For those of you who haven't done so already, I advise you to book your plane tickets and hotels ASAP.

April Parent Meeting

Congrats to everyone who competed in the 2013 AAE Arizona Cup!
Despite the unprecedented wind (especially the newer archers) and the longevity, we all endured well.

We usually have our monthly parents meeting on the first week of every month, but because so many people were competing in Arizona Cup and so few people were present at the club practice, we decided to move the parents meeting to this Saturday 4/13/2013.

So parents:
Please stop by after dropping off your kids!

See you then!

Quick Reference Guide

Joad/Youth Age Divisions

The first two distances (before "/") are shot on the larger 122cm target.
The latter two distances (after "/") are shot on the smaller 80cm target.
(For nationals, the 80cm target has down to the 5 ring only. Any arrow shot outside the 5 ring is a miss.)

"Through the calendar year" means the year you turn that age.
For example, in the cadet category, consider someone who is born in 1996, regardless of the month he was born.
He will turn 17 sometime in 2013, whether in January or December does not matter, and so this year will be his last year to compete as cadet.

Through the calendar year of their 20th birthday

90M,70M /50M,30M

Joy Lee Archery Indoor Tournament

Hey guys,

On 2/16/2013, we will have our indoor tournament in preparation for the imminent Indoor Nationals, which is on the last weekend of February.

The time will be the same as our usual practice time, 3:30~6:30 p.m.

Please register at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1E4sAUxG5GPnsxnyPfpNm90nDRCmG6800OnUCMHZ-Y_k/viewform

For beginners, this will be a great opportunity to learn the format of an actual competition and see what score they can shoot.

For more advanced archers, our indoor tournament will be a great "mirror" to reflect upon and discover what they need to work on for the next few days before Indoor Nationals.

All Joy Lee archers (ANC, San Diego, Long Beach) have been invited!

Even though this is not an official ranking tournament, let's treat this as the real deal!
