  • ARCHERY 101 FUNDAMENTALS of ARCHERY During the Course the Instructor Will Review, Archery Safety, Shooting Form, and Types of Equipment
    2012 ARCHERY 101 FUNDAMENTALS OF ARCHERY During the course the Instructor will review, archery safety, shooting form, and types of equipment. Archery 101 Page 1 Texas Archery Academy www.texasarcheryacademy.org Archery 101 Course Curriculum This Archery 101 course consists of four sessions, each being one hour. Archery 101 introduces archery safety, shooting form, archery styles, equipment and scoring rules. Each session offers “show and tell” discussion for fundamental archery education. The majority of each class is just a lot of FUN shooting, but with structured drills and practice, along with skills. Students learn a neutral style of archery that builds the basics of a solid shooting form. Easy to use equipment allows skill progress, without emphasis on strength or gender. The program curriculum uses the JOAD/AAA training and awards system, a nationally recognized archery program developed by USA Archery and the international FITA “Feathers and Arrows” archery education program. This combination is the first step in a “black belt” style, self-paced, achievement program in target archery. Regular group classes combine fundamental archery education curriculum and shooting skill development. Along the way to completion, the archer will achieve three award pin levels: Green, Purple and Gray. Each has a shooting proficiency test and education curriculum. Page 1 Texas Archery Academy www.texasarcheryacademy.org Archery 101 Introduction Welcome to Archery! Through the ages, this primitive weapon has fed families, conquered civilizations, and provided a wonderful source of recreation. As a martial art, archery helps build self-confidence and control. As a sport, it ranks with golf as a challenge to building individual skill.
