JOAD/SOAD
As one of the key USA Archery National Ranking Programs, membership at the youth, adult or family level is now required to earn any rank through the JOAD/SOAD programs, effective January 1 2014.
Join online for adult, youth, or family membership level at https://webpoint.usarchery.org/wp/Memberships/Join.wp choose "Learn Archery" as your club affiliation
You will need a current Learn Archery membership with the USA Archery full membership to receive pins/lanyards.
Current full members :
These changes will not affect current adult, youth or family members of USA Archery, with a current Learn Archery JOAD SOAD club membership. These member students may continue participating in the JOAD/SOAD rank earning programs, register for tournaments, camps etc. and that full membership continues to provide liability insurance.
New Students, not earning rank
Class participant student needs minimum USA Archery “RECREATIONAL” membership ($15)
USA Archery requires a minimum RECREATIONAL membership ($15) to participate in JOAD club classes, mail-in tournaments, recreational camps. The introductory recreational status ensures the athlete agrees to abide by the Code of Conduct and membership guidelines, and it allows USA Archery to cover the RECREATIONAL status members with insurance policies during their participation at the JOAD/SOAD Clubs. A RECREATIONAL membership can be upgraded later to a full membership by adding only the difference in fee should the student wish to participate in JOAD/SOAD rank earning programs, tournaments, etc.
Join online for recreational, or adult, youth, family full membership level at https://webpoint.usarchery.org/wp/Memberships/Join.wp choose "Learn Archery" as your club affiliation.
(You can not earn rank at Recreational membership level when scoring, but can upgrade during your membership year if desired).
NOTE:
Next tournaments will be held in Snellville Feb 21-23.

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 Learn Archery & USA Archery 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 obtain and fill out your score card with name, distance, and date .
- First scoring arrow begins at 10:30 Saturday and 3:30 on Sunday, Arrive early if you need to have practice/sight-in shots.
- In order to complete the 30 (or 36 arrows if outdoors) students must be geared up and on the line at 10:30 (or 3:30 Sunday) 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" start.
- Those seasoned JOAD SOAD members using program arrows will start with three arrows, unless class numbers permit 6 arrows, and may not finish in time allotted.
- Adults not scoring at their appropriate distances with correct size faces, or students not members of JOAD/SOAD using program arrows will only use 3 arrows for time considerations for those earning rank and will not end with a completed card.
- New students focus will be to learn protocol, and how to complete the score cards, and will shoot only 3 arrows ( will not end with a completed a score card due to 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.

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.
