Wasting Arrows Junior Olympic Archery Development
Wasting Arrows is happy to offer a Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) program to young archers in our area. The program is run through USA Archery (our Olympic Team) and combines the best aspects of a competitive team and a group lesson.
Students enrolled in our JOAD program are taught by Level 4 USA Archery Coach Lystra Ptts and our staff of Level 2 Certified Instructors and Level 3 NTS Coaches on a weekly basis. They are also eligible to shoot in any USA Archery sanctioned event. Once a month the group shoots a 30 arrow indoor round and can earn achievement pins through USA Archery.
