Falcon JOAD Tournament
The tournament hosted by Falcon JOAD is scheduled for the weekend of January 17, 18, and 19. Our Falcon archers will shoot on Friday night (Jan 17th) at 6:30. We will have pizza at the club so they can eat before they shoot. Please do your best to be at the club by 6:00 so we can begin on time.
All archers need to bring a food donation for the shoot. The signup sheet for food donations is linked here (or you can get to it from the “Signups” tab in the Website.) Remember if you have two archers, please sign up for two items.
The signup sheet for Tournament Jobs is linked here (or you can get it from the “Current Year” tab in the Website). Choose a box and enter your name. The “50/50 tickets” job is for YOUTH members, aka the archers. All families are required to have at least one person work one of the other jobs on the sheet.
Holiday Party Dec. 21st
Our annual JOAD Holiday Party will be on December 21st. Here’s what you want to know!
- Practice will start at 9:00 as usual (so be there at 8:30 to set up your gear)
- After a few ends of practice, we’ll have some outrageously fun archery games!
- Kitchen items will be FREE, and everyone is encouraged to bring something to share. JOAD is buying the drinks.
- Use the Kitchen Signups page to let others know what you will bring. That way we don’t end up with 24 fruitcakes.
State Indoor 2019 Results
Final results from the 49th Annual Pennsylvania J.O.A.D. State Indoor Championship are now posted.
There is also a Flickr album shared by Eric Jones of Crowfoot, who took some great shots of the competition and the awards presentation.
Outdoor JOAD
JOAD shooters are invited to begin outdoor training this spring, Mondays starting on April 29th. Practices will begin at 5:30, and shooting will end at dusk. When the weather doesn’t allow for outdoor shooting, practice will be held indoors. Please dress appropriately each week for either indoor or outdoor shooting. Please remember to pay your $1 range fee for each practice.
We understand that some families may need to arrive late and some may need to leave early. This is not a problem, we only ask that you do so with as little disruption to the other shooters as possible. Details about how to safely enter and exit the outdoor FITA range will be covered, and reviewed, at the first couple of practices (it’s easy).The focus of this training will be to get archers ready for the 140th Eastern Archery Assoc. and JOAD State Outdoor shoot, which will be held the weekend of June 28th at Gold-n-Grain. JOAD competitions are on Friday, while the EAA youth and adult competitions are on Saturday and Sunday. See these links for more details.
