Narrative:
I was at 3000 MSL; preparing to land; traveling east; when I saw an archer on a head on collision course. I turned right and dove to avoid collision and then switched my radio from our airport frequency of 122.9 to the practice area frequency of 122.xyz. I called the archer pilot on 122.xyz and asked him if he had seen me before my evasive action. He said that he hadn't. I have talked to the people many times and asked them to please monitor our airport frequency when they are flying in our pattern area but obviously they aren't always doing that.
