Clophill Archery Club Development Program
Dear members
I
have put together a development course to give less experienced archers a
chance to start enjoying the fruits of their labour.
It is my hope that in the coming months we as a club will be able to offer
you a program of training to enable you to compete at a level which best
suits your abilities.
With the co-operation of a number of our experienced archers I am able to
offer each of you the opportunity to better your archery, to achieve a
level of understanding of the sport, to give you the confidence to make
your own decisions and most importantly to get more satisfaction from your
achievements.
What qualifies me to be
able to offer this level of expertise?
Absolutely nothing at all is the short answer, but please ask somebody who
has done the course whether or not they gained anything from it.
How do I manage to do
this?
Using the resources that are around me.
What are these resources?
The
senior members within the club with the experience of not only being
archers but parents too. Unlike a lot of clubs where helping competitors
is frowned upon, Clophill members are more than willing to help anyone
within the club that wants to learn.
What can I expect to
learn?
-
How to maintain your equipment.
-
How to assess your performance.
-
Analyzing your shots.
-
How to behave in competition (etiquette).
-
How to score your arrows.
-
Keeping records of your achievements.
-
Improving your technique
What will I get out of
it?
You
will get out as much or as little as you put into it. All that I require
from you is the promise that you will listen to the people that are trying
to help you, act on the advice that you have been given and most
importantly enjoy your sport.
