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.
Training:
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? Give yourself a goal of a “personal best” . How do you "use" the nerves?
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.
We will score as we have in the past, shooting the indoor rounds on Wednesday - 30 arrows ( 10 ends -3 arrows each), and all must be on the appropriate target face at your distance, Out door rounds were Sunday (6 arrows x 6 ends).
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,JOAD/ SOAD members can submit scorecards for a National mail-in tournament. . You may enter the 4th quarter National Mail-in Tournament when scoring in these session. ($10 entry fee)
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
