Awesome Adventures in town with Coach Jefflyne

The Awesome Adventures team came into Atlanta to find new and exciting things to do.
They visited a lot of landmark spots, and came to Learn Archery at the Canton location at Big Woods Goods, for a "basics" lesson.
The Atlanta Show aired Aug27, 8 a.m. on Fox 5 Atlanta.

Great group of talented folks-a delight to work with!

Training:

Basic equipment fundamental-how to apply a nock to the string, use of a bow square for the measurements. Types of nock locator's-string, . Using one...or two? what difference does it make?

Aug 7 Training-use your back!


How do you know when you are using your back muscles? What's the advantage?

Come train on Sunday and put strength into your routine.

We worked with stretch bands for quite some time.

August 6, Orientation




Had a great turn out - 12 new students,and several really good shooters . For our "soda Round" we had a head to head competition, as the" three in the gold standard" was met by 2 students.
One winner rose to the challenge!

Sunday July30 Training: balloon shoot


Checking balloons and scores
Two contenders head to head at 18 meters
 
                        


July 30 : balloon shoot/competition. Everyone, please stretch out, get your gear set up and select some balloons to blow up and put them in the big bag. The idea is to form teams, and shoot YOUR balloon first, before your competitor pops theirs. They step off and you shoot for theirs.  If you shoot theirs accidentally-they win and move to the next round. Slowly one champion will remain.


July 24th Training, Score-set a baseline


 (above-scoring held third weekend of each month, Canton indoor range, Big Woods Goods 3:00 p.m.)

Training, Scoring Sunday
This Sunday, we will score. Those that know how to score will do a complete round of 30 arrows for a base score. New shooters can do several ends to learn the process.

Please arrive a few minutes early, and remember to do the warm up exercises. Put your sight on the bow to learn where it is set based on the distance you shoot, and check the left/ right position of the aperture. Begin to know your distances and target face size by putting them on the appropriate target, and distance. (new students are at 9 meters, seasoned , or students hitting red or better 3 times in a row, move to the 18 meter distance. 60 cm face for youth. 40 cm, compound, tournament youth, adults.)
