September 16 : SCORE!!


September 16 : SCORE!!

Outdoors!

Mail-in Tournament!

 

How does your routine work when the need to make the high score, or beat the other competitors and take home the gold medal, trophy or the coveted "hot Soda", comes into play?

When an archer concentrates on score, or outcome, they give themselves a disadvantage. Keeping the mind on the process, each step...each piece...one after another, gives the most composure, and best results.
 
Give yourself a goal of a “personal best” .

Each month, on the third weekend we score.
New students begin to learn the ins and outs of what each ring is worth, the power of the lines that edge the rings, and what arrows may help in a strategy to gain points . New archers keep score and may keep the scorecards to have a log of their own progress. If students are a member of the JOAD/SOAD program, they can turn in cards to earn rank and pin awards. This continual "dry-run" makes scoring at an event more comfortable and into a no-brainer.

We will score as we have in the past, shooting the outdoor rounds - 36 arrows (12 ends - 3 arrows each, or those with their own arrows: 6 arrows x 6 ends) , or, if weather is a challenge in the afternoon-indoor rounds - 30 arrows ( 10 ends -3 arrows each), and all must be on the appropriate target face at your distance.

Mail in National tournament: Adult(SOAD) youth (JOAD) $10 to submit score

We will use the scorecards you are familiar with, and students will score in an official manner, with two archers scoring and checking together, and can submit scorecards for a National mail-in tournament. . Official categories as outlined by USA Archery: http://assets.usoc.org/assets/documents/attached_file/filename1/50560/Age_and_Distance_Charts_for_the_JOAD_Mail_In_Tournament_Series.pdf

 

Two archers scoring and checking together.
JOAD/ SOAD may turn in scorecards for achievement awards.
New archers will learn how to score, the meaning of the rings and appropriate conduct and procedures.

If not thunderstorming, ALL students, please head to the outdoor range from the back parking lot to check in. Do not use side door please!
