during the Italian championships plate Alexandria suddenly I was struck by a vision: The
archery Italian was formed, managed and attended by families, not society. We
during clashes in mixed teams and brothers George and Anna Botto arrows came back from recovery, followed by brothers Carl and Michele Frangilli against which they were clashing.
On the adjacent field, the brothers Max and Claudia Mandia Junior did the same in the clashes. Three sets of brothers, not three companies.
Immediately, the thought is also running the family Matteucci, two thirds of the OL SF team on the podium, but also to the Chin family, the family and of course the Tonelli Family Scarzella, plus many other past and present.
athletes, managers, referees, instructors. Countless families in view of the archery Italian which are the backbone often in contemporary techniques and organization of its society. Sometimes, families have the opportunity to grow archery in a fertile and receptive, and raises the following people who often have to meet targets unexpected. It was already so in 1973, when he passes the first time FITARCO. The family Oddo controlled not only the ABA in Milan, but the same and yet the same FITARCO FITA, which then had its headquarters in Milan, with Francesco Gnecchi President and Secretary General Cinnirella Beppe, consequently, the ABA formed the backbone FITARCO technical field of the newborn, provided the national technical director, the late Renato Doni and before that he had seen the brothers compete Oddo blue shirt. But it was 1973, almost forty years ago ...
Things change in the world, but it seems that in archery, not only Italian, families continue to be the backbone of the movement.
where the family shares, grows, passes the ball to the next generation, the leading company of doing the same. Where the children and grandchildren have not started leaving our sport, the family loses the momentum with the years and the leading company of slowly collapses.
I could cite dozens of families who have formed the backbone of many companies in fact often national teams, which are now missing or collapsed dall'arcosfera to a minimum because of the simple aging of the founders and propellers and the absence of generational change.
In other countries, small and large, the situations are very similar. What about the Trafford family, six members competing in the U.S. team to the World Campaign 2008, those five to 2010?

O brothers Dola Banerjee and Rahul., Pillars of the Indian team OL Ladies and Men? And what about Daddy Dee Wilde with young and Reo Logan?
More and more I think about other names face to memory, unnecessary at this point continue to list them.
Well, Let's face it and facciamocene a reason. Ours is a family sport, in fact, families at all levels, including managerial and technical racing.
the base, in clubs, we know. Who has not in his club shares special "Family" to ease the burden on the budgets of families with several members enrolled?
Why then not recognize this situation and to give families that make up the backbone of the national archery a minimum of recognition? A championship for families? A registration fee FITARCO the family? A specific recognition? Just a little ' fantasy and something you certainly can not invent. Meanwhile, the only "recognition" to households by FITARCO was the reduction of copies of the magazine ARCHERS sent to the same address, despite the existence of shares equal membership for all members of one family.
The archery is definitely a family affair, let's do something!
