  \nWith customers buying from a growing list of manufacturers by the 1950s, modern archery’s pioneers realized their industry needed uniformity in basic equipment categories. Eventually, the Archery Manufacturers and Merchants Organization (AMO) created a Technical Committee to set uniformity guidelines. In the early days, AMO members had little difficulty agreeing where to place mounting holes for stabilizers and sights;  \nor determining the proper size and threads for bolt-on attachments or screw-in points and broadheads.  \nBy 1986, however, with the industry and innovations booming from the advent of compound bows, Hoyt, Bear, Precision Shooting Equipment, Easton and other AMO-member companies realized the industry’s manufacturing guidelines required more rigorous formality. That’s when the AMO’s Board of Directors appointed Milwaukee engineer Norb Mullaney chairman of its Technical Committee. Mullaney served in that role for nearly two decades, with his committees establishing unprecedented consistency and exactness for the industry’s manufacturing guidelines.  \nMullaney stepped down as committee chair in January 2004, and in 2005 the ATA’s Technical Committee began work on reviewing the industry’s manufacturing guidelines.
