We got rained out yesterday so we’re planning on having archery practice today! We’re open for both Team and Club members starting at 3pm and we’ll be finishing up at 5pm.
If you have a boy or a girl that is between the ages of 8 and 18, and they have a desire to learn archery, bring them on out! Hope to see you there!

UPDATE: We’re desperate for archery so here’s what we’re going to do. We *WILL* be holding practice today *AND* tomorrow! Team members practice will be today from 3pm to 4pm. Combined Team and Club practice will be from 4pm to 5pm. For Sunday, 09/27/09 we will be holding a combined practice from 3pm to 5pm.
We will be leaving it up to you and your decisions on whether to come out today, tomorrow, or today and tomorrow. Wear sensible shoes. It will probably be damp out there today.

2009 Youth World Championships in Ogden, Utah, USA. Recurve Cadet Men Team Gold Medal match brings Korea vs. the Ukraine. Great solid shooting from these young archers.

2009 Outdoor World Cup from Santo Domingo where Hernandez from Spain competes against Elzinga from the Netherlands. Great conditions for this tournament and the arrows were flying well.

Very windy conditions from Antalya, Turkey where Korea was competing against China in this 3rd Stage match of the 2009 Archery World Cup. I can’t believe how well they were shooting under these very windy conditions. You can see their shirts blowing around and some of the advertising inflatables struggling against their restraints. Take a look!

I couldn’t embed the video here but check out this 40 minute high quality video. It shows video showing many different countries competing in recurve as well as compound archery competition. It looks like a great venue with high quality archery going on.

On behalf of USA Archery, Claudia Stevenson of Watching Arrows Fly presented President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama with two JOAD Gold Olympian pins and a certificate naming Sasha and Malia Obama honorary JOAD members.
“I was delighted that Archery was selected as one of the highlighted sports by World Sport Chicago,” said Stevenson. “Meeting the President and First Lady was an exhilarating, humbling and never-to-be-forgotten experience.”

Hello Archers!
Mother Nature has been giving us some great rain lately. Unfortunately, it’s not great for archery. Coach Mike checked out the field and it’s pretty soupy down there, the grass hasn’t been mowed, and in checking the radar it looks like the rain is not going to let up.
Based on all of those factors, we’re canceling archery practice for today. We’ll be back next Saturday to try again.
Thank you,
- Coach Kevin
