Kirk Ethridge, the number one ranked professional from USA, who won the Las Vegas Shoot in February, finished 12th and Rusty Mills, another top American male compound archer, placed 19th. When asked to comment on visiting the area,' Eldredge said, "Generally when we speak of the Netherlands, flat ground with windmills pumping water off the newly reclaimed ground surrounded by dikes comes to mind. However, in the southern most province of Limburg, heavily wooded rolling hills are dotted with centuries old cathedrals and castles." Eldredge added, "Less than three miles from Margraten in the middle of a small farming community there is an old stone quarry grown over with hundreds of species of trees and vegetation. Cliffs and steep hills make up much of the terrain with daily rain showers, dark overcast skies and jungle like vegetation adding to the toughness for competitors from 22 countries, who were gathered to y j shoot the most difficult believe) archery contest world." The USA team arrived at a and spent practice field, June time relighting equipment due to an altitude adjustment of approximately 6000 feet. Team members arrived at the quarry, June 6 to shoot the marked distance segment of the competition, which consisted of 24 targets of distances from 14 to 65 meters. The first of the 24 target sequence was uphill and Eldredge estimated it at 27 meters with a 30 degree angle. His group of four archers consisted of one American, German, Finnish, and Slovenian from the recently separated country of Yugoslavia. Eldredge said; "My first arrow goes high into the 3 ring. I don't know if I made a good shot and need to adjust because Fm so 'stinkin' nervous. I shoot one more arrow and it hits right next to my first You dummy, Kevin (according to Kevin Eldndge) you should have moved your sight after the first arrow. I move my sight and the next arrow strikes a 5 for a total of 11 paints out of 15 on the first target By the end of the day (seven hours since we shot our first arrow) I was catching on to the uphill and downhill angles, the rain and the unsure footing, etc.," Eldredge said.
