Straight N Arrow North

First Beginner Class

June 24, 2006

Ben Avery Shooting Facility

Phoenix, Arizona

 


 

The inaugural Ben Avery JOAD North Beginner had a hot start with 9 youth taking part.

  • Parents and family sat in the shade as Level 2 Instructor Heather Collins-Brunelle went through safety, form, process and shooting on blank bales.

  • The plan is to have the students go thru an 8 week course and finish with solid target archery proficiency.

  • Frequent water breaks were taken on the more than warm and sunny day.

  • The day finished with the always fun, balloon shoot.

  • The program serves the north Phoenix area and the valley at large.

Volunteers are encouraged to come early to help set up and put away at the end of class.

 

Ben Avery staff asked the Arizona JOAD community to conduct youth archery classes as part of Ben Avery focus on youth programs.

  • Thank you Straight N Arrow JOAD for stepping up.

  • The bows, arrows and equipment are being lent to the program by Arizona Junior and Collegiate Archery,

  • This is the third JOAD club site to be lent equipment which allow a JOAD club to establish with limited start up funding.

 

A youth archery range is in the process of being built across the street from the FITA Archery Range near the Broad head and FITA practice range.

Keep an eye on Ben Avery FITA area as the facility continues to see more and more usage.
