_______________________________________________
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.

July 15 & 16, 2017: "Gotta Connect"

We hope you will come out and shoot with us this weekend!

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 July 15 & 16 :"Gotta Connect"

Training: "Gotta Connect"
Last training session we worked with the breath and using the diaphragm.
This weekend, we will focus on the connection at the jaw with our string hand, which helps rotate the elbow further back, and we will review how to maintain that loose grip on the bow.


Equipment:
We will review “brace height” on the bow string and its importance.

String hand Correct position: solid anchor-no space between hand and jaw line. Pinky touches neck.
 

CORRECT.
(courtesy KSL International)


Common error:

Opening - does not "lock" along jaw. Relies on index knuckle. Can't get elbow around behind the arrow line.

 

Parents, please share this info with your students!

July 8 & 9: "Breathe"

We hope you will come out and shoot with us this weekend!

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 July 8 & 9 :"BREATHE"

Training:" BREATHE!"
Training: Breathing
Breathing should be as consistent as the other elements of your "process". Timing is a big part of the steps you are going through. If you take a deep breath and hold it, then pull back the bow string, you will find that you are "up in your chest" and loose the flat back and center core stability. The sight will jump and beat with your heart, making aiming challenging, and you may release the string prematurely because you simply can't hold your breath anymore.

Breathing should be timed to bring air in as you "Crack open" the bow, and slowly let about half of it out as you come to rest at full draw anchor.
A deep diaphragmatic settling breath should be taken and exhaled prior to raising the bow.

While raising the bow inhale deeply and naturally, using diaphragmatic breathing , which will create a natural feeling of gaining strength.
Approximately 30-50% of the breath must be let out slowly and naturally when coming to full draw, but before anchoring, and then held from this point for the few seconds of aiming with an inflated/tightened abdomen till after the release and released during the follow-through.

Parents, please share this info with your students!
