Archery Class Training: SCORE

At the Canton range
Third weekend of each month.
JOAD/SOAD: Please advise if you have an outdoor distance request, or arrive early to help set distances.

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 learn how to 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 use this session to earn rank and pin awards. This continual "dry-run" makes scoring at an event more comfortable and into a no-brainer. Youth are to learn how to do this, independent of parental supervision.


Scoring Class Basics:
  • Please arrive early to gear up, check in, obtain and fill out your score card with name, distance, and date .
  • First scoring arrow begins at 10:30 Saturday, or 3:30 Sunday. Arrive early if you need to have practice/sight-in shots.
  • If you are to complete the 30 (or 36 arrows if outdoors) students must be on the line for the first scoring arrow at start of class, with scorecard filled out and ready to go.
  • Focus for completing score cards will be on JOAD or SOAD members earning rank. 
  • Those with their own arrows may shoot 6 arrows which will allow completion of scorecard if on time.
  • Those seasoned JOAD SOAD members using program arrows will start with three arrows, unless class numbers permit 6 arrows.
  • Adults not scoring at their appropriate distances with correct size faces, or students not members of JOAD/SOAD will not complete a card as they will only use 3 arrows for time considerations for those earning rank .
  • New students focus will be to learn protocol, and how to complete the score cards, and will shoot only 3 arrows ( will not be able to complete a score card, for time considerations.)

 

To participate , Please reply with the time selected, RH LH, and name in the subject line. and if adult or youth via learnarchery@yahoo.com  if you have not already done so, for equipment and staff considerations. Please arrive  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. Continuing, ongoing instruction , accommodating various skill levels, covering: refining form, understanding equipment needs, equipment purchasing options, tournament rules, timing, string alignment, concentration, back tension.

-Class fee for open sessions as posted at the Canton location is $15.00, check or cash.
-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.
-Wear snug fitting, layered clothing, ( must have closed toe shoes for out doors or can not shoot), tie loose hair back, and remove jewelry that may interfere with string release (usually bracelets, necklaces).
