Attention New and Returning JOAD Members: Sign Up TODAY for April!

With one of the largest Junior Olympic Archery Development programs in the region, Hall's Arrow is proud to announce the formation of JOAD classes for Spring 2008. Art Hall established the Hall's Arrow youth archery program soon after opening the range in 1964. Our focus then, as it is today, is to help young archers to get a solid foundation in the sport of archery, anchored in the knowledge of proper shooting technique. Art Hall's unique approach to teaching archery has been passed along to our team members with whom Art continues to personally work. Our JOAD instructional team works hard each week to give personalized instruction and relevant, content-rich group lessons to each class, ensuring that our JOAD members have the tools they need to succeed in archery, whether their goal is recreational shooting or tournament competition.

As part of a well-rounded program we offer the opportunity for students to keep track of their progress and to set goals by keeping a monthly record of their scores. The national Archery Association, which regulates JOAD standards nationwide, has established an "Official Ranking System" designating various skill levels. JOAD Official Qualifying rounds are held each month and allow our archers to measure their progress using a scoring system, though any archer not wishing to keep score does not have to do so.

Over the past 15 years students in our program have won more than 300 first-place Championships in State, Regional and National competitions. In addition, four Hall's Arrow JOAD students were part of U.S. World Championship Teams, and one student, Karen Scavotto, was on the 2000 U.S. Olympic Team.

Reserve your choice of a class time soon for the Spring JOAD program! Classes are limited to twelve archers per session in order to ensure a low student-to-instructor ratio. Students who wish to rent equipment are welcome to do so; however, all students are required to purchase and armguard and finger tab, and to have had at least one private lesson before joining the program, which can be arranged by giving us a call.

All of us at Hall's Arrow encourage you to call us or stop by for further information on Junior Olympic Archery Development, and we look forward to seeing you indoors for our best year ever!
