There are some storms in the area, combined that we’re short on coaches for tonight. We’ll cancel for tonight and hopefully next week’s weather will be better for us.

Take care,

We’ve been working on a new program to be implemented in our archery club, called the ‘Archery Excellence’ program. We feel that our club members should be more well-rounded in their knowledge of archery and archery skills. So, without further ado, below is the overview of the Archery Excellence program.

Purpose:
To challenge our club members to grow not just in the skill of shooting the bow and arrow, but to learn more about the sport in its entirety. The Archery Experience levels are intended to become much more difficult and thus more prestigious and desired by the archers.

Achievement Levels:

1. Target Patch – Level 1 :: 3 page test on safety information
2. White Patch – Level 2 :: 3 page test on archery shot process
3. Blue Patch – Level 3 :: 1 on 1 shot making test with archery coach
4. Red Patch – Level 4 :: In depth paper on a prior approved topic by archery coaches
5. Yellow Patch – Level 5 :: Archery related presentation to the entire club on a prior approved topic separate from Level 4 paper.

As you can see, each level becomes more difficult. We anticipate that to achieve all of the levels, that it would take an archer several years. Do you have questions about the program? We’re here to help. Just ask one of the club coaches and we’ll do our best to answer your questions.

See you at practice!

Tomorrow is St. Patricks day *and* archery practice. To help celebrate, feel free to wear green tomorrow.

It may rain on us a bit so make sure to dress appropriately.

See you tomorrow for setup and practice.

I hope everyone is safe and secure from the storms that roared through last night.

We have decided to hold practice and our mini-tournament this morning. Yes, it will be wet, and we may get a sprinkle, but I think we’re in the clear. Please dress warmly, in layers. Waterproof shoes, or a change of shoes, might be helpful.

To participate in this 4-H mail-in tournament, we required a registration. We have approximately 15 archers registered. The tournament will be 36 arrows at a single distance. Please allow extra time to complete the tournament as I expect we’ll finish around 1pm or so.

All other archers are welcome to come practice. Of course, we’ll be holding our beginner lessons as well.

We’ll see you at 10:30am!

Just a quick reminder that there will *NOT* be practice Saturday. The 4-H State Indoor Tournament is that day. Please wish our participating members the best of luck at the tournament tomorrow. It should be a lot of fun!

Regards,
Coach Kevin Cully
Forsyth County Archery Club

We’ve checked the radar and we’ve checked with General Lee, the weather prognosticating groundhog from Atlanta. It looks like the rain will hold off this morning so … we’ll hold archery practice.

While the weatherman and a semi-subterranean rodent are not predicting rain, there still may be a stray shower. Please dress appropriately in layers with some sort of water resistant coat/jacket. If your coat is too bulky, just slip it off while on the shooting line and put it back on when done shooting.

REMINDER! Bring your $15 today to pay for the 4-H Indoor State Tournament. Cash or check. Correct change is appreciated.

We’ll see you on the field,
Coach Kevin Cully
