Prepared:It’s a great time to be thinking about what you want to accomplish as an archer. Some students are new and just know they want to shoot and find out about archery, the basics and variables in equipment, and have just begun to get a feel for the programs basic equipment. More seasoned archers may have new equipment , or have been shooting for a while with their own equipment or those using program equipment are ready for their own starter equipment.
What do you see for yourself as an archer? Does a competition interest you? How does that look? What will it take to get there? Do you want to be able to shoot longer distances, or perhaps beat a score you earned previously. Maybe have better endurance while shooting, or understand your equipment better, and find ways to make it perform to its optimum ability. Perhaps find ways to draw out your own optimum ability as well. What kind of training and practice time are you able to invest to meet your goals.
Several first tournament experiences offer a place to feel the nerves, test your scoring abilities and "get your feet wet", and are an excellent training component in beginning stages as a student can attend for the understanding and experience only, leaving expectations of the "win" behind. Several indoor opportunities will be available in November, and there are still a few "900" round outdoor tournaments. Indoor State and National Championships are typically held in late January and now is a good time to look at what equipment changes might be typically made when moving indoors. Something to set GOALS for. We will shoot distances this weekend, and review what the differences are in indoor and outdoor set ups.
