Almost every Saturday, from 9:00 AM till noon, Cheyenne Field Archers allows Tumbleweed Archery the use of the their facilities. Tumbleweed Archery is the local Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) club. JOAD is a National Archery Association (NAA) program that promotes the sport of archery to young people. It stresses getting a bow in hand quickly (instead of boring the kid with lectures), yet doing so safely. JOAD recognizes that it is far more important that archery be a fun and positive experience such that the young archer will continue to enjoy the sport throughout life. JOAD is open to all archers under the age of 18. The program is intended to provide the necessary guidance for the recreational archer who is interested in archery purely for the enjoyment of shooting a bow and arrow. The JOAD program is also an achievement program. A system of qualifying rounds and achievement levels is designed to provide a challenge for youth in archery achievement. Success at each level is dependent on the individual's skill and willingness to apply themselves. Each archer can advance at his or her own pace, progressing to the next distance after completing the previous level. If you have a child under the age of 18 wanting to try the archery experience, phone CFA’s clubhouse at 638-9951 any Saturday morning, or better yet, come out to CFA’s archery range on a Saturday morning. The program is guided by John Wilson, a NAA Level 3 coach. Equipment is available. |
