Nov 9 & 10 TRAINING: Tuning Arrows; Focus on the Process

Parents, please share this info with your students!!
Please see info on bottom of post about the  25meter FITA indoor competitions.

Saturday Nov 9 & Sunday Nov 10
Weather predictions cold Saturday, so dress in layers as we may be outside if clear, or inside if too cold. Check around back to see if we are set up outside.

    Saturday: Please arrive no later than 10:15 to gear up and check in
   Sunday: Please arrive no later than 3:15 to gear up and check in


NOTE:
The next tournaments are at 25meters with 60 cm faces, and if outside, we will have a few of those set up, for those interested. Also 18 meter set ups for those tuning up for indoor championships.

TRAINING: Tuning arrows; Following the "Process"
You often hear us talk about how stay in the "process" is the key to meeting your goals. We have the Hot Soda rounds at the end of class, as a reminder of that concept. If your thoughts are on "gotta get the gold" and not on the process ( feet, breath, hips, set, set up, draw, load, etc) you weaken your results. We will review "the process" steps this weekend.


Tuning Arrows.
Did you know that your perfectly tuned arrows will become stiffer by adding cresting? Or your too weak arrows, which can't be cut to make them stiffer, can be made stiffer by adding long feathers?
Many details can change an arrow result to weaker or stiffer besides cutting to make it stiffer,  or adding heavier point weight to make it weaker.
Changing brace height, adding an extra nock locator on the string, changing to a tie-on nock, adding feathers-many things can help you (or challenge you) in tuning up your groups.

Please note: Class will end promptly at 11:30 as we have an orientation which starts immediately after the class (Orientations always first and second Saturdays)




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).

 
Please check-your division may have changed due to an upcoming birthday!
Divisions are based on the year in which your age changes-
for example- if you turn 15 sometime this year, you are a Cadet, no longer a cub.
You can always choose a more demanding higher division. ( example Cadet can shoot adult/senior)
