May 18, 19 2013: Score

May 18,19, 2013
At the Canton range
Score!

Third weekend of each month.

Thunderstorms predicted this weekend + construction on the outdoor range...looks like indoor training
Saturday: 10:30 a.m. indoors(we arrive at 10 to set up)

Sunday,  3:30 p.m. indoors .

Each month, on the third weekend we score.
We have been focusing on training that tunes up technique, reviewing the steps and practicing "holding". Just like in the "soda rounds" 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.

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 score-cards to earn rank and pin awards.
This continual "dry-run" makes scoring at an event more comfortable and into a no-brainer.


Please arrive a few minutes early to gear up,  and check in 15 minutes early to get your score cards. First whistles at 10:30 Saturday, and 3:30 Sunday. 

To participate , Please reply with the day and time selected in the subject line. and your name, right or left handed, and if adult or youth via learnarchery@yahoo.com if you have not already done so, so we have enough equipment and staff available 

 Please arrive a few minutes early to gear up, and sign in. Begin to know your distances and target face size by putting them on the appropriate target. This one hour class allows students to gear up & continue with training basics in safety and form .Coach supervised training includes recurve bow and all safety equipment.

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.
