The program is specifically designed to grow with the archer. The Club?s introductory JOAD classes teach the fundamentals of proper archery shooting form. As the young archer develops, they will learn more advanced techniques. Both recurve and compound bows are used in club activities and in tournaments. JOAD archers who use a compound bow can train to compete in local and regional tournaments, and can earn a seat on a youth world team to compete in other countries representing the United States on behalf of USA Archery. Recurve archers can compete likewise, with the added benefit of being able to use their recurve bow to try out for a spot on the U.S. Olympic Archery team which is selected and managed by USA Archery. For more information about the Monument Beach Sportsman?s Club JOAD program or other youth programs offered by the Club, interested parents may visit the Club?s website www.monumentbeachsports.com or contact Garett Pennucci at mbscjoad@gmail.com.
