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.

State Tournament and Three Rivers Classic
Here are the details on two great archery events coming up this Spring. Both events you will need to register and pay for individually, as these are outside the “normal” tournaments that the club arranges.
First up is the Three Rivers Archery Classic, Saturday March 16th at Crowfoot. This is open to all archers and adults. The cost is $12 per shooter, or $25 per family of 3 or more. This is a great chance for parents to shoot with their kids!
AWARDS:
- FITA 600 round – 3 places in each division (male, female, recurve, compound).
- JOAD Indoor – 3 places in each merit class (recurve, compound). Genders
combined. (Note this is awarded by MERIT class, not by age).
Details here: Three Rivers Archery Classic
Then our season finale event, the 49th Annual Pennsylvania J.O.A.D. State Indoor Championship, Saturday April 6th at the State Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg.
State JOAD Tournament Registration
State JOAD Tournament T-shirt Order Form
We are working on getting a block of rooms reserved for Falcon JOAD at a nearby hotel, so more details about that will be forthcoming. This tournament is held in conjunction with the PSAA State Indoor Championship, so there is an opportunity for adults or JOAD archers to shoot that, too. Details on the PSAA website.
Pictures Jan 14th
Monday practices begin this week. They will run roughly from 6:30 to 8:00, but we understand that weekday schedules can be rough, so just do your best. Do contact Mrs. Brown if you can’t make practice at all.
On January 14th we will have a photographer there to take team and individual pictures. So:
- Wear your uniform!
- Try to be on time at 6:30.
- PLEASE let us know if you won’t be there.
- Picture order forms will be available this week at practice.
- If you are getting individual photos, bring CLEAN SHOES with you to practice. That way you don’t track mud onto his backdrop.
