April 29 & 30th 2017: Refine Form

We hope you will come out and shoot with us this weekend!
NOTE: We may only be able to accept checks and cash this weekend if our credit app is not functioning.

For the new archers, if you'd like to join us- please ARRIVE (15 minutes before start time) EARLY TO GET YOUR GEAR AND BE ON LINE AT THE CLASS START TIME.
 
Training April 29th & 30th
Refine Elements


This week we will  review form "elements".
 
 Training- Fundamentals review: BE in the PROCESS

Even though some days you may just feel like slingin’ arrows- train by focusing on one specific element. (examples:HOOK: fingers positioned on the string , GRIP:hand seated in position in the grip;  breathing;  head position does not move; string touches nose, etc,..something form related, and specific.) . Yes, we all step up, shoot, and repeat, but, to improve,  have something specific to work on.

Add-in a specific element, work on mastering it, then add another .Be willing to expand and add new techniques. 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.

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

_______________________________________________
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 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.
