New Club Practice Format

As many of you have seen, our club is adopting a new practice format for the more experienced archers.
Beginners will continue to receive more individualized instructions at the phone book area.
We will no longer just shoot arrows during club; you must do that on your own time.
We will move onto practicing the actual tournament situations, especially because we have so many high-performance archers in our club.
We have 8 Junior Dream Team archers and even one Youth World USA team member!
We will have competitions every week, and the highest ranked archer from all divisions (based on total points) at the end of the month will receive a custom target bale with the archer's name on it (courtesy of Chris Lee and his family).

The distances are set at 60 meters, 40 meters, and 20 meters; you must shoot at the appropriate distance as advised by the coaches.
Our monthly practice schedule is as follows (subject to change at the discretion of the coaches):
Week 1 - 36 arrow qualification round.
Week 2 - Gold game up to 25 points.
Week 3 - Elimination round.
Week 4 - Team round / "mystery" game.

Also, one quick notes...PLEASE PICK UP YOUR OWN TRASH.
There have been empty water bottles lying around all over the field after practice.
Please, don't bring any water if you're not going to pick up after yourself!
The coaches and parents should not have to clean up after you!
