NEWS:
Tournament News: 
Our team members did great at the recent KAC USA Archery sanctioned tournament! Competition was stiff from local schools and archery programs, and a college. 79 competitors in the morning and afternoon sessions.
Results:
Alex Goetomo: Gold;   William Arnold: Silver;  Skyler Lansford: Silver;  John Arnold: Bronze; Elina Posey: Gold;  Karena Spratt: Gold; Jenna Biggins: Silver; Rosa Williams: Bronze.
Nice work!!  Many personal bests.

A "Hunger Games" tournament was held on Saturday at Big Woods Goods. Jackson Harpine took Silver.

Training while away from class
When on vacation, or when not attending class, keep your skills up with the techniques we have been working on.
We will focus on tune up during class this weekend, and review steps to use while away from class.
Some include:

• Do SPT's with your own bow. In front of a mirror, time yourself as you go through your form elements. Hold at anchor as long as your form stays proper, then let down. Rest for twice as long as you were in "hold" position. Do it again, again, again etc, and as you do you will have less and less time in perfect "hold" and then quit. Try again another day-building time as you go. (20 seconds held, 40 seconds rest; 12 seconds held- 24 seconds rest-etc)
• Film your shooting sequence and review.
• Use your stretch or string bands in front of a mirror
• Work with the paint bucket for draw hand release
• Go to the KSL International sight and review athletes form
• Work on your stance-mark a floor area with sting, tape etc and step away, then step to the foot position. then step back, and step to it again-repeat, repeat, etc.

Archery Class Training Details: SCORE
BASICS:
Indoor distances are either 9 or 18 meters, with either a 60 or 40 cm face.
New students, adult or youth, may be assigned larger and closer distances as this class is designed to offer the fundamentals of scoring, while providing continued training to enable students to progress to further distances.


Each month, on the third weekend we score.
New students begin to learn how to play the game of archery!
Learn the ins and outs of what each ring is worth, the power of the lines that edge the rings, what arrows may help in a strategy to gain points, and learn how to keep score.
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 a Tournament event more comfortable .
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 arrows for indoors, 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.
• Those with their own arrows may shoot 6 arrows each end which will allow completion of scorecard if "on time" start.
• Earning pins? must be both a USA Archery Youth, Adult or Family member & Learn Archery JOAD or SOAD member- print USA Archery membership card
• Those seasoned JOAD SOAD members using program arrows will start with three arrows, unless class numbers permit 6 arrows each end. ( student may not finish in time allotted if using only 3 arrows).
• New students focus will be to learn protocol, and how to complete the score cards, and will shoot 3 arrows per end (will not end with a completed a score card due to time considerations.) Adults not scoring at their appropriate distances with correct size faces, or students not members of JOAD/SOAD and using program arrows ,will use 3 arrows each end for time considerations for those earning rank , and may not end with a completed card.

Class may run longer during scoring sessions.

Parents, please share the class plan info with your students!!
Class Plans:
 November 8th & 9th :"Crack Open the Bow"
 Alignment- we often talk about how the process is angular, not linear.
The object is to start the bow hands and bow at that angled alignment "with" the foot angle at "set", and CRACK OPEN THE BOW into set-up. This process is not a linear "push/Pull". The bow string is NOT directly behind the riser but slightly right for a right handed archer and the riser is slightly left. This starts the power rotation. This is the place where an archer can get that loading we all talk about.

We will review techniques and form relating to initial position in form to gain that angular start, and "crack open the bow"!
