______________________________________________________

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) will be assigned 9 meter 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.
Great opportunity to 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 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 time slot of session. Arrive early  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 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 distance of 18 meters with correct 40 cm 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.

May 14 & 15: Quadrant Training, SUMMER CAMP REGISTRATION

THURSDAYS: Reminder-Discontinued-
Please email TO  learnarchery@yahoo.com  any days/times you may be interested in so we can gather a consensus for new days.

Training:
Quadrant training:
We will provide "quadrant training sheets" this session which allow students to see very clearly the patterns of the arrows on the targets by tracking them on these sheets


Write it Down
Training in archery focuses on form. Each step in your routine should take the same amount of time, each and every time, to get the best accuracy. Consistency is about repeat-ability. The entire shooting process should take about 10 seconds, with about 3 seconds to aim. Variations on that, results in variations at the target.

The best way to settle into a routine is to write it down, and note your specific variations for your routine. (example: I must always close my left eye, and turn my draw arm elbow out, and I put those elements into an auto-pilot sequence). As you add in new skills, old ones become sub-conscious elements. It is crucial that you add-in a specific element, work on mastering it, then add another. If you build on top of elements that don’t support your goals, you will be building sub-conscious elements that will be difficult to unlearn.

Be willing to expand and add new techniques. Poor form really shows up during a long set of shooting. Yes, we all step up, shoot, and repeat, but have something specific to work on.

Typical steps useful as an outline in various styles- compound, recurve, barebow. (note: aim is far down the list!) Add your personal variations!
1.Stance & posture
2.Nock
3. Hook & Grip
4. Set(Posture & Alignment)
5.Set-up (raise bow)
6.Draw to load
7.Anchor
8. Load & transfer then hold
9. Aim & expand
10.Release
11.Follow Through
