Important: Information for 02/11/2012 Scoring Round - 300 + Upcoming Tournaments

Dear Fellow Archers,

On 02/11/2012 (Saturday), we will be shooting a 30-arrow scoring round, giving us a score out of 300.

We will be shooting 10 ends of 3 arrows.

This scoring practice is in an effort to prepare for the upcoming U.S. National Indoor Championships at Tulare, CA, on 2/24/2012-2/26/2012.

In an actual tournament, scoring will be out of 1200 (120 arrows), which is split into 30 arrows + 30 arrows on the first day and 30 arrows + 30 arrows on the second day.

We will be shooting just one of the four 30-arrows.

In order to finish on time, we must be ready to proceed by 4pm.

That means, archers must already have set up their equipment and be ready to stretch by 4pm!

Please try to come before 4pm on 02/11/2012 and be ready to go at 4pm!


Are you all excited for the upcoming outdoors season??

Below are lists of competitions that count toward your state or national ranking.

State or national ranking can be achieved only by those who are members of USArchery (membership can be obtained here for a $35 fee: http://usarchery.org/membership).

For state, you must attend three of the four tournaments listed.

State indoor was in January, so those of you who missed it must attend all upcoming state competitions!

As for nationals, you must attend National Target Championships/Easton JOAD National Championships (two events combined into one) in order to obtain a national rank.

For both state and national ranking, the more tournaments you attend, your rank generally increases (not always!) because rankings are determined by averaging the ranks you placed in each tournament.



Thank you, Stephanie, for the list of competitions for 2012!

There are always more non-ranking related tournaments to compete in at  http://calarchery.net/index.php?option=com_jevents&view=year&task=year.listevents&Itemid=44  (state events) or http://usarchery.org/events (national events).

After Parents' Meeting ~ (Tuition Change)

Thank you parents for attending the parents' meeting and contacting via email.

As we have discussed in the meeting, the cost of the Archery Outpost went up from this year.

The tuition, therefore, will increase from the $100 to $120 per month, just for indoor season.

Please be aware of the price change when paying for January.

Our club practice time will remain 4pm to 7pm.

Our blog's events section has been updated with several upcoming tournaments.

Our blog's lessons section has also been updated with Coach Lee's available dates for private lessons this month.

Thank you.

학부모 모임에 참석해 주신 여러 부모님과 이메일로 연락주신 여러 부모님께 감사드립니다.

회의에서 말씀드린것 처럼 갑작스럽게 Archery Outpost의 사용료가  인상됨에 따라

올 1월부터는 인도어 연습 기간동안  월회비가 100불에서 120불로 변경됨을 알려드립니다.

회비 납부에 착오없으시기 바랍니다.

클럽 시간은 종전과 같이 토요일 오후 4시에서 7시 입니다.

이벤트 섹션에 각종 대회들이 업데잇 되었습니다. 참고하시기 바랍니다.

Last Club Practice of the Year 12/24/2011 / 2012 State Indoor

On December 24 (Saturday), we will be practicing from 1pm-4pm.

The location will be El Dorado Park, if it does not rain.

If it rains on that day, we will practice at Archery Outpost, our usual indoor practice range.

On December 31, the last Saturday of December, we will not be having a practice.


Thanks to everyone's support and cooperation, our Christmas Party was fantastic!

We were able to enjoy all the great food, watch Coach Lee play the accordion, and hold a little club competition.

Please thank our parents for planning such a great night!


To those of you interested in competing at California State Indoors, the competition is only a few weeks away.

The tournament is on January 6 to January 8, 2012.

There are two tournaments on that weekend, actually.

First one is called State JOAD Indoor Championships, which is a competition that does NOT go towards your state ranking.

It is a one day shoot on Friday.

The other one is State Indoor Championships, which DOES count for your state ranking,.

This tournament will be held on Saturday and Sunday.

To register for State JOAD Indoor Championships, go to this link:

http://www.calarchery.net/index.php?option=com_jevents&task=icalrepeat.detail&evid=224&Itemid=44&year=2012&month=01&day=06&title=sac-state-indoor-championships&uid=9af307fdb2fa6001ae4f50ddef48d1f7

Attending tournaments is the best way to challenge yourself and compete against people from all over the state.

I strongly encourage everyone to compete if he can, in order to experience what a real tournament is like and learn what he must do to become a better archer :)

I hope everyone can attend this tournament!

Thank you!
