USA Archery Club Level Archery offers so much for youth and adult archers. Club-level training includes advanced archery training, mental management training, and achievement awards for youth and Adults. Learning will be focused on the fine details of popper shooting form and mental management to prepare archers for competition. We will also cover maintaining a bow, bow tuning, and arrow smithing. The goal of our club-level archery program is to produce complete archers through cycles of continuous improvement. Club-level participation will teach competitive rules, what to expect at competitions, and how rules differ between the governing bodies of the sport. **See below for USAA recreational membership requirements.
Members may also earn “pins” through scoring achievements in sanctioned Pin Shoots and competitions. Pins are much like merit badges in scouting, but these achievement awards are for youth and adults. Instead of becoming an Eagle Scout the archer’s ultimate goal is to be in the .5% of archers that reach the Gold Olympian pin. The Bronze, Silver, and Gold Olympian pins are awarded directly by USA Archery. The gold Olympian pin does not mean that you will make the US Olympic team however, athletes that achieve this level of performance are likely to go to compete at the highest levels of the sport. **See below for USAA full membership requirements.
