2014 Joy Lee Archery Indoor Championships

Join us for our 2014 Joy Lee Archery Indoor Championships!
What better way to kick off the new year than with a fun competition with your fellow Joy Lee archers.
This will be a great time to catch up with friends from other clubs, make new ones, and warm-up for the National Indoor in March.

The competition will consist of 30 arrows (10 ends of 3 arrows).  

We will be offering a morning and an afternoon line so that we can accommodate everyone.  

Archers in the Youth and Beginner divisions will shoot in the morning.  

Intermediate, Advanced, and JDT divisions will shoot in the afternoon. 

Please see below for which division you fit into.

If possible please attend the shooting designated for your division.

However we understand that this may not fit your schedule. 

If this is the case, then you have the option select a shooting line of your choice.

You will still be competing in the same division though, just at a different time from the rest of those archers.

Anaheim CA 92801

I'd like to introduce our new board members.

See you at practice!

Reminders for November

Hey Archers,

Please remind your parents to attend the parents' meeting this coming Saturday 11/2 (1st week of every month) at 3pm.
The parents' meeting will be at the tables next to the parking lot.

Starting from next practice (after this week's practice), we will move indoors to prepare for the upcoming indoor season next year.
Not this week...starting next week (11/9)!
I will post the address next week, just to make sure there are no confusions for this week's practice.

See you all this Saturday at the El Dorado Park Archery Range!

End of September/October Updates

Please don't forget to remind your parents that there will be a parents' meeting on the first week of October! (that's next week)
This is their only chance to sign you up for private lessons for the entire month.

Our overall winner for our monthly club tournament of September was David Lee!
He was actually undefeated for the entire month!
The point system starts all over from week 1, and so everyone starts off from 0 points next week.
You can be our new overall club champion for October :)
Please check out the "Monthly Club Competition" tab above to look at the final results list and the pictures of all our monthly winners.

For those of you who didn't know (you should know by now...I posted about this tournament at least two or three times!), next Saturday 10/5/2013 is the "Duel in the Desert Trials," a trial tournament between Arizona and California.
This tournament is to pick the California team to compete in the actual "Duel in the Desert" tournament, which will be on the last weekend of October (the team is only for college and senior divisions!)
Nonetheless, it'll be a great way to gain tournament experience!
You have the opportunity to compete in two tournaments in October!
The location is our usual practice range, El Dorado Park.
Just scroll down a little, and you'll find all the information you need.

Also, there is an "Equipment" tab above.
Many of you have requested the page to sell/buy equipment, and it has been there for several months now!
Anyone can comment on that page, so please use it to buy/sell/trade equipment!

Club Survey

Hi everyone,

Good job to those who competed at the Pacific Coast Championships in Sacramento this weekend!

It was raining and the second half of the long distances was cancelled due to the crazy weather (lots of rain with thunder/lightning, strong wind), but everyone pulled through really well!

For those of you who want to gain more experience, be sure to check out the monthly qualifiers at our usual practice range (El Dorado Park) and the Duel in the Desert (tournament between California and Arizona...also at El Dorado Park).

If you scroll down this page just a little, you will find all the information I posted earlier about these tournaments (links, dates...)!

As all of you know, we have implemented our new tournament-orientated club practice last month so that every week is a tournament.

Everyone seems focused on shooting well these days...perhaps because points, rankings, and prizes are involved now? :)

Please take this quick survey and let me know what you think about our new format!

Here is the link to the survey:

See you all next Saturday!

September Parents' Meeting Reminder

This is a reminder that there is a monthly meeting on the first Saturday of every month; the meeting for September will be September 7.
After dropping off your kid(s), please stay for the parents meeting.
We will cover important information including private lesson schedule for the month of September.

Also, for those of you who want to gain more experience, there are plenty of outdoor tournaments available!
Though the season may be over for national rankings, there are still tournaments going on!
Skill comes with experience...especially reading the wind.
I strongly recommend that everyone compete at the remaining several tournaments, even if they are not for national ranking.

Also, be sure to check out the new tab on our blog, "Monthly Club Competition."
I will be posting the results list and the overall winner from each month.
The winner for the month of August who also won a custom target bale was Geun Woo (Kevin) Kim.
After a few months, we will be able to see how well everyone is improving, discover weaknesses/strengths based on rankings or scores at different rounds (ie. gold game really tests your mental strength!), etc.

That's it for now!
