June 24 7 25:FOCUS:Steady Eyes at Aim; Steady Bow Arm at release"

We hope you will come out and shoot with us this weekend!
We will be closed next weekend (July 1st & 2nd) for Summer Break and classes resume July 8th.
For the new archers, if you'd like to join us- please ARRIVE 20 minutes EARLY TO GET YOUR GEAR AND BE ON LINE AT THE CLASS START TIME.

Training June  24 & 25 "FOCUS: Eyes Steady, Bowarm steady"

No classes next weekend July 1st & 2nd Closed for Summer Break

Training: "FOCUS, Eyes Steady!"
"Steady Eyes at Aim; Steady Bow Arm at release" 
Aiming requires just a few seconds- but does require the few seconds, and we teach the basic 1,2,3 timing from the beginning. Aiming is not done until the archer reaches “hold”. Aiming before that, produces inconsistent results.
Consciously get to hold, then allow  the time to focus through the aperture to the point you are aiming at. For bare--bow shooters-although there is no focus through the aperture-the training is the same.
A common break in eye focus is watching the arrow in flight-a quick turn of the head results in a change of eye focus right at the last second, changing the aiming point. Eyes should remain on the target at the chosen aiming point –“laser pointed”; head remains steady, fingers are released by the last rotation and coil of the scapula to the spine.
The bow arm stays steady "until you hear the arrow hit the paper". We see many archers dropping the bow arm "with" the shot. Yes a wrist snap occurs, but a steady bow arm- solid as a steel post, can tighten up your group, and often results in picking up an extra point or two.

Take a look at world champion Brady Ellison and how his eye focus and bow arm remains at the target after the release of the arrow.

_______________________________________________
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/AAP 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 A member- print USA Archery membership card
  • Those seasoned JOAD AAP 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/AAP 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.
